Finally Some Pictures To Look At

I'm finally able to post some pictures. It has been a while so I'm going to play catch up with some photos.

We went to Thanksgiving Point with some friends to watch the 4th of July fireworks. Clay was not to sure about the loud sounds, but he made it through with out a melt down.
Clay loves it when Daddy gives him a sip of his Slurpee

It was Clay's real first time at the Orem pool and he easily could have stayed there all day. Our good friend Jorrel bought him the life jacket so Clay could go down the water slide. We love Jorrel, he is a good Uncle.

Clay loved the slide...well all except the part when he drop off into the water.

He had fun playing in the kiddie area.

We went to the zoo with his cousins. He loved playing in the play area.

He is such a cute little boy, what would we do with out him?

He loves to go to the park and play in the coin ponds and run around in the grass while Daddy is chasing him.

One Long Update

Okay, so I know that it has been a long time since I have blogged. We had a rough time with computers lately and didn't have one for a while, but at last we bought a laptop and I'm back online. Its pretty sad to think how much I need this electronic essential in my life. I could do with out TV easily as long as I have my Internet. Anyways I thought I would take the time to update you with what is going on in our little family.

First and far most...Clay is FINALLY WALKING!!!! YESSSS!!! No more carrying him into stores or unable to use restrooms because I couldn't let him sit down on the most disgusting floors anywhere. After 14 months of of no walking we decided that he was going to walk everywhere we go with holding on to our hands, no more carrying him. After about 1 week of that he finally decided that is WAS faster to walk than to crawl. So now he is confident in his walking, he is even dancing and trying to run which causes many tumbles. He is tough though. You won't see him without a ball in each hand or hear silence from his mouth. We have a talker on our hands and right know it is cute because its just gibberish, but I'm afraid what is going to happen when its none stop words.

Spencer decided to go back to school and get a 2nd bachelors in Accounting. We are really excited about, but it will be hard not seeing him really during the week with night school. Luckily his job will pay for his schooling so thats one more debt we are without.

As for me, my business is growing after 2 months. We doubled our orders last month so that was great. We hope to keep growing and get more customers as the summer months come to an end.

We have a couple of fun things coming up for us. My family reunion is in August, Spencer's parents are coming up for education week, Clay and I are going to St. Louis for Dorians baptism, and we are going to Disneyland in October.

I'm sorry but I can't put pictures on this post because Clay chewed up the adapter that copies pictures onto the computer, so I have to go buy another one. So...until than.

Oh P.S. Clay ate his first bug the other day. I think it was a potato bug, well from what I could make out of what was left. Yeah he gave me a chewed up shell. Protein Right.

The Bubble Fort

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who grew up in California, a tropical paradise. He loved living there, but there was one thing that he could do without, the extremely hot weather during the summer. Even though it cooled off at night he still couldn't sleep because he was so hot. So he came up with an idea. It consist of a fan with a sheet connected to it, making a wind tunnel. All through his years he has perfected this technique and called it the BUBBLE FORT.

Now that he is all grown up and has a child of his own, he has been waiting for the right moment to introduce this great technique of his on how to keep cool through the night. His good wife helped him build this large fort so he and his son could play in it and maybe take a nap. His son loved playing in it, unfortunately he was to excited to take a nap.

That night the man was so happy that he was able to experience this with his son and was so excited to bring back the BUBBLE FORT into his life that he begged his wife to sleep in it with him for that night. His good wife agreed to try it out even though she new that because of the fans blowing in her face and her hair going everywhere that she would not beable to get a good nights rest. As they laid there together she realized that is was actually kind of fun, like they were camping out in a tent, which would probably be the closest thing to camping that they will ever have (the man doesn't like camping unless its by the beach).

By the end of the night, she had seen that little boy inside her husband and was glad to have shared these fun memories with him and their son.

Will she sleep in the BUBBLE FORT tonight? We shall see...


The End.

Delicious Stawberries

We have lived in our place for a little over a year now and the day we moved in my dad noticed that there were strawberry plants in front of our sliding door. I never really paid much attention to them last summer, but this summer I think it is the coolest thing. What a bonus to have a bunch of little strawberries growing right under our noses. I would love to have a garden but because we live in a condo that really isn't possible, so to have this is as good as it gets for me.

I savored this delicious little strawberry yesterday and let me tell you it was divine. I can't wait for the rest of them to ripen up, so we can have strawberry crepes with whip cream and brown sugar. MMMMM... my mouth is already salivating.

Such A Growing Boy

I can't get enough of our cute little man. He is certainly has kept us busy. He isn't walking yet which has been hard on Spencer and I. He is almost 15 months and so big, so it gets really tiring holding him... at least I'm getting my weight training in, right?

He is so smart and independent already. He will not let me feed him anymore with a spoon or fork, he has to do it himself. He is getting pretty good at it, most of is gets in his mouth now depending on the food, though. Needless to say he is always messy after meals.

He loves to play with balls, its his favorite toy right know. He would play with them for hours if I let him. Of course he loves the out doors, so we are outside a lot these days. Luckily we have a pool to go play in.

He says quite a few words now like dog, ball, bath, go, tree, car, hi, Jesus, no and don't. He also does some animal sounds, just the basic easy ones. We have been working on saying please and thank you, he doesn't quite get it though.

So that is a little update on Clay. Here are a few fun pictures I took.

Clay really likes to go jogging with his mommy in the jogger, of course is doesn't sit in the basket though.

My parents have this big bay window in front and he was watching Spencer and Grandpa put a freezer in the truck. Well I should say that he more like intructing them how to do it, he was talking, pointing and waving, we could hear him outside. It was cute.

I put him in his PJ's last night and I honestly didn't think they were tight on him. When I went to get him in the morning his poor little toes were poking out. Has his feet really grown that much?
