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

Jack and Christie at Bear Lake

They say Bear Lake is 9 months of cold and 3 months of company!
So we got in our last bit of company at the end of September.
The colors were at their peak so we took some great pictures!

My twin cousin Christie and her hubby Jack







Creikor trying to beat his Dad at horseshoes!

Creikor is an old pro on the 4 wheeler


Lucked out with the water - pure glass!





The water was pretty cold but hey - we're tough - no wetsuits!




Notice we're all on two skiis - I use to slalom but
I'm just grateful I can still ski on two!
 
Had fun tubing too!







Ron and Jack were discussing something
when I surprised them and snapped this picture.

Jack was in charge of dinner one night and
made authentic Texas style barbecued beef and chicken
and was it ever yummy!   

We sure had a great time with these guys!
The weather was in the low 80's
which is pretty good for the end of September.
Sure hate to see summer end though.
We took the boat out 9 times this summer -
have to try for 10 next summer!

The Pias Finally Make it to Bear Lake

We've been waiting all summer for Julie's family to come up
to our cabin and they finally made it.
We had so much fun and it was well worth the wait.


Bryn looks worried - maybe she doesn't trust Berkley!



Bryn decided this was the year for her to learn how to wakeboard!

She practiced her positioning on the boat.......

then Joe helped her in the water....she didn't quite make it up
but she sure did try.....maybe next year!

Julie dreaded getting in the cold water


but she did and she had a blast on the wakeboard



Peace Out


Our Stud Muffin!

It's nice seeing Julie relax - she doesn't get to do that very often

Mason loves taking pictures

Joe is an awesome skiier

Taking a little rest


Such a cute couple

Mason and Berks are the two cautious ones -
Chandler and Bryn are the daredevils
 



Bryn made a new friend on the beach


Spent six hours on the lake
trying to get in our last summer activity


Don't know what I would blog about if it weren't for our
 Bear Lake Trips

Love spending time there with family and friends!

We're hoping to have a few ski trips there this winter
but we'll see how cold it is!
