Summer has been a character this past week. We told her some news to keep secret and thought that she'd be able to do it because she is so good about not telling Spencer things that she finds out (i.e. Santa). Each day she came home from school she would confess to me that she told someone else our news. Then at Enrichment one of the mother's of her friend congratulated me. On Sunday we had all of the sisters in Relief Society for Mother's Day. I was conducting and getting to the portion called "Good News Minute." Some sisters shared a couple of things and then I was about to move on. A primary teacher in the back pointed to me and said that you have good news. I replied that we did and that Stuart got a job here and so we are staying. She said, "No, you have other news." I said Summer told everyone in Primary didn't she. She shook her head yes so I spilled the beans that I am expecting our 4th! We are very excited.
Summer has by far been the most excited. She wants a sister desparately. She has been coming up with names (as has Spencer...you can vote on the names that he chose at the side poll). It is a long list so I won't type them all, but one made us crack up..."Pansy." Great intentions, but definitely has the potential for disaster!
Spencer came home from school on Monday very excited because the girls were chasing him at recess. I got to volunteer in Spencer's class on Tuesday/yesterday and watched him follow the pack of girls holding cute little Ashley's hand. He really likes girls. On Sunday Summer was talking to Grandma Spendlove on the phone and mentioned that Aunt Sarah was there too. All giggly, Spencer said, "I want to marry Aunt Sarah." What a wonderful Aunt Sarah my kids have!
Now for Nephi...we go to the park a lot. He plays on the equipment for maybe a minute and then wants to go explore the grass/mud/anywhere that is off limits. At home he has been having a great time climbing on top of the boxes (for our move). I had to put the fragile things in the closet so that he couldn't destroy anything. He definitely keeps me on my toes.

That's too funny. Congratulations. When are you due? I loved Summer's story too!
Congrats you guys!! I feel like I can't keep up... Keep the updates coming.
I love updates on the kids. I know someone else that can't keep a secret either!!!
Congrats! A girl would be fun for Summer, but your boys are darling as well. I hope you have a 'quick', healthy pregnancy.
Congratulations! Lana was the same way with our baby, except she did manage to keep mum at church; however, everyone at school and gymnastics knew. Kate took care of church. Whenever she saw a baby, she would yell out, my mama has a baby in hers tummy. When are you due?
To answer when I am due:
I have an extremely weird cycle so I am just going to say Christmas time because that's my best estimate.
thanks so much for the congrats.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so excited for you! Have you been feeling well?
We are so excited for you guys! Such a blessing!
Haha didn't think that secret would last too long! Love you guys! Hope you are feeling well! And congrats again!!! We are SOO excited!!
CONGRATS!!! It sure hard to keep secrets when you are so excited!
Congratulations!
Sounds like your kids are as cute and entertaining as ever.
Congrats again on your new baby on the way. I'll hope for another neice too. Oh and Spence was so cute and funny when he told Stuart that he wants to marry me. I joked that at least one person wants to. I had a crush on my cousin Craig when I was Spencer's age, I bawled when he left on his mission. Funny.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!!
