He had a Widdow Wam and other stories by Brother Goose

Thomas Quotes of the Day:

He had a widow wam, he had a widow wam x infinity whilst accompanying himself on the piano.

"Thomas, this is a chocolate, peanut butter milkshake," I said. Then Thomas looked up at me with sleepy hair and a huge chocolate milk mustache and said,
"Can I shake it?"

Even though I wanted to say yes, I didn't.


This house is not falling down. It is being careful.

Thomas: "Daddy, I have a question for you."
John: "Okay, what's your question?"
Thomas: "28, for the firetruck."
John: "Right."

Paige, "Thomas, do you want your zucchini, or do you wand Daddy to eat it?"
Thomas, "Don't want you to tell Kyna."
Apparently Kyna, Thomas is getting you mixed up with a delicious green squash.

Traci looked at her garden and said to Thomas, "What do you think?"
After a few moments of silent deliberation, Thomas replied, "I don't like other mommies; they're scary."

After jumping on the bed, and being kicked off, "Mommy said I kicked you off because you were kicking and not being soft, this is a bed, not a playground!" To which Thomas said, "Stop complaining, Mommy."

As a couple of you may be aware, I am training for a half marathon. Saturday I attempted 6 miles, knowing full well that would be a challenge, but believing that with my past miles behind me and the reality of a 13.2 miles ahead of me, I would just have to do it. Well Kyna you kicked my booty and now I am paying the price of my 6 miles of hobbling over the weekend. I may be walking like an elderly lady now, but I will be running 13 miles Halloween weekend. Sorry I stink Kyna, I'll make you some zucchini bread to make it up to you.

Oh and remember that push up challenge John and I were attempting a year ago? Well we are actually doing it this fall! So far I can do 15 push-ups in a row, and friends and family are joining in, so if you are interested, go

Oh Paige! Thanks for making my Monday! I hope you're not walking like an old lady for too long, it was fun to have a running buddy, and you can totally do the half marathon!

And, I don't mind being compared to zucchini at all. I love zucchini.

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 ...

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...

Part 2: The Hospital

Disclaimer: This is my personal record of Spencer's birth. It is the short version, and don't be fooled it is not short. Leaving I knew around 1 or 2 am that I could go to the hospital, but decided I could also wait a little longer, and I didn't say anything. Then when I said, "do you think we should?" to Joanne she said, "Yes" and was all about making that happen right then. We arrived at the hospital just after 3, so it was probably a quarter 'til when we left. She said she would follow John and I over and we loaded up the car. I had a contraction on Main Street and it really hurt and I was pretty worried about having more but the second one I pushed on the roof of the car, and it tucked me into my seat and wasn't so bad. The third one was okay, pushing on the roof didn't help so I tried to relax my arms instead and it was short lived anyway. We parked, and I started walking slowly toward the doors. I had a contraction on the sidewa...
