Feels Like Summer

By

    Lydia made this costume during quiet time one day. Pretty creative!


Thursday night tennis has begun! The kids have fun hitting balls with dad.


   Allie loves to brush my hair and I'm definitely not opposed. Not sure how many hairs I lost this round but I think it was worth it. 


Another June means another Children's Theatre show! This year's show was called Sister Wishes. Lydia made a beautiful fairy!

Allie was the cutest sheep ever to be seen.



For my volunteer hours I signed up to be a crafter, thinking I'd have to glue a few flowers together. Turns out, I was given the task of creating six sets of fairy wings. Being eight months pregnant, I may have had a slight melt down when I brought home the supplies. My sweet husband took on the job of cutting wire and shaping the wings while I tied the nylon. I think my love for him grew an infinite amount as he worked without one complaint. I'm so blessed to have him. They turned out better than we thought. 

It's always an exhausting couple weeks but somehow it comes together. The kids did so well and had fun. Lydia wants to try out for a speaking part next year.

Em, Tyson and Lucy came up the next day for some weekend fun! We went to the Heritage Days parade and got our weights worth in candy. Lucy was the cutest waving her flag. We spent the rest of the weekend playing games, taking walks and just catching up. Wish we could see them more, I really miss them when they're gone. 


Lydia and Allie both won first place in their age category for the Nibley coloring contest so they got to ride in the parade. They really enjoyed squirting us until we were soaked!

I needed a sittervising activity one day so we pulled out the paints and painted the toys. 


It fills my heart when all three kids are having fun together. 

We love our visits to Second Dam.

We're down to two weeks before our baby arrives. Loren and Dad have been working hard on the chair. It's just about there and I could not be more excited. It's turning out so beautiful. 



Loren's office has a new name. 

Grandma had all the grandkids out to play one day. They sure love her and the fun they have together. 

Everyone except Sarah was up for Father's Day weekend so we took advantage and got a photo. Sure love all these people!

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...
