Family Pictures

Yesterday we went to get some pictures taken at JCPenney, we had two awesome coupons and got a steal of a deal (you know how happy that makes me!!). We had a GREAT time, as you can tell from the pictures........

What a great family:)

TODAY

Yes, HOLD THE PHONE.....I am posting about today! I know it is a miracle, but it is proof that miracles DO happen! This morning we went to playgroup and had a great time painting! All of them LOVE to paint. Olivia could paint everyday for hours-she is so creative! and GOOD! Isaac makes an enormous mess, but keeps going and going. The trick with Isaac is to keep giving him new paper or pictures to paint or he will just keep piling the paint on the picture he has! Michael is probably the only child in Grade School who would rather not go to art (shocking). But he tries everytime!

It is always fun to play with toys! Silly Olivia! She played House and Doctor the whole time. One of the other little girls put a doll up her belly and said I'm pregnant. Then she sat in the doctors (Olivia's) chair and Olivia said I can fix that. She gave her a pretend shot in the belly and grabbed the baby out and said "here." So simple, yes!

Michael and Isaac are BOYS! They started playing a game where on the the boys has a ball, the others ride a bike. The one with the ball chases the ones on the bike and tries to hit them with the ball. And if the ball thrower (Isaac was this for most of the time) hits someone with the ball (soft, thankgoodness) they fall off of the bike in a SILLY manner. They played this game for a long time. It never got old. It was a good morning.............:)

I have the most AWESOMEST kids ever!

So, yesterday I was playing UNO with the kids and all of the sudden Michael stops and says "OH NO, I forgot my....." as he walked away from the table. He comes back with his Batting helmet. He wears this for quite some time and it was so funny I had to take a picture of him. The ISAAC said, "Take a picture of me MOM" this is his pose.......

Later we went to the park by Waylon's work so he could meet us there after his meetings were over.....Isaac got to work on the playground.

And since Michael and Olivia were playing baseball Isaac had to bring his T-ball. You can't see it but there is a hole in the middle of rock wall and Isaac was aiming to hit his ball through it. And he did most of the time. Man, is he going to be an athlete!

Michael getting ready to swing!

Waylon helping Olivia! She gets frustrated when she isn't perfect. She is learning to control her emotions and channel that frustration into trying harder.

We had a GREAT DAY:)

Baseball

So, Olivia started baseball last week and has been enjoying it so much! Michael decided to play football instead but is still having a hard time wanting to play also. The adorable Michael and Olivia at Olivia's first baseball game.

Mommy and Isaac getting loves!

Olivia and her new bat. It is all about having a cool you know. She got one that is yellow with pink flowers! She is playing coach pitch for the first time (t-ball in the past) and can hit quite well at times! What a beautiful girl!

Olivia is such a go getter in baseball, she runs to catch every ball (even if it is across the whole field) and is right in there with the boys diving the get the ball first! She got her pink baseball glove last year, but it all about the pink! (Like someone else I know!).

Isaac playing on the swings during the game. This is Isaac's favorite- he loves to play on the swings like this-he is not daring and this is very safe. Good Times at Baseball!

32!

Waylon has his 32nd Birthday last week! He is such a silly guy-he Loves making gomer faces when I try and take pictures of him! Waylon, Olivia, Isaac and Michael and the BONFIRE!
The kids and I decorated in Broncos (Waylon's absolutely favorite team).

We did a countdown of Waylon's favorite things. I mimicked David Letterman's top ten, but it ended up being the top 14!! Waylon said it was his best birthday ever! Maybe he is just remembering last year when we all had the flu on his birthday!

Like Father like son! Isaac picked out a shirt for Waylon to wear to work.

Michael has a snorkel set he and Waylon have been sharing when we go to the pool. So, Michael really wanted to get his Dad his own!

We went golfing-Waylon loves to Golf!

Our "Tiger Woods" in training. All of them love to golf. They were so funny to watch! We did lots of other fun things and had a great day!

Mobius

While we were in Spokane a couple of weeks ago, we went to Mobius with my sisters, mom and all of the kids!! Mobius is a fun interactive children's science center! Isaac and his cousin digging in the lentil pit. The most adorable Landon and Emma:)

The boys (now how did I miss my Michael?) Nathan, Isaiah and Isaac having a blast!

Olivia also known as SPEED RACER!

What a fun day we had playing and discovering and the company was the best!

Elder Spencer

Well, Just saw this picture of my brother, Jacob serving a mission in Florida and I am shocked! He told me he lost 12 pounds (they do a lot of biking and sweating) and he just looks so skinny in the face. He is the first Spencer to go on a mission and I am so happy he is there!!! I am sure it is REALLY hard and he is awesome. But, the church is true so that makes it easier. He is in my thoughts A LOT!

Pony Farm

Our ward (church) has playgroup every week. It is a lot of fun for the kids and the Moms:) This week we went to a pony farm and the kids got to pet and see several horses. As you can see, Olivia was in HEAVEN. She loves horses, absolutely loves them!

A picture of all of the kids. Olivia is in front wearing a dark blue shirt, Michael is to the left of her with a gray shirt and cap on. Isaac is kind of below Michael with a black hat on. Isaac loved the dog, he kept wanting to pet her. They all had a great time:)

My New Look

Well, as a child I desperately wanted to have curly hair. My hair was so straight that a perm would just fall out. If I would try to curl with a curling iron, it would last 30 minutes....maybe. But now my hair is naturally THIS CURLY. Crazy. It is fun though:)

Spencer Family Reunion

Spencer Family Reunion! SO MANY awesome people that I get to see all at one time, yea! My Dad, Mom, Amy, David, Gene, Leslie, Steve, Mary, Isaiah, Rebekah, Emma, Ben, Nadine, Michael, Elias, Noah, Waylon, Michael, Olivia, Isaac, Mandy, Landon, Lydia and Nate the Great! I did really miss Jauq-la-wi (my brother Jacob serving a mission right now). We usually all go camping together and we planning on that until the day before when the forecast said several days of downpour-so we all gathered at my sister Nadine's house for lots of fun and giggles and Nadine and Michael are the best hosts! My brother Gene with Baby Landon. Landon is his name, but to my kids it is"Baby Landon"- wonder what they will call him when he grows up! Gene is the most awesomest of brothers, I miss not seeing him all of the time (cause who wouldn't??)

The Barbies-My sisters Mandy and Lydia. Now growing up in a family with so many girls, there was always hair, makeup and nails going on. Good times:)

Isaac and his cousins having all the fun! Isaac was enjoying this so much he would not look
at me (rare-he loves the camera!)MY twin! The beautiful Mary:)

It is hard being away from all of my nieces and nephews because they rock! My kids do agree they love cousins more than anything.

Gene, Landon, Emma, Mandy and my Madre. Good times in the backyard.

Olivia and Rebekah BFF (best friends forever)- these two are inseparable. It is really very cute! We even had a girls slumber party at Amy's house (so much fun) and Amy got me hooked on Twilight!

So when I got home I realized how many people I missed, too many!

It was such a fun few days to catch up and be with so many amazing people. I just love reunions.....................................

Self Portrait

Last week I took the kids up to the church to play basketball while I cleaned out the Young Women closet. I had my camera and Michael was having FUN, this is the result!

Wiggle Like a Fish!

A few weeks ago, we went to a fun picnic at the local library. There was also entertainment-Wiggle Like a Fish. They sing and dance and it is so much fun!

Olivia and Michael eating their food and listening to the music.

Isaac eating some lunch! What a great day!
