Fun with Family

By
  We love park days!


 My Grandparents' home is just about built and we're getting really excited for my parents to have their own place. The girls love climbing in Grandma's tree.


 Sunday snuggles.

  This was our first picnic of the season. Lydia was in heaven!


  Lydia matches her doll. So cute!

This is the greatest towel ever. Em's gonna be the envy of the beach!

  I was lucky enough to go with Lindsay to her track banquet. She was awarded girls field MVP! I'm so proud of this girl, she gave it everything this season. This is Lindsay and her coach.




  Lydia had her graduation program last week. It was so cute! Lydia was one of the loudest singers. So proud of her! She's excited to go back again in September. Well, at least I keep telling her she should be. She really wants to go to Kindergarten. Im definitely not ready for that yet!
 
She was so glad to have Grandma Peck come!

 And Grandma Rigby!

She loves her teacher, Mrs. Rigby.


  Todd had a guitar concert a little later that day. He's really come a long ways and sounds really good. He had a solo part in one of the songs and did awesome.


  Loren sent me this picture the other night when he went to check on Allie. Yep, she's definitely my daughter.

  We went and got some ice cream the other day after working hard in the yard. Lydia got cotton candy with m&m's. Oh to be a kid again.

  We were so surprised and excited to have Emily and Tyson visit this past weekend. It was so fun to be with them! We played games, watched movies and went on a fun nature walk. We really miss them but are excited to see them again in a month. 



  Another Memorial Day has come and gone. We went to the annual Swan/Griffiths breakfast, which was amazing! Pancakes, eggs, potatoes, fruit, sausage, bacon, ham and more. Sooo good! Lindsay and I made a quick trip to Al's afterwards to get me some new running shoes and chaos for her. Now I'm all set to start training for the Freedom Run. I'm excited that Lindsay will be doing it with me!


 After that we went on a nature walk on the Stokes Nature trail and had a picnic. It was perfect weather and so nice to be outside. Dad tried unsuccessfully to be out of the picture.

  So happy that these two get to go on a Caribbean cruise at the end of the month. They deserve it!

Home Again!

By
  The end of another school year is here and with it brings our cross country road trip to Utah. Yay! We planned our trip two months in advance because my dad needed time to book our hotels. At the time, it seemed like common sense to leave right after Loren's last final on Thursday. I mean, what did we have to wait around for? The sooner the better!    Fast forward a week before we were to leave, I was seriously questioning our decision making abilities. Why didn't we just wait to leave on Friday so Loren could help me pack and finish cleaning? I still had a million things to do and couldn't get any of it done with Lydia wanting my attention. Loren was busy studying for finals and I felt guilty asking him for any help. What the blazes were we thinking?! It was a stressful time, to say the least.    One morning we woke to sirens and fire engines blaring. The visitors center had caught on fire! There was smoke everywhere and we spent the rest of the mornin...

"Grandma and Grandpa- Fun!"

By
  One thing i've really missed while being in Virginia is going to our siblings competitions and events. It's been so fun to be able to see them all in action this month.    Todd and Brendan were both involved in a debate competition. I was really impressed with how well they did, it's a scary thing but they did great!   The Wellsville mile is one of my favorite events of the year. It seems like theres more kids every time and they keep getting faster. We were so proud of Todd and Brendan, they both ran personal best times. Lydia had a blast watching all the kids, she wanted to run with them! Todd's enterauge. Emily and her friends were able to run with him. Great job boys!   This girl has amazed me with her dancing. She's grown so much from last year and is such a gorgeous dancer. It's so much fun to watch her. We went to her end of year dance performance and had a great time. Thank goodness for Loren, he's the only one who remembers to camera to take pictu...

Thanksgiving Bash!.. and Crash

By
  I have to say, this past week has been the most fun and exhausting week we've had in a long time.  But before we get into that, we had our first snowfall a couple weeks ago.  Lydia was DYING to make a snowman so daddy went out and helped her make one. They had a blast!   Here's some of Lydia's school papers.    The weekend before Thanksgiving our basement flooded.  One of the tubes that hook onto the gutter was pointed directly towards our house instead of away.  Thus, we had water in our family room and the unfinished room.  It kept coming in for two days.  About every 10 minutes we had to suck up the water on the first day, then about every hour on the second.  I think we have learned our lesson and plan on digging trenches to make a more efficient drainage system.  Thanks to everyone who helped! No permanent damage was done and we're so grateful.   Loren had a guys night with his...
