Poor Spencer had a fever around 105 and had to get a urine sample taken. Believe me, this is MUCH easier to do with a boy . . .

More pics at the wedding reception . . .








Finally . . . the "princess gown" revealed . . .


Dancing Queen . . . not afraid to be the only one on the dance floor.



"You keep running off, so now you have to sit with mommy for a few minutes . . . "




Lindsey's twins (Lindsey is the bride). I wish you could see them better, they looked beautiful! Kaci kept running off to hang with the "princesses". They were bending down to be at her level for the picture, but she was copying them and kept leaning down herself.




Torture . . . waiting for cupcakes . . .





Back on the dance floor . . .



Ok folks. Here it is. We went to a wedding reception and she was sooooo excited to go to the "princess party"! We had to drag her away from the wedding party all night. She was determined to be part of the main attraction.

Kaci and the Princess Gown

Today we did a little shopping looking for coats for the Utah trip. While browsing Kaci found a dress and decided it was hers. She carried it around the store showing it to anyone who would listen and said "see my princess gown?". She would not put it down (it's actually pretty cute) and was determined to take it home so I decided what the heck, since she never does stuff like that about clothes. She's very much a tomboy and never gives a hoot what I dress her in. So we bought it and I had to convince her to wait until we got home to put it on.
When we got home she couldn't wait to put it on, so I told her she could wear it for a few minutes until nap time. She twirled around and danced and asked for the Dora show with the princess so she could dance along with the songs (thank goodness for tivo).
The first words out of her mouth when she woke from her nap were "my PRINCESS gown!!". I told her she could put it on to show daddy when he gets home. A couple minutes later she walked out of her room with it on over her pj's saying "look! I did it myself!". It is so funny since she's never done anything like this before. As cute as it is, I hope it's a one time thing or I have something new to fight with her about . . . I'll post a pic of her with it on as soon as I find batteries for the camara.

Spencer's First Steps

Spencer started walking the other day! He doesn't quite have it down yet, but he's really trying. It's so funny! I forgot how much I get a kick out of those first few weeks of walking. He looks like a little drunk man. He's so proud of himself and you can tell he's very excited about this new skill.

This morning I changed his diaper and left him to "air out" for just a minute and he pooped all over the carpet. One of those explosions ya know? Then he stepped in it and I finally shook myself out of my panic induced paralyzation just in time to stop him from putting his hand in it to play.
Not 2 minutes after I got him rinsed off in the sink, Kaci woke up and I went to get her out of bed. She is soaking we (as is her bed) and her diaper is lodged halfway down the leg of her pj's.

What a glamorous life eh!??
