Spence Lately

Spence Lately

-Spence is sooo strong willed.  I'm not sure if it just the age or what?  I slightly remember Brant being this way at this age.  I think he is just figuring out he has options.  In the afternoons he does not want me to take off his jacket, shirt, pants, or shoes until he is ready.  Definitely do not take his plate until he says done.

-Eating:  He is the slowest eater you have ever seen!  The boy loves to eat.  He is not very picky so far I know he doesn't like grapefruit.  He loves meat in any form, pizza, fruit, cookies, LOVES candy corn just like Brant and fruit snacks!  He will go get a snack and sit down so I can open it for him.

-Sleeping:  I really am so thankful for his sleeping routine.  He goes down easy and I rarely like almost never have to get up with him.  He sleeps so soundly.  Even in the mornings when he does wake up he doesn't cry just waits for us to come get him.

-He has started throwing the paci in the bed and when we get out of the car I will say "No paci's", and he and Brant chunk them.

-Helps put on his pants, socks, and shoes

-He's very organized but in a different way than Brant.  It is so interesting.  He wants things in there place.  He likes to throw things away for us.

-Some of his favorites are his daddy (big time daddies boy), Brant and anything that Brant is interested in

-He loves for us to "get him" and being chased.

-He is the most ticklish thing I have ever seen.

-He is our little talker!  He is already attempting to say almost anything.  He has a ton of regular words, but his favorite is "no" mostly directed at Brant.  He hates for Brant boss him.



 He's a daddies boy!
 The two outer teeth came in before his middle teeth!
Loves being outside!

 Loves Kyle!


 Loves this chair.
 Loves putting food in his hair
 Has his momma's appetite.
 A little cuddle bug


 Just a hoot!!!  Keeps us laughing



 Loves his brother



 We love this little chunky monkey!

Gatlinburg 2015

Family vacation!  This past Christmas we decided to do a trip instead of presents!  It was the best idea ever!  We had so much fun.  We met in the middle which is Gatlinburg how nice is that!

Here we are on our first stop!  McDonalds.  Can you tell we are so excited!?
We got there a little early so we went to one of the road side fair type things.  My boys really really enjoys this!  I think it was actually one of their favorite things.





The first night Ms. Susie gave us "big kids" a night out.  We went to the new little downtown like area in Gatlinburg called The Island.  It reminded me of a downtown Disney feel.


Our first official day, we just took our time and went to Dollywood's Splash Country.  We had planned to do the after three the next day is free.
We are all ready to go!




We came back and hit the hot tub!

The boys and Nat Nat!  They loved Nat Nat.

The whole family made a trip to The Island



One day during the boys nap the four of us went and walked around Gatlinburg.  I sure do miss my Rosie!
We of course went to the Dixie Stampede.  

At one point I looked down and saw this!  My heart melted!

Brant was worn out!

We grilled one night and had some of Mr. Ira's corn. Yum!

My little bunch!

This really was such a great trip.  We had an awesome cabin with an amazing set up.  Most of all we loved getting to hang out with these guys!  We miss them so much!

4th of July weekend

Unk and Aunt Amanda snuck in while we were sleeping!  Here is Brant waking Unk!
Friday morning we all hung out and ate the not so delicious pancakes I made.
These two were immediately best buds.
Spence getting in on the action.  Kyle is looking at him like, "What in the world, Dude?"
Brant was just crazy crazy crazy about him!
Then Saturday morning we hung out and waited on Meme and Paw to get there...



They brought the boys a new toy...Our very own splash pad!
Getting their Kyle fix

Meme and Spence
They were all in their grandpa shirts.  Meme thought they could get a picture...
This is the best it got.  It is actually perfect.... Brant is screaming, Spence is smiling, Kyle's sleeping and Paw is scared to death!  LOVE it!
Checking him out
The love between these two is mutual!
He insisted on holding him! He would say "I got you"
Everyone getting their Kyle time!!

Loving on this boy!

Such a wonderful weekend!
