Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
WHAT?! It’s Daddo’s birthday??!!!! I’m so excited!!
What do you mean I don’t get to see him today? 🙁
Well, good thing I colored him this fantastic picture…
and so glad Spencer worked so hard on this picture for him…
and Maxwell made him a Millennium Falcon!
Happy Birthday Daddo!! Hope you have a zip-a-dee-doo-da kind of day! We love you!
Also, please go back and see the birthday cuteness from 2012 and 2011!
For Robert’s big birthday this year, I planned something that actually turned out to be pretty great, if I do say so myself! We went out to Pursell Farms with Ronnie, Jenny, Mary Beth and Holland for some golf (for the boys), spa (for the girls), and shooting (for all!). It really was a fun trip and, coupled with a blowout win for AL over TN and it was the perfect getaway for the birthday boy!
It was a bluebird day and the guys had a fun (albeit slow!) game of golf while the girls got a massage…
and then we headed to our awesome cabin to watch the game and hang out…
and then into our golf carts to head up to the clubhouse for dinner!
The next morning, we all went out to do 12 rounds of clay shooting. The guys LOVED it! Jenny had to leave a bit early so passed on the shooting but MB and I had gave it a go. Mary Beth is a sharpshooter! Me? Not so much. I did hit 6 clays though…out of 100. ha!
Regardless of anyone’s score at the end, we all had a really fun time. Thankfully, Susan was keeping the crew safe and sound back at home so we didn’t worry about them one bit.
It was a very special trip for a very special birthday for a very special person!
We love you Robert!
We obviously already had Spencer’s big birthday party (Hulk Smash!) but had to celebrate him again on his actual birthday!
He took some awesome cookies to school the day before his birthday… (not made by me!)
and had a breakfast fit for a 4 year old on his big day! Chocolate sprinkle doughnuts!
Baby wanted it to be her birthday!
Don’t worry though, she got a doughnut too! 🙂
That night, Spencer requested pizza for dinner (the big triangle kind, not the square kind!) so, pizza it was followed by a cake decorated by the birthday boy himself!
Cake was, of course, followed by a few presents including his favorite, Ton Ton, one of the Dinotrux! We were so happy to have GJ and Daddo in town to help celebrate!
It was a very happy birthday for my favorite 4 year old buddy!
We love you Spencey!
Spencer is FOUR!! My sweet, lovable, happy little guy is four years old.
Newborn…
One year old…
Two years old…
Three years old…
and now FOUR!
This little boy is ALL BOY. He loves to wrestle with Maxwell, play in the dirt, roughhouse with his friends at school, and laugh…oh how he loves to laugh! And it’s possibly the greatest laugh ever heard. He can be the absolute sweetest when he snuggles up with me and asks for a bear hug and a tickle kiss at night. He can also be the most stubborn and frustrating little boy in the world who can throw some pretty epic tantrums. But, he’s getting better about that and he always comes around and says “I sorry.” His imagination is working overtime and I get to hear some funny and interesting stories he makes up from time to time. He’s a happy kid who plays hard, tries hard, and loves hard.
This picture makes me laugh. He was much more interested in going to “make a road” in the dirt than he was in taking pictures! 🙂
He’s got friends at school that he talks about – Sebastian, Stephen, Wade, and Christopher – but his favorite friend is (and I think will always be) Maxwell. They’ve gotten into Star Wars (or Star Burst as he calls it!) and Spencer loves Darth Vader. He also loves to Hulk Smash! He’s happiest when he’s playing and running around outside…or maybe when he’s on the iPad! ha! He and Samantha are like two peas in a pod (and look alike too!) and no one makes Baby laugh harder than Mr. Spencer! 🙂
I sure do love this little boy. I can still see the final traces of baby left in him and I’m trying to soak them up because I know they’ll go quickly. I can’t wait to see the awesome, fun kid he turns into this year.

Happy, happy 4th birthday to sweet, smiling Spencer!! My favorite 4 year old in all the world!
We love you sooooo much!
On Saturday we celebrated our very favorite almost 4 year old!
Spencer’s birthday isn’t until the 18th but, October is so busy that the 8th ended up being the best day for his Incredible Hulk party. We followed our recent birthday party formula – balloons and bounce house in the backyard with doughnuts and plenty of friends and family! It was the best way to celebrate our happy little guy!
Ummm…please look at Baby’s mean face here! ha!
The kids had a blast in the cool bounce house which had a ball pit and a slide inside! They also loved Hulk Smashing each other with the Hulk hands! As always, the sand table was a huge hit. And, thanks to GJ, everyone got to take home their very own Hulk mask! We had a happy birthday boy and happy party goers for sure!
We brought out Spencer’s doughnut cake and sang to him and then he blew and blew and blew on those candles but just couldn’t get them out! We should have lifted him up a bit but then Maxwell came to the rescue which I’m not so sure if Spencer appreciated or not! I have to share all these pictures because the expressions on both Spencer and Maxwell’s faces are just too good….
Haha! Everyone needs a little help sometimes!
It was a fantastic morning celebrating our very own Incredible Spencer!
We love you sweet Spencey!! Cheers to FOUR!
