Six Years

By
  Lydia turned six years old! Where has the time gone? I got a bit nostalgic this week and started looking at pictures of her as a baby and toddler. Boy, we had some rough times. I remember wondering to myself after one of Lydia's massive tantrums if she would ever grow out of them. I'm happy to confirm that she has! Not only that, but she's grown into the most fun, funny, sweet and kind little girl a mom could ask for. I truly love spending every day with her and seeing her grow and accomplish new things. She has such a kind heart and is quite possibly the most popular kid in her Kindergarten class. I'm so glad I get to celebrate all her birthdays for forever!    


  Lydia's new obsession is a show called PJ Masks. It's about three kids who turn into superheros and fight crime. She was thrilled with the PJ Masks costumes she got!


  These pictures are a little dark but we went to Great Harvest and got a sandwich and cookie for lunch.


  All Lydia wanted to do for her birthday was go to the park. I guess that tells you how often we go these days. We invited the Clark girls to come too. They had a blast!


  Lydia loves creating new things with Legos. 

  Grandma Peck made a delicious peaches and cream dessert. She also ordered a science subscription box for Lydia for 6 months. The first box came the other day and she had a total blast putting together a claw for an arcade game. Such a fun idea! Grandma Rigby gave her some sun catchers to paint, and she painted all twenty of them in two days. Crafts don't last for long around Lydia.


  We made applesauce this year! It was our first time so we weren't sure how it would turn out but the kids love it so I guess it's a win. Nothing smells more like fall than making homemade applesauce!


  We've had a fun week celebrating our girl. We're so proud of the little person she's becoming and couldn't be more grateful that she's ours.

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...
