Changes

There are so many changes going on in our household it has been crazy. One of which things has been taking the crib rails off and transitioning to a toddler bed (in Feb). The transition has NOT been an easy one. Most nights end very late and after 3-7 attempts of getting up out of bed and the most excessive whining of wanting mom or dad to stay in the room. Spencer constantly opens his door or turns on his light and this goes on for hours. Frustration levels have run very high. We bought a turtle that glows and shows constellations when it is in dark in hopes that he would want to stay in bed where it is dark in order to watch them. It didn't have the huge impact that I thought it would. One thing Spencer likes, is getting into mommy and daddy's bed and covering up with the covers. We had not transitioned any of his crib bedding out because we wanted to wait until we were in the new house. So as an option to try, we bought new bedding for his room in hopes he would "like" his new bed. Here is the old bedding. Bye, bye to the bi-planes and airplanes that hung in his room. Hello to his (awwww, wait, guess...) BALLS


As you can see, he can hardly contain his excitement! He loves jumping into the pile of covers it creates on his bed. He also climbs into bed and tells us to "cover me up."

This hasn't been a huge impact on him going to sleep at night either, but he enjoys the different balls (which I am sure he is dreaming of throwing).

Eat Your Heart Out Tom Cruise

We all have seen Tom Cruise dancing in his whitey tighties to "Old Time Rock and Roll." Well, Spencer has just topped Tom Cruise. He is dancing in his SUPER GROVER underware to Kris Kross' "Jump Jump." The hilarious thing about this is that he can actually do the dance. The concentration on his face is priceless.
Here is a portion of his dance and make sure to turn up the volume and listen at the end when he sings along with the song.

Outstanding Youth Award

Madison had her interview for the Moore Service League's Outstanding Youth Award on Sunday. She looked so AMAZING and confident. Her interview went well and the essay topic they had to write about was, Who You Admire Most and Why. Madison chose to write about her dad. This picture was taken before the interview and upon coming home, she chose to play a little Guitar Hero, still in her skirt.


For those of you that know Madi, she doesn't wear dresses or skirts (seriously, at all). I absolutely love this picture because it is totally her. We are so proud of her accomplishments this year, now we have to wait until May 6th to see if she won.
