Two peeps in a pod.

My sister's growing up!

Double-shot please!

My Mom's a Fire Hooper.

Hi!

Smooches,
Marina Penelope Pearl Co

"This is where you and Mama met me for the first time, you know."

Spencerisms

Once kids start to talk, they say the cutest things. . . like:

Of food he doesn't want to eat any more he recommends I "save it to later... in plastic."

Spencer often asks, "Where's you doing, mama?"

Of his sister he says lovingly, "I love my baby sister - she's soooo squishy!"

And if he can't find something, he'll say he doesn't "know to find" Scuffy the Tugboat, for example.

And my favorite the other day when I couldn't write with a dried-out marker and was complaining about it he said, "It doesn't work? Because it doesn't have a battery!?"

Keepin' her Safe

I spend a lot of time in my day being a big brother, and keeping Marina Pearl safe.

"Behicles"

Right now, one of my favorite activities is dumping all my behicles out on the floor and then arranging them in different formations all over the house.

What, doesn't everybody do that?

The Constantly Naked Gardener

What can i say, I like to weed in the nude.

The Posse

Just me and my friends, Hudson and Sofia, hanging out and eating some snacks.... doesn't get much better than this!

My Kong Kong and Lola

Going Fishing

My first fish! Caught it at the fishing hole with my Kong Kong and Papa.

Marina Pearl is a Month Old!

My baby sister is already a month old!  She's growing up so fast....

Adventure!

We went on a little camping trip across the Bay with our friends Matt, Susanna, and Bea.  We got rained out, so our friends Adele, Gunner and Thea took us to their yurt in Halibut Cove.  By the end of the day, we were all exhausted! 

Sibling Revelry

Mama, Marina & Papa

The baby is always sleeping!

Sleeping with Papa

See the family resemblance?

meeting my sister for the first time

I've been busy getting to know my new baby... so I haven't had a chance to get online in a while! This is a picture someone took of me meeting my sister for the first time, just a few hours after she was born!

Let's go fly a kite!

Marina Pearl Co

Isn't she cute? This is my new baby sister Marina! She was born at 4:12 in the morning while I was sleeping on Saturday 8/1/08.

I'm a big boy!

Inside a Tractor

Wow - it was like a dream come true when a tractor came to visit our neighborhood, I got to crawl inside the scoop with my toy tractor, Katy!

Baby in the Belly!

We're getting ready for my new sister or brother... I think s/he's going to be born any day soon! I mean, there's not a lot of room in there in Mama's belly anymore!

Beautiful Girl

This is my mama's friend Jesse's little girl, Ingrid.
I think she is beautiful and I want to meet her someday!

Spencer Face

We got a camera again, so we're back to pictures!

Here's lookin' at you!

First Snowman ever!

This is a just a little off the time sequence, but I thought it would be good to post it for posterity. This is our first snowman that we ever made... made back in the balmy days of late April.

Mom takes over

Well, we have officially lost (or had stolen) both of our cameras... so we won't have any pictures for a while.  I've decided, as Mom, to take over the role of keeping the blog updated with stories and little quotes from Spencer and friends.  

For instance, the other day Spencer picked up a empty box of dental floss and asked me, "Where's this for?"  I answered, "That's dental floss, but I think the floss is all gone."  He cocked his head to the side, and asked quite seriously, "But the dental is still there?"

Crazy Hoop Party

At the Hoop Convergence, the hoopers got all dressed up for the Hoopers Ball.  You think toddlers can get crazy?  We've got nothing on these folks!  That's my mama spinning an LED hoop at the party.

Sierra the "Super Hooper"

At the Hoop Convergence, I made friends with a super cool girl named Sierra.  You might remember her as the little hooper on the Ellen DeGeneres show a couple of months ago. We had a lot of fun together and I miss her now!

A Carload of Hoopers

After our lovely stay at Pickards Mountain, we all climbed in the car and headed to the Hoop Convergence.  That's Tina, a hoop student of Mom's from Alaska in the middle, papa making a funny face on the left, and me rockin' the shades on the right. And that little hoop right in the middle is mine, too!

Pickard's Mountain

We just got back from a trip to North Carolina.  Our first night in NC we stayed at a place called Pickards Mountain.  It was a really cool place because they had chickens, a garden with a hammock, a swimming pool, and a really nice little girl my age named Kaya.
