Summer at Last

   Loren and the young men cooked tin foil dinners for their activity last week. Loren said they turned out pretty good!


  Ok. Get ready for the cutest recreation ever. Greyson and Adaline recreated this Piggy and Gerald page for a school contest. I can't even handle it!


  Here's a few last week of school photos from preschool. 




  Loren took the young men on a hike up Logan Canyon. 

  Last weekend Chris and Kristen blessed Tessa. The day before Loren went and helped Chris put down cement blocks around the fire pit. It looks great!

  She looked so cute!

  Our first summer picnic!

  Lydia's first and last day of first grade. How did this year go by so fast? 

  Allie's first and last day of preschool. She grew so much!

  Allie had a cute end of year preschool program. Grandma Rigby and Grandma and Grandpa Peck were able to be there which was so nice. Great job, Allie! We're excited for another year with Ms. Liz. 


  Friday they had an end of year parade where they dressed up as what they want to be when they grow up. Allie chose to be a ballerina. 



  We went on a fun family bike ride to a park we've never been to before. The girls had a blast riding the fun zip line. 




  After the bike ride we were all really hot. To cool down we tried out Daysie's snow cone shack. Yum!


  Lydia wrote down our summer bucket list. I think it'll be fun!


  For Memorial Day we had a delicious breakfast with the Swan's then went and visited Charlie. It was really nice to be close to him. 

  We also visited Kaleb. We love our angels. 

  Lydia is quite excited about Pokemon lately. She's bought her own cards and loves playing with dad and trading cards with her cousins. 

  The girls got some super cute Kiwi boxes this month! Allie made a nature box and Lydia made an aquarium for her fish. We love these boxes. 

  Loren went to Texas for a couple days for a Trial Conference. He learned a lot and is excited to hopefully get a case to trial soon. 

  The kids and I had fun exploring at the Blacksmith Fork park up the canyon. They played in the stream and had fun on the playground. 



  This past weekend Mom Peck was kind enough to watch the kids for us while Loren and I went to Les Misrables at the Hale Center Theatre in Murray. We met up with Cam and Mary at The Cheesecake Factory and then went to the theatre. WOW. What an incredible performance. The members of Gentri were the three main characters and their performance was on another level. As soon as the last song ended, we all were crying. I truly hope they come again.

Home Again!

  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!"

  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

  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...
