My handsome little man

My handsome little man turned 4 last week, I can't believe it! Time goes by so fast, I remember when I found out I was having a boy, I was so excited. I don't think Steve believed it until he was actually born though. He was so excited about having his birthday, he really wanted a party but I didn't want to do a friend one, he's still kind of small but we had lots of fun anyway.

We went to lunch with Steve's family, Spencer got to choose so we ended up going to McDonald's. After that we went bowling and of course I didn't take my camera. I ended up winning the first game but played pants the 2nd game but it was still fun. Going bowling reminded us of the day Spencer was born, we went bowling with Steve's family and some of our friends. After bowling just a couple of times I felt like I had peed myself. I went to check and I hadn't so I went back to bowl but it happened again, that's when I realised it was my water breaking. It was 3 weeks before his due date so I wasn't too ready but I was really excited. Not excited enough to leave, I sat there while everyone else bowled, crazy huh! It was a really different labour with Spencer, I didn't feel hardly any contractions which was very nice but when they would check me they would say his head felt different, that it wasn't in the right position. Finally after about 4 different people checking me, getting to 8cm and them trying to pop a second sack of water, I had an ultra sound and they realised he was breach. I ended up getting a c-section and he had a lovely little scratch on his head from where they tried to break the other sack of water, hmmm? A lovely adventure but all VERY worth it.

Anyway back to Spencer's birthday. After bowling we went to a couple of stores and then we went to dinner to the "tomato place" which for everyone else is Fazoli's. We got Spencer a lemon ice and ate lots of yummy food. Then it was off to Sub Zero, none of us had been there before. It was pretty cool, the kids loved the smoke and how cold it was. All in all it was a wonderful day and we finished it off by going home and opening presents. He had a great day and loved all his presents. Even Hadley loved the presents. She kept getting cars for Spencer to put in his new dump truck, it was pretty cute.
On Sunday we had cake and ice cream with Steve's family. He decided on an army cake which I was glad about because before that he talked about having a Mator and screaming banche ( I don't know how to spell that) cake. He had the funniest smiles when I took the pictures of him with his cake, it was so cute. He got even more lovely toys from Steve's family and some money from Gma and Gpa Johnson. They came after we had done the cake and presents so when they walked through the door Spencer told them they had missed all the fun. He's such a funny boy, also VERY nuts and CRAZY. He is definitely all boy and makes me quite tired but I love him so much. Everyone always told me boys were easier but I'm not sure I believe that. Hopefully when he gets bigger that will be true. Even if it's not I wouldn't trade him and all his craziness for the world. He really has me wrapped around his finger which is bad but he's just too cute for his own good. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH Spencer, your my handsome little man and you're my best Spencer in the whole world!

Aww, Zoe, he is such a handsome little man and I can really see the 'Smith' in him. He reminds me of Peter. :0) I'm glad I can keep in touch with you via blogs and facebook. You're always so uplifting and so real. I think it's so cute that he calls Fazoli's 'the tomato place'!

I think you had written on my wall for a blog invite. Among all the support we have had, I can't find the post. Send me your email again, and I will send an invite.
