Today I am Five

Wow it is hard to believe that Spencer is 5 years old today. I look back to the day that we found out that we were expecting him. We tried for a year to get pregnant with him. What an amazing journey that was. I remember the day that I started to have contractions with him. We lived in Boise off of Maple Grove. I was doing my regular cleaning and all of a sudden I had these sharp contracting pains. I thought that felt weird. Then went on and as the day progressed they got worse. It was fun to think that I would have him. I tried to hold off until David got home but Iended up calling him a half hour before work. He came home and my cousin came and watched them. She said you don't look like you are in pain. I really don't have much pain until the last hour of labor. That was the case with him. I was dilated to 4cm when I got the hospital. I had him 3 hours later in the hospital. He was my biggest weighing in at 8lbs 9oz. I love him he has been such sweet spirit in our home. He has the best and kindest heart. Just a quick story about him, to show how loving he his. In primary every Sunday his teacher gives each of the kids a candy after class. Spencer never eats his candy, instead he gives it to his sister Maddie. Always with a smile and always his idea. At home he is always watching out for us if we are relaxing on the couch or watching a movie we are assured that Spencer will bring us a blanket and tuck us in. I love him a ton!!!!


He is always so kind and loving.
As I was typing just now he said to his Daddy" my mother is so beautiful" What a wonder 5 year that I have.!!!!
