This morning Thomas came into my room to talk to me and have me help him with his train while I was still "sleeping." He opened the book of Mormon on my nightstand and when I asked him to put it back he said, "I wanna read it." He then opened it up and said, "And it came to pass dik a dik a dika Jesus. The end." Well I finally "woke up" and got us both breakfast. Thomas chose Chex and so I went along with him. When I put our bowls in the sink there were three cereal bowls before it. Knowing there are only 3 of us eating solid foods in our household you may find this interesting. This is the second morning in a row Thomas has gotten up with John and had cereal, and then had cereal with me an hour later. The fifth bowl was my "midnight" snack. Mmmm. Thomas also said the prayer for breakfast this morning all by himself with lots of dis dis dis dis dis' in between sentences. I couldn't understand what he was saying, and ju...

Today I drove down to central Utah and spent the day with family for my Grandpa's funeral. It was a beautiful day, with flowers, humorous stories, and friendly faces. Finally I am beginning to remember some of my Mom's cousins names and faces, as well as some of her Aunts and Uncles. I've decided that I like funerals because of the opportunity to share and learn more about the deceased person's whole life. The stories, experiences, and jokes that were shared helped me to appreciate the loving faithful man my Grandpa was and is and to remember and believe that he lives in Heaven and continues to live beyond this life.

So . . . as I was rinsing split peas I began to feel the weight of the impossible resolution to read a book each week for 2010. Actually just to read 52 books by December 31st. As John said, sounds like a busy month for you. Then I remembered that I revised it to 24 books for 2010 and I felt much better.

Ring around the Rosies! They all fall down! Presents! Happy Birthday To You! Thanks for coming!

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...
