Snow Day!

Today was the first real snow storm here! Spencer and I stayed inside most of the day to stay warm. But we did go out to our ward christmas party and so we took a few pictures of Spencer with the snow. He loved being out in the cold as you can tell... (don't worry, we were only out for a few minutes, just enough time to get a few pictures)

We also went up to Temple Square Friday night to see the lights. It was a perfect night to go. It was clear and not too cold.

Spencer all bundled up and ready to go.

Just Lately...

Last Thursday was my sister Chelsea's birthday. We decided that for her present we would take her to see the "Forgotten Carols" play. Nikki, my cousin, and Kyle also came with us so we had a triple date! It was really good too. Some might say it is a little cheesy, but I really enjoyed it and that is what makes it good. Plus the music...the music is so good. Chelsea had lost her voice and so could hardly talk but I'm sure if she had her voice she would've been singing along the whole time. =) So we went up early to go out to dinner with her and Matt and then dropped Spencer off at Bryce's grandparents for a few hours and went to the play. It was nice to be able to watch and not have to worry about a crying baby bothering everyone, but I still don't like leaving him for too long. He did great though and was asleep in grandma's arms when we came to get him. Afterwards we had cake and ice cream at Chelsea's apartment. Here is Chels with her cake!



So I know I probably take too many pictures of Spencer and post so many of them that most people are sick of seeing the child so much...but I just can't help it. I just think he is so cute and I like to go to my blog and see new pictures up. I actually probably look at my blog and click on all the pictures more than anyone else. =) Which is a little silly but oh well...it's my first child. So here are some more pictures of Spencer.


This is Spencer's new nap spot. For some reason during the day he doesn't sleep very well in his crib. I will lay him down and five minutes later he's awake. But when I lay him on the couch snuggled in a blanket he sleeps forever. What a silly baby.


Spencer in his cute jacket that we got from Jessica Stevenson and Megan Shaw at a shower that they threw for me and Chelsi over the summer. He just looks so cute in it that I had to post this picture.


We took Spencer in today to get his 2 month shots. (he was 2 months yesterday!) He did pretty well when he got them. They stuck him with the first needle and a few seconds later he realized what happened and got pretty upset. But after about 5 minutes he was fine and was even smiling at us in the lobby while we massaged his little legs. His legs were a little sore tonight (he cried every time you would touch his legs) so we decided to give him a bath. He loves the bath and it really cheered him up. We of course made him decent for the pictures.


This was after Spencer's bath. He was in a really happy mood for a while.

This is also the last week of classes for Bryce. I think he's pretty ready for the semester to be over. Only one more after this and then he'll be done! For a little while anyway...

Decorating the Christmas Tree!

I guess I should talk a little about Thanksgiving first before I post the pictures of our Christmas tree. So, we had a great Thanksgiving. We went to dinner at my grandma's house with Chelsea and Matt and it was amazing! Grandma's are always the best cooks. Later that night we drove to Bryce's grandparents house to see all of his family and watch Christmas Vacation. It is tradition in Bryce's family to watch that movie on Thanksgiving but it was too late by time everyone was ready to watch it, so we watched it at home the next day. So we had a really good Thanksgiving break. It was nice to have Bryce home for a few days...we did a lot of organizing and cleaning which I think he loved! We did watch a lot of football too though, so we were both happy.



Since we are going to Oklahoma for Christmas this year we decided we better get a tree early so we can enjoy it for a few weeks. So we went on Saturday night and picked out a perfect little tree and then decorated it on Sunday.


Spencer helped untangle the lights...


So daddy could put them on the tree!!


He also helped us hang ornaments. He wasn't too excited about this though. I love his face...it is like he's saying "ahh, mom I don't want to hang ornaments!"



Spencer the Christmas tree!


Spencer says Happy Holidays to everyone with a big smile on his face!

I guess I should also mention that Spencer is 8 weeks old today! We went in for his 2 month check up today and found out that he now weighs 11 lbs 14 oz! The nurse looked at him when I took his outfit off and said "wow, he is such a round baby!" Yes, that is our Spencer...round chubby cheek baby! It makes him so cute though, don't you think?
