Getting ready for the hunt!!!

On Sat. we went to the Herriman city Easter Egg Hunt. Spencer was the top of the totum pole of his age bracket. He was in the 0-2 years hunt. NOBODY believed he was 2 years old. They kept asking us how old he was and then they would even go up to him and ask him (as if it'd be a different answer) but no he would say "I'm two". Then he would stand on the outside of the corded off area and proceed to say "C....A...U...T...I...O...N" reading the tape around the area. Then people would say "Yeah right he's 2". That came and bit us didn't it. Anyways, we knew the truth and that's what's important. Next year he's going to be at the bottom of the totum pole with the 3-6 yr hunt. Oh well, he had a blast.

This is Spencer waiting patiently. We arrived about 45 minutes early because last year we were 5 minutes early and the city goofed and instead of going on the blowhorn to announce the hunt is about to start they accidentally set off the sound button and off the kids went, we were rounding the corner to the hunt and we booked it to the area but by the time we got there (2 seconds later) the hunt was over and Spencer went home with an empty basket. It was so sad, so anyways, we didn't want that repeated this year. And instead we were one of the first there.

Lincoln just along for the ride. It was so cold we didn't even get him out of the stroller. What is he going to do with candy? I couldn't believe how many parents were there with one child who were probably under the age of 5 months. It's called go to the store and buy candy for yourselves you greedy people. What are kids under 1 going to do with candy? Share with their parents, I guess.

Spencer loved being early so he can make a plan with what he wanted. The first picture shows Dad and Spence planning their attack. Spencer saw this stuffed snake (it was really nice about 4 feet long) and he said he just had to have it. That's what he was shooting for.

Right before we left for the hunt. Spencer was soooo ready.

So I went to wet Spencer's hair to do it "handsome" as he puts it and I wanted to see how it would do standing straight up. I couldn't believe the curl that his hair has. It has grown out a lot since his last haircut and it just went curly when I started to comb it. He must get it from a specific Uncle (I won't name any names but you know who you are, Lamby). He looked like a character from "Grease" when I got done with him. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Aunt Alisa came over to use Grandma Hale's mixer for cookies. She was making sugar cookies for a Primary activity she was having the next day where the kids will decorated them for Easter. Anyways, Spencer had a hay day with pushing down the cookie cutters with Alisa. Thanks for being such a great Aunt with him, Alisa. Spencer just adores you. You are so great with him. He still to this day talks about making "tookies wit Aunt Alissssssaaaaah". "Oh yes, so fun" he says.

My lil' greaser (minus the grease).

Random pictures

This is when we were at the park in St. George. It was so fun and a little chilly with the wind. The park was up on a hill so we got all the wind. The kids didn't care though, they played the whole time. This is a picture of the grown ups chatting while the kids played. Prenny, Dad, Amy (grown ups) with Tessa and Kelsey (little ones)

Spencer posing for mom.

These puzzles were hand made from Grandpa Gorringe way back when. I played with this when I was little. I can't believe the pieces are all there. Well there is one piece missing from each one, for 40 years old, that's hecka good, I'd say. I hope I can keep all our puzzles together in one piece for that long. (I really doubt it, unless I put them up now) So thanks Grandpa for making such sturdy and great puzzles. Generations later and their still making kids smile.

Grandma Woodbury and Lincoln. We love you, Grandma, you're the greatest!!!!

Day at the park

This is Amy and Jared's little one, Kelsey. I can't believe she just turned 1 last month. She is getting so big.

This is Jon and Prenny's little Tessa. She is so adorable.

The two peas in a pod. Brenna and Spencer just play and play and play. They wear each other out. It's just GREAT!!!

See....inseparable.

Lincoln loved the swing.

Visit to St. George

So recently we has some time off with Jason's work schedule so we decided it was time to see family down in St. George. We went down for just a couple days and every minute was planned while we were there. It was go go go the whole time. We hadn't been there since Christmas so it was much needed. The time went by so fast that we didn't get around to all the family we needed to see. So we apologize to those we didn't and we are so sorry. But if you know how many Bowler's there are down there, you would understand. Both sides of Jason's family are living there so there is A LOT of fam to see.

This was taken out back of Mom and Dad Bowler's home. It is so pretty with all the foliage blooming out there. We are just barely getting Spring blossoms up north.

Spencer and Brenna are soooo cute together. When they get together it is non stop play. They have such a great time together. Spencer just adores his cousins.

Tribute to......well, you know who you are.

So this is the beginning of a long night of owies. It all started with Spencer hurting his arm on well, I have no idea now, but at the time he was really saying it hurt. Then he said he needed a "scooby dooby" for his arm (code for a scooby doo bandaid). He then went into the hall bathroom and said "oh, yes this will work and out came a long ace bandage. Now this made me laugh out loud since this is a family joke with "she who should not be named". I then proceeded to wrap his arm. And VOILA he was cured!!!!! He said "Oh yes, all better" and then I took it off to have him put it away...BUT NO... he had all sorts of owies after that.

Next was his foot (as you can see). "Oh yes, all better now" he says. (If you haven't noticed, everything Spencer says starts with "oh yes", it's a phase) Then on to the next owie.

His knee. He really was enjoying this (as you can see with each picture). And deep down I was laughing with every wrap thanks to the family joke.

Now this one was a new wrap I've never preformed in all my medical training. I learned it pretty quickly. If you can't tell it's a bum ache. He made sure with every wrap I get the right spot. I won't describe the exact spot of this pain. But I got it eventually. The ace bandage is definetely a cure all. It's an amazing little wrap. Our loved one that I will not name had it right all these years. I should've listened years ago. My bad!!!

Oh. you thought that that was it.....oh no!!! I promise there's a lot more where that came from. This poor kid. I had no idea he was in this much pain. I really should have him looked at. Doesn't he look like he's in extreme agony?!!!! "Oh yes"

More of Spencer's tribute

Spencer said he had a bum pain. My bum pain isn't so literal. But he still wanted it wrapped. It really fixed it, according to Spence.

Now he had an arm pain.

Cure for a headache. Now I know where I went wrong all these months of constant headaches. I'll have to try this.

By now you've got the idea of Spencer's antics. He had such a great time with Joni's ace bandage. Thanks Jonsie for being a good sport. It was great for me also because I got to sharpen up on my wrapping skills.

Spencer has a ball with being wrapped. He had every part wrapped by the end of the day.
