Every year I like doing an “All About Me” page for my kids. That way, when they’re older, they can see their likes, dislikes, friends, and unique things about themselves. Here’s Spencer’s for 2008.

I’ll want to remember each place we’ve lived in and here is our first apartment (well, not the first place we lived as a married couple…that was at Steve’s parents’ place) This is when we lived under Eric and Jamie.

I’m working on a few old memories (before the kids) and came across Rosanne’s surprise birthday party. I loved that she had to use the bathroom REALLY bad so when we yelled Surprise she ran to the restroom. 🙂

I decided to work a little on the time we went to California with Jed and Leona Burton back in 2005. Here’s the one I finished so far. I still need to find out the name of the city we were in (hint hint…Leona!!!). Then I can add that on there too.

Saw this and thought it was pretty cool. Link

So I just turned off the computer and started to stand up when I heard Spencer cry out. I went into his room and asked what the matter was.

Sp: “I never got a new map.” (bottom lip sticking out)
Me: “You’re right. Were you dreaming about it while you were asleep?”
Sp: “Yeah.”
Me: “Okay. How about you go back to sleep and you’ll have a new map tomorrow morning.”
Sp: “Okay.”

What a silly little boy! His buddy, Reid, had his 3rd birthday party on Tuesday. It was a Pirate party and although Spencer said pirates were scary, he really enjoyed himself. Leona (Reid’s mom) did such a great job (props to you Leona!!!). She even had a treasure map that led them to the ticking crocodile (egg timer) from Peter Pan. The kids followed the map, found it, and then they’d hid it again. At the end they found their treasure chests (I can’t pry it out of Spencer’s hands!!!) with lots of booty inside! Well, after we came home Spencer (who is very particular…maybe a little OCD?…about how things have to be) decided that the map was too wrinkled. He’s been asking me for a new one ever since. I keep hoping he’ll get over it but he obviously hasn’t. What a silly boy.

Okay, so today was an absolutely beautiful day! The kids were playing and Shana and I were enjoying the sun in the front yard. I put my arm down on the arm rest and… OUCH! Stupid thorn. I looked and there wasn’t anything on the arm rest. I put my arm down again and it was still hurting. That’s when I noticed the STUPID WASP with his STINGER IN MY ARM!!!! OUCH! I don’t remember ever being stung before! It hurts! :*( Shana (who’s allergic) smooshed it for me and made a baking soda & vinegar mixture. I finally figured out where the puncture hole was so she put it on and covered it with a Princess bandaid. It helped with the sting. I decided to take a picture of the little stinger…I mean stinker…before I flushed him (to make sure the kids didn’t step on him).

The Culprit:

So, I decided to steal the idea from my neighbor to make my own baby books (and sell them on our site). I’m making one Jungle themed for Mike and Nicole when they have their baby in July. Here are a few pages I’ve completed:

My friend, Mikensi, had this posted on her site and I loved it so much I wanted to share it with each of you! (ehem…Mikey!)
