It's Spencer's 9th Birthday, and so I had to go back through some pictures to remember all of the joy he has brought to our family. Hope you don't mind all the pictures, but it gives you the perfect idea of what Spencer's personality is like.
The day Spencer was born, one big boy, 9lbs. 2oz.
I loved cuddling my little boy.
His first birthday!
Second birthday, and loving The Wiggles at their concert.
His third birthday, where he wanted the Care Bear cake!!! He is such a sweetheart!
Moved to Congo when he was three, he looks so young here!
I love this kid!!!!!
Being surprised at his fourth birthday.
He is also one very well traveled kid, here we are at Versailles. He has visited I think 9 countries now.
Spencer loves to just have fun, in fact, that is his goal every day to have fun!
Turning five and starting Kindergarten!!!!
Living in Zimbabwe and we are so happy.
He is one active kid too, he loves to play.
Holding Grandma's hand, see so sweet.
He is always willing to try anything, even riding elephants and standing next to them at six years old.
I know, I know. I love this face too!
On top of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa.
Birthday number 7!!!
Eighth birthday and being baptized, and gaining a baby brother!
Spencer is the best big brother. Always trying to make Preston smile (which sometimes he's the only one who can), and always trying to teach him how to play with toys and....HAVE FUN!!! I love these sweet moments between them.
Silly Spencer.
In New York and learning so much.
Being crazy silly like his dad at Ripley's Believe It or Not.
He was able to start up Scouts and he loves it.
These two are so connected and thankfully Spencer makes sure to always hold, hug and kiss on Preston everyday.
Being cool (now that he's older) with Goofy.
Spencer is one amazing kid. He has grown up way too fast, but has become a really good kid. His stats at 9 are 68 lbs. and 4 ft. 7inches tall (that is less than one foot from mom's height?!!?). He loves video games, is really smart in math, and gets puzzles like no other. He is always looking for fun things to do, and is super friendly with anyone, one good thing about moving around so much, he will always have friends wherever he goes. He is truly a good kid too, very honest, and doesn't ever want to hurt anyones feelings. I can't believe how lucky we are that we have this great kid in our lives. We love him so much!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPENCER!!!!
