I'm Two!!

Spencer turned two yesterday! It amazes me that my little guy has grown up so fast! We had the best day a 2 year old could ask for! It started out with breakfast with Mommy and Daddy. Then went to his party at Enchanted Island. He had a ball riding the cars and horseys (carousel) and teacups. We topped the party off with some pizza and an Elmo cake (made my Mommy). As we headed home, Monkey went down for a nap and slept for a solid 3 hours!! He woke up in a fantastic mood, and we opened all his presents. This kid is so lucky, and we are blessed with such great friends! He loved every single thing he got and spent the rest of the night playing with his new toys.

As for me, I am so blessed to have such a great kid, and I can only hope this next one is as amazing and adorable and fills my life with such joy! Happy Birthday, Spencer. Mommy loves you like you couldn't even imagine!!




Oh, and this is him "jumping"

What to be thankful for...

Oh, there's certainly a ton. My wonderful husband, my fantastic son, my supportive family, my amazing friends.

But today, I'm thankful that we're expanding our family by one more sometime in May, 2011! Meet Baby Leach #2. Oh, and they're 95% sure she's a she!

Free Holiday Cards!

We just had our holiday pictures taken, and lucky us, Shutterfly is offering some beautiful cards for the holiday season, and you’re if you’re a blogger, it is giving away 50 free cards just for being a blogger. Sign up here!

I've already found the perfect card, and can't wait to place my order! They have such a wide-range of selections, from super cutesy cards, to elegant and classic. And if you're not into celebrating the holidays this season (shame on you!) they have a great selection of birthday invites, new years cards, and even just some plain stationary ideas!

Shutterfly also has some great gift ideas (I currently have a mousepad sitting on my desk of pictures from last year - and can't wait to update it and order a new one) and Travis has a calendar I made. I have also been eyeing the picture mugs for this year as little stocking stuffers for grandparents!

Miami...

Monkey and Mommy went to Miami last weekend to visit Grandpa and Grandma and Uncle Scotty and Aunt Sam. Monkey was, as usual, an angel. He did wonderful on the plane ride both ways, and he had a ball with all of his family (including all 4 dogs at the Miller residence). We also saw his Nina, Cristy and her little ragamuffins, Roman and Emily. Monkey LOVED Roman's big boy room, and played for a solid hour with the train table in his room. We both had a wonderful time and hope to do it again soon!

Here are some videos, the pictures will be up next, as well as our holiday photos!

Halloween 2010

Here's our Halloween weekend in photos.

First, we started out Friday night with Pumpkins at the Peak. Please note, this is one of the only photos of Monkey with his full dragon suit on. Adorable! And ferocious!


At least one shot with Mommy and the dragon suit!


Bowling at the festival...

Yay...he knocked them over!

Friday night, Mommy and Daddy went to a costume party. They were Russell Brand and Katy Perry.

Sat. morning we went to the zoo to see the "a-moes."

Sunday afternoon we went on a hike...

And finally, time to trick or treat!

This little Monkey was EXHAUSTED by the time he made it home Sunday night! But he had a GREAT weekend! Thanks Nana and Poppy for coming to the Pumpkin festival with us. And a big thank you to Grandma Linda and Grandpa Bob for the dragon suit!!

Here we are...

I told ya I'd have some pictures soon...

I know, I know...

It's been forever. And I don't even have any new pictures or videos to post. I apologize! October has been a little crazy for us. Monkey is just adding word after word to his vocabulary. He will pretty much repeat anything you say to him. His newest facinations are airplanes and buses. Everytime he sees one, he screams "Mommy, Daddy, BUSSSSS!!" or "Mommy, Daddy, llello bus" depending on its color. Or "Mommy, Daddy, airplane" (which sounds more like "hairpane"). He also says "bye" to anyone and anything (including cars, his rocking horse, you get the picture) and has putting 2 words or more together. He's just a blast at this age right now!

We had our holiday pictures taken this past weekend, so I promise some new photos soon. We also have Halloween coming up, and thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Miller, Monkey will be a dragon. Actually, he's going to be a headless dragon since he refuses to wear the hat part of the costume. Oh well. So we will have pictures of that soon too!

Next weekend Monkey and Mommy are headed to Miami to visit a bunch of friends and family. We are hoping for a hassle-free trip, and lots of good times! Can't wait!!

PS - Can you believe it's time to start planning for his 2nd Birthday already?! Stay tuned...
