Lehi Rodeo

So last night we went to the rodeo. I was sure that Spencer would love the horses and cows/bulls, which he did. But his favorite part was the motorcross show in the middle. He LOVED watching the two guys jump high in the air, do flips and ride around the arena. He even got so excited he was throwing his arms into the air! Pretty cute.

I got seats right next to the roping which was also fun for Spencer (he was pretty much eye to eye with the horses), until I realized that he was distracting the team roping horses by waving his flag at them...oops. Hopefully it didn't hurt any scores....

Happy Birthday and Father's day!

Jean, we think you are the greatest and we love you!! Seriously, I have always known how blessed I am to have Jean in my life, but with my new job I am more aware of and grateful for what a blessing he really is. Since I have been working with people with such acute sadness, or who are in these crazy and awful situations that I would never wish upon anyone, I really am daily grateful for what I have and for what I don't have. I really don't deserve to be so richly blessed and saying that my cup runneth over hardly does justice. Jean, hopefully I can be as good for you as you are for me, happy birthday and father's day and know that I love you always.

poor unsuspecting child...

Poor Spencer just thinks he is posing for a picture, little does he know his dad is about to poke his sides. Welcome to his life!

And I just think he is cute sitting with his legs crossed putting his cars on his "parking lot".

recent trip to Vegas, Arizona and El Paso

So this post isn't in chronological order, which bugs, but I don't want to spend the time to learn how to upload in order...While in AZ, Leticia's friends, Neide and David, invited us over for a BBQ. Their family is so nice and we had a lot of fun. Spencer loved playing with all the kiddos too.

Enjoying the helicopter and tanks at Ft. Bliss' museum

Loving Grandma and Grandpa's pool

He is so stinkin cute in those swim diapers

Spencer never quite decided how he felt about being in the pool

Of course, the Bellagio in Vegas

We also went to the Vegas airport to watch the planes come and go but we also got to see about 8 helicopters take off to tour the Grand Canyon. Spencer was in heaven!!

Spencer loves to feed ducks so we found this cool park in Vegas and saw a mama duck with like 16 little ducklings. so.cute.

We had a great trip and loved visiting so many family and friends!!!

Hoarding...

Or maybe stealing, but either way, bad behavior for a two year old. Apparantly, Spencer was shoving any and as many matchbox cars into his cargo pants pockets as he could at nursery today and put up a huge fight if anyone tried to take them out. So when Jean went to pick him up his pockets were loaded and Jean had a heck of a time getting the cars out to be left in nursery. I know we don't pay people for the service they provide in the LDS church, but I do feel nursery leaders should get paid. =) Hopefully Spencer wasn't too much of a pill today, we are really grateful for the nursery leaders!!!

Wishing everyone a...

"happy burpday" as it is known to Spencer, or "happy birthday" as it is more commonly known to the rest of the world. Since he heard us wishing our nieces happy birthdays the other day, that has now become his common expression. I sure love being wished a happy burpday on an hourly basis!! =)

graduation!

Jean graduated from UVU this weekend and we are so proud of him! He is such a hard worker and I feel bad that his schooling had to be so prolonged because of meeting and marrying me, but am so grateful that he has been patient and has worked so hard to finish and do well! Here are some pics of the day in no particular order. We were so glad that Leticia was able to come and she was great company during graduation. I would have gone nutty had she not been there!!!

!

Congratulations, Jean!!! Spencer and I sure love you lots!!

Tulip Festival

Sorry to post so many pics, but there were just too many to choose from! I still would like to most many more...Leticia, my mom, Spencer and I all went to the tulip festival the other day and it was just amazing!!!

Spencer really loves "pocket pants" as you can see!!
