The last few times I've been over to see Spencer he has crawled up in my lap and asked me to tell him a story - his mom says he's been asking her for stories a lot lately and he has his favorites he likes to hear. She and I usually tell him a true story about someone in the family but sometimes he makes up his own story that he wants you to tell - like the one where I catch an octopus.
Jen likes to tell him about when she and Becky dressed up Stevie in a dress and I do actually have that picture but I wasn't sure if Stevie would appreciate that one being on the blog. (I"ll show it to you when you come over though, Spencer)
Another favorite of his is when I was a little girl and I'd visit my grandparents on the farm. Since they had outdoor plumbing you had to make a trip to the outhouse when the need arose. Grandpa had a mean old rooster that would chase you across the yard and try to spur you and Grandpa would come out and chase the old rooster away.

Above is a picture of my Grandpa and below is a picture of me at the farm.


This is a picture of me with my catch that day.
He also likes to hear about my friend Roger - how we would not ring doorbells but I would stand outside and holler "O Roger!" at the top of my lungs. I told Spencer about me trying to jump over the fire hydrant and splitting my head open. I told him how Roger and I often played "Superman & Supergirl" or played with his huge train set that he had. Below is a picture of us playing 'house' - although I was a tomboy Roger was fair in playing 'my' games too.


And the last two pictures are just some I thought Spencer might get a kick out of.


And I just thought Spencer would like this picture of Uncle Stevie and Popo since he is so big time into Superheroes.
I guess I'll have to start remembering some more stories - I can always use some help if anyone can think of any I could share with the grandkids.
