More swimming and bubble bath!

We went to a pool in Tulsa one day right by where my sister used to live. It was so great. It had a shallow pool and slides and lots of other fun things. And Spencer really enjoyed this pool experience.

Crawling in the water.

After swimming for a little while we decided to take a little snack break. Here is Spencer enjoying his Jamba Juice and cracker. The Jamba Juice was mine but I have realized that anything I eat in front of Spencer these days isn't mine for very long.

Grace and Spencer. We could not get either of them to look at the camera! Spencer was having too much fun splashing in the water apparently.

One morning while I was giving Spencer a bath Ben, Grace, and Breeny came in and decided they wanted to take a bath too! We were planning on going swimming later that day and so they weren't supposed to get in the bath, but it was just too much fun to pass up. We decided to fill the tub up and make some bubbles.

Bubbles! Spencer had to stay standing up because the water was so high and he would just start drinking the water if he was sitting down.

Not sure what to think of all the bubbles.

Spencer could not stop eating the bubbles! And I love how at the end of this video he's coughing and trying to wipe the taste off his tongue...what a silly kid.

Kiddie park

Last weekend while my sister Jessica and her kids were visiting we decided to go to the Kiddie Park. It's a little amusement park for just kids and had some rides that even Spencer could go on. I wasn't sure how he would like going on rides by himself but he loved it! And it was so hilarious to watch him. I guess other people thought it was pretty funny too because someone took a picture of him when he was riding on the airplane (a little weird too, I know).

Benson and Spencer riding the carriages. (although their names seem like they are nothing alike I always mix up them up...I feel like saying Benser and Spenson or something)

Spencer riding on the cars. He loved this ride.

Smiling at everyone before riding on the airplanes!

Before the airplane started. He was having fun just sitting on the rides!

We're here!

So we made it to Oklahoma. Actually, we've been here about a week now. We are all settled and still just getting used to the humidity. Bryce is enjoying his job so far. He's working in a PT clinic and will hopefully be starting up some athletic training at some of the smaller high schools around. Spencer has adjusted to a new room and loves all the space to crawl around.

Driving his car.

Playing in the tub! As you can see Spencer really enjoys bath time.

Getting dried off.

Spencer's first pool experiences haven't gone over so well. We went to a big pool the other day and he seemed to just enjoy sitting on the side watching everyone else play in the pool. And today we went and got a little pool for the backyard and he was either screaming or trying to crawl out unless I was in there and he was sitting on my lap. I think he was mostly scared of the hose in the little pool. It kept splashing water on him.

Eating some chili. I decided to give Spencer a few chili beans from some chili we were eating. As you can tell it was very messy. But Spencer loved it!

Fourth of July

After we had packed up all our stuff and loaded it on the truck we drove up to Salt Lake to stay with my sister Chelsea for a few days before leaving for Oklahoma. On the fourth we did a little shopping and then went to Sharayne and Craig's for a barbeque and fireworks with all the family. I was pretty sure Spencer would be a little afraid of the fireworks, atleast the noisy ones, but he loved them. He just sat there staring at them.

Watching fireworks with the cousins.

It's Official!

This past week Bryce accepted a job in Oklahoma! And we will be moving out there in a week or so (we are still trying to decide exactly when to leave). I really never thought I would move back to Oklahoma (that is where I grew up) but we are excited for the new adventure. It will definitely be sad to leave family and friends here in Utah but we are also pretty excited to spend some time with our family in Oklahoma! I decided to break the news to Spencer during lunch and this was his initial reaction...

Oklahoma?!?

He's pretty excited about it though. Now we've just got to pack pack pack! I hate moving...

Update

I can hardly believe it is already the middle of June! We haven't been doing anything very exciting lately, but I figured I could update our blog with some new pictures of Spencer since that's all I blog about anyway. Bryce is still looking for a job. We've basically narrowed it down to two and hopefully will hear back about one so we can make our decision and get moving.


Spencer is now 8 months old! And he is crawling all over the place. I think he is much happier now that he can move himself to where he wants to go. Unfortunately usually where he wants to go is either to cords and outlets! Or to paper or anything he's not supposed to have that happens to fall on the ground. He has also been sleeping without being wrapped up for a while now which is wonderful. He is just such a happy and fun baby!



Looking at himself in the mirror.




Spencer loves the vacuum. I think he actually just loves the light on it, but whenever I get it out I have to vacuum really fast before he catches me! (the video isn't uploading...I'll have to try again later)


My parents and little sisters Jenny and Sarah came out a week or so ago. Jenny is actually out here going to college now so they were bringing her out. It was fun to see them and get to spend some time with them. We planned on going to Lagoon one day but we found out it was closed right before we went! I was pretty excited to take Spencer on some rides and take him to the little water park for his first experience in his swimsuit (we still have not been swimming or anything yet this summer!). So instead of going to Lagoon we just hung out and helped Aunt Jenny unpack and organize her new room! Spencer even helped...



Visiting Aunt Jenny's new room at college! He wanted to help hang up some of her clothes.


And that is all the updates on us. Hopefully we will find out soon where Bryce will be working and where we will be living!

Green Nose Baby

Sometimes Spencer gets a little too excited for his baby food and he moves his head forward right into the spoon with food on it. This time it ended up on his nose.

The bridge.

Spencer loves to stand. He stands on walls, his crib, the couches. He likes to spread his arms out too, this picture looks like he's about to be frisked by the police.

So ready to crawl...he just can't figure out how to move his arms with his legs.

Waving goodnight.

Other than taking lots of pictures of mostly just Spencer we haven't been up to much lately. Bryce is studying hard for his certification test that he will take in June and still searching for a job. The weather has been so great so we've been spending a lot of time outside too. We go on walks and runs and sometimes just sit outside in the sun.
