Time at the Egbert's home

Heather E Chapple, Ryan Chapple, Scott Chapple and Heather D. Chapple

It was great to see Ryan and Heather when they came to see us at Cindy's. We all enjoyed eating and visiting.




A little story behind this rafting trip that was 16 years in the making! Right after my parents dropped me (Scott) off at the MTC everyone went rafting. Of course they wrote me all about it and sent pictures. Every since then any time we tried to go it never worked out. This time it worked out and we all enjoyed rafting down the Snake River. One important note: Remember to keep your mouth closed even though you are having so much fun. This lesson I learned quickly. Thanks Lon for taking us. I (Scott) sure had a great time. We will have to do it again soon.



Everyone in the raft.

Aren't they adorable? Brianna Egbert and Kate Chapple





The kids all had a great time at the bird farm. As always holding the birds is the funnest part. Last time we visited the Egberts we also did this and we had to go back since we had so much fun last time.





We all had a great time swimming with the Egberts and Shirley & kids at the Wendell Pool.

Spencer loves to good whenever he can. The waffles were yummy!

Family Vacation to Idaho for Cureton Reunion

Just before our vacation we purchased a Bumbo. Olivia enjoys sitting in it so she can sit up and see everything that is going on around her.


We all enjoyed eating together.



The Rexburg Temple is beautiful! We enjoyed walking around it with the kids.


The kids enjoyed spending time with Great Grandpa Cureton. He did not feel well at all before the reunion but felt himself after a priesthood blessing. He was able to enjoy the family and other things that had been planned for the reunion.

It has been awhile since we have posted something on our blog. Our trip from Maricopa, AZ to Rexburg, ID was just under 1000 miles. We left in the early afternoon on Thursday June 19th and went as far as Page, AZ. You could see Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell out of our motel window. In the morning we woke up very early (lost 1 hour because of daylight savings) and headed north. 10 hours later we where in Rexburg.




Before leaving to Idaho Spencer and I went to a Diamond Backs baseball game. It was the Boy Scouts of America night at the ball game. Take a good look at the picture taken of the Megatron and see if you recognize anyone?

Lots of rain in Maricopa AZ

It rained most of Thursday May 22 and all night long. We received around 2 1/2" of rain. Fortunately, it came down steady and not all in a several hour period. These pictures are of our back yard. We just put the cement in and are starting to put the yard together.

Whitings come to visit Olivia on her blessing day

Olivia's Blessing

May 4, 2008

Olivia was blessed today. She was so beautiful in her blessing dress. She wore the blessing dress that my Dad and step mother Debbie bought for Allyson. Allyson wore it for her blessing as well as Kate and now Olivia.

We had a lot of family come for this special day. Those who were there were Scott's parents Lenard and Marilyn, sister Ashley, Kevin & Merica and children, Shirley and Children, & Scott's cousin Melinda and her husband Devin and three children. Our ward meets at 8:30 am. I was a little worried about getting there in time with so many family members staying at our house but we made it in plenty of time. Olivia was the first of three babies blessed. Scott gave her a wonderful blessing. Those is the circle were Scott, Kevin, Lenard, 1st counselor brother Randall, home teachers brother Crockett and brother Orton, friend Darren Roos.

After sacrament meeting we took pictures outside the church. We got home at 10:30 am, in time to meet some of Heather's family (Grandpa Whiting, Aunt Chris and Dale) . We served brunch and had a wonderful time visiting with everyone.

Spencer turns 10!

We celebrated Spencer's 10th birthday on Saturday April 26th. We went to our neighborhood pool to swim. Dawson and Alexander came for the party. Spencer made his very own cupcakes.
