Getting There ...

Here are a few pictures of how the baby's room is shaping up ... the boys pretending to take all the credit for the hard work that Grammy did painting (and yes, Shawn, who finished the second coat in the closet!), Bryce being silly (Spencer took this picture!), a view of the room with the entry door on the left (picture was taken from the closet), and the dragonfly theme that I have started. The frame above the boys is a needlework that my great Auntie Hazel had done with hummingbirds, which fits in this room very nicely. We took the door off the closet (behind Bryce being cute), and we will be putting the changing table in there. Thank you to Maurice who fixed a light fixture in the clost/changing area for us!

Grammy & Grampa's Visit

Grammy got the baby's room painted for us! The walls are "kittery point green", and the ceiling a very light blue. The second picture here is "in progress" ... I'll add more photos when I get the room put back together! Thanks Grammy!

I'm not sure who had more fun with Grampa's 4 wheeler! Thanks for all the wood, Grampa!

Wow ~ 6 Years!

Happy Birthday Spencer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Gang @ Spencer's 6th Bday Party!

Spencer, Gavin & Declan with siblings Bryce, Carter, and Dacey (We missed you Ian & Bart!) ~ having a blast! Several concerts, shooting starts trying to land on planets (Shawn's magnetic dart board turned into a solar system), snacks, and Spencer read "There's No Place Like Space" (Cat & The Hat book) to his audience! A great party all around!

The Rocket & The Moon!

Here's the rocket prep, and final product, complete with a computer panel and controls on the inside! The cake was a moon with Necco waffers for the craters, surrounded by stars in the galaxy!

Birthday Party Prep!

Gavin, Carter & Kerri joined us to make star cookies to go with the moon cake for Spencer's birthday party ... what a blast they had! They even got to drive their matchbox cars in the snow storm ... who knew left over flour could be such fun! And Gavin can even keep up with Spencer's loud and crazy singing, if not even give him a little competition!

Double Trouble

Will this be triple trouble?

A visit to Mimi's

A few cute photos from Mimi's ... Grier's ready to let Spencer mow the whole lawn now ... and yes, Bryce would love to hang off the side for the whole time! A turkey family has been visiting Mimi's patio, right along with the chicken's. The turkey's chicks where hidding in Mimi's herb garden.

More Graduation photos

A few more photos from Spencer's special day ... the fam and the 3 Musketeers ... Declan, Spencer & Gavin.

Kindergarten Graduation

Spencer's class had a cute little "Graduation from Kindergarten" party, including caps and diplomas. A very important day indeed!

Jammin'

Spencer's favorite pastime ... spending time with daddy in the basement!

Spencer's School Birthday Celebration

Spencer got to celebrate his bday early at school ... we brought in cupcakes, he read his "Spencer's Special Day" book that Aunt Mary had written for him, and the kids sang a special bday song for him. Pretty cool!

Happy 65th Grammy!

Grammy's 65th bday party! Jules joined us on the phone while we sang and Grammy opened her new camera. The boys made a nice "healthy" carrot cake, topped with white chocolate chips (Spence still doesn't like chocolate!) and crazy raisins for the #65.
