Baby Spencer Finally Arrived!

    What an amazing week this has been!  9 months ago I found out my sweet sister Whitney was pregnant with her second baby.  We were thrilled when we found out it was going to be a boy!  Finally it was time to meet him and we couldn't wait!!!!

    Wednesday morning I went to the gym and then headed to work at Dr. Johansens.  After work Blake and I headed to the Draper temple to do sealings with our ward.  I love doing sealings so that we can sit together and hold hands!  After I had a major turkey burger craving so we went straight to Carls Junior.  We spent the rest of the night working on our talks we were going to give on Sunday.  I was sooo nervous to give my talk!  

    Thursday I worked out in Centerville.  When I got home Blake and I changed into our church cloths and headed to Blake's cousin Brittany's wedding.  She looked gorgeous and she and her new hubby Stanford looked so happy.  We are so excited for them.  After dinner some of the girls in the fam went for a super late dinner at Porcupine Grill.  After dinner I went to Grammy's with Nicole and her girls for a "creepover" (how Merdi says sleepover haha).  We stayed up pretty late having some girl talk. We all adore Grammy and love spending time with her!  
The girls made a little bed with blankets and slept on the floor by grammy's bed.  Nicole and I snuggled up all night in a little double bed haha it was great!  

    In the morning we had breakfast and lounged around the house.  I kept waiting to hear from Whit to see what time she was going to be induced.  It was supposed to be early in the morning and kept getting pushed back further and further.  My poor sister was so frustrated and just wanted to get that baby out!  I went to the gym and did some cleaning around my house.  Finally around 2:30 Whit got the call to come in!  She had to do a strep treatment and then start her induction.  When Blake got home we went to dinner with Nick, Kesh and the boys at TGIFridays.  I kept calling my mom to get the updates.  Whit was progressing super fast.  She had an epideral and wasn't feeling to much.  When I found out she was fully effaced and dialated to an 8 I made Blake speed to the hospital and drop me at the door.  I barely got into the room before Dr. Terry said it was go time.  Whit let me stay in the room and it was literally one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!  I am so proud of my amazing sister.  She got him out in 2 1/2 pushes and made it looks WAAAAY too easy!  Spencer Calvin Woolley was born on February 24 2012 around 9:24 am, weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and 21.5 inches long.  He is perfect and we are all absolutely in love.  I love holding him more than anything in the world! 
GO TIME!!!
Dr. Terry is amazing!
He's here!
 Meeting mommy for the first time!
 Daddy taking pictures to show off his adorable new son!!!!
 Hi baby Spencer!
 SO Freezing!!!
 Official weight
 Mom looking amazing!  Seriously who looks like that after having a baby?!?!
 The new Woolley family
 Sadie has been counting down the minutes to meet her new baby brother!  Grandma Jeanette (Eddie's mom) was watching her while mom and dad were at the hospital.
 Such a good big sister!
 Already trying to share her toys
 We all got to go to the nursery to watch the nurses give Spencer some shots and take footprints.  The kids were in awe!
Easton smooshed his face against the glass and was in awe! 
Sadie put a stuffed dog in Spencer's bed before he went to the nursery so he's have a toy to play with in there haha!
 Our precious little bundle of joy
 The Woolleys
Sadie couldn't stop touching him! 
 First tubby time.......not a fan
 Finally awake
 She loves her new baby!
 So do we!
 The new big sister
 Of course we had to deck him out in his Ute gear early!
 Oh they grow up too fast! O Pinterest you have so many brilliant ideas!
 This is what happens when you leave Aunt RyRy alone with your baby......

    Saturday morning Blake was dying to play rugby with some friends.  They needed one more guy, Chet, to have enough to play but he was tending his kids and couldn't leave them.  They are the cutest boys ever so I volunteered to watch them so the boys could play.  Benson slept the whole time and Bronx taught me all about animals haha!  After the boys were done Blake and I went to visit Spencer again so I could get my baby fix.  I went to the gym and Blake went to the park with one of his cousins to teach him some rugby basics.  That night we went down to Provo with Blake's fam to see Jamyn's little sister in Cougarettes in concert.  We had a delicious dinner before at PF Changs and then headed to the show.  It was super fun and they did a great job!

    This morning Blake and I had to give new move in talks in church.  I was soooo nervous and was so relieved when it was finally over!  The only thing I do enjoy about speaking in church is getting to listen to Blake.  He is an amazing speaker!  Our parents, Scott and Lindsay came to support us, so nice!  We love our new ward and continually getting to know more and more people!

    I'm already craving some more Spencer time and am sure I'll be spending a lot of time there this week!!!!

Snowmobile Trip

    Another busy week full of fun!  With the long weekend I didn't get a chance to update my blog on Sunday but I'll hurry and catch the blog up to speed!

    Monday I worked at Dr. Sands and then went to boot camp after, which once again kicked my booty! We went to Sandy's for dinner and had some yummy curry while we watched The Bachelor.

