These Make Me Smile

I downloaded Michael Bublé's new Christmas album so I've been listening to it on my way to work this week. I have to say it's an awesome album, I love his voice. Every time his new Jingle Bells song comes on I can't help but smile, sing along, move to the beat and snap my fingers. Seriously you will too.


This song makes me smile too. I couldn't figure out who was singing the duet with him. Turns out it is Shania! I've always liked Shania Twain. Her voice sounds so unique and fun in this song.


Lastly had to share this video that makes me smile. My sis in-law posted it on my Facebook. We're a BIG Vikings fan family. But lets be honest, the Vikes stink this year. We didn't even pay for the football package to see all the games on TV (thank goodness, would have been a waste of $). It's pretty pathetic this year, sigh. So this past Monday night when we went up against our big rival, the Packers, we had no high hopes of winning. But don't get me wrong, Stephen did really feel this sad inside.

Are you wearing your purple today?

Mom and Dad Spence are here! And Mike is flying in today! What a great way to kick off the NFL season tonight with the Vikings! Purple Pride all the way! GO VIKES!

We're so happy...

...you've decided to come back and give us one more year! Praying for no injuries and an awesome season! Now get to practice...first up, the Saints.

He Likes It! Jimmy Likes It!

FINALLY...James is feeling better. No more mucous, better nights rest. We're so thankful. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers for him to get well. He's almost 100%! Yesterday we took the kids to Chachos for lunch where they had fun playing on the indoor slide and play area. On our way home we stopped at the outlets in San Marcos and got some sundaes at Johnny Rockets.

James loved the chocolate syrup.

And Madeline wasn't sure if she wanted to share hers with Daddy.

Came across this silly and comical "prayer"...

Our Favre-ther who art in Mississippi hallowed be thy name. Thy bowl will come, it will be won, In Miami as it is in the Dome. Give us this Sunday, Our weekly win. Give us touchdown passes, but do not let others pass against us. Lead us not into frustration, but deliver us to the Super Bowl. For thine i...s the MVP, the best of the NFC, and the glory of the Purple People Eaters now and forever. Amen.

Of course y'all know we don't pray to Brett ;) but nevertheless GO VIKINGS!!!

Hope everyone has a blessed Sunday with their ohana!

Red Sox head to ALCS‏!!!

It was like Stephen's birthday last night! :-)

The Halo's came close...but no cigar! It was a happy night at Fenway last night!

I'd say he's tagged out.

The ump made the right call...
Umpire Tim Welke disagreed, insisting that Varitek held the ball long enough to tag out Willits even though it popped loose when the catcher hit the ground. This was not a case where the ground can't cause a fumble.
"That's the NFL," said Steve Palermo, the Major League supervisor of umpires, after the game. "We don't have that in baseball. He had possession of the ball when he made the tag."
