The View

"The View" is the name of the new hotel/resort that was just finished across the highway from our house. It is really pretty. These first two pictures I just couldn't resisit putting on because I have such a cute boy. He was so excited about this rock, and he kept saying "really big rock, really big rock."


This is Spencer and I on a bench in the hotel lobby. those of you who haven't seen me very pregnant can see that this baby must be coming along nicely- I feel huge!

These pictures are all taken of the view of Monument valley from the hotel, or in the hotel lobby. It is a pretty fancy hotel. I guess Gouldings will have to compete for tourists this year.

The things they do

Spencer loves to go to the basketball games. Every time we go to the school he says "ball game?" At the last home game people threw oranges with lines drawn on them to look like basketballs into the stands. Spencer played with his the rest of the game and when we got home he insisted on taking it to bed with him. It mysteriously disappeared in the night- but that was one fun ball!

New Bike

Last weekend we bought Spencer a new bike. He always had to ride the neighbors bikes. Ironically he still always rides the neighbors bikes, but now they have a new one to ride!

"Shoot the Ball"

Last weekend we stayed with Devon's sister Deon. Her boys had a mini basketball hoop. Spencer thought it was the greatest thing ever. He kept saying "shoot the ball, shoot the ball." He played with it all day- even after the excitement from it caused his first head injury! They let us borrow it for a few months, and he still loves to "shoot the ball" at least a few times a day.

Basketball

Lately, Spencer has had a special love for basketball. He loves to go to the games and watch them "shoot the ball." He is getting pretty good at dribbling to!

counting

Spencer is getting better at counting. Whenever he sees a clock he likes to count the numbers. He can almost get to 10 on his own. He says a word for 7- but I have to say seven again and then he can finish to ten. If you listen really close hopefully you can hear it!

Hair at Last

So now that Spencer is almost 2 his hair is finally growing in. You usually can't see it because it is very blonde. We took these pictures just after bath so we could actually see the hair coming in. Hopefully soon it won't look like we shave his head anymore!
