You Say it's Your Birthday!

Happy 6th Birthday, Spencer! I cannot believe that you are six years old. You have been the biggest blessing to our family. I can't imaging life without you, my little dreamboat! (Yes, he is a Mama's boy...can you tell?)
Anyway, Spencer is such a great boy. He is the most resourceful boy I know.
Example: He got some new Pokemon this morning. Instead of throwing away the packaging, he cut out all the pictures and then found a clothespin to hook them onto the lamp for a decoration for his party tomorrow. He got a new Pokemon shirt from Grammy and immediately looked at the tag and said, "Mama, I think I can use this to decorate my room...or for a bookmark."
He has the biggest heart.
Example: At least threee times a week, Spencer talks to me about when he's a Dad. And his biggest concern with that is that he won't be here with me. So he tells me (putting on his brave face), "Mama, when I'm a Dad, we will come see you every single holiday and birthday because I will miss seeing you." Now tell me, what kid says that?
He melts my heart. He is such a good boy who has no problem telling the neighbors that we don't swim on Sundays because that is a holy day. He prays every night about being baptized. If I make a dinner that he hates, he will never tell me he doesn't like it. He doesn't like to hurt anyone's feelings.
Spencer I love you. Happy Birthday my little dream boat!

BIGGEST LOSER

I decided to start up my own Biggest Loser competition with some of my friends. We thought it would be fun to put in $20.00 each and whoever wins will get all the money. So, we were figuring about 4-5 of us would do it. Well, word spread like wild fire (you know how mormons can be :o) and we ended up with 19 people! Crazy! So the jack pot is now $380.00. Holy Moly, that is some serious cash.
So, we just had our third weigh in and I am happy to report that I have lost 10 pounds. Wohoo! Our final weigh in is July 4th. Wish me luck and I will keep you posted...all four of you who read my little blog! When the final weigh in comes I will post before and after pictures...I know you cannot wait.
I am feeling better, I must admit. Tomorrow I am running in the 5k Race For The Cure. It should be fun, especially because I know I can run that far and not have a heart attack.
