Here is a picture of Taylor hiding his letters to show Nana and I what he wrote. The two that go with it are under the next pictures of Spencer.

Spencer looking cute on a small dump truck, he pulls up the back and sits on it.

Here is what happens when you leave the step stool next to fresh baked cookie. I yelled NO!!!!! and Spencer shoved the cookie in to his mouth as fast as he could. It was Hilarious.

Now here is the product of Taylor's Hard work and Concentration. Great Job Taylor!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been a while

I know it has been a while. I have been pretty busy. I have been at my job since February. I got promoted in July, I love my new position. My mom is living with us and taking care of the boys while Pat and I are working. We had a good Summer. I can not beleive that Spencer will be 2 in a couple of month. It makes me so sad. Taylor is 4 and 1/2 He is so smart. They are both growing so fast. Spencer is saying words. Taylor is a good big brother most of the time and shares real well with Spencer. Well hopefully next time will not take this long.

Taylor and Brianna on the 4th of July

Taylor looking cute.

My yummy breakfest concoction. Waffles with butter and powdered suger, chocolate syrup, bananas and strawberries. Yummy Love it.

Yes these vegies came from our garden.

First HAIR Cut ;(

Well I waited as long as possible. Spencer's hair was getting real stringy. It would just start looking ratty right after it would dry from the tub. It made me so sad. Spence is too cute. He loves getting into everything and does not want to play with anything but things he can not have. Like remotes, computers, in cabinets, and etc....

S-N-O-W !-!-!-!

Well, just as we thought we would not see snow this year, this happened. Can I tell you we were so excited. It was awesome. It started snowing at 3:30 Sunday and did not stop snowing till about 1am. We had a lot of fun, at least Pat and I did. Taylor had a bad fever starting sunday at church. He did go out for a little while with Spencer. I had to work Monday and Taylor and Pat were both down and out on the couch all day. So no pics of anyone playing in the snow, to bad. It was so amazing watching the snow just keep comming down. This is the real first snow storm I have ever been in. We loved it.

Pics of the Boys

Here are some cute pics of Taylor and Spencer. Spencer Just started walking a couple of weeks ago It is so cute. The day before he started walking he was standing by himself in the kitchen, and when I lookedat him I got tears in my eyes. My baby is not a baby anymore. Well Taylor loves to watch Christmas train videos, Polar Express, and Video of polar express and trains on you tube. Spencer likes to get under the kitchen cabnet and pull everything out, look at the christmas tree and reaches for the lights. Man I love them.

Where did he come from.

Yes look at the blood, He ended up falling off the chair. I even got it on video. Seriously, I do not know where he came from. I mean Taylor was and still is always so cautious. Tay will still not jump of the bed or the couch. Spencer actually climbed up the chair and was standing with one foot. It was so cute, I'm in for it now. Love It!!!!!

This is the river walk for any of you how lived in Sanford you will remember this. This is what it looked like about 2 weeks after tropical storm Fay came and went. Can you believe how flooded it still was.

I think this is the cutest pic of spencers Duff.

Sept pics of Florida trip

Sept trip to Florida

OK so I know it has been a while, but on my defence I was in AZ for a month in October. It was a fun but loooooong trip, especially with 2 little ones. Taylor is doing great, he loves his little brother. One thing that makes me sad it Taylor does not like my kisses anymore, WHAT. He is only three come on I thought I would get kisses from him till at least age five. Maybe this is just a little faze. Spencer is to cute he has 4 teeth now 2 top 2 bottom. Spence can stand but still will not walk he has been standing for at month now. He is so cute he will be standing at the table and lift up his arms up and down huffing and puffing and laughing it is so cute. Spencer will eat anything and is so messy. Defiantly getting use to that one, Tay was so clean. Well I will upload some pics now. Some will be from our trip to Florida.

Oh, Florida

Pat, I and the Boys came to Florida this week end till Wednesday. It is Sunday and Taylor, Spencer, and I just got home from church. Man I really miss it here. Taylor got to see all his friends at church, and I got to see mine. It was so nice. I was also able to see all my old coworkers at one of their little boys birthday parties. I really miss it down here. Obviously I've mentioned it twice. I wish I had pics of all the people we were able to see again.

It has been so nice to see Pats Mom and two sisters. We have missed them. Luckily they are just a days drive away. We are going to have to come back in the spring.

We went to the beach the first day we got here. It was so nice and warm. Taylor loved it and started right where he left off, getting right into the water and having a wonderful time. Spencer's first time at the beach was amazing. He loved it just a much as Taylor. He was crawling around with sand all over him. You know I can not believe he did not eat the Sand, He is my eater, he eats everything even paper, so for him not even trying to put any sand in his mouth was great. It was more toward evening time so we were shaded by a hotel which was great I did not have to worry about Spencer's skin. He also loved the water, I had to take him in to get all the sand off and he just jumped and splashed. I can not wait to go back before we leave. My sister in law Courtney took pics of Taylor and Spencer at the beach so I will post them once she sends them to me.

The Birthday party was awesome. I was able to see Sabrina, Beth, Ashley, and Leah my old coworkers. Man I miss them all. We had so much fun working together. All our kids are the same age so it was fun seeing them all interact and play. They all are so cute. Ashley's to Wilson and Grace wow I can not believe how big they have gotten and Gracy is so stinking cute. Then Logan and Mason, it was Logan's party. He turned 3. Beth's little guy Dominic so cute with milky white skin and sweet big eyes, you can just see his personality coming out of them. Then there was Ethan how is just starting to talk. I love the way he says "Horsey". It was nice to see Sabrina's mom again she is so sweet. And the made the most wonderful Empanadas sorry don't know how to spell that.

Then seeing all my friends from church Kristy, Jenny, Rachel, Deanna, Amanda and many others. Rachel's baby is so cute, it was the first time I was able to see her. Kristy's little Logan is the cutes little butter ball, makes me smile thinking of him. And Mia has gotten so big. So has Kai, Daxton and Jacy. Jacy was born a week before Spencer she is so long. And how can i forget Isabella, Taylor's Belle. He loves her so much. He brought her a lay necklace to church and sat next to her during sacrament meeting. They were so cute.

This is everything up to date. We are leaving on Wednesday, and my shoes are already full of sand.

More Pics of the Aquirum

This Aquarium was awesome. There was so much to see and do. Taylor loved it. It kept going and going.

Our trip to Tennessee

We decided to go to Tennessee kind of on a whim, Pat had Tuesday and Wednesday off. So we drove to Tennessee Tuesday around 1pm and came home Wednesday around 4pm. It was a short trip but we had a lot of fun, and made some good memories. Every time we go to Tennessee we stay at Hidden Mountain Inn which are cabins you can rent in the Smokey Mountains. We love it there. We stumbled across it on our honeymoon driving from Arizona to Florida and have gone back every year but two, the year Taylor was born and last year. This year we went to Ripley's Aquarium and I am so glad we did, the boys loved it, especially Taylor. It was huge and it just seemed to kept going and going, I will blog pics of the aquarium soon. We went to our favorite restaurant twice Applewood Restaurant a must as usual. I am so glad we went. I can not wait to go back.
This is the cabin we stayed in "Time Stops Here" I really felt at peace up there. I didn't think about anything and just lived and enjoyed the time with Pat and the boys. Each cabin has its own name, we have never stayed in the same cabin twice, each cabin has a jacuzzi tub and a jacuzzi on the balcony. One year we rented a cabin with a ping pong table on the balcony. There are so many fun things to do up here. One year we went horse back riding. We have not gone white water rafting yet and now we will have to wait till the boys get older, but that is defiantly something I would love to do.
