Summer Soiree - Jenna

Jenna's Ohana club team attended the three-day Summer Soiree in Anaheim from June 30 - July 3. Although Jenna has been playing opposite, she was put in as a setter the last two games. She did an amazing job. Who knew we had a setter? We're so proud of you Jenna for being a flexible player and going with the flow when your team merged with the 15's team to create a team for this tournament.  It's been so much fun to watch you learn and grow in this sport this past year.  High school, here we come!

Girls Camp Kickoff!

These 6th-year "miners" kicked off Girls Camp tonight with their "Diamonds In The Rough" mining theme. They sang a little mining song and have officially begun their leadership roles planning and preparing for camp. We're so proud of you Heather! You are going to be an amazing camp leader!

Family Reunion 2016 - Spencer Clan

We attempted to have a family reunion in Vernon, AZ this year. Only half of us made it, but we still had so much fun! We slept in an RV Aunt Kathy secured for us (Sariah curled up in her bed; so cute) while Michelle and Jo's families slept in the house or in the backyard in tents.  Aunt Margie, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chuck, and Grandpa Ron represented all of our parents, and Michelle, Jo and I represented the cousins.  Our husband's and kids all came, and it was such a blast. We hung out, ate great food, had great conversations, took walks, took several quad rides, had a camp fire went to church, and made a trip on the quads to Greenspeak. We basked in our love for one another and our buckets were filled! Next time we hope to get Jeff, Kim and Carrie there. Family is everything!

Jenna's 8th Grade Graduation

Our baby graduated, or was promoted, today! Yay! She did an amazing job navigating middle school with confidence and super good grades.  This was a day where we documented not only her promotion, but the sheer number of friends this girl has. What a great group moving on to high school together!  We're so proud of you Jenna! We can't wait to see what amazing things you do in high school!

Father's Day 2016

Grabbed a quick photo on Father's Day before taking Grandpa home. Normally we take this at the table, but we forgot. Grandpa is getting a little older and foggier. It's hard to see him age, but we're happy we can still honor him on Father's Day.

USA Women's Volleyball

Kelly and Jenna went to Long Beach State to see the US Women's volleyball team play against China. They had a great time, and what a great event for two volleyball players/fans to attend!

8th Grade Dance

Tonight was Jenna's 8th Grade Dance or Promotion Party. I volunteered to work the caricature booth like I did for Heather's dance.  We took pictures at home with Sarah, and then Jenna went to meet her friends and go to the dance together. She looked so grown up and BEAUTIFUL. It's amazing to see the young woman she is becoming. The dance was a blast, and it will be fun to start high school with this great group of friends.