    Tuesday was Valentine's Day and I woke up at the crack of dawn so I could make my husband's favorite crumb cake for him for breakfast........like we're talking 5:30!  He woke up to the smell of his favorite breakfast and decided to take it in the hot tub haha only my husband!  I went to Dr. Johansens and then to the gym after.  I ran to Mrs. Field's after to pick up my special order for the hubs.  I got his favorite white chocolate chunk cookie with a Valentine message and I surprised him at work!  He was very surprised and excited:)
That night the husband took me out to dinner at Ruby River.  My husband knows how I love my steaks!  We went to see The Vow after which was so good!  Nothing like a good chick flick!

    Wednesday morning Blake decided to go for another early morning hot tub before work haha.  I worked at Dr. Johansen's and then went to boot camp again.  We had a sub and it was ok but I like our regular teacher much more!  When Blake got home we grabbed some dinner at Cafe Rio and then went to visit Nick, Kesh and the boys.  Poor Easton had a horrible ear ache and all he wanted was to snuggle Blake.  Blake loooooves that boy and was more than happy to cuddle!

    Thursday it was time for the UDA dental convention.  I still can't believe it has already been a year, WOW!  It was so fun seeing all my hygiene friends and catching up on life, I miss those girls so much!  After the 1st session we grabbed lunch at Blue Lemon.
The 2nd session was harder because we were so sleepy after lunch!  I drove with my friend Ashlee and when we came out to my car there was a parking ticket.......because I put my money in the morning in the wrong slot :( I was sooooo pissed and wrote an appeal the minute I walked in the door!  The relief society president came by to meet us that night and then we had a yummy homemade dinner of chicken cordon blue casserole.  I also started making some homemade cinnamon rolls to take on our trip with us while we packed.  They were from scratch and Blake said they were delish, I was pretty proud!

    Friday morning I went to the gym and did some more packing.  I went to Pres and Sandy's that afternoon to help pack the car.  When Blake got off work we all jumped in the suburban (Pres, Sandy, Scott, Lindsay, Jamyn and Preston) and headed up to Island Park.  We stay at my Aunt Sandy and Uncle Dan's cabin.  They built this cabin in 2009 and it is AMAZING!  We are soooo lucky they let us trade with them and use it!  We stopped in Pocatello for dinner at Golden Corral.  Poor Jamyn got super sick and threw up in the bathroom.  Finally we arrived and all our bums were sore and sick of sitting.  We unloaded and snuggled up by the fire.

    Saturday we got up early and to go rent our snowmobiles.  Chase and Taylor came along and took turns riding with different adults.  This is Blake and Taylor:

And Travis with Chase

Taylor was so excited!
 Even though it snowed the whole time we had a blast!
 Part way through the day Preston's machine broke and so we loaded it into the company's car and they fixed it while we ate lunch at Island Park Lodge.
 The food was pretty good but the service was AWFUL!  They were so cranky!  After lunch we went on another long ride.  It was sooo much fun!  We rode over 65 miles that day!  
 Me and Jamyn love our balaclava's Nana gave us to keep our faces warm!
Macie got to ride with Daddy to turn the machine back and she was super excited!
  When we got home we put dinner in the oven.  We had lasagna and salad.  We were all exhausted and took it easy the rest of the night.  We brought Telestrations and played it for a bit.  That game always is good for a few laughs!

    Sunday morning we went to church in jeans and snowboots haha.  There was over 1,200 that came, it was insane!  Every class room, the hallways, choir seats behind the speaker were full it was crazy!  After church we had some lunch and then Pres, J, Blake and I went for a ride.  The girls rode on back and held on for dear life.  We headed over to visit some friend, Chet and Shalie.  We all went for a little ride together.  It's definitely much scarier riding on the back of a snowmobile, but thank goodness my husband is an awesome driver!
 We ate leftovers for dinner in the cabin and had another laid back night.  Out of nowhere I got super restless and needed to get outside ASAP!  My cute husband pulled me on a tube behind the 4-wheeler for an hour, I was in heaven hahah my husband loves his 10-year old wife!  We went sledding on a little hill and made snowangels.  It was a perfect evening!

    Monday morning Pres and Blake went for a boys run on the snowmobiles and then pulled each other on the tube.  It was much rougher than my ride!  They have WAAAY to much fun together!
 We had lunch and then cleaned up the cabin.  We were so sad to leave!  It's the perfect cabin and we can't wait to go again!
 We made it home in pretty good time!  That night we went to Texas Roadhouse for my dad's 60th birthday!  That food was amazing as always! My dad didn't want to ride the birthday saddle so the grandkids did it for him!
We stayed for almost 3 hours chatting and reminescing over the years with my dad!  What an amazing life we've had together!
 This boy is the biggest sugar monster EVER!
I love him so much and am so grateful for all our fun memories together!

    Today I worked at Dr. Johansen's and then went to the gym.  I ran to the grocery store and then made some dinner.  I made a spinach lemon totellini pasta and it was so-so.  I guess we can't win them all.....  What a fun President's weekend enjoying the snow!  We had a blast and are so grateful for both our fun families!
