it's a boy

I'M PREGNANT! *just joking* but spencer might feel like he's being birthed again into this world in 9 months this was taken right after spencer got set apart 15 months ago that's right 15 months ago, 9 to go, can you believe it? 9 months. i talked to spencer on christmas & it was fabulous. my favorite line that escaped his lips was when his oldest sister sara asked him "spencer what has changed the most?" or something to that drift spencer wittily replied "uh, you know the things that have changed the most are my hair and clothes" true, very clever spencer. i'm trying to get more readers on my blog people only like to read about babies and pregnancies hopefully announcing a fake pregnancy will catch your attention!

a new found love

president john f kennedy
    Of all the stories of American pioneers and settlers, none is more inspiring than the Mormon trail. The qualities of the founders of this community are the qualities that we seek in America, the qualities which we like to feel this country has, courage, patience, faith, self-reliance, perseverance, and, above all,
 an unflagging determination to see the right prevail.
let us remember that the Mormons of a century ago were a persecuted and prosecuted minority, harried from place to place, the victims of violence and occasionally murder, while today, in the short space of 100 years, their faith and works are known and respected the world around, and their voices heard in the highest councils of this country.     As the Mormons succeeded, so America can succeed, if we will not give up or turn back
- john f kennedy
and jackie o, i wanna be jackie o.

the invitation is valid

i am reading as much as i can, marvelous work and wonder,
jesus the christ, and I made a goal, me and my boys here are reading
1 or 2 chapters everyday in the book of John. just to read a little bit everyday,
not to read a whole lot in one day. ler e pensar.

The invitation is valid for you people too, read the book of john this christmas,
I did it last year for christmas I liked it, figured it´s a good idea to do this christmas too
