Thanks for visiting the old blog! John uploaded half a million more family videos of the kids to youtube, so go ahead and check them out here or go to john's mrjdwilson channel and check out the uploads.


In case you are interested in double stroller reviews, I wrote an extensive one on the Joovy Caboose last post which you are welcome to read. I love having it, especially going into retail stores with narrow aisles.

So what's been happening in our lives? I pretty much told you all the new happenings- new baby, new job, new state all to look forward to in a few months. We are getting more and more ready to move to Dallas, but it seems like steps backward. Looking at housing prices and commuter mileage the more research the less I know exactly where I want to plant myself in Texas. I'm not stressed though, we have plenty of time.

I've started feeling the baby move in the last week and a half, a pleasant familiar feeling, quite exciting really, but surprisingly unreal at the same time. Usually one might be more reassured of the reality that there is a little gummy bear flipping around inside there tummies, but it's hard for me to imagine life with 3 kids without picturing me sitting on the living room floor a haggard heap of dirty clothes, diapers and tears. Since I'm determined to remain sane and separate from the carpet I can't quite picture the 3 little hoodlums and me and what life will be like on the flip side.

We recently celebrated as Thomas turned an epic age and received exciting gifts. The gifts aren't really important but they lend to the ceremonial attitude of birthday and since we got Thomas a running bike I'm totally stoked for him to learn how to ride it and happy for him to have received gifts and money from his friends and grandparents.




I'm proud of Thomas for learning to say "r" trading with, hugging, and kissing his little brother, playing pretend, and being potty trained for all of his business in the big potty throne. It's nice sometimes that they grow up.





Spencer has likewise been accomplishing big little things like actually signing words hooray! and sleeping through the night! Hooray hooray! There is nothing like sleep. Even food isn't like sleep because you can't pack it to go, cram it at crunch time, and money can't buy it. Man I love my sleep. Ah.

The mother guest bloggers have been delayed due to mothering, laziness and procrastination, but I'm going to get on the ball so check back later!

Love, Paige

I think Spencer's picture really sums up the successful sleeping. And you didn't tell me you could feel the baby?! What the heck dude?

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...
