Sam and Spencer are spending the last part of their summer vacation in the Quad Cities at "MeMa" and "PePa's". (Yes, the boys are spending time with family, riding horses, playing outside... while their parent's watch an entire season of LOST on DVD.)

This is the first time Spence mounted by himself. Notice, he is holding the horse and getting on with no help.

Here is an email we received from Spencer with pics of his latest new adventures:





Hi, Mom and Dad. I hope you have a great time in Madison. I am going to Chuckie Cheese this afternoon for my birthday party. I trotted today by myself for the very first time.

Love,
Spencer

Almost 6!
