Spencer turned 2 on August 22nd!! We had a weekend of events planned for the occasion.
The festivities began at the fair, that Friday night. Spencer loves to go see the animals, and just run around. He loves feeding the goats, right out of his hand.
The fair was immediately followed by a trampoline slumber party. Lindsey, and her 2 kids, joined us for all the festivities. Spencer and Alex had so much fun jumping on all the blankets and pillows. Scott was pretty lame, and slept inside. It ended up being really nice outside, really clear. Lindsey's 2 slept in shorts and were fine.
Spencer woke up to a Cars (Disney/Pixar) themed house. His main gift was his new castle and forest fortress. We love ebay, and craigslist:) This castle/forest fortress/and accessories was cheaper than just the new imaginext castle alone...which is what I initially bought.
If you've seen the movie Cars, you probably can recall the tractor-tipping scene. Spence got a die cast "frank" for his birthday. He is constantly running around saying, "oh-no it's Frank!!" However, he leaved the "r" sound out, and switches the "a" sound for a "u" sound....you can imagine how it sounds. 
Katie and I played with the castle for awhile. We set it completely up, and carefully analyzed which one would win in a battle. Based off of number of people, weapons, placement, dragons, and a few other factors.....the forest fortress would win. Then Spencer came along and actually played out the battle. I guess girls and boys differ in their play:)
After he opened presents, and played for awhile, we went to Planet Kid.
Spencer loves the zip line:)
That evening we ordered pizza hut, and had a birthday dinner. Lindsey made the cakes, and made Spencer his very own small tire cake. Our ward had a water party that evening, so we walked over after dinner. Spencer ran around, threw water balloons at dad, and squirted everyone with his squirt gun. Afterwards, we invited a few of our friends to come and do some night swimming. It was a very action packed day, and Spencer was ready to crash when it was finally bed time.

So much fun going on all weekend! You guys are great parents to be planning such great stuff for that kid! :)
I miss trampoline slumber parties.. although everyone usually ends up in a heap in the middle :) haha
So the Forest Fortress would win eh? Not factoring in that the dragons could burn down the trees and not the other way around to the stone castle?? :) hehe
Oh yea, I thought about it!
[just a little] :D
