Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Daddo!
Happy birthday to you!
Thank you for being the very best Daddo to this whole crew!
Maybe you and GJ should bust out some champagne tonight to celebrate another year!
Or maybe just have some salmon and iced tea! 🙂
We love you, Daddo!
Spencer got to have his birthday party on his actual birthday! Doesn’t get better than that! He had a few friends out to Urban Air and it was Jurassic World themed, of course!
Everyone was excited – especially Spencer!
We had the whole crew there including GJ, Lulu, Granddaddy, and baby Margaret!
Betcha can’t even tell these cupcakes flipped over in the car on the way there! Uh oh!
It didn’t bother the kids one bit! We had the whole place to ourselves which was awesome.
I hope Spencey felt super loved and celebrated by all these sweet friends!
Something tells me he had a GREAT time! ha!
Happy birthday Spencer!
Make a wish!!
We love you!
A Dino-riffic celebration for a fantastic kid!!
Turning SIX is pretty awesome and this kid did it right! The celebration started the day before his birthday with his party with Mrs. Susan! She outdid herself this year with a remote controlled fire breathing dragon!! Whoa!
There were rice krispie treats and pin the tail on the dino! Perfect!
Spencer woke up on Thursday to lots of Jurassic World balloons and a special birthday breakfast!! Happy Birthday Spencey!!
Then it was off to school in his new dino shirt from Mrs. Susan!
I went up and had lunch with him and he took these great dino cookies for all of his class. too cute!
I even got to see Maxwell in the lunchroom too!
This kid had a great day as a new SIX year old!
and his party was still to come! Lots of celebrating!
Spencer is SIX!!!! This lovable, blonde boy with a twinkle in his bright blue eyes is six!

Two years old…
Three years old…
Four years old…
Five years old…
and now SIX!!!
Oh how I love this kid. As I said last year, he’s a happy kid who plays hard, tries hard, and loves hard. He’s growing up so fast and turning into his own little person. He still tries to be just like Maxwell (often to Maxwell’s chagrin) but also relishes his role as big brother to Samantha. Sure, he can give her a good brotherly knockout now and then but, more often, he’s the sweetest to her trying to help her do something, keep her safe, and play games together. He and Maxwell are the best of friends and then mortal enemies that will try to fight to the death. Ha! Seriously, they fight plenty but also stick up for each other, play well together, and enjoy each other.
We just had Spencer’s teacher conference this week and he got a glowing report. His right on track with his reading, doing great in math, and she said his handwriting and artistic abilities are very impressive! He’s a smart kid and he loves learning. He’s very motivated right now to do well ins school, read at home before bed, and see what all he can do.
He’s majorly into Jurassic World and dinosaurs right now. Both boys still love Alvin and the Chipmunks and this show called Big City Greens. Nerf guns are are still tops along with anything “remote controlled” He’s probably happiest with some kind of ball in his hand – well, that or the iPad! ha! This kid LOVES his tv and iPad. I think his favorite game right now is War Robots and he’s just waiting for the day that he can get Fortnite like Maxwell. He killed it at baseball this fall and is loving flag football.
The other thing about him? He loves to sleep…and sleep some more! We have to wake him up for school just about every day. He also loves to dance and be silly! Flossing every day!
He might be six but his little speech impediment keeps him sounding like my baby just a bit. He’s gotten better with his L sounds but that Th sound is tricky. One, two, free, four! 🙂 Also, in case you were wondering, he still has the greatest laugh around!

Happy SIXTH birthday, Spencer!!
Well, we definitely got fancy and threw a super fun party to celebrate FORTY! Woohoo! I had been planning this party in my head for over a year and it all went off even better than I could have hoped. The weather ended up being perfection that night and it all added up to a fantastic celebration! I started the day getting my hair did and, I must say, it was looking pretty good!
Then we got the house party ready! We’ve gotten so many projects done over the past several weeks and the house was basically as clean as it’s ever going to be with flowers all around. I’ll share house pics tomorrow!
We were ready for fun and the kids were ready for a fun sleepover at our new neighbor’s house – GJ and Daddo!
One of my besties, Lyndsay, even came in from Nashville for the party!
The party was catered by Shindigs and they were outstanding. The food was insane and the drinks were never empty. I also hired a magician to come do tricks all night for small groups. He was unbelievable!
It really was a special night and I felt so loved that so many people took time out of their lives (and got a babysitter!) to come and celebrate me. I don’t take that lightly and am so appreciative for all the great friends and family in my life.
I celebrated FORTY the way I wanted – with a big ole party full of friends! It truly does not get better than that!! As I said before blowing out my candles, Cheers to a new decade!!
