Poor little blog, so neglected

My blog hasn't really been feeling the love lately.  Maybe it's because not a ton of interesting things are happening at the moment.  Life is great, though not hugely noteworthy just now.  We've just been going to class, working some, looking for a summer job, and oohing and ahing over all of Spencer's new exploits.  He's finally big enough for the baby backpack, so we should get to go hiking this summer.  We just picked up a family-sized tent at Target the other day so camping should be happening too.  Bill hasn't found a summer job yet, which could be stressful, but mostly I'm just really enjoying that we get to spend a lot of time together.  He's so busy during the school year, so that has been really nice.  A bit of money would be nice too, so hopefully something will work out on the job front soon, but I've decided I might as well enjoy the moment instead of getting buried under stress.  That's totally not worth it.

I played the organ in church today.  It went well, but I got last minute notice last night that I would need to play since all of my organists were out of town or I couldn't reach them.  I didn't have time to practice on the organ, so I couldn't play the pedal part, but I just played without it and it went fine.  I taught Young Womens too and I actually felt like the lesson went pretty well.  The girls are pretty hard to get to comment, but they got involved a bit today and that was nice. 

We took naps tonight and they were wonderful!  Of course now it's super late and we need to go to bed, but oh well. :)  Anyway, here's  a couple fun pictures from recent days.

Spencer fell asleep after enjoying a little light reading :)

We are ready for some hiking!

Spencer is a big fan of playing airplane

Enjoying our new tent.  Spencer thinks it's fantastic :)

Spence likes to play with our faces.  It's cute.

Good News

I babysat for a friend in my ward yesterday.  I played in the yard with her kids for a couple hours.  Bill even came along after a while to enjoy the sun.  Just a simple little thing, but we came away with more than we expected.  See, we have this cute apartment we live in, but it's not really that big and it doesn't have a washer/dryer.  We are going to be around Prove at least 2 or 3 more years and we love our ward, so even without the washer/dryer we expected to stay in our apartment until Bill finished school.  That is, unless we found a better place still in our ward.  It's only 3 blocks by 2 blocks big, so the chances didn't seem high that would happen.  Except that after the little babysitting trip yesterday, it looks like it has!  See, it turns out this family is going to be moving and their house will be available.  That's right, I said house. Not apartment.  It's a 3-bedroom house with a yard and a washer/dryer in it so we don't even have to buy one.  Oh, and did I mention that it costs less for rent and utilities than our current rent alone?  Yeah, that's right.  Bill and I are pretty much ecstatic.  We'd really love to be able to buy a house, but that's not going to happen for several years, but this is a definite step up in the right direction for us.  Yay! 

Oh, and in other news, Spencer's hair is officially long enough for him to have woken up this morning with bed hair.  I tried to take a picture, but it didn't really show.  Just think mini faux-hawk.  It's so cute. Here's a few pictures of his favorite things to do these days.

1. Hold things

 2. suck on his fingers

 3. Sit up

And a four generation shot from Easter(s) :)

Clothes Shopping

Bill was so nice and spent the afternoon yesterday with me clothes shopping.  He gave me money for Christmas and I've gotten some graduation money that I am using to get myself a new wardrobe.  I looked in my closet the other day and realized I have three short-sleeved shirts.  Summer is going to be a problem if I don't do something about that.  So we went shopping and I picked up several shirts and a couple sweaters that were on huge sale at the moment.  The shirts I got were cute, but they were seriously the only ones we found.  We went to pretty much every store in the mall and the clothes at the moment are just not calling to me.  Why is it that whenever I actually have money to spend, I don't find anything I want to buy?  I'm trying to branch out for t-shirts and jeans.  I'm pretty tired of that look.  Where are good places to get cute clothes?
