Our next-door neighbor Emily has two dogs named Plato and Miriah. Spencer thinks they are great! They are such nice dogs. Spencer sticks his hands in their mouth so that they can kiss him. Good thing hands are washable!

We went with our neighbors, the Whittaker's to the McDonald's in Kayenta. Spencer had never played on the toys at McDonald's before. He had a great time!

Here are pictures of some of the things Spencer loves doing at our new house. He loves to go outside, there are lots of places to walk around and explore; he always has to be carrying a rock and his shovel.
Spencer also loves to play in the cupboards that don't have child's locks on them.
He is a big help with unpacking, he is helping daddy put his computer back together.

There are tons of grasshoppers here. There are dead and live ones everywhere! Spencer is fascinated by them. He tries to chase the live ones. When he sees a dead one he stands right by it and bounces, like it will help it jump again. It's pretty funny! He is such a boy. Yesterday he picked up a beetle!

Rain Storms

On one of our first days here in Monument Valley, I went on a walk with one of our new neighbors to get some "home-grown" peaches. When we got to the fruit stand the clouds just burst open and it started pouring. We started heading back and someone from the community stopped and picked us up. We were already soaked! As it turned out, Devon saw that it started pouring, so he came out to find us. We were one soaked family. And to top off the adventure, when we got home we saw that the peaches were from California. We should have driven to the grocery store!

We taught Spencer how to sign "please." He thinks his is supposed to move his body instead of his hands. It is pretty cute.

We went to Idaho last week. Spencer was sick most of the time, but he was well enough to eat his first ice cream cone. He started eating it the right way, but then he decided the cone tasted better than the ice cream, so he turned it around and ate the cone first.
