Welcome W. Spencer Wagstaff!!!

This Memorial Day was extremely "memorable" for our family. Wendell Spencer Wagstaff joined our family at 12:15 am. Naomi woke up Sunday morning at 6:20 am with contractions. The contractions continued for 16 hours, ranging from 2 to 23 minutes apart. Since we were told that we should stay at home until the contractions were consistently 2-5 minutes apart, we stayed at home until 10:00 pm when Naomi's water broke. Luckily, Naomi's mom decided to come down to help out when she heard Naomi was having contractions. She arrived at 8:00 pm with Dad, Katie, and Cruizer (the family dog). We arrived at the hospital at 10:15 pm and Naomi was dilated to a 6. Her contractions after her water broke were extremely intense, and Naomi had an epidural at 10:45 pm. By that time, she had dilated to an 8. The epidural worked great, and she could hardly feel the contractions. At 11:20, she had completely dilated and began pushing. Spencer was born at 12:15 am at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo UT, weighing 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 20 in.


Naomi's mom, dad, and sister Katie were at the hospital. Kallista also showed up at the hospital to help deliver the baby even though she had to work at 6 am the next day. We were thrilled to have her there too. Devin's parents drove all night long from Sacramento to see Spencer. Thanks Mom & Dad. We had several other friends and family drop in to see us while we were at the hospital. It was great to share our new baby with them.




Wendell is a family name that goes back five successive generations in Devin's family (Devin, his dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa).

We will post more pictures soon, but we wanted to get something up as soon as possible for everyone to see.

We love you all and are so excited for each of you to meet baby Spencer.

Here we are. Lisa and I went to high school together, and were roommates at BYU. We've been friends a long time and its so nice to be apart of each other's lives.

Here are the four of us. It will be so fun to be married friends, together.

Baby Shower

My friends Kallista and Cathi gave me a baby shower at Bishop Jaimison's house. It was wonderful we had friends from our single's ward, my work, and some from all around.

Kallista and Cathi threw the shower.

Lots of friends. Thanks everyone for coming.

The Baby's Room!

We finally have our nursery just about finished. I'm still working on quilting the quilt and the crib bumper but. I thought I would add the picts we already have so you can see whats going on. This has been our project for the last couple of weeks! But we just love it.

We went with an Airplane- Vintage Red, White, and Blue Americana theme. To match the quilt that I made

Here is the quilt! It is a 12-square Suspender Sam pattern (which are the little boy squares) Each boy is holding a heart, kite, or balloon. Then I found a pattern for the airplanes. Its all Red-Blue- White, Vintage. I've been working on it for months and just love the way it turned out!

The room was certainly a project. This was Devin and my first attempt at painting anything by ourselves (without the mom's) so we got everything from Home Depot and got started. We did the bottom 1/3 in Navy (all by ourselves).
But then decided to let the experts come and help. Devin's Mom Gaylynne came and helped us do the matte/gloss cream stripes on the top 2/3s of the wall. They turned out fabulou! Thanks
Mom!

Then we put a cute red border in the middle (which we found for $4.00) and added the furniture. This is a beautiful wood dresser that we splurged on to match the beautiful crib Devin's parents bought for us. And look at my darling Lamp which we got from Aunt Shawna at the baby shower, it has an helicopter which matches the theme perfectly!
Our beatiful brand new Lazy boy rocking Chair that my parents bought for me for my b-day. It is so comfortable! We love it!

Here is the Crib, Sorry the picts a little dark, with the valence i made to match the quilt.

We are very excited for the room and can't wait to welcome our little boy home with it. 28 Days and counting!

Single's Ward Opening Social

As most of you know Devin got called to be the 2nd counselor in a BYU Single's Ward last December. It is a year calling.

Here are some picts from the Spring Opening Social that we just had. We are really enjoying being in the bishopric and are excited for the Spring semester!

