French Family Fun

It's been a tradition that every summer Spencer's family gets together for a few days. We headed up to Idaho a day early to make sure we got to see the great grandparents. It was their first time seeing Bree and it was good to talk to them as well.

This year we went to Island Park Idaho for some 4-wheelin', hot tubin' and boatin'. We all rented a cabin on Bills Island where everyone stayed. Thursday night we played the newly-wed game. It was fun to see how well we knew our spouses. Not really sure who won, but it didn't matter because we all got prizes from Spencer.

Friday we kind of got a slow start to the day but we were out on the lake by 2. The kids and the adults for a matter of fact had a blast being pulled on the tube by the boat. That night everyone did their family skits. All were way cute!

Before we knew it, it was Saturday morning - our last full day. That morning we went to Big Springs to feed the seagulls…I mean fish. Later that day we were back on the boat. This time I got on the tube with Ebony, Emily and Hannah. We had so much fun!

Sunday morning we ended our trip with a little spiritual meeting. It was the perfect ending to a perfect trip. I know that both Spencer and I enjoyed time with everyone and Kate had a blast with her cousins. Bree did well too. In fact, she was definitely spoiled with all the loves, hugs, and holdings she got. We are so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful family! Can't wait until next year!!!

Great Grandparents

Grandpa & Grandma Scott

Grandma Donna

Boating

The Camp out

Yes that's Kate on the Tube with Spencer and Hannah and Logan.

The boys

Just got on the boat and she's out

3 hours of boating can do wonders for a gals hair

Nice clean and crystal clear water... pretty sure anyone who got on the tube swallowed a mouth full -YUM!

The Girls

The boys talkin smack about not being thrown off yet. Little did they know Emily had a secret weapon...

Her bad A tat she got from Cory. And yes she through off Logan.

Skits

Logan, Hannah and Chase danced to "Evolve". Chase was the cutest monkey around

We were Alvin and the Chipmunks and sang "We are Family". Kate was so done with the song after listening to it the whole way up to Idaho, she exited stage left right away. Luckily Hannah got a picture before she left.

Cam's group danced to Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Half way through I heard a shout out from Cory saying he was better. Awe yes, maybe so in his glory days but they had Gage doing the "thriller" moves too and he's only 3.

Adam's group did a funny skit about JC Penny's. They had us all laughing.

Cory and Becky A.K.A Chief tub-a-love and Indian Princess Talk-a-lot danced to Indian music while Logan read a story Becky wrote. They were AWESOME!

Terry and Ebony did the song "You for Me and Me for You" I have to give Terry a 10 for not only knowing the song this year but singing it out loud too. Ebony only got about 5 words in due to laughing too hard and her teeth not staying in her mouth.

Random Fun

4-wheeler rides - Cory hasn't been on one in who knows how long - Go Cory!

The kids loved the hot tub.

You didn't think Spencer would leave his Mistress, Bertha Blackberry behind, did you?

Cam and Em did a cute fishing game with the kids and Cory and Becky - Kate got a cute purple pet shoppe. Thanks Cam and Em!

Cory got a pack of fake Tattoos that he was so kind to share with everyone.

Big Springs

Feeding the fish...kind of

My nifty contraption to carry the little bambina around

What a good lookin' group!

Dipper Duty

This is a first for both Cory and Bree. Both did a really good job.

Games

We played some of the Win It in a Minute games. It was a lot of fun.

What's She Thinkin'?

Kate has said and done some pretty funny things and I'm afraid that I'll forget them so I am writing them here where everyone can enjoy them.

10-12-12 Spencer picked up Kate from school today and she proceed to tell him that she told her whole class our phone number. Spencer was shocked because he didn't think she even knew our cell numbers. So he asked her to tell him and she quickly replied "2". 2 is Spencer and my speed dial for each other. Ha!

5-18-11 We got some lunch at Del Taco where the kids could play. There was a boy with long hair playing there too and Kate says in front of everyone, "Mom, hers a boy, for real !" The little boys mom just chuckled.

4-24-11 It was Easter Sunday and Kate asked about the Resurection... the rest of the convo went like this...

Kate: Mom what's the resurection?

Me: It's when you come back to life after you die

Kate: what does that look like?

Me: Oh it's pretty

Kate: So it's Pink?

3-20-11 Kate got some Barbies from a neighbor family who now has older children. She's been playing with non-stop and when Spencer asked her the name of one of the Barbies she quickly replied, "oh her name is Porky". That Barbie is sure to have a complex now.

