Sunday Spencers Series

is back!!!! With two very special guest appearances.
Thanks for the invite Ryan!

You know you have kids when....

You find the following randomness about your house:
A dish towel in the fridge, which is apparently where all the cool kids hang out as both girls are constantly in and out of it fighting for the string cheese.
A lunch sack containing a can of Cream of Chicken and three packets of popcorn. "I made lunch for my dolls mom" - Ryan
Seriously girls? Had to choose the red marker for your latest drawing escapades...
You keep life entertaining, that's for sure.

Howdy Cowboy!

So dad went on Spring Break 2011 a work trip two weeks ago and brought back some lovely, child friendly Bud Light paraphernalia. The fan favorite? This guy....
Belly showing, fly down, seriously could she be any classier people?
But she is so darn cute, I could eat that little cowgirl for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Giving Thanks....via a 3 year old

Perhaps I missed the mark on my 'thankful' lesson with Ryan. As we put together our Thanksgiving tree and I asked her to list some things/people she was grateful for, the girl opted for slightly more materialistic items.....
Candy
Popsicles
Boxes
Tape
Soccer Balls
I for one am thankful for these little hellions.....and tape too, because let's face it, life would really blow without some scotch tape.
Raise your hand if you're as pumped as I am that radio stations are now playing Christmas music!

Houston, we have a winner....

Finally.  FINALLY a restaurant in which we dare take Reese and she actually sit still the entire meal.
Thank you Carl.
Not to be confused with Carls Jr. which is where I thought Grant was taking me on one of our first dates when he said 'I've got a special little burger place to take you to'....Picture me sitting there thinking 'seriously Carls Jr., it's special alright'.  Actually though, I liked him...a lot, so I thought even Carls Jr. would have been cute.
Carls Drive-In.  Tiny little Carls.  With the best darn slider burgers around.
And even better, only counter seats which proved to be key to keeping the Reesers entertained - she was mesmerized by the man grilling the meat.
Now that we have unearthed the secret, we will only be eating at Carls and possibly Hibachi Steakhouses from now on....

Ryan. Times ten.

Sometimes there are no words to describe her personality....Seeing is believing. I couldn't love her more. And clearly, she couldn't love herself more either.
Special thanks to savvy Grandma for nabbing some after-Halloween clearance costumes as dress-up options for Ryan....she was in heaven. "Mom, it's perfect for practicing my ballet"
Happy Friday!

How adorable is the addition of the whicker chair?  Taking the cheese up a notch but with oh-so-adorable results.
