Wedding Weekend!

Sorry for the late post! We were gone all weekend and I'm just getting around to it now.

So are you wondering if Spencer still brings crazy stuff to bed?! The answer is yes and no. Most nights it's the usual stuff like a few blankets, and a few stuffed animals. We also have to read at least two books before bed. There are the occasional nights though that he will ask for something odd like in the picture below. He wanted to wear both his golf shoes (as he calls them) and his jersey. I HATE when he wears something like that to bed because it automatically means there is going to be a battle in the morning. He will wake up and know that I took his shirt off and will insist that he needs to wear it to school. We've had a few rough mornings because of this.



Spencer called me into the living room to see the hill of toys that he made. He was so proud.

Easton is still working on his crawling. He can scoot backwards, roll everywhere and sit up from the laying position. He also continues to pull himself up on things. We have hit the phase where he doesn't want to be left alone in a room for very long. If I leave the room without him knowing it only takes a few minutes before he figures it out and starts fussing. Luckily I have a little helper that will keep him entertained for small amounts of time. Spencer loves to play and make funny faces at Easton. This also happens at bedtime if you lay him down awake. He will fuss and as soon as you walk back in the room he starts to giggle! I can't help but laugh.

Grandma came up on Thursday to get the boys. Before picking them up at daycare she stopped by with fall decorations and decorated the outside of our house. Spencer LOVES what she did and insists that we go look at the pumpkins everytime we leave or get home. Thanks Grandma for your help!

The boys stayed at Grandma's on Thursday so Ryan and I could clean and pack for the weekend and get out the door at a decent time on Friday. It also meant an hour less in the car for the boys. Easton got a sink bath while he was at Grandma's.

We headed to Milwaukee on Friday. Ryan's cousin got married on Saturday so we decided to go down the night before. We checked in and went straight to the pool. Ryan took both boys swimming. Spencer and Easton love the water.

We went out Friday night looking for a place to have dinner and at the same time both Ryan and I saw the sign for Chuck E Cheese. We thought why not and turned into the parking lot. Spencer loved playing all the different games and turned his tickets in for a sucker and a blue frog. The pizza didn't look too great so we ended up eating at Applebees before going back to the hotel.

Saturday the boys went to their first wedding. Spencer did okay in church but Easton was way too busy to sit still so I stood in the foyer and watched through the glass windows with him. Spencer had so much fun playing with his cousin Caden. Whatever Caden did Spencer was right behind him doing the same thing. They both sat great through dinner and then were super excited when they could finally hit the dance floor. By 9:30 pm Spencer was asking if he could lay in the stroller instead of Easton because he was so tired. That was our sign it was time to go.


Getting ready for the wedding. His first tie!





Here is a video of Spencer and Caden showing off their moves.

Sunday we stopped in Eau Claire on our way home. We had family pictures taken and had dinner at Grandma's. Both Spencer and Finley LOVED the treat grandma made. We couldn't keep their hands out of it!
