Happy Birthday Spencer {3}

I can't believe that my sweet little nephew turned 3 on the 21st. We have been blessed to have him in our lives, he brings such joy and laughter.

What we love about him: His perfect round head, smile, giggle, that he just adores Dave and always wants to play with him, chubby cheeks, long eyelashes and his love of life.

Ode to Chocolate

I saw this in a book called The Big Picture By: Stacy Julian. I just love it because it describes how I feel about my love of chocolate.

AHH... my sweet CHOCOLATE, what can I say that would EXPRESS my deep and undying affection to you? I LOVE you. There are SIMPLY times, when you are the ONLY thing that can make me feel better. You always seem to know EXACTLY what I need, whether it's crunchy, smooth, dark or cold and creamy-you are there when I need you most. I have a feeling my DEVOTION to you will ENLARGE my soul, and perhaps a FEW other things as well-but for all that are, I will remain your TRUE and FAITHFUL friend. Stacie

IKEA

I am posting this a little late, this happened before Brian got his Mission call. Oh well, this was the first time Britnie and Spencer have been to IKEA. I thought it was an enormous store, but adding a 2 1/2 year old made it even larger. There was so much to explore and see.





This was our favorite part of the trip; seeing the yellow bug tied with items. I love there idea of a delivery car.



Britnie wants to get this for Spencers' birthday.




I love this rug. Just had to get a picture.




Out of all the things that a child would be so happy to pick out, Spencer chose a fish ice tray. What a silly little guy.
