Babysitting Saturday

This was the only picture I took on Saturday. The little ones kept me busy babysitting. I am ashamed. I am sure that I had many photo opps and I didn't take them. But here they are in their favorite location, at the computer, where else. Brecklyn is quite good at it, too. I am surprised! And speaking of computers, I finally got a new laptop. I have been using a netbook, but I noticed when I went to Poland that it just didn't have what it takes anymore. slow, slow, and slow. And so I got a new one. Love it, but it was hard to adjust to Windows 8 for me. It uses all those APP things and I couldn't find my way around for a while. Now I have it loaded with my "stuff" and am using it to work on my blog. I had actually had a hard time with my blog lately as my desk-top computer wouldn't let me load pictures on my blog and so I had to use Spencer's and he would always want to get on it when I was on it. So he will be happy that I won't be visiting his computer so much.

Right after or before I took this shot, Brecklyn was watching some music/dancing thing and Grayson was loving it. And as much baby-jabbering that I heard from him, all of a sudden I hear this little voice say as clear as a bell, "That's awesome". I laughed my head off. I even asked Brecklyn if she had said it, although it didn't sound like her at all. Anyways, now my mom will be happy, I finally found a minute to update my blog. Now for the other one, but I am tired and I don't think it will happen tonight!

My Birthday

Ok, so we don't want to be reminded of birthdays as we get older, but never-the-less they are happy occasions when we get to spend time with the family. I kind of like the marzipan torte and it is what I usually have. I love marzipan and I guess I always will. Some things never change...too much, anyway. We went out to dinner with my parents and Jamie's family first and that was fun except that poor Grayson had a fall off the booster chair at the restaurant. Ouch. There always seems to be accidents on my birthday, broken arms and such.

Football 2012

This year Logan started football. I have been pretty amazed at how athletic that little 6 year old is. I had no idea that they even started them that young. They played their final game on Saturday, the coldest day since last winter. I stayed home and babysat Grayson and then a little later also Brecklyn. So I missed the action but not the COLD. I felt badly being at home, but felt better that Jamie was glad that Grayson wasn't getting frozen. The pictures below aren't of the game but after. They lost, but not by much 21-18. So I would say that they did really well. So they came in 2nd place. I would say that was pretty exciting! Here the medal!

He looks mighty happy and even got a Green Bay football! What a lucky little guy.

Snow!

Well On Friday we had the first snow of the season and along with the snow came the COLD! I guess it was bound to happen eventually! Here are some shots as I left work Friday and headed for the bus stop.

My friend in Bountiful said they had a foot of snow. I am glad we didn't. Must have been a northern storm. But we did get lots of cold! I hate the cold!

A Little About Tyson Jacob

Tyson is a happy 9 year old with lots of talents and abilities. He knew the names of all the planets when he was just about 18 months old. He started talking at such an early age it was incredible. He seems to like basketball more than any sport and also enjoys baseball. He will start 4th grade in the fall of 2010. He has already traveled alot with me for his young years, to southern Utah, Texas, Germany and Switzerland. He is a real thinker and enjoys spending time with his grandpa Spencer, shooting, fly tying, golf and fishing.

A Little About Brecklyn Brianne

Brecklyn is the only girl in the family and so she has a special place in my heart. She is a pretty "Tiny Dancer" just like her mom always was. She is starting kindergarten in the fall of 2010 and just can't wait. She loves to go walking with grandma Sonja and never says no when I want to walk just a little farther. She makes friends easily and even makes friends at places such as the McDonald's playground. She has received several trophies at her dance performance competitions where her group seems to always get 1st place.

A Little About Logan Spencer

Logan is going to be in Pre-school in the fall of 2010. He is a very active 4 year boy. He enjoys soccer, just like his dad and basketball, just like his big brother, Ty. He and Ty are not at all alike and look and act totally different. It is hard to believe that they are brothers! Logan loves to play in the sandpile as my blog shows and doesn't think fishing is such a great sport. Afterall, why should it take so long just for one measly little fish? He learned to ride his bicycle at age 3 and loves to be grandpa's little buddy.

A Little About Grayson

He's here, born June 30-, on his great-grandmother's birthday. That makes him super special. 7 lbs. 3 oz. 18 1/2 inches. He's a little guy, blonde and sweet. He is definitely a "Momma's boy" and will only allow others to hold him for a very short time. Then he lets you know he is very unhappy. But I am sure this will change eventually and he will find out other people are fun and interesting too. We love this little guy and look forward to see what he thinks about his very first Christmas!
