Memorial Day Weekend

I have a whole lot of catching up to do, but I'm going to start with Memorial Day and work backwards. I didn't take many pictures last weekend...

On Friday, Spencer got a big boy bed! We found a perfect bed frame on craigslist — Spencer requested a bed that was low to the ground. The white headboard matches the rest of his furniture perfectly.


We woke up Saturday and headed to the ranch to see Geep and Pop. Spencer and I went on a couple of hikes and Spence chased butterflies and took pictures with Geep's camera. There was also time for fishing and having breakfast on the porch.


We came back to Austin Sunday evening. Steffani, Chad and Ella were nice enough to invite us over to Nana's house Monday for lunch and swimming. Spencer tried swim goggles for the first time and had fun peeking underwater. We all had fun watching Ella dive and swim like a little fish! You can see pictures on Steffani's blog.

For our last stop, we went over to Garven's house that evening for a cookout. Spencer had so much fun playing with Camp and Robert. Spencer even tried the game Just Dance on the Wii. I was so proud of him for stretching out of his comfort zone. I couldn't stop smiling — so cute!

Revisiting May

Gosh, it's been a long time since I've let myself get this far behind on blogging. Just haven't been in the mood lately. But tonight I finished the May web photo album and added one for June. Since I didn't write much in May, I thought I'd revisit it quickly tonight...

Memorial Day weekend was a little uneventful for us because Spencer wasn't feeling well. He'd been coughing and started running a low-grade fever. He even fell asleep on the couch, so you know he felt bad! (Sidebar: That illness lingered and about a week later we found out he had a double ear infection plus pink eye. Thank you, preschool!)

On Memorial Day he was feeling a little more chipper so we decided to make some chocolate ice cream using the Donvier that Mommy found while purging some items from the kitchen. Now, I thought this was going to be super fun for Spencer, but it turns out that waiting 20 minutes for ice cream isn't all that fun for a 3.5 year old. But he did enjoy the final product.


Finally, we received Spencer's first school photos. I must admit I felt a bit like crying when I saw them (silly) because he looks so darn big. Our little guy sure is growing up fast. Love him so much!
