Photos

We visited the photographer to get Campbell's 3 month shots and Spen's 2 year photos done. It was quite an adventure. Spencer of course thought he should run the show and my smiley Campbell wrinkled his brow and glared at the lady like WHAT'S WITH YOU CRAZY LADY???? We ended up with a few good ones....enough for me! :)


I think Campbell was terrified he was going to get throw out of the chair! Notice Spen's lips....I'm sure he was mid sentence attempting to direct the photographer.

Fun with TP!

It got a little too quite in the house the other day. I was really enjoying the peace, but knew something had to be up. And look what I found as I stepped around the corner.......CAUGHT RED HANDED! Look at that face. I think he was just waiting to see what I was going to say. I just stood there and then he said, "Spencer's fixing it up." I'm not sure if he was letting me know that he was going to clean it up or if he was "fixing" up my entry hall with a TP themed decor. Likely it is the later of the two because he attempted to manipulate his Daddy into cleaning it all up.
I really hate that I've lost about 3 rolls of my Charmin to Spencer's decorating. However, it does entertain him for quite sometime. Guess a few rolls is worth the break. Betsy, thanks for the suggestion of buying a few rolls of that cheap TP for the next time he decides to TP my house!

Spencer's TWO!!

Two years ago we welcomed Spencer Arrington Seyb into the world at 10:25 am in Franklin, TN.


(Spencer at 4 weeks old)

He weighed a big ole 8 pounds, 14 ounces and was 21 inches long. He was such an easy pregnancy, labor and birth. Once he entered the world "easy" has never been a word used to describe him! :) He is a very smart, particular, stubborn and sparkly kid. And he has been that way since Sept 9 of 2006!

He's been so excited about his party. The day before his big day he sat down at the little kids table and told me that he was going to just sit and wait on the party! He keeps me laughing! Spencer singing "Happy Birthday to Spencer"

In some ways he seems so much older and wiser than a two year old. Jake and I have to remind ourselves sometimes when Spen gets whiny that he IS just turning two. He is just so smart and vocal it's like having a big kid around. If we could just rid him of his diaper he may really fool us with his age! :) Just the other day I was asked our address and Spencer told the lady himself!!


We had a fun party for him over the weekend. We had a birthday painting party. The kids had so much fun painting pictures and making a mess. I think Spencer's favorite part was when we all sang happy birthday to him. He was so proud!

Before the festivities began!

Time for fun!





YUMMMMM!

Today for his big #2 birthday we went to visit Daddy at work. Spen loves to go to his office. We hung out a little around the office and then enjoyed a lunch out with Daddy. On the ride downtown I was talking to Spencer about the day he was born. His comment, "Spencer pushed the button in Mama's belly and then popped out and then the doctor hold Spencer." He's pretty much got it. If only if were as simple as he made it sound we Mama's would all be so grateful!!

Spencer loves "helping" Daddy at work. Notice he has his very on hard hat!

Before we headed downtown to see Daddy, Spencer got to do whatever he wanted while I got us ready. His choice.....drawing on his belly!!

We celebrated again at diner with a few more gifts and of course MORE cake!!!

He sang to himself all day long!! He's so proud to be TWO!!

WE LOVE YOU SPENCER!!!

I couldn't post without adding a pic of our youngest little man. Campbell enjoyed the party too! He got passed around from person to person and didn't mind it a bit.

Family

We have been so excited that most of our immediate family has gotten to come visit us here in Colorado (we have missed seeing you, Aunt Kate. Look forward to seeing you in Nov!) .Nothing is better than family!! Thank the Lord for them too. I don't know what we would have done this summer without Bevie and Oma. I truly owe them big! There's really no way to pay them back for giving up their summers to take care of me and the three men in this house. But, as a mama I know they wouldn't have it any other way. So, Oma and Bevie....as a pay back I promise to be as good of a Mama to my kiddos has you both continue to be to yours. Oh, and yes, Jake and I will take care of you in your olden days. BUT, we don't plan on that for a L-O-N-G TIME so keep acting and looking young please! :)

Here are some shots from this summer. From May to August. Thanks for coming yall!!

Katie with Campbell August 2008. Katie we hope next visit it won't rain all the time!

My boys love Betsy! I think because she looks and sounds so much like me. We were riding home from picking her up at the airport and Spencer was gazing at her and said, "Betsy hold Spencer when we get home." He would do anything for her. I really need her to move in with me!!!! :)

Bevie and Papa with the boys. August 2008. Amazingly Spen was sitting for a photo, but it was short lived!!!
