So, I am one of those people who loves to look at my friends blogs. Some of you are great about updating (Thanks Michelle for all of the great stories) other are not so good (I am not going to point fingers because you know who you are). I was looking at all of my favorite blogs and realized I hadn't updated my own in a long time. In the words of Spencer, Oattt OWHHH! So, here is my catch up post with hopefully more frequent posts to follow.


Christmas was wonderful! We were spoiled way too much, ate way too much and had a nice break from work. Spencer loved unwrapping and playing with the paper more than his presents. We were so thankful to have time to celebrate with family and friends the birth of our Savior and just to have fun. New Years was also fun. Spencer and I went back up north to play with my family and get together with my mom's side of the family (which we don't do often enough). This picture is of all the presents for my parents, siblings, neices, nephews etc. (enough for 16 people). They are not all Spencers!!!



Other things we have been up to: work. Lots of work. We were really worried that work would be as slow as it was last year but we have stayed busy. I count my blessings each day at work when a customer comes into the store. Spencer is still a good helper at work but now that we live upstairs he also loves to go watch ELMO! He is obsessed with Elmo. After a couple of weeks of teething (by the way, we are now up to 14 teeth) and not sleeping good Mark bought this stuffed Elmo for Spencer to sleep with and he has been doing much better. Mark and I are still busy with our callings in church but we wouldn't have it any other way.


Spencer has discovered "Snee" as he likes to call it. Mark took him sledding (I stayed at work) and they both loved it! Spencer has also been spoiled seeing so much family the last few weeks. Nanny and Papa have come down a couple times. Spencer loves them! He also has seen his cousins a lot with all the birthdays, Superbowl and moving Mark's mom into a new house that we have done (Mary's house will have to be a post in and of itself).

Well, if you are still reading up to this point, you must really love us or something of that nature. So, I will reveal our big news now for those that endure to the end. I am pregnant! Wahoo! Yep, I am due September 15. We went to the doctor yesterday and everything looked great! I have been super sick but we are so excited to have another little one. Our two will be almost exactly two years apart which I think is perfect. This means that I will have to quit working at the store but I will probably start pushing our internet sales and stuff like that from home.

So, that is the update. Thanks for tuning in and I will try to be better (no promises from the sick one though).
