birthday boy goes sledding, day 2

guess what we did today....that's right!  we went sledding!

colby got hungry waiting for kashia to pick us up!

 my footprints.  i thought they just looked cool.

 and away they go!

 wipeout!

today spencer and kashia thought of how many different ways they could go down on the sled.  it was quite fun to watch!

 the duhons got to join us today! colby and mackenzie are on the orange sled, and jacob is on the green one.

 rylie and mackenzie

 jacob, kashia and spencer

 um. colby.  you fell off your sled!

colby and mackenzie taking a breather....

 spencer said, "look at me.  i have great balance like those women in africa."

 rylie isn't being pulled because she's hurt.  she's a diva according to her mother!

 more geese!

does it look like the heart is coming out of the snow or going in to the snow?  hmmm....

 what about the smiley face?

i loved this tree against the blue sky.  i want to paint a picture like this. someday.....

now spencer thinks he should be pulled, too!  what does he think this is, his birthday or something?

 watch out mackenzie!

yes, that's me on the sled!  it was fun!!!

today really is spencer's 12th birthday!  after sledding we took him to lunch.  we were supposed to go to owasso or tulsa to go to the olive garden, but the roads are still not that great.  so spencer had to settle for something here, and he chose....golden corral! he'd never even been there, but he wanted to try it!

i kept trying to take his picture all during lunch, but he wouldn't look at me.  it was a challenge.  i told him his eyes looked really awesome with the sunlight coming in from the window and with his blue hoodie, but he wouldn't look up.  

i even tried comparing his eyes to daryl's because spencer definitely got his eyes.  when spencer looked at him, this is what he saw!  psycho!

 this is the best picture i got.  oh, well.

birthday boy

 i sure do love this boy.  it makes me sad to think that in a few short years he'll be grown and gone.  more than half of his time with us is over.  geez, now my eyes are leaking.

quote of the day:  "i sure am glad god gave you to us." ~me to spencer
