The Ride

Fun Pictures

Zoo

So we went to the Zoo this weekend. Audrey had the greatest time. She was laughing and laughing with her freaky laugh. I'm serious it's strange. She sounds like a little devil child. I'll try to get video of it some time.



There were only a few animals that really excited her. All the big cats and then the red panda. I guess some funny incident happened while Audrey was looking at the red panda. I'll try to explain it the best i can but i wasn't around for it. there wasn't enough room so i sat down on a bench a little ways away and didn't see it.

Isn't he cute? ( I did not take that picture)

The red panda was inside it's cage and Audrey had her head pressed up against the glass and was laughing the devil laugh as it walked around. As she was doing this a little boy not much older, maybe a year or so, looked at her and said "SHHHHH! this is not a game." (I guarantee that little guy has been told that a million times.) and then he proceeded to blow air on her. No one knows for certain why. The air was what caught Audrey's attention and she turned around and said "Hi" in her little high pitched voice. Apparently it was pretty funny. I think if you want the real story and not the readers digest you would have to ask Patrick or Michelle to re tell the story. I guarantee Michelle's story would be better. Sorry Patrick.



There was one big cat, i think it was a leopard, that was taking a nap right next to the glass window. Audrey was going bonkers running away from the cat and then back and yelling "Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!" when there was a crowd looking at the cat she would find a way to push herself to the front and look at the cat. It was really cute. She loves her kitties and will do anything and everything to get near them.

The other thing that Audrey loved was the carousel and the train ride. Grandma took her on both. She had a lot of fun.

It was a good day and we all had a really fun time. Although we were super tired when we got home. I think we'll have to go a few more times next summer.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey



by the way, Dan and Michelle are crazy. This is the picture they leave on the camera every time they hold it for a few minutes.

Cute Outfit

Arlene and J.R. sent Audrey the cutest outfit. Thank you so much. I thought that i had a picture of her in it. I must have thought I took the picture even though i didn't. Next time she wears it I'll throw the picture up.

30 Rock Weird Secrets and Stuff

All this confessing makes me think of this scene from 30 rock



Enjoy

It's Official

The Hamsters name is Remy.

I really like the name and love the movie. I think it was one of the best movies that came out last year. (I finally saw No Country for Old Men. hated it! That's a little harsh....I liked it, I never Loved it, till the end. Then i Hated it. I could go on forever about that. But I won't just to save you.)

So I loved Stephanie's confessions post and it has inspired me to make some confessions of my own. That will come in a little while. I can't spill all the beans about how crazy i am now.

But one confession i do have. and I'm sure there are plenty of people who will Booooo this but...I like Family Guy. (However they do give the Griffin's a bad name.) I was watching an episode the other day and came across this clip and I just thought it was too funny not to share considering the present we just got. I hope you like it.



Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

New Websites

I just want to let you know i have two new family sites.

Dad and Veniece's Site

jerrygriffinfamily.blogspot.com

and

Jen and Jasons's site (Gavin is so cute.)

I'm not very good at keeping a journal but this is a great way for me to remember things and it's a great way for me to find out what is going on with others. I think Dad and Veniece are really going to love it and I guarantee jenny is going to love it when Gavin starts doing more and more things and she can blog about every single moment.

Thank you everyone who reads and comments on the blog. I swear i check everyone of your blogs every other day to see if you have anything new.

September 10, 2008

Today is our anniversary and not much is going on. I took two days off last week and decided not to take today off. Patrick had class at 4 and went to 9. But he did get out early and so we called Katherine and she was willing to come and watch Audrey for an hour so we could go and get something to eat. We went to ihop. (ihop has a lot of fond memories for us and we wanted to re live them. while we were dating and even before we had Audrey we would go and do the midnight ihop run. Sometimes with friend and sometimes alone. And we went there to eat right after Patrick spontaneously proposed, without a ring. That was in March and the official proposal, with a ring, was in May.)

anyway i'm sure your bored.

If i have left anything major out please let me know.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick, and Audrey

Tennis Shoes

About 6 weeks ago I started working out at Curves.

I love it in case you want to know.

To help remind me to go I have my tennis shoes and socks next to the front door.

Audrey has watched me put the shoes and socks on and this is what we caught her doing yesterday with them.


She put my socks on which go up to her rear end and then she put my shoes on.

I just wanted to share the picture with you.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

A gift?

I have another wonderful Sunday story.

Yesterday was Regional Conference. And Although they were broadcasting it to most of the stake centers around to make it easier for families patrick and I decided that going was not the best option considering we both would have chosen to leave early because Audrey hates to be stuck in the same place for an extended amount of time. And it would have just been a frustrating experience. (don't judge me!)

But we needed to get out of the house somehow. All morning audrey had been carrying around a stuffed shark and exclaiming in a very very loud voice that it was a fishy. She was telling all who could hear all about her fishy fish. (Now Audrey has a really hard time saying her "F" sound she says it more of a "PH" sound and excentuates the "P" sound. So if you listen very very close it almost sounds like Witchy with a "B". It's Pretty funny but i don't want others to think i've taught her a bad word so we've been working on the "F" sound a lot!)

Anyway, Since she was so excited about this fish we thought it might be a good idea to visit some fishes. Pet Mart is about a block away and wanting to get out of the house we made a trip over to look at the fishes.

She loved it. She ran up and down the wall screaming fishy fishy fishy. And when she found a particularly interesting fish she would say "WOW fishy". It was pretty cute.

We then made our way around the rest of the store and saw all the other animals. The other animal she love to look at was the hamster. She would just scream whenever they would run around the cage. Good thing that we were the only people in there or we would have been annoying a lot of people.

After pets mart we needed to make a stop at moms to pick something up that we had forgotten. While over there we related to her all the details of the trip to pets mart. After about and hour or so we left to put audrey down for a nap and so that we could take our sunday nap (yes, the are a time honored tradition in this Spencer household.)

When we went back over for dinner later that evening this is what was sitting on the kitchen counter.



So that is the story of how we got

Remy-Buddy-Lemmiwinks-Scarface the hamster.

Thank you Grandma Cannon :)

So we need to put it to a vote.

Check out the poll on the Right side of the screen

Falling Asleep

On Sunday church starts at 11:00.

Audrey's mid day nap is at 11:30.

For all parents out their you know what that means.

All i can say is thank goodness for Nursery Teachers. It is so nice to drop her off after sacrament meeting and go enjoy my two wonderful hours of peace. Nursery teachers must be angels in hiding.

Now that you have a little bit of background info about our sundays here is what happened this last week.

We get out at 2:10 (yeah for Relief Society) and make the short walk home (about 2 minutes). I decide that it would be a good idea to feed audrey before her nap so that she can sleep longer. Her normal nap length is 2 hours. if she does not eat lunch or something right before it drops to about and hour.

I wanted my sunday nap as well and wanted her to sleep as long as possible. i placed her in her high chair and handed her a sippy of milk and give her a cracker or two to munch on while i finished her meal (PPJ).

As soon as i finished I gave her the sandwich. At first she seemed very interested in the sandwich but she never started to eat it she just stared. I walked away for a few minutes to go and get something from the bedroom and when i came back I saw that she was starting to nod off. So i ran to get the camera and these are the pictures that i got.


Awesome.....right?

I think it's so cute that she feel asleep in her high chair. She's never done that before.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Sleepy.
