Criscell and Spencer: January, February, March, April, May, June...2011

Aunt Stacie's Pool Party! Alex put his head under the water for the first time.

Washington trip

I think we are in Big Foot Country, How about you?

Surprisingly, it is not cold. Check out the snow level. This is on our way to Mt. St. Helens

Alex Loved Bryan and Jenn's Dogs

Portland Oregon Zoo. Chilin' with the bears.

Can you see the cougar.

Cool tunnel with houses built on top of it.

We went to these water falls that were amazing on our way to Washington.

I think Alex is sick of the car.

Tried to Dredge for gold, but the water was too high. This is one amazing piece of equipment.

I don't think Alex could figure out what this thing was.

Boise Stadium. It was really cool to walk out on the field. Alex is in his, Down, set, hike position.

Our massive hotel. We slept in separate beds it was such a big room.

Alex's Happy Cheesy smile that I love so much.

A Dad and His Boy!

Easter!

Look what the easter bunny brought me.

Alex is such a handsome muffin.

We had an easter egg hunt and party with some friends the Saturday before easter.

I love to decorate cakes. This one I did for easter with a basket weave on the side. I was really sad though. It started to slide off :( I need to learn more about cake decorating apparently.

Spencer and I took a trip to Las Vegas to meet with our Adoption agency case worker. We had a little fun while we were there too.

Can't go to Vegas without visiting the M&M store.

Spencer loves his Raising Canes. When he served his mission in Louisiana, he found his love for their chicken fingers. It was started in Louisiana and now they are all over. So of course we had to get some.

My aunt treated us to an awesome Razor tour. I have to tell you that was one of the most fun things I have ever done. Can you say 90 miles an hour on a lake bed!

Do we look sexy or what.

Nothing like a dirt filled grin.

Super cool guy right here!

March! March Madness and Mardi Gras, two of Spencer's favorite things. He is seen here eating a Crawfish Po Boy sandwich. I have to say that it is spectacular. Po boy's are native to the south and he ate them all the time on his mission in Louisiana.

Something else Spencer really likes is King cake. It is a Mardi Gras tradition. There is a little toy baby Jesus hidden in the cake and the tradition is that whoever gets the piece with the baby has to bring the cake the next year. I bought this one and then I learned how to make them. They are really easy and fun to make. They are Yummy!

Alex likes to put on our sunglasses. We got him a pair and he will wear them for a second and take them off. Oh well!

We live by some of the most beautiful canyons. We decided to take our friends up the canyon when they came to visit. It is so pretty.

Alex got to meet Clifford the big red dog at the local libraries story time. He was the first one up there.

I am not sure what he did, but he thought he was caught red handed. Tell me his little belly isn't the cutest thing you ever saw.

In February the weather decided to bring us a treat of warmth. It was still jacket weather, but I think everyone in the city went to the park to celebrate. Spencer played basketball with a few teens and ended up beating them till they dropped.

Alex loves the slide, but sometimes chooses to go down a different way.

Where there is girls there is Alex.

Another one of Alex's favorite things is Apples. He walks around the house sometimes just chanting, apple, apple, apple. One day he ate everything but the stem of the apple.
