This year's collage


Here are all of the great-grandchildren for this year! I love to see how everyone changes every year. I am happy to say that the first and last child are both ours, for the last time. =) I love that there are even numbers of boys and girls even though Scott and Lois Jean's family has so many more girls than boys. I guess everyone else has all of the boy genes!

Joslyn is here!






Joslyn JoLea Spencer
10-27-10
10:50 a.m.
8 lbs. 13 oz.
20.5 inches long

Joslyn is a little angel of a baby. After her short stay in the NICU due to some blood sugar problems and surviving having a good sized knot in her cord, she has been so sweet. She has been waking up just once or twice at night (so far, I'm sure she'll give me trouble sometime), only cries when I'm changing her diaper, and is just so darn CUTE. We are all quite in love with our new little baby!

End of School Fun


We found a nest of 6 eggs behind our unused satellite dish a couple of days ago. Then the next day the kids saw it and there were two little birds hatched. They were so excited. It was fun to try to get a good picture, however due to the height and tight confines, this was the best I got.

Brynna graduated from Kindergarten to First Grade on Friday. I'm not quite sure why they have a ceremony for kindergartners instead of fifth and sixth graders that are moving on to Cimarron for next year. We had a grand time watching them perform their little songs and to see the slideshow the teacher put together. This picture is of Brynna and her good friend Maile.













For Memorial Day weekend we went to visit my family in Canon City and enjoy the farm life for a day. The kids all got to ride the little horses my grandma has. Then we got to hold the cute little goats my Aunt Carol has at her house. The kids loved it. We had a fun week and now we are looking forward to our two glorious months of hanging out at the pool, selling lemonade (Aaron's favorite), and best of all NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!

What have we been up to?




Yeah, I know it's been a while. I'm not the best blogger, but here goes with a quick update. Right after Christmas we tackled the project of painting the main level of our house. It was a lot of fun if you ask me, but I think I might have been the only one to enjoy the process. We love having this house feel like our own now though. It was quite the experience. We rented scaffolding from Home Depot to reach the 20' ceilings. The kids thought it was a new indoor jungle gym just for them and were disappointed when we didn't agree. It was sitting up in our house for about a week as we pushed it around to the different walls in our two big two story rooms. You might also notice all of the hearts in the kitchen windows. Those are all Brynna's handiwork. It set her to work with a pad of construction paper, a heart template, and a pair of scissors and she went to town!

We also got a new piano as Ashlyn has been taking lessons for about 5 months and we think she really will stick with it. She had a recital and a festival performance within the last two weeks and she is doing really well with it. She got a superior rating on her festival pieces and we were all tickled pink.
Aaron has recently gotten his Bear award at cubscouts and will be starting spring soccer again tomorrow.
Cyerra is amazing us all with her brilliance as she can now name 90% of her letters and is now working on their sounds. With two and a half more years before she starts school, I am sure I will run out of material to teach her well before she hits kindergarten.
Well, that was brief, but fun. I hope you are all doing well.
