Shopping... thanks to Spencer

Our crew leaving the store with all of our gear!

Some of my friends have asked me what it's like to have a son playing in the NFL. I really don't feel any different and at times it is even hard to believe. Because Spencer lives in Denver and plays his home games there, then travels all over the country to play, I haven't been able to watch him play in person yet. I did go to a pre-season game with the Cardinals last year in Glendale, but I just watch him on t.v. One of the perks for him is that he gets endorsement money from Reebok. He is really nice to share that money with us by letting us go shopping for free. Yesterday Mindi, Candi and B.J., Jenn and I went to Arizona Mills Mall to go shopping at the Reebok Outlet for FREE! We did it last year and it was so fun. His agent sets it up for us to get a certain amount of money to buy stuff and boy does it help. We mainly got shoes, socks, sports bras for Candi (thank heavens), and miscellaneous other shirts and hats. It took us over two hours but we sure had fun. B.J. helped a lot and watched the kids while we wandered around the store. They also went and saw Santa Clause and then we ate lunch. After a ride on the carousel we hit a couple other stores and came home. I know this year is tough for lots of families because of the economy we feel so blessed to have the opportunity to get some necessary items without having to go in debt. It is nice to have a son who is so generous with his family. Each one of our children try to serve when needed and give of their time and talents. We are truly blessed.
