Way Over Due!

This is post is WAY over due. I want to keep this blog as a family journal - since I don't keep a personal one and Spencers journaling includes more about his favorite sports teams and their current status than it does about our little family. I have a lot to catch up on, So forgive this LONG post filled with lot's of pictures and silly stories - but hey this is for our record - not necessarily your entertainment :)

We have stayed busy over the last few months. We've been to a few BYU games - Spencers obsession for Jimmer has grown dramatically! For the record he's obsessed over the phenom for YEARS! Had Quinn not been a girl Spencer wanted to name our next child Jimmer. Thank GOODNESS she's a girl, that was a battle I was afraid I was going to lose. Here's Quinn headed to her first BYU game - I had to make her a little onesie so she fit in.



And this is a small section of the shrine to the BYU phenom in our storage room. When Spencer came to me with the camera and he was in his hat and Blake was in his Jimmer jersey asking me to take a picture of them in front of his life size cut out taped in our basement I knew that ONE of us might need therapy......and as the season has rolled on it might be me!


We hope that they can pull out a win tonight and make it to the elite 8! This has been a big year for Spencer's teams. Here we are all decked out for the Superbowl. Too bad that season ended with out the win!

We haven't been ALL sports around here, we've had some other exciting events. We blessed Quinn in our home so Spencer's parents could be a part of it Via Skype in Turkey. My good friend took some pics of Quinn in her blessing dress, here are some of the favorites.


!

And Blake looked like a teenager that day - - -when did he get SO grown up? He now insists on wearing ties to church every Sunday. Love it

Spencer gave Quinn a beautiful blessing and we were so happy to have our family with us that day.

We have noticed a serious resemblance between Quinn and Blake as she get's older. No doubt they are related..... take a look



This is at 2 months for each of them.
And here's more current for Quinn

And Blake was 5 months here

These two LOVE each other so much. It makes me happy every time they look at each other and just smile, nothing needs to be said they just are happy to be together again!


I love how they both change so much everyday.

Quinn is like super woman and has been sitting up on her own since 3 months! It freaks me out, I don't like when she does it, makes ME want to cry

I think she's going to start walking anyday!

I continue to laugh at the things Blake says on a daily basis. Here are some recent favorites. Last week I was getting ready in my bathroom and I could hear him playing alone. As he was running around my room he said,

"I'm a secret Asian and I'm looking for Doll Vader, have you seen him?"
Translation: He's a secret aGent and he's looking for Darth Vader :)

After Quinn was born I was released from the YW presidency and I looked forward to the breezy calling they were sure to give a new mom...... a few short weeks later they put me in the Primary presidency. The first week I was in there I was a little anxious to see how Blake would do with me in there. Turns out he could careless, but I get the treat of hearing some of his answers during sharing time. The first week the teacher showed a picture of Moroni burying the bass plates and she asked who is this?
Blake yells out, "That's Lehi, but where's his family?!"
Close buddy, close :)
His newest thing is being shirtless ALL the TIME! Everyday he complains of being too hot, and there goes his shirt. I'm sure it's going to be tough to keep him clothed when it really is hot - not 30 degress outside. I think It's because he like's to show his guns.


We are loving this stage of life for both kids - can't get enough of 'em! Life is Good!
