Dr. Dad

Kelan got to get his teethed cleaned by Spencer today and he LOveD it. You could tell he was super excited but nervous at the same time. He did great and so did Spence. Spencer let Kelan pick out 3 prizes... Spence said he pays enough in tuition that he could have a couple more if he wanted.

So excited!

Sweet glasses

Happy Anniversary!!

Yes we have now been married for 5 years. It has been so fun being married to my best friend. You really are so amazing Spencer! Thanks for putting up with my craziness. I couldn't have picked any better. I am so glad I get to call you mine!

Happy Anniversary... I love you bud.

BOO on Continental Airlines!!!

So why am I saying BOO on Continental... because they are awful! They are the worst and I will never fly with them again. Okay so this is a random blog post but I want everyone to know how awful they are. We were supposed to fly out to New York this weekend for Baby Zoey's baby blessing. Did we make it? NO... why not? Because of darn Continental Airlines. Did Tina (Afton's mom) make it the same time we were supposed to be flying in? Yes! Why... because of awesome Delta.

Things I am angry about...

1. The lady was so rude to us and told us she would not refund our money because the cancellation was weather related.

2. The fact that she switched our flight from a 3 hour direct flight to a 12 hour travel ALL day down to Houston then up to New York flight.

3. They were not going to compensate us even though they could no longer get us there direct.

4. Our already short trip was cut a day shorter and the rude lady didn't make it any better.

5. There is no number to call to talk to someone about the situation you just have to write an e-mail and of course you never hear back.

So we show up to the airport with all of our bags packed ready to go and the lady tells us that our flight has been cancelled and that they won't refund us because it was weather related. She said the best she could do was get us there the next evening by flying us down to Houston then over to New York. What? This is no longer a quick trip it is an all day of travel to be there for a day and come home the next. Are they going to do anything since they no longer have room for us on a direct flight the next day... No! It's not their fault because it is weather related... so that means it is my fault because of darn Hurricane Earl. So we left the airport and got back into our car and not the airplane. Kelan was kicking and screaming... it didn't help that he was desperately needing nap. We were all pretty bummed that we missed out on such an important weekend. We can't wait to see baby Zoey at Thanksgiving time... don't grow up to fast. Sorry we missed it.

SoOOo Sad

Quick Update

We have got some pretty crazy boys on our hands. Kelan and Beckham are growing up WAY to fast for us...

Kelan

Kelan is now going to preschool!! Crazy, crazy... oh how time flies when you are having fun. Kelan was pretty excited to go to school... I think mainly because he wants to be like his DAD. When I dropped him off he was practically pushing me and Beckham out the doors. Our little Goof Ball is growing up.

Beckham

Beckham is all over the place and climbing up on everything. He loves tipping over all the plants in the house and pulling all the leaves off of them. He is turning into quite the little trouble maker. We've already nicknamed him MOnSteR BaBY... We love him anyways!!

Our Little Crazies

Californ-I-A

Meagan got married so we got to head out to California for a week break... it was so nice! Spencer has been super busy all summer with boards and his externship that it was nice to finally have a vacation together... it was much needed for all of us.

Fun @ Grandma and Grandpas

Old Town San Diego...

While we were in San Diego we went to the Mormon Battalion site that is in Old Town. It was really neat to see all that our Church has contributed.

Wedding Fiasco!!

It was so fun being able to attend Meagan and Dwight's wedding. It was a lot of craziness getting it all ready but it turned out beautiful.

Coming & Going

While we were flying to and from California we got to meet up with some pretty cool people...

The Anderson Family

Spencer's brother Ryan and his family came to visit us in the Airport because we had a 2 hour lay over. We had a little pizza party in the baggage claim area. Thanks guys.

Ryan and Spencer

Kelan, Kaydree, Carver, Elsie and Ava.

Beckham and Kelan were awesome flying buddies.

Evander Holyfield

p.s. for those of you who are saying who is this?? It is the guy that got his ear bitten off by Mike Tyson. He's a famous boxer. His bodyguards were pretty funny. They were making fun of me for taking a picture with him when I didn't even really know who he was.

He was on our 6 a.m. flight home... Spencer was to chicken to take a picture with him but since me and the boys did he wanted one too.

Side Note: Beckham started crawling!!! He started crawling right before he turned 7 months... now he's working on the stairs. He's trying to keep up with his big brother.

Weekend Fun...

Spencer has been super busy with his externship so we are loving every minute we get to hang out with him. Our good friends Josh and Dana have come back into town from their summer internship. It is good to have them back we missed them a ton. This weekend we hit up the farmers market, Splash station, and had some delicious BBQ. Good times!

Farmers Market

They have the most awesome farmers market in Downtown Omaha. It is amazing how packed it is and how many vendors they have.

Pretty flowers.

Busy, Busy!!

Check out these studs.

Splash Station

Even though the splash station was out in Fremont it was worth the drive. We had a blast and got some great tans out of it.

Beckham loves the water.

Josh only goes outside if he is in a pool in this nasty weather. I guess we will be doing a lot of swimming if we want to hang out with Josh and Dana.

Josh using his strength to make it across... Josh says it is harder than it looks.

Trying to stay cool in the nasty humidity.

Soaking up the sun!!

Daddy Daddy

These boys LoVE their Daddy... Spencer got home from his externship and his back was killing him. He needed a good rub down and these boys were all over it.
