Spencer turned five on November 16th. He was so excited to have his Jazz birthday party. He4 invited his friends of all ages, and we had Utah Jazz gear everywhere. Each guest was asked to wear Jazz colors. We had Jazz colored balloons and plates, and drinks. The cake was actually cupcakes, in basketball form. Tim came up with some basketball games and besides that we basically let them all run wild! We aren't sure where this came from, but he has a serious love for cowboy boots. His Grandma Marie bought him a "dress-up" pair last year, along with a cowboy outfit, and he has worn them practically everyday since. They were getting a bit small so I went to a real Cowboy store (ha ha: Pederson Farm Supply) and bought him a new pair. They were leather with beautiful stitching and were even two toned. He loved them!!....at first. But by the end of the next day, he had chucked them to the back of his closet and had his old pleather ones back on. Seriously. It was "the box is better than the gift" syndrome. Oh well. Lesson learned. His favorite gift was the one Uncle Todd actually made for him. It consisted of PVC pipe glued together with plumbers glue in the shape of a bull, and a long rope made into a lasso. I think it may have cost him all of 5 bucks to build, and it was worth every cent! He played with it, practicing his lassoing techniques, for hours that day, and still plays with it. In fact, it even caught on with Dad! Tim has been going around the entire yard looking for things to lasso. Guess I know what to get him for his next Birthday!
