All About Spencer



Spencer got a splinter under his toe nail that would not come out for 2 days. Finally I took him to the doctor, who numbed his toe and ripped off part of his toe nail to remove the sliver. It looked awful when it happened; so much blood, but when we took the bandage off a few days it only looked like a hangnail was removed. You could hardly tell there was some nail missing. Kids heal fast and it only took a day before Spencer was running around again.



Spencer turned 8 on October 7. I took the kids to the science and nature museum during the day and we had homemade pizza for dinner: two chicken alfredo deep dish and one half & half pepperoni and Hawaiian. Nathan had been sleeping all day from working the night before so we woke him up and had a nice early dinner and family party for Spencer. It was a great day.


Spencer got scriptures, a journal, a cub scout shirt and book, and one toy: a sling shot.


None of my children have ever been into dinosaurs before so I was surprised when Spencer wanted to draw dinos on his cake.





On October 20 Nathan baptized Spencer. He was so excited for this day and his only regret was that he still hadn't lost his two front teeth. Although Madalyn had lost hers when she was 6, Kylie had lost hers just before her baptism so Spencer was hoping for the same. He's the only 8 year old we know who hasn't lost his front teeth yet. Maybe for Christmas.


My parents flew in from California and we had a great week with them.

I love that picture of Nathan and Spencer. Spencer's looking tall and lanky like his daddy. :)
