Me and My mom

I can't even begin to say how much I love Mr. Spencer!  My grandma was talking about how sometimes she doesn't like Heavenly Father's plan because it's not how she wanted it.  I told her that Spencer wasn't part of my plan, I thought I was done having kids but he was part of Heavenly Father's plan for me and it turned out to be one of the biggest blessings in my life and my families life.  He is such a joy to all of us and our lives are filled with more love because of it.  I sure love this boy! (and note Blake's stache in the picture - love him too)

1st haircut

Your hair was getting so long but dad and I didn't want to cut it because we knew it would make you look so much older, so we waited . . . . . . . . and waited . . . . . . . . and waited . . . . . and then finally one day I just decided to cut it.  You were so good, I gave you an organic sucker (yes it was the first treat you've ever had and no I didn't let you finish it after I was done cutting your hair) and you loved it.  

1 year old

I can't believe you are 1!  It seems crazy how fast the time has gone and how quickly you are growing!  You sleep great and eat great most of the time.  Although you've started to get picky about what you will eat.  You are starting to take steps but mostly prefer to crawl.  You had a pumpkin cake with frosting and strawberries for your birthday and you loved it.  We celebrated at the Robert's cabin since we were there for new years so we went sledding as well which you didn't seem to mind.  Mostly you liked it when someone would pull you along the road in a sled and you could just lay there.  I took you snowshoeing as well and you rode in the backpack on my back.  You continue to be such a mellow baby and we all adore you.
While at the cabin we had a glow stick dance party in the dark and you loved it.  You would sit on the floor in the middle of everyone and wave your glow sticks and talk and dance.  It was so cute!

Your brothers adore you and continue to want to hold you always.  They love to make you laugh and I love that they love you so much!  You are such a joy in our family!

Sleigh Ride

Our family went on a sleigh ride/ wagon ride to go visit Santa this year.  You loved the horses.  We sat in the front of the wagon and you would just watch the horses.  You kept your eye on Santa but were also fine to sit on his lap for a picture, you just refused to smile.

A few trips

This summer we took you to Disneyland, Santa Cruz, and San Fransisco while the boys were at swimming lessons.  You were such a good traveler, did great on the plane but then when we drove up the coast you weren't as impressed.  I think you missed having your brothers in the back with you. 
We road bikes across the golden gate bridge, you slept in the bike carrier the entire time.  We also went to an As game.

In October we went to Disneyland and you loved it.  You loved the carousel the most but you also like the other rides along with the characters.
