For the love of WOODY!

To say Spencer loves Toy Story is a complete understatement.  Toy Story 3 hasn't left the DVD player in the car in months.  Little does he know we're going to rotate it out before we venture out on vacation in 4 days...thank goodness for headphones, huh?

Spencer has wanted the Woody doll for a long time and his Gram & PaPaw gave it to him for his birthday.  Woody goes EVERYWHERE with us now as you can see...

10 minutes after he got Woody at his birthday party...couldn't wait to open it at home.  Took him out to eat his very first meal!


Even Woody gets thirsty


Night, night Woody


 

And this is my favorite...Spencer insisted on us putting his name on Woody's boot just like Andy did in the movie.  And of course we obliged! :)

And he now wants the Jessie doll (that's just like the Woody doll) just as bad.  One would think, "That's a GIRL doll and not for a boy."  We just don't think so.  He loves all the characters in the movie and I can see Jessie making an appearance into our family at some point.  ;)

Fun Weekend

I was in Irving all week for a LTF conference and Rick & Spencer flew in Thursday night.  We then drove to Rick's mom's when I got out of the conference on Friday and spent the weekend there. 

I do travel some throughout the year and people always ask me, "How does Rick handle that?"  It's almost like men can't handle children without their mom there.  Odd I tell you.  Rick is fabulous and I never worry about a thing (another thing I get asked).  However, I do lay all of Spencer's clothes out before I leave. ;)  One of my favorite things that Rick does when I'm gone is send me countless pictures of Spencer.  It sure warms my heart.  This was the first time Spencer had flown on an airplane (that he could remember...he flew at 3 months old), so excitement was building all week.  He LOVED it!

1.  Glow sticks in the bathtub
2.  Our friends dropped off a birthday present
3.  Having breakfast with Daddy at Chick Fil A before school
4.  Eating a sandwich in the airport
5.  Checking things out
6.  Playing with Dad's Nook on the plane


While they were waiting on me to get out of my conference on Friday, they needed something to do for about 3 hours.  Legoland was very close and thought they would just go there.  Uh no.  They spent TWO AND A HALF HOURS in Toys R Us RIDING BIKES!  I mean, hilairous!  Spencer is getting a bike this week for his birthday and so Rick let him try it out.  Thank goodness they didn't get kicked out!

1. Eating breakfast on Friday at his favorite place, Chick Fil A
2. Sliding at Chick Fil A
3. The fountains outside our hotel
4.  "Driving" at Toys R Us
5.  Oh Angry Birds...
6.  Let's hope he is always in the driver seat of the police vehicle
7. Ready to ride!
8.  Probably my favorite one of them all...he's the black speck at the end about to take off on the bike.  Did you notice they are in the BABY section of Toys R Us.  Sure the employees loved that one.
9.  Tony Hawk :)


We had a great time at Rick's mom's and we got to spend Spencer's birthday there.  I didn't take near enough picutres though.  Oh well, we're going back in 3 weeks.  Excuse the fact that everyone looks like they have a serious spray tan.  I couldn't figure out why my phone was doing that and finally looked at the settings and the contrast was set as high as it would go.  I'm pretty sure a certain 4 year old can be held responsible for that one.  ;)
1.  Jean & Spencer ready to go out for Spencer's birthday dinner.
2.  Birthday breakfast - eating the best fried pies on the PLANET!
3.  Handsome!

And this is most definetly one of my favorite pictures EVER!  Spencer is so blessed to have such a wonderful aunt and uncle!!


We had such a great time and will be going back in 3 weeks!
