Spence Saga
Grandma Karen & Grandpa Ron...
Few can bring the warmth... we can find in their embrace,
And little more is needed to bring love, than the smile on their face.

They've a supply of precious stories, yet they've time to wipe a tear,
Or give us reasons to make us laugh, they grow more precious through the years.

I believe that God sent us Grandparents as our legacy from above,
to share the moments of our life, as extra measures of His love.
--We love you, love your grandkids

So Easy Even a Three Year Old Can Make these Yummy Treats

Chelsey told me about this recipe
so I let Asher and Ethan make them.
They're so easy and they had so much
fun making them.  You place waffle
pretzels on a cookie sheet, place a
candy kiss (any flavor) on top of
pretzel, broil until chocolate melts
(watch carefully so it doesn't burn) and
sprinkle candy sprinkles on top while
chocolate is still wet. Let cool & Enjoy!!! 

Asher was very meticulous with his


Had to sample some of the chocolate

Into the oven

Hmmm....which one to sample


Asher's favorite shirt
Orange & Cars 2
Doesn't get better than that!

Celebrated Thanksgiving Twice

It's one thing to have one Thanksgiving Dinner
at your house, but we actually had two this year.
We had 20 people from my
side of the family on Thanksgiving.
Ron's family came a week later
and we celebrated it a second time
with 10 people and 4 dogs! 
So I'm doubly thankful this year for the
blessing of family!

Tastes better on the tray anyway!

Mom giving Jackson his bottle

I checked to see what Bryn and Chloe were up to
and they were in the tub playing with all their
little critters.



~They even arranged them in the blinds~

Now for the 2nd Group!
We did another full on turkey dinner
with all the trimmings!
Definitely diet time!

Steve, Gramps, Eryn, Darcy, Don and Noel

~The whole gang on the couch~
Don't know how we fit
with all the eating we did!

Went to Berkley and Bryn's recital
Berkley is doing a solo dance - so brave!
She did a beautiful job!



Bryn loves to dance too - following
in her big sister's footsteps


It's been a few years since we've all been together
with Ron's family.
We packed so much in in such a short time.
We went to the Festival of the Trees,
movies - Breaking Dawn and Hugo,
 the girl's Dance Recital and Christmas Boutique.
 Plus lots of eating and visiting and listening
to Christmas music
 football games and did I mention eating!!!
Nothing is better than family getting together!
Great way to start off
the holiday season!

Woke up to Snow!

Can't believe we woke up to snow today!
Nov. 5 is tooooo early for the white stuff.
I looked at my pictures from just a few
weeks ago and it was warm enough to
be outside and even wash the cars!
How quickly weather can change in Utah!



Asher loves our bridge going over our pond!

I think he hopes to see fish in there!
We might have to put some in there one day.




Asher helping his Dad wash his car.
He was dressed but got so wet, we
had to put his clothes in the dryer.
That didn't stop him from wanting to help!
 
Explaining to Chad and Ethan how to do it!





We went to Planet Play for Jeremy's Birthday.
Asher was disappointed he's not big enough
to drive the racecar, but he still enjoyed it!

He liked the mini golfcourse!
  


Yummy Ice Cream Cone

  


Fun Playground

In his glory - driving the racecar by himself!


He loved the air hockey game - especially when he scored!




He's a pretty good bowler too.
Love his stance!



Asher got a bigger kick out of Jeremy's
birthday than Jeremy did - but that's
what having kids and grandkids is all about.
The activities seem to be centered around them.
But we wouldn't want it to be any other way!!!
