Carving Pumpkins 2011

Tanner's 4th Birthday

Byebye Binkie-October 2011

Just as with the other kids we snipped the end of Hunter's binkie off.  I love the confusion on his face after he tried to suck on it without success (is that bad for me to feel as a mom?).  I was amazed how well he actually handled not having his binkie the first night.  The next day for his nap he actually went and got it out of the trashcan to make sure it was really broken and then from there on out he would just say "binkie broken" every time that we put him down to sleep.  So glad it wasn't any harder than that.

Spencer's Baptism October 8, 2011

Spencer has had a busy couple of months!  He turned 8 in September which means he was able to get baptized.  Grandma and Grandpa Bruschke were able to come down for the event, along with all the local Higham's (Grandma and Grandpa Higham, Doug and Liz and Fam, and Sarah and Justin and Fam).  Somehow we didn't take many pictures of the event, but it was a very special day.  We are very proud of Spencer and the wonderful young man that he is.  We love you Spencer!

Scouts and Rain-gutter Regatta

We have officially entered the world of scouting.  Spencer is so excited to be part of it.  His first pack meeting was a "Rain-gutter Regatta".  He worked on his boat with Brett and Grandpa Bruce.  He had a blast doing it and can't wait until they have a pinewood derby!
