The first Weatherspoon home page is here. It was a pain in the butt debugging our first page. You'd think that the microsoft frontpage 2000 editor would allow .wmv files, but no. We hope that you guys enjoy your first digital round mountain tour. If you like explosions and big toys, this is the site for you.

Congrats to Juliette and Chris. We are excited Andy sister is comming for the week and it should be a lot of fun. We are working on a web page to let you all see where we live and we put some cool pictures and video of Andy's work. He is really excited. We just have to get our internet service to get on the ball and get us set up so we can upload it for you. If you haven't heard Lesti is on complete bedrest maybe until she has the baby. She should be in our prayers. Juliette & Chris UNR has a great program you should move to Reno. It is right by Lake Tahoe. Plus believe it or not there is a lot of jobs here in Nevada for Ecology majors. Abby is doing swimming lessons with 4 yr. olds she is the smallest one but she can do the stuff. She loves the water and is quite a fish. she can do the dead man's float quite well. The only problem the swim teachers have with her is keeping her from going under when it isn't her turn. Brock is standing up on everything and is trying to learn to walk. I guess crawling isn't getting him where he wants to go fast enough. Andy and I have started jogging. We are looking to get bikes at some point but can't afford them right now. Well that is all. Have a great day everyone.

Hello family, I had the big ultrasound today and found out that we are to expect another boy! I was hoping for a little girl this time- but a healthy baby boy is great too. I really feel blessed to be having him, I had wondered if I could have any more for a while. I guess we only need one more, and Chris can have his own basketball team!

We are trying to enjoy our last few weeks of summer while it lasts, both of us are going to attend school in the fall. Chris is a senior taking 15 credits, and I am a junior taking 10. Put two kids under four, and one coming the end of November and we have ourselves a party! I feel lucky to be able to attend school, Chris has almost always been able to switch off with me taking care of the kids so they have never been in daycare. I hope to finish in the spring with an associates in History. That is basically just so that I don't lose all the credits I have taken if I don't go back to school for a while. Chris finishes in the spring also, with a bachelors in Ecology and will be attending graduate school in the fall. We don't know where yet, but with family in most of the north western states, we could go almost anywhere and be close to someone! Chris' favorites right now are Utah State, Colorado State, University of Idaho, and Montana State.

It is really nice to hear all the updates from everyone...the phone bill gets expensive if we try to call everyone! Good luck on your jewlery show Ruth! I am sure you will make a bundle. Ben, we have been riding our bikes more religiously now, thank you for helping the family back to the healthy road...:) Seriously, it is good to think about those things more often. I have gained about 9 lbs already and feel like a blimp. Hopefully next spring I can really get going and excercise more.

Ben, what is Jango Fett?

Anyone thought about where they will be for Thanksgiving yet? I think we will try to go to moms, if this baby doesn't decide to come real early anyway. I guess that is all I can think of for now...
