Happy Anniversary!

Six Months

Since John and I just celebrated our anniversary and John is writing in his journal to tell it "Hey, by the way- I got married and had three kids-" I figured I mind as well check in too.  No, he does write slightly more often than that.  Slightly.


We had the most fabulous anniversary so far- I know we've only had 6- here's to many more in the future.  At least 60 because I want to get me some diamonds.  Yes, that's the "traditional" gift route.




 Two Years

I think the whole "modern" anniversary gift route is just because people don't plan on making it to the jewels.  So the traditional wedding gift for year 6 is candy or iron.  I compromised and made John some homemade bread yesterday.  It's like candy to John's soul.  Or it's like something nice that you can give without leaving your house.  Okay, it's not at all like candy, and I'm not that lazy or I wouldn't have baked homemade bread I just said that.


We started out the day by going to the temple, which of course was closed for cleaning.  That was actually really fun because there we were all dressed up with nothing to do at a beautiful location all to ourselves, which obviously equals good conversation.  Obviously.  


So we had a great day because John got the day off which in and of itself was spectacular, and we farmed the kids out to babysitters and spent the day together having adult conversation, window shopping, going out to eat, visiting the Dallas Arboretum, touring the mansion there, driving all over, etc.


Baker's Ribs?


Umm.  I never wanted to eat again because I knew nothing could compare to the awesomeness that is Baker's Ribs.  But I did.



Seriously, you should go there.




And, back to me.  I'm really cool.  John is too, which is why I married him six years ago.  Love you Babes.




Wedding Day- Notice the veil in mid-air falling off :)

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...
