Euro Cup 2008

The grand event of European sports took place Sunday night. The 2008 Euro Cup captured everyones attention...especially Spencer's! We had quite a rivalry going with Grammie & Grandpa Randall who are living in Germany & of course are big German fans. At the Taylor Randall house we are all fans of Spain - Spencer's all time favorite football club. We called Grandpa after Spain's first goal...we're not so sure he appreciated hearing from us at that particular moment. Spencer's good friend Arthur came over to cheer & watch the game. Spain won 1-0. After the game the two boys went running through the streets cheering & laughing. Our bakery lady wasn't too thrilled and yelled out the window telling the boys to be quiet!

Stade de France

Spencer's big request for this "golden birthday" celebration was to go to a soccer match at the stade de France in Paris. Late Saturday night he and Taylor took the train and had a blast watching the French national championship game between Paris Saint Germaine and Lyon. Thousands of crazy fans made it even more memorable. Sometimes I wonder if it's more fun to watch the soccer fans or the players. Spencer had a wonderful time with his dad...yet another priceless memory for years to come.

Spencer

Today marks Spencer's 14th birthday...his "Golden Birthday" no less. That means that he turned 14 on the 14th. France is a pretty cool place to celebrate your golden birthday. Lucky for him it was a half day of school so he got to chill and do whatever he wanted this afternoon. Somehow life as the only boy has it's advantages.Today he had Olivia, Clara & Lilly calling him "Sir Spencer". I guess that's birthday royalty.

We have loved having Spencer in our family. He's athletic, busy, creative, debonaire, exciting, fabulous, great, handsome, interesting, jolly, krafty, likable, masculine, nice, outrageous, personable, quick, rowdy, sensational, terrific, unbelievable, vivacious, wild, x-treme, young, zany. Happy Birthday Spencer!!!!
