4 days left!


I had to take a picture with my friend, Lili, who is due 4 days after me. I am due on Sunday, so we hurried and took a picture together before one of us pops!

Sterling's wedding






Sterling is Spencer's little brother. He just got married last weekend to RaeAnn in Phoenix. I am so happy I was able to attend even though it was only a week before I was due. I look lovely up in the front of all the pictures! Spencer was all happy picking that spot for us. I should have just hid in the back! RaeAnn's sister was also as pregnant as I was, so that made me feel a little bit better.

Yuma Trip




Yuma is where Spencer's parents live. It is the hottest city in the U.S. And if you've ever driven to San Diego on I-8 (I think it's I-8), you've probably stopped for lunch or dinner in Yuma. Anyway, we visited the family in April and went to the fair. Spencer's sister's, Stacey and Shaley, showed and sold their pigs there. There is a picture of Stacey cleaning her pig. Doesn't look like the best of times to me! But we love visiting Yuma.

SOMETHING ABOUT SPENCER

I got tagged to write things about Spencer, so here it goes:



A -ATV of choice? No idea
B - Born? June 1979
C-Cookies or Candy? Cookies or candy, as long as they have peanut butter or caramel in them.
D-Date of Choice when you go out? Dinner- something cheap or free
E-Essential Item? Cell Phone or shoes (he always wears shoes, even in the house-his feet are beautiful)
F-Favorite Foods? I make a good pineapple chicken and rice dinner that he gets all excited about, and he loves vanilla ice cream. Because we're in Arizona, tacos in Mexico are high on his list.
G-Gas or Diesel vehicle? Gas
H-Hobbies? reading the newspaper, playing soccer or racquetball, and like Debbie's husband Matt, creating excel spreadsheets
I-Ice Cream Flavor? vanilla
J-Job? Real Estate accounting and financial consulting at Ernst and Young
K-Kids? 2, almost 3
L-Last Vacation as a couple? We went to D.C. with my sister, Debbie, and her husband Matt last summer.
M-Morning person or night owl? Both-he doesn't need very much sleep
N-Number of Siblings? 3 brothers and 2 sisters, he is 2nd oldest.
O-OCD or sloppy? OCD-I can never iron or fold the clothes just right, and I have to button his shirts at least 3 buttons when I hang them up. His socks are color coordinated as well.
P-Pet Peeves? Proportions: if I slice cheese or tomatoes or anything else too big for meals, he hates that! And in general, he just hates it when people do stupid things.
Q-Quiet or Loud? quiet
R-Restaurant? Anything cheap but good
S-Sports? soccer, football, hockey, racquetball
T-Tight wad or spender? Tight wad when it comes to things for us, and a spender when it comes to charity. Isn't he just a saint? I'm just the opposite!
U-Unknown Fact about him? He seems nice and quiet and un-opinionated, but in reality, he has an opinion about everything
V-Vegetables? He loves them
W- Worst Habit? gulping his water, making him burp a lot (Spencer doesn't think this is the cause, but I know it is)
X-Xtra Curricular activities in high school? Wrestling, football, choir, tennis, student council, work
Y-Your favorite things about him? He is always so helpful with the children and patient and loving with me. He will do anything for me-I probably take advantage of that, but he doesn't seem to mind.
Z-Zodiac Sign? Gemini
