Spencer's 6th Birthday

Today Spencer celebrated his 6th birthday. I can't believe that he has been entertaining us for 6 years already, time sure does fly.

He started his morning with a call from Leslie, then we were off to school where he was on the morning show. {Sorry but all my pictures are so random and out of order.}

Then Sawyer and I went back to school at 12:30 for cupcakes and snacks with the class. All the kids told me, "Spencer's mom, the cupcakes are delicious." This is my new name at school. I think it's so cute. Sawyer really enjoyed the kids and the attention, it you can't tell by the picture.

After school, we were off to build a bear. We had a blast. Spencer was really torn between a bear and a dog, of course, he chose the dog. Sawyer got a turtle. The funniest part was when Spencer stepped on the release pedal and shot stuffing everywhere. We all got a kick out of that! After a quick bite to eat in the Food Court and a ride on the merry go round, we returned home for some yumm-o cookie cake. A special thanks to Jenny!! Spencer then opened his gifts from us and of course a gift from G-Ma Sandra and G-dad Jerry...HEELEY'S!! Wendy and the kids came by and so did Anthony, Ka-trixie & Brandon! The actual party is this weekend, but we always give our gifts before or after the party, so he knows what we give him. This year we let him do his own shopping. He picked out a $1 slinky and a lightning mcqueen car and said, "OK mom, that's enough. So after some more time looking around I convinced him to get a few more things. I just thought that was so sweet that all he wanted was something small. He really is LOW maintenance {for now}. He finds joy in the most simple things.

We are so blessed to have him in our life. He has really played a MAJOR role in helping Tim & I get through the past 2 years without Sullivan. Althought no one or nothing will ever take his place, having Spencer and now Sawyer, our lives seem a little more bearable!!!
