April


Thought I'd blog every week this year.







I was wrong.





My sister is Engaged. My baby can sit up unassisted. And rollover. And giggle. A lot. I have Queen stuck in my head. Is it just me or do the songs Killer Queen and If I Only Had a Brain sound like they were made for each other? I learned today that as much as I like crumbled Gorgonzola cheese romantically dispersed on my salad it's fairly gross in bulk. John got an internship at LucasFilm in San Francisco. That means we will be spending the summer in colorful California. It will be a long and luxurious vacation. I already packed Spencer's clothes. A week ago. I am beyond exited. It will be the best time; we're going to see family family family and play games and visit national parks and parks with swings and slides and stuff. Then my sister will get married, John will be best friends with George Lucas, the kids will know some of their cousins, and we'll have a summer full of memories! Maybe John will even know what he wants to do with his future. That would be cool too.


Right now I'm trying to sell things we don't want to store for the summer or longer, find cheap storage, and discover some of the fun things we are interested in doing this summer. I'm looking forward to my sister's graduation from high school. I'm also planning her sweet 18. It will be rockin'. If you are lucky you will be invited.

I got your message and I promise I will call you back. We will be living between Sacramento and San Francisco (Vacaville-Travis Air Force Base). We definitely need to get together this summer.

P.S. I totally think Spencer is going to look more like you than Thomas does. You are so lucky! Kylie looks just like Karl... = )

Baby Spencer!

Spencer David Wilson was born on Monday at 5:42 am, at American Fork Hospital. A few hours later John and I agreed on a name for him at last. He was 7 pounds, 5.2 ounces, and 20 inches long. He has dark fine baby hair. It is so soft! He has a very red complexion compared with Thomas, and a fuller face and darker hair. My mommy has come to take care of me and we are having a great time in spite of having a flu bug which has gotten to several people unfortunately, including my mom and my sister and Thomas, but not John, Spencer, or me. Everyone is on the mend so we are praying for no more sickness! I delivered with the Mt. Timpanogos Women's Health Center and Claudia was my midwife, and Joanne was my doula and Kimmi my nurse. Karyann my sister, and John were also there and it was a great experience to have such a devoted team! I can't begin to tell you what a completely different experience it was compared with Thomas' birth. Everyone was emotionally there as well ...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Sweepstakes! Paige wins MONEY!!!

Don't you love starburst? http://www.starburst.com/ Yes, this is a promotional blog entry because of how much I love my Grandma and Grandpa, Pinatas and, Starburst! Oh, and money. Once upon a time in the summer of 2009, Paige went on a family reunion trip to the middle of nowhere after which reunion John blogged about life preservers on horseback. (Follow links on the right to read John's blog) Before we returned home to the safety of our own life jacket-less lives, we enjoyed a pinata with the cousins. Hiding behind the tree from which the pinata swung violently, I safely would look out for breakage in the pinata and subsequent candy wreakage on the grass beneath. Finally my moment arrived! Among the 20 grandchildren or so present, I dove into the mass of cousin arms and legs and grabbed at all candy visible and invisible (the candy under Colton when he decided to lay on the stash for its protection). I realize now that the failures of my youth to gather pinata can...
