New Websites

I just want to let you know i have two new family sites.

Dad and Veniece's Site

jerrygriffinfamily.blogspot.com

and

Jen and Jasons's site (Gavin is so cute.)

jasonjensugar.blogspot.com


I'm not very good at keeping a journal but this is a great way for me to remember things and it's a great way for me to find out what is going on with others. I think Dad and Veniece are really going to love it and I guarantee jenny is going to love it when Gavin starts doing more and more things and she can blog about every single moment.

Thank you everyone who reads and comments on the blog. I swear i check everyone of your blogs every other day to see if you have anything new.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

September 10, 2008

Today is our anniversary and not much is going on. I took two days off last week and decided not to take today off. Patrick had class at 4 and went to 9. But he did get out early and so we called Katherine and she was willing to come and watch Audrey for an hour so we could go and get something to eat. We went to ihop. (ihop has a lot of fond memories for us and we wanted to re live them. while we were dating and even before we had Audrey we would go and do the midnight ihop run. Sometimes with friend and sometimes alone. And we went there to eat right after Patrick spontaneously proposed, without a ring. That was in March and the official proposal, with a ring, was in May.)

anyway i'm sure your bored.

If i have left anything major out please let me know.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick, and Audrey

Tennis Shoes

About 6 weeks ago I started working out at Curves.

I love it in case you want to know.

To help remind me to go I have my tennis shoes and socks next to the front door.

Audrey has watched me put the shoes and socks on and this is what we caught her doing yesterday with them.


She put my socks on which go up to her rear end and then she put my shoes on.

I just wanted to share the picture with you.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

A gift?

I have another wonderful Sunday story.

Yesterday was Regional Conference. And Although they were broadcasting it to most of the stake centers around to make it easier for families patrick and I decided that going was not the best option considering we both would have chosen to leave early because Audrey hates to be stuck in the same place for an extended amount of time. And it would have just been a frustrating experience. (don't judge me!)

But we needed to get out of the house somehow. All morning audrey had been carrying around a stuffed shark and exclaiming in a very very loud voice that it was a fishy. She was telling all who could hear all about her fishy fish. (Now Audrey has a really hard time saying her "F" sound she says it more of a "PH" sound and excentuates the "P" sound. So if you listen very very close it almost sounds like Witchy with a "B". It's Pretty funny but i don't want others to think i've taught her a bad word so we've been working on the "F" sound a lot!)

Anyway, Since she was so excited about this fish we thought it might be a good idea to visit some fishes. Pet Mart is about a block away and wanting to get out of the house we made a trip over to look at the fishes.

She loved it. She ran up and down the wall screaming fishy fishy fishy. And when she found a particularly interesting fish she would say "WOW fishy". It was pretty cute.

We then made our way around the rest of the store and saw all the other animals. The other animal she love to look at was the hamster. She would just scream whenever they would run around the cage. Good thing that we were the only people in there or we would have been annoying a lot of people.

After pets mart we needed to make a stop at moms to pick something up that we had forgotten. While over there we related to her all the details of the trip to pets mart. After about and hour or so we left to put audrey down for a nap and so that we could take our sunday nap (yes, the are a time honored tradition in this Spencer household.)

When we went back over for dinner later that evening this is what was sitting on the kitchen counter.



So that is the story of how we got

Remy-Buddy-Lemmiwinks-Scarface the hamster.

Thank you Grandma Cannon :)

So we need to put it to a vote.