Here I am enjoying burgers at the Bishop's House with some of my favorite members, Shannon, Derek, Mindy (who played an extra in the single's ward 2) and Sarah.
Has anyone ever heard of Lasso Golf? Well we played it tonigth, you have 2 tennis balls tied together and throw them across the yard like horse shoes to try to land on this white fence. Super Fun! Genna, Naomi, Brenna, and Russ are all making points!
Here is Devin eating with some fine members. We had the party on Cinco Day Mayo, which we didn't actually celebrate, so Devin brought his lucky sombrero to make it festive. He wore this hat during his finals (literally through all of them) So we will see come June 6th, when grades come out how lucky it really is. If you never see the sombrero in any more of our picts I guess you'll know not to ask how grades went :). We have high hopes he did fabulous.

Baking Cookies

Devin and I participated in the Law School mentoring program this year. Were the 5th graders from Wasatch Elementary came to the Law School once a week did activities with the law students. They neede more women, so I got the chance to participate. I got lucky and got two amazing girls to be with Mckala and Nicole.

And the best part is they happen to live just around the corner from us. So last friday they came over and made cookies with me. So much fun.


Here's Nicole getting ready to pour the flower in, McKaela is in the back showing off my cute Flamanco Apron.

Summer Plans

So apart from Funerals. We actually have been making a few plans for the summer- YEA!

Devin will working at the Law Library Research Desk full time for the Spring, attempting not to be a financial burden on his family, as he says he has hither to been. :). So that will be great. He is looking forward to an 8-4pm job for a few weeks.

The rest of the summer Devin will be commuting up to SLC to do an externship with a large mountain west Law Firm called Hollard and Hart. Which he will earn credit and a great resume opportunity.

Devin also got an invitation to participate in Moot Court and the International Arbitration Team next fall. He is also hoping to join a law journal next semester, so he will be super busy next fall. He gets class credit for his work (6 credits per semester). The best part is that he will get to go to Hong Kong or Austria next March to compete in an international competition. It should be very exciting.
So we are really excited about both of those.

I on the other hand will be working up until our baby is born and then becoming a full time mom, which I am looking forward to, although I have to admit a little anxious about. I also might sneak away to Hawaii to show the baby off to my little sister in July when my Parents and younger siblings go.

Its been nice to finally finalize plans! Hope you all are doing great!

Funerals, Funerals, and More Funerals

So this month my family had a month of funerals. March 19th My Grandpa Root passed. The day of his funeral we got a phone call that my Grandma Smith passed away. So this last month Devin and I went to San Diego and then the next weekend I flew to LA (Devin had to stay and study) for the next funeral. I'm really grateful my work was understanding adn that I got to spend some wonderful time with my family.

y Family, Ben, Peter, and my Dad are in the back, then in the front, Devin, Naomi, Mom, Darlene, and Katie. Darlene came over from Hawaii for the Funeral. And Ben came down for a quick trip just before his Masters was due! Hope that went well Ben!

Amongst the Funerals Devin adn I also had a near death experience when we almost got swallowed by a Shark at the Scripp's Aquarium in San Diego.
Beautiful San Diego

2 really cute sisters. It was so nice to have a few days to spend with Darlene who lives in Hawaii.

Grandma Smith's Funeral was in Los Angelas. Here is the whole Smith clan at Rose Hill Crest Cemetery. Which I thought was one of the most beautiful cemetery in the world. All of the gravestones were flat and the land was green rolling hills with lots of palm trees. It will be a nice resting place for Grandma.

All the Smith's Cousins.

The brothers and uncles being Palm Bearers carring Grandma's Caskett.
Grandma had a beautiful pink caskett. On her program was the sweet quote by Grandpa "Carole Ellen Ash The most beautiful girl in the world."

Katie-Anne and Naomi - Two cute sisters. It was fun seeing my family two weekends in a row even if it wasn't for the happiest of reasons.

After the funeral we went around the LA area (Temple City) and saw where my Grandma Smith grew up. Here is my dad and his siblings in front of the house, with his siblings and Aunt Mary (Grandma Smith's sister.

Here is the house that my dad grew up in. My grandma and Grandpa bought the house three months before they got married for $8,500. They lived here for the first 20 years of their life.