3-20-11 Spencer and Kate were talking about the garden we want toplat this year and Kate said this... "Daddy, I want to grow a hugen pumpkin and call it Humpkin"

2-10-11 Kate and my mom were talking about riding horses and my mom asked Kate what her horses name was, she took a second to think about it and then replyed, "He's a pink horse named blue. "

9-29-10 Kate was in a bad mood and wanted something that I wasn't going to get her so she gave me the stink eye and then said,"mommy i'm magic and going to disapear from here and then ride my bike to get a treat at the store with daddy!".

9-17-10 Kate is in Spencer's football pool and she makes her picks each week by pointing to the team she wants to win. The other day she was coloring and Spencer was reading off the teams and Kate was telling him who she wanted.

Spencer: Jets or Patriots?

Kate: humm.... Jets because they're in the bathtub

Spencer: What?

Kate: daddy i said Jets because they're in the bathtub!

We have a jetted tub that kate likes to play in and turn on the "jets" and once he remembered that it was just common sense to pick the Jets... because they're in the bathtub.

7-26-10 Kate was telling me how she wanted someone to play with. I told her that I would play with here but she looked at me with her big eyes and said, "no mommy, not you. I want someone little like Brooke, Austin, or D-Bo." (D-bo is my dad)

5-9-10 After church we decided to go to the park. When I asked Kate which park she wanted to go to she said the red one. I told her I didn't know where that one was and then she said... "It's in utah idaho american south." Got it.

10-4-09 Spencer asked Kate if she wanted some ice-cream and she replied, "I sure do!"

10-1-09 Kate was in the tub while I was getting ready when I heard her singing like Ariel, "ah ahh ahh, ahh ah ahhh". When I looked at her she was on her belly and I started to laugh. She then quickly sat up and said, "what mommy?"

9-16-09 Kate's new favorite movie is the Little Mermaid. She was watching it when she turned to me and said, Mommy, I want to go to the ocean floor to say HI to Ariel and all the fishies".

9-1-09 It was past Kate's bed time when she asked to watch "Dora". I told her no because it was time for bed. Then she asked if she could watch football. Spencer perked right up and gave me a look like how was he supposed to turn that down? I guess she was willing to do anything to say up. Te-he-he We compromised by reading books together as a family.

8-27-09 Kate and I were driving in a construction zone in Provo when she saw a very large building crane. Then she said, "Mommy, I want to get in my bathing suit and ride that dinosaur."

8-23-09 Kate went into Spencer's office and said in a very frim voice, "Dad, I need my own computer." My dad says we're done for because Kate is already smarter than both Spencer and I.

8-20-09 Kate's new favorite things to do is hide things in drawers and cupboards. Just recently I have found Monk-monk in almost every drawer in the house - she even hid him while we were camping in Grandma camper. I have also found a hot pocket, a beach ball, sippy cups, hair accessories, shoes, measuring cups, small books and toys, and all sorts of stuff. I still giggle when I find things but I'm sure this will get very annoying very soon.

8-9-09 We were late to church so we just grabbed the first chairs we could see in the overflow. As soon as we sat down both Spencer and I looked at each other and gasped - the young lady in front of us had the worst body order EVER!! Kate didn't notice at first but it didn't take her long before she said very loud, "Eww that's stinky! Stinky mommy stinky!" As most 2 year olds do, she kept repeating those words. Needless to say we had to get up and move after the opening prayer.

7-22-09 "Mommy, see the mountains. I love them so much!"

6-22-09 We were all watching some T.V. when Kate came up to Spencer and I holding her Mrs. Potato Head and said, "What the Chicken?"

6-1-09 Spencer and Kate were looking at a rainbow in the sky when Spencer decided to name off all the colors in the rainbow, "Blue, purple, green, yellow and red" Then Kate looks at him and say, "And orange daddy, and orange". What 2 year old would know what color he didn't say?

5-30-09 Kate was having a hard time falling asleep so I laid in the guest bed with her to help calm her down. I was almost asleep when I heard some strange noises. Then a small voice says, "that was me". This went on for a good five minutes and I couldn't help but to snicker a few times at the silly noises she would make and then follow with "that was me" just in case I didn't know who or what was making those sounds.

5-20-09 A man with brown shoulder length hair walks onto the airplane. Kate points at him and says, "Jesus mommy, Jesus!!" She repeats this about 4 times while pointing right at him and each time she says it louder and louder.

5-9-09 I was taking some vitamins and Kate wanted some so I filled a syringe with water when she wasn't looking and told her to open big for her medicine. She did and then looked up at me with her big brown eyes and a face of disappointment and with a sigh said, "water mommy?" My mouth fell open and for a second I didn't know what to say then I started laughing.
