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.

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.
