Santa Cruz Fire

I don't now if anyone heard but Yesterday there was a fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains and the wind was blowing so hard they were having a tough time controlling it. I am pretty sure its gone now.

We live about 20 to 30 min. from Santa Cruz and this morning I woke up in a panic my apartment was smelling like we had a campfire. My husband said "go back to sleep its just from the Santa Cruz fire". That was crazy to wake up to though!!!

Fun Announcement

Tommy and I and the kids took a Quick weekend down to Idaho last weekend, and when I say quick I mean we left at 9pm on Friday night got there at 7:30 am the next morning and we left to come home at noon on Sunday.

I do hair every eight weeks in the salon my Daddy made me and my mom, and some "THINGS" are going down that prevented me from taking a bigger weekend and that "THING" made it so Tommy and I couldn't be apart.

get your heads out of the gutter!!!!!

So here is the fun announcement, I have been waiting 5 year to make this announcement, and as I sit here and actually type it I have tears filling my eyes. For many of you buying a house may not be difficult but if any of you have a clue what the price of homes cost out here, you would know how GRATEFUL to the Lord I am for this amazing blessing in my life. This is something I thought would never happen. Yes, you guessed it we are in the process of buying a home and its more beautiful than I had ever expected. We have NOT closed yet so anything can happen but things are going smoothly and fast.

Tommy and I have been living in a 800sq. ft. apartment for 5 years and are ready to be home owners now! Now, I do have pictures of the home but I will share them as soon as we close escrow. It will give you something to look forward to.

I want to thank my wonderful husband for working so hard to give such a beautiful gift to our family. He is such an amazing man.

Easter goodness

Easter Egg Hunting at the SPENCER HOUSEHOLD "Beware it can get dangerous" My little cuties

Looking...looking...hunting......

I found one

Oh my gosh!!!!! Easter was so much freakin' fun this year. Not only was it the ONLY day that whole week where there was sunshine but almost all my brothers and sisters showed up with their kids. So there was like 16 kids there or something. We had a humongous Easter egg hunt in my parents back yard. While Tray enjoyed the dinosaur shaped eggs.......Violet was so busy picking up the jelly beans that fell out of the eggs which only left her with a couple of actual eggs, they all got snatched up before she could get them it was so sad. She got some donations though and she was fine.

My little Princess coming back with eggs






Splish! Splash!

We went swimming today with our play group (sorry but there are no pictures). I was literally holding both of my kids thinking this is fun I am just a big floatation device for Violet and Tray to claw on to....Seriously.....CLAW on to. So we are in the pool early before anyone, and people start trickling in, each mother has two kids and on their older child is a life jacket. At this point I am feeling pretty stupid "Why didn't I think of that" Instead I am the children's Booey (or how ever you spell it). If I would have only planned ahead of time I might have been able to have some fun. I know the kiddies had a blast! that's what I get for being unprepared.
