Sir Spencingham

This is kinda what he looks like these days. He grunts and stretches all his waking (and half his sleeping) hours, so its hard to get a picture that isn't mid-grunt/grimace.

Cute little guy... That is handsome in the making.

marianne said...: K, I haven't been on here in like years, but I'm in love! That new kid is BEAUTIFUL!! But then so are the other two, and I'm not even saying that in the cheesy-weird-aunt-that-thinks-all-of-her-neices-and-nephews-are-adorable kind of way, but for real, those are the dang cutest kids. And PS, you look beautiful in that pic with all the kids. Like too beautiful to have just had Spencer. Beautiful.

I'm sounding dumb and cheesy now, aren't I? Weird aunt/sister-in-law...

PS. Would you please write a book just like your blog and make millions so I can tell everyone you're my sister-in-law? I love that your kids are getting your and Rob's sense of humor. LOVE that.; April 20, 2011 at 12:30 AM
Lindsey said...: That top picture is unbelievably adorable. Truly. So stinkin' handsome! I want to bite his cheeks off. What...too much??; April 20, 2011 at 10:06 PM
Kerri said...: So cute isn't it crazy how fast they grow! wish we could be closer so we could give him some serious girl lovin'; April 26, 2011 at 7:56 PM
Cristina said...: Spencer is so cute! I asked Rob if he had any pictures on his phone and he referred me to the blog. Loser. Specifically, a funny loser whose company I enjoy and who's the co-head of one of my favorite families. I wish you could've all come out here to play with us for a few days. <> Hey! I'll be living WITH Austin while you're living IN Austin! We have so much in common!; May 3, 2011 at 1:13 PM

Spencer, getting dressed for the day in pants and a basketball jersey, smirking slyly to himself: "Look everybody! I'm a princess."

Stuart cracked his knuckle tossing his stuffed animal around.

Stuart: "Oh man! I just cracked my finger's ankle!"

February 27, 2013

Stuart and Spencer turned on the Wii to play a game. Spencer collected his bag of snacks and remote and climbed up onto the couch saying, "Wait for it... Wait for it...."

Whitney: "Mom, are oil pastels poisonous?"

Me: "No, why?"

Whitney: "Cause, I got some on my fingers and I... kinda... picked my nose."

April 9, 2012

Whitney, walking through IKEA: "Dad, I feel a little trapped in this store."

Yep. You, me, and Tina Fey, Whit.

February 17, 2012

Whitney: "Mom, what are you feeding Spencer?"

me: "pears and raspberries."

Whitney: "hairs and raspberries!?"

me: "pears and raspberries."

Whitney: "oh good, hairs and raspberries would be really gross."

I couldn't agree more.

January 12, 2012

Stuart: "Hey Mom, I like to eat poo!"

Me: "You like to eat poo?"

Stuart: "Ya, that's just a little funny joke about how I like to eat poo. AND, if I was a poo clown I would like to eat poo pies! (fit of laughter)."

January 2, 2012

Stuart: "Dad, did we buy Poking Thomas?"

Whitney, irritated: "Its Pocahontas!"

Stuart, playing a computer game: "Oh man, how many times did I warn myself about this..."

November 1, 2011

Me, wiping Whitney's puke chuncks off her bed: "Ugh, these are some nasty big chuncks."

Whitney, chipper and matter of fact: "yeah, those are my hash browns."

July 24, 2011

At dinner tonight, Stuart requested "barbecute sauce" for his chicken and "ricebee crispus treats" for dessert.

May 22, 2011

Rob vacuuming.

Stuart: You can't vacuum me, dad. 'Cause I'm awesome.

May 16, 2011

(Painting the front door)

me: Stuart get away from that door, its still wet.

Whitney: I'm not too close to it. Hey, lets watch it dry!!

May 1, 2011

(Stuart is a big "Super Why" fan. This won't make sense unless you're familiar with the setup.)

Stuart: Mom, I need more juice in my straw cup.

me: I can't give you juice until you bring me your cup.

Stuart: I told you I can't find it! See, its right here in my story: "Stuart can't find his straw cup."

February 25, 2011

Whitney: "Stuart, give me that. I need to do something fantastic."

February 22, 2011

Whitney "wins" Chutes and Ladders in 2 turns.

Whitney: "I win!"

me: "you little cheater!"

Whitney: "that's why I always want to be a cheater."

me: "because you always win?"

Whitney: "yeah! you can be a cheater with me, mom!"

On my next move, I "win" too.

February 16, 2011

Whitney walked casually into my bedroom this morning while I was folding laundry and said, "Mom, when you're ready for baby Spencer to come out of your tummy, let me know," and exited equally casually.

Whitney: (saying the dinner prayer)

"Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the food.

Thank you for tumbling class yesterday.

Thank you for Gussy (the dog.)

Thank you for my beautiful hair..."

Sept 18, 2010

Some of you may recall that Whitney used to refer to being naked as being "jaybird."

Stuart has taken it to the next level. Nudie Patootie has become "Nudie Baboodie" and Naked Jaybird has become "Naked Bajaybird."

August 12, 2010

Stuart climbed into my lap today, pushed my hair back out of my face, cocked his head to the side, looked long into my eyes and said, "mom, you're beautiful." It seemed so sincere that I almost believed he knew what he was saying until he followed it up with, "I'm so proud of you that you can swim like a fish. And we can be turtles together! Ribbit!"

June 30, 2010

(On our way out the door to the Science Spectrum)

Stuart: "I pick my booger, mom. I pick my booger out of my nose."

me: "awesome."

Stuart: "I pick my booger out of my nose and put it in my pocket, mom."

me: "awesomer. how come?"

Stuart: "I gonna take it to the Science Spectrum."

June 29, 2010

Whitney: "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!"

me: flustered, "What's up dude?"

Whitney: pauses--taken aback: "I'm not Dude. I'm Sweetie."

June 27, 2010

Rob: "Come sit down, Stuart. Its time for scriptures."

Stuart: bunny-hopping around the bedroom, "OK, And it came to pass..."

me: proud smile
