New puppy

Meet Frankenpup  Lucy. Jon insisted on getting her even though I am 3 weeks away from having a baby.  I thought she was the ugliest dog I'd ever seen! My coworker said she looks like a burn victim!  She has since grown on me & maybe even more when she gets house trained. Spenser named her Lucy. I call her Lucy Lu & Jon calls her Lulu.

He's an ar- tist!

Lane had somehow gotten a hold of a green sharpie & colored the wall as well as himself. Since then, there have been many other wall drawings by our little artist.  The walls need repainted & we need new carpet in the house as well (due to kids & dogs) but I refuse to do it until all the kids are at least 10 as there is just no point to do it any sooner as we'll only have to redo it.

1st lost tooth!

Today, Spenser's first loose tooth came out. He wiggled it out himself. He didn't scream or cry either, he had been waiting for 10 days for it to fall out. When I was a kid, we got a quarter per tooth. I know nowadays kids are getting either $5 or $20 a tooth!  We're too poor (frugal) for that so our kids get small toys or goodies (stickers, smal lego's, playdoh, etc) from the Tooth Fairy.

It's a sceam

I found this seashell at the beach this month at Wrightsville. It looks just like the Scream movie mask doesn't it!

Trip to zoo

Today we went to the NC zoo. We went with Gabby of course, and my brother Jordy. Since I was pregnant & it was hot, my 2 favorite things were a geyser that sprayed water (although it smelled like a sewer), and a spray tent. You'll see the greatest photo ever below, when Spenser made friends with a gorilla.

Spenser's 6th birthday

Spenser's birthday party was today which is also his actual birthday June 28! This year's theme was dinosaurs!  He's been really into them this year since learning about them in school. For the "signature" favors I had a dinosaur sticker, a plastic dino, a dino crayon & a dino egg with a baby dino inside.  We also had a pinata this year (first one for us) that was a dino & the kids got candy from it to fill their dino goody bags!  Spenser got everything he asked for so it was a wonderful party. Happy 6th birthday my most precious first born. We love you so much!

Spenser's last tee ball game

Today was Spenser's last tee ball game. He has come a long way & we're so proud of him. After the game, they got their trophies. We also gave the coaches thank you gifts. When we got home though, Spenser was carrying his things into the house, trophy included & he dropped the trophy on the kitchen floor breaking it in half!  Of course!  I can get him another one but out of my pocket. Jon thinks it can be glued but will have to be put on a high shelf afterwards so it won't come undone.  Anyhow, a great season for Spenser's very first sport!
