Our Mini Vacation

Last weekend Mark and I went up north to Salt Lake to see my family. While there we had a baby shower (thank you again to my mom, Rhonda; and my sisters, Heidi, Steph and Shannon for throwing such a great shindig). It was great to see family and friends. We got a lot of cute stuff to decorate Spencer's room including wall paper, wall hangings, a mobile, a diaper stacker, and a window valence. We also got some very cute outfits (my favorite says "Party at my crib 2 am"), scrapbooking supplies, a first aid kit, lots of nice blankets in a variety of sizes, and some toys for him to play with. My neice Ashlynn said it well, "You are sooo spoiled." Thanks again to everyone for all of the nice visits and wonderful gifts. I truly am spoiled.

For the holiday we got to hang out with my family. It was my Grandma Kersey's Birthday Thursday and my Mom's Birthday Saturday (Happy 50th Birthday Mom) so we had one big party and it was great. After a b-b-q with all the salads and trimmings they opened presents, and it was their turn to be spoiled. That afternoon the grandkids and my mom went for a little swim in the backyard, literally. They had a lot of fun playing together in the water. Later that night Tony, Steph, Mark, Ashlynn and I went to the fireworks show in Magna. It was pretty good, but kind of scary when they set the fields on fire. We are glad we got to spend the holiday with the family. We are proud of our country, and are so thankful to live in a land with so many opportunities and freedoms. God Bless America!

Saturday Mark and I hung out with my mom and dad. Mark helped my dad with some drywall work to help them get ready to finish their basement. I went bumming around with my mom. It was fun to just go window shopping because I don't get to do that very often. That evening my parents treating Mark and I to the Buzz game. It was hot, crowded and we lost, but it was fun. After the game they had a really good fireworks show. It was nice to have a day to relax a little bit after all the excitement of the holiday.

Since Mark and I have been home we have done a lot of "nesting" getting Spencer's room all ready. Here are a few pictures to prove it. I only have about seven and a half weeks left (assuming he comes on his due date). We are getting very exctied and can hardly wait.
