Pasta Night

Barkley sits next to Spencer during mealtime...usually a smart move as the two have a little conspiracy going on where Spencer feeds his little buddy when we glance away.

What a fun Saturday we had here in Denver. It started with me running early in the morning with my neighber Becky and her friend...we all decided to train for a 1/2 marathon so today we ran 6-1/2 miles. I played golf this week twice from work and ran a few mornings so I was a little sore, but it was still a great run. Then Jon, Spencer and I drove up to Keystone to see Chris, Joan and their two little girls Whitney and Mackenzie. Jon has known Chris since college and Chris and I were friends in Des Moines. They had never met Spencer so it was fun to catch up and see them. It was over 100 degrees in Denver by the time we drove back from the mountains so we all took a nap when we got home!

Tonight we ordered in pizza and pasta...we got such a good laugh watching Spencer eat that we had to take a few pictures to share with everyone. He is such a great eater - there is nothing he doesn't like - although he definitely loves his pasta (just like mom!). Last night we went out for sushi...we order Spencer a bowl of sticky rice which he also loves and by the end of the night he was covered head to toe in sticky rice. He bangs away with the chopsticks and he likes waving hello to the people around us which made him a little crowd pleaser on the patio of our favorite sushi restaurant.


Tomorrow morning Jon is playing a round of golf and then we're taking Spencer swimming again...there's a wonderful outdoor pool a few miles from our house that we went to last week. He loved the water, laughing the entire time we swam. He even picked up a few new girlfriends...he's such a flirt with the ladies and last week at the pool a group of teenage girls hung by him for quite some time!

Hope everyone is staying cool. Have a great week!
