We saw the movie 'UP'

Such a cute, cute movie!!!! I recommend all to see!!! My 2 brothers went alone they are 25 and almost 22 they saw the 3D version and loved it, my kids were glued to their seats enjoying every minute of the show!!!! We didn't see the 3D version, I thought the glasses might be too distracting for my kiddos!!!

We saw Night at the Museum 2

the kids liked it a lot!! However I think they both kind of antsy at the end of the movie, but it was a cute family show!!! And I enjoyed playing Pacman in the lobby before the show starts...I'm a pacman addict!!! I wish atari would come back!!!

We went to Cedar City...

My good friend Keri had her second baby boy (isn't he a doll), they live in Kanab but her Doctor and Hospital was in Cedar City, and I was lucky enough to be the one to take his newborn pictures right in the hospital. We decided to make a little mini vacation out of it!!

We went on a little hike in Kolob Canyon, Zions National Park and the kids loved it!! It is so beautiful, we are going to plan another trip just to go see and do all the fun hikes that are there,  and then we just relaxed and had fun at the Hotel swimming pool, nothing much but we all had so much fun, it was a much needed getaway!!

I went to the Taylor Swift Concert!!!

My little 8 year old Grace was so thrilled when for her birthday she opened up the box to find Taylor Swift Tickets for the very next day!!! My sister, Melissa, wanted to tell her so bad because she knew how badly she wanted to go, but kept it a secret, for a long time and it was worth Grace had the cutest surprised reaction!!!! The next day me (having strep, but not letting anything keep me away from the concert) Melissa, Grace and my other niece Ashley went to Iggy's for dinner (Grace's request) then to the concert, it was great!!! She is so cute, she came into the audience and took time to hug, and shake peoples hands and sign autographs and talk to the audience, she seems like a really sweet girl!!! And even through strep I managed to sing my little heart out through all the songs, we had a blast!!!

We have been Sick

not fun, but we have all had our fair share of sickness, I had strep and what felt like a constant cold, Alyssa still has the cold, poor thing!

We went to the ZOO!!!

We love to go to the zoo as a family in the spring!!! It is not miserable because you are dying of heat, and best of all the animals are so active, not just laying like lumps in a corner (poor things)...

Facebook is Killing my BLOG!!!!

OKAY, SOOOOO much has been going on and you don't know about it, and I wont have it for my records because of stinkin' facebook!!!! I promise updates will be added this weekend, so fasten your seat belts your going to be in for a Spencer overload!!!!

Mother's Day 2009

 Chad and the kids were great on Saturday night, Austin had bugged Chad enough to give me my present early (I said no gifts) but they were sneaky and got me some beautiful pink roses, chocolates and a handmade card from Austin, that he made at school! I was so happy to have my first handmade card, with words he wrote himself, and a picture of our family, that he drew all by himself. I thought that Austin was so excited to give me the gift to see my reaction,  but he had better things in mind, his exact words "now, about that chocolate..." little sneak, just wanted some of my special chocolates!!! Well, of course he got one, and so did his little sister standing at his side batting her baby blues!

Every weekend Chad is amazing and gets up with the kids and let me sleep in!!! Well, today he let me sleep in until 10:30 am it was, the best!! Then he woke me up, normally I would have been grumpy, but it was because he was bringing me breakfast in bed!!! It was awesome!!! The kids made me some more cards in primary, at church! Alyssa was so proud that she got to make a card like Austin!! And then we had to leave church early so I missed them singing to me, in sacrament, so Chad video recorded them singing me their songs!!! It was the best!!! This year has been the best Mother's Day so far, I have an amazing family who I love so much and my kids love me more than anything in "the whole wife world" no mis-spelling , that's how they say it :)

Being a mom is really the best thing ever!!! I am so thankful to my kiddos and my dear sweet chaddy for the joy and happiness they bring to my life, and I always find my self wishing I could be better, wishing there were more hours in a day to get things done, especially housework! OY! I feel like I am following my kids around cleaning up mess after mess, until I give up and join in and play along too! and I found this poem on my friends blog, that made me realize, I would much rather have a messy house and enjoy my time with my kids, than to be able to have a spotless house and miss out on all the time with my kids....well, here it is, I hope you love it as much as I do:

What Did I Do Today?

Today I left some dishes dirty,

The bed got made around 3:30.

The diapers soaked a little longer,

The odor grew a little stronger.

The crumbs I spilled the day before

Are staring at me from the floor.

The fingerprints there on the wall

Will likely be there still next fall.

The dirty streaks on those windowpanes

Will still be there next time it rains.

Shame on you, you sit and say,

Just what did you do today?

I held a baby till she slept, 

I held a toddler while she wept.

I played a game of hide and seek,

I squeezed a toy so it would squeak.

I pulled a wagon, sang a song,

Taught a child right from wrong.

What did I do this whole day through?

Not much that shows, I guess that's true.

Unless you think that what I've done,

Might be important to someone

With deep blue eyes and soft blonde hair,

If that is true...I've done my share.

Happy Mother's Day to all 3 of our moms, we love you more than you will ever know!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Alyssa!!!!

Alyssa turned 3 years old on 04/26...I truly can't believe she is 3 years old already. Some days I can't believe she is ONLY 3 , but I still think of her as my little baby, so I really can't believe it has been 3 years!!!

We had our family over to celebrate!!!

Alyssa wanted a princess party (of course) so we had a princess castle cake, princess costumes, tiara and wand making...it was a princess extravaganza!!!!

Happy Birthday sweet angel we love you!!!!
