Update!

I know that it has been a while so I thought that I would do an update on the Spencers. We are doing great. We went to Moab with all our friends last month and had a great time. On our way home the rear end of Pats truck went out and we barely made it home. It ended up costing us $2000 to fix, which was cheap thanks to our friend Shawn. So that took up all the money we had saved to get a new roof. I told Pat that when the roof starts to leak we would just go and get dry in his truck!

As some of you may know, we have been trying to have a baby now again for almost a year and a half. We were told that the only way we could was by IVF, so we tried in May. It was not any fun at all. The day after the retreival we got a call that we had 10 fertilized eggs and that everything was looking great and we were set for a transfer on Tuesday. We then got a call on Sunday from the doctor and were told that none of the embryos had devided like they were supposed to, and by Tuesday they had all seized, they dont know why and it doesnt happen often. I have to say that was one of the worst moments in my life. After a very difficult week, we have decided to try one more time. If it doesnt work again, then I will have Pat get fixed and we will be done. I dont want any 40th birthday surprises. I guess that God always has a plan, and it will either happen or not. We are very happy either way.

On a more positive note, Danica is almost potty trained. We bought her some princess panties because that is what she is inot right now, and a princess sticker book. The first day was a little ruff, but she tells us when she has to go and hasnt had an accident for a while. My hopes are way up, this is very hard and very time consuming. But Olivia from watching sister i think is kind of getting it, so after a while we will try and work on her. I dont know how people do more than one kid at a time. I would gladly pay somebody to come to my home and just do it for me.

My goal is to try and keep this updated better this summer, Good luck to me!

Jen!!
I so feel for you and Pat trying to have another baby! My husband and I have had two miscarriages in 14 months. It is brutal. But I agree that God has a plan!
It's so great to see you on here and get little updates on your lives. I love that you and Pat are still together with a beautiful family!
