Sundays at the Spencers

Everyone knows that the Spencers are always busy. ALWAYS. I know, we do it to ourselves, but I honestly don't feel like we have a choice. Justin and I just can't say no. But we love our family and friends, and most of it are fun things so 99% percent of the time we are happy to be busy. This past week I worked so much that I wasn't able to unpack my suitcase from last weekend until yesterday. We just had chores and housework piling up all week, it was driving me batty!

Friday evening we got to go see my Aaron graduate. God, I am proud to be his cousin! I am so glad his brother is part of my son's namesake and I am just thankful that I am his family! Love you Stephensons!

Saturday morning Bowen's internal alarm went off about 6:30 so we were able to get alot accomplished. This was one time I was thankful to get up early. Then I went to get a massage with my friend Kim, and went and had a delicious lunch at Cafe Bistro. DELICIOUS! I came back and got the boys and we spent the afternoon at the pool. We finished out the evening at April's 30th bday party. Today we went and had breakfast at Cracker Barrel, took Bowen to Cabelas to see the fish, and helped set up for Marjorie's 90th birthday party. Marjorie is a very special lady who loves Bowen like he is her own grandson. We love her! Then after a trip to the grocery store, we are finally enjoying a movie, catching up on emails, and opening mail from the week.

To make a long story even longer, I really love my life. Every second of every day is filled to the brim, but it is who we are, and it makes us happy.

Here is a pic from Bowen's first trip to the pool.

First of Many

This weekend we went to Brenham for some good live music and camping. Sprang Thang 2010! It was a blast!! Bowen enjoyed swimming, snacking, and chilling in the shade while listening to some music. He was very happy the whole time so I can't recall his favorite moment but I know he made a ton of friends( just like his Dad). The highlights that I had were the catfish and peach cobbler(and Blue Bell vanilla), sitting with friends while there was live music and fireworks in the background, and floating in the water with Bowen splashing. It all makes me very happy that Bowen and summer are here. Honestly there is nothing like it.

Bath time!

I am sorry I have neglected you...

I can't believe it has been over a month! I am guilty! Never mind, I didn't have a camera charger. I am going to have to post everyday for how much Bowen is doing these days! He's pretty great!! His new favorite thingss include going all over the house, sitting up and playing with his toys, and talking to Duke. I have caught this on video on my phone, and I hope to catch it again soon. It is pretty great!!!!!!

Our oldest lab, and the only girl in the house Dixie passed away last weekend. It was a very hard weekend, and she will always always be missed.

Justin got to go fishing pretty recently and we have a lot of trout to show for it. We are so excited!

We are working on Bowen saying and doing "Bye Bye" and working on the sign for "hungry". He still isn't a huge fan of baby food, but he loves table food!

Playing Outside

Yesterday was a beautiful day for playing outside!



A few weeks ago we went to Zilker and enjoyed some outside time there too.




We are looking forward to Easter this weekend with the family!

I scream You scream

Bowen loves his voice! Sorry that it is crooked, but I love this video and I wanted to share it. This is his new thing to do. We have enjoyed a quiet weekend at home, because they are very few and far in between. We almost don't know what to do with ourselves. It's been awesome though! Enjoy!
