More pictures...

Spencer is taking a nap and Bryce is driving back from an interview for PA school in Arizona, so I figured I'd update the blog while I've got a few minutes. So Bryce had an interview today in Arizona. We decided he would just drive down because it would be cheaper...probably a bad idea. So here is what happened. I printed out some maps for him using Streets and Trips. I didn't even look at the directions and wouldn't even have known any better if I had looked over them because I've never even been to Arizona. So Bryce is driving and the directions take him to a dirt road. There was a sign that said "4-wheel drive recommended" but the road looked pretty dry so he figured he would be okay. Well, he ended up getting stuck! There were no cars coming so he figured he would have to walk back to the normal road to try and find some help. So he started walking down the dirt road, thinking he probably wouldn't even make it to the interview when someone drove by in a Jeep. So anyway, he got out and made it to Arizona a lot later than planned, but he still got there. I guess I had it set on shortest distance which ended up being on a dirt road. Whoops! I will never make maps for trips again! We are just glad someone came and helped him out and that he is on his way back now.

Other than that nothing too exciting has been happening. Here are a few new pictures of our Spencer.

Spencer chewing on his toy.

I discovered that Spencer loves to sit like this and watch me fold laundry. He will just sit there the whole time and watch me as long as I keep moving. If I stop for too long he will get upset. It is so perfect because I actually get the laundry folded and I get it done fast because I have to keep moving!

Playing on the floor. I thought this was a good one because he is kind of smiling.

Trying to stuff both of his hands in his mouth! He loves to eat his hands and every once in a while I catch him trying to fit both hands in his little mouth. He has been starting to suck on his thumb too...good or bad? I don't know...probably good because it keeps him happy!

3 Months Old

It has already been 3 months! So here are a few new pictures of our growing baby Spencer. He is starting to love standing and sitting up. And he loves bath time! He splashes himself with water a lot which gets him going splashing his hands and legs even more...it's pretty funny to watch. He is just such a happy baby and are so glad we have him.


Standing up with mommy's help.


Taking a nap with dad. (you can really see Bryce's cleft chin in this picture, so that is at least partially where Spencer got his huge dimple chin)


Chillin out with his binky.


Being dried off after bath time. It's just such a cute picture I had to post it...I figured I would cover his little behind for anyone that might think posting naked baby pictures is inappropriate. So he has a football covering him... =)

And here is a video of Spencer playing on the ground that I took today.

Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful Christmas break! I can hardly believe it is already over but I suppose we are ready to get back into our regular schedule again. Bryce started his last semester at BYU today!

Before Christmas we spent some time with Bryce's family. They always have a few family parties for the holiday and it was nice to be able to see everyone. This year Spencer was baby Jesus in the nativity play.


Here he is in the manger. Although he was a very cute baby Jesus he didn't seem too happy about it...he screamed almost the entire time!

We drove out to Oklahoma this year for Christmas. And what a loooong drive! It was worth it though. We had a lot of fun spending time with my family over the break. All of my siblings were home which was really nice. We played a lot of games, went to the church and played volleyball and slaughterball, played football and soccer, went to Oklahoma City for a few days, watched lots of movies, and just enjoyed each others company.


Spencer in his cute Christmas outfit that Aunt Chelsea bought for him. He looked so handsome! His cousin Benson also had a matching vest but we never got a picture of them together like we wanted...but they were cute.


Christmas Eve in his outfit that Grandma Barbara gave him.


Christmas morning showing off his new presents. A Bumbo and a cute outfit my parents bought for him.


My parents got a wii for Christmas so we had fun bowling and playing tennis and such. Here are Bryce and John bowling.

My mom was playing with Spencer the morning after we got there (mornings are his happiest time of the day) and got him to laugh! Well, he is at least trying to laugh. It is so cute because it sounds like he wants to, but just can't get it to come out right.

So we loved Christmas! It is a little sad that it went by so fast and we are once again in the cold and snow. (It was pretty nice while we were in Oklahoma. I went on a few walks and a bike ride it was so nice!) But we are ready to start the new year...it should be a pretty exciting one!!
