Spencer is 8

Spencer wanted to shoot guns at balloons and play games with balloons.  I think the kid must like balloons since he has had them as his birthday theme for the past 2 years.   We shot guns at waterballoons, played volcano, volcano, POP!  and balloon volleyball.  They all had a great time.








Spencer was so excited to get his own scriptures and have the Doctrine and Covenants in with his 
Book of Mormon.  I can't believe my sweet little boy is 8 years old.  I love you Spencer, more than you love me!!

Ice Fishing

The Boy's tradition is to go to Fish lake around New Years to ice fish.This year they were sick so instead they went to Wide hollow our local reservoir.We usually don't catch much so we weren't expecting anything big.When they came home they said that they didn't catch anything,and then they brought two huge fish in.the biggest one was 18 inches and about three pounds.That of course was Spencer's . Sam's was 17 inches and about three pounds too.
 



 The boys finally got to go to Fish Lake and had a great time and caught a lot of fish .

New Year

Well, it's a New Year and I've realized I've been a HORRIBLE blogger and didn't even do half a last year, which really stinks since I can't have that year put into a blog book.  So my goal this year is to take more pictures and to blog once a week.  So this year so far we have been sick and sick and sick.  I tell you, it's been crazy just trying to keep everyone healthy, especially Brooke.  We've also spent a lot of time playing the Wii, especially Spencer's new Cabela's big game hunter, and pictionary jr.  The kids love to play together for the most part.  We've also been trying to get our house remodeled. I've painted the laudry room, and now actually like to to laundry.  Brooke has been busy adding a room onto the back of the house and we are almost ready to texture and paint it.  I'm so excited.  Basketball has started and Brooke and I are coaching seventeen 3rd and 4th graders, of which 12 are girls.  The boy population over here is struggling as Sam and Spencer both only have 2 other boys in their classes. Not much of a friend pool to choose from.  That's about all that our January so far has been.
