More camping/summer pictures


For most of my childhood, my birthdays were spent camping in McCall.My birthday this year, was not any different. We went camping with my side of the family, and spent the day swimming in the lake, and eating at the Pancake House.Parker is my good eater. He very willingly will sit at his table when it's time to eat. And is always the last one still eating.It is unbelievable how dirty my boys get while camping.
Other summer activities:We love to go down to play in the Centre on the Grove fountainYou may be wondering why my little sister Katie is wearing such a large hat..a few weeks prior, while boating, Katie got sun burnt. It wasn't your average sunburn, however. Several days later her forehead became swollen. It was the oddest thing, it literally looked like she had play dough under her skin. Her forehead could be molded into different shapes. Our favorite was sticking our finger into it and leaving a dent. Days later the swelling continued down her face, and she then became an avatar.Have you ever had the bridge of your nose swell? We hit the Western Idaho Fair every year. However, year after year, I am liking it less and less. Parker, however, got a kick out of feeding the animals.Spence loves going on the little rides. Parker was scarred for life, after Scott and I made him go on a ride at Lagoon. Spence goes solo for now.Parker will go on carousels, and thinks that they are great. Po Jo's is a favorite of ours.

Spencer's Birthday

Spencer's birthday was all the way back in August - I'm just late putting up pictures. You would think that since I'm not in school I'd have more time to update my blog. I guess previous semesters I was putting off homework by blogging.
Spencer turned 4 this year, and had a fun-filled day. He decided to have a Cars 2 birthday party, so we began our festivities by going and watching Cars 2 at the theater.
Following the movie we ate lunch and headed straight up to Lucky Peak for some birthday boating.Spencer falls asleep every time we go on the boat.
Spencer is a very mature, articulate, smart little 4 year old. He's very cautious, and very sympathetic. However, once you break his shell he's very funny, high energy, and is the leader of the pack. He's very curious, driving us insane with millions of questions, and also quick-witted and likes to negotiate. We love him, and can't believe that he is already 4!!
