Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Going Private

Hey friends, after seeing some creepy comments on the blog, I think we need to go private also. So please put your email on our comments page and I will be sure to add you, or email me your email and I will add you. I will try to add as many of you as I have addresses for also. Thanks for your help in helping continue to share our family with you.

I will probably do this after the holidays!

Love,

Devin, Naomi, and Spencer

Spencer's Christmas Picts








We took Spencer to the mall and got some darling pictures of him. I have to brag just a bit, spencer is the smiliest boy out there and these pictures did not quite capture the best smile he has ever had, but they are pretty darn cute!

Christmas Outfit







My Aunt Cheryl gave us this adorable green stripe Christmas Outfit, I tried it on Spencer today, and just fell in love with it. It makes him look like a Christmas Elf.


I was trying to take pictures of Spencer and he was just so happy and excited he wouldn't stop moving. so here is an action shot.


Here is a close up, of our cute kid.


Up until Thanksgiving Spencer has had a big open mouthed smile, and since thanksgiving he has started having this really chessey grin. It is so cute he makes me laugh. He is such a happy smiling boy (when he has been fed and had a nap that is).

Lights at the Pond



So Salem is a small town South East of Spanish Fork that is built around a pond. It really is an adorable town. For Christmas they put up a big lights fest featuring the pond. They build lights shaped as Christmas Trees onto barges and float them all over the pond. With the reflection that the pond provides it is an amazing sight.

We went and saw the lights with Dave and Kallista last Friday and then went and had a yummy dessert at Cold Stone (The Stake Pres. gave Devin a gift card to Cold Stone for his birthday (which was in August- we just never got around to using it). So that was a fun one.
