My cousin, Angela put together a hiking club and we went and did Crimson Trail the other night. It was absolutely beautiful. This photo is vibing Lord of the Rings.
I forgot just how difficult the hike is. I was glad to have Liz to wheeze with.
Going down was pretty intense as it got dark and we were sliding down the mountain with just Liz's headlamp. We had a great time though and it was nice to get out in nature with these fun ladies.
Jace and I are finding our groove with just the two of us during the day. There's definitely hard times but I'm grateful I get to spend my days making memories with my squish.
We love Grandma Rigby.
Hudson is getting the hang of all day kindergarten. There were a few hard days with tears but overall he's doing better and even making some friends.
For Christmas Grandma Swan gave our family a trip to Bear Lake. Labor Day weekend finally came and we set off on our long awaited reunion. Mom Peck was in charge of all the food. I don't know how she managed everything, I'm sure she must have been exhausted afterwards. She and Dad packed up the sprinter van until it was bursting with food!
We stayed at an amazing rental. There were two big homes that slept 72 people. There was a sport/game room that had basketball court, pickleball and a climbing wall. There was also a pool and an exercise room the kids had a ball in.
Saturday was beach day! We had a couple wave runners we got to go out on. Loren and I took the girls and had a blast speeding and jumping over the waves in the water. Our girls are little daredevils! They always wanted to go faster. It was a really fun time and a highlight of the trip. The kids played for hours in the sand! I kept waiting for Jace or Hudson to have a meltdown but they just kept going. Kristen brought a couple barbie boats and they were the hit of the day. Best $2 ever spent!

I absolutely love this photo Kirsten took. Just precious! This was after Grandpa took the girls on the wave runner. They wanted to go with Grandpa because he's a crazy driver.

Later that evening we had a carnival to celebrate Aunt Shara's birthday. It was quite the production! There were all sorts of carnival games, prizes, face painting and cotton candy. Shara sure knows how to throw a party!
Lydia reading scriptures with Grandpa. The next day was Sunday so we went to church, relaxed and played games.
We were so happy that Rach, Jon, Lindsay and Reiden were able to be there!
Lydia and Allie talking with Uncle Rob.
We had a fireside that evening given by Uncle Darroll which was pretty entertaining.
It seems like the family grows more every year. A huge thank you to Grandma Swan for giving us the opportunity to make some wonderful memories. And we're so grateful for Mom for all the work she put into the food. It's a ton of work to put on something like this for so many people. We had a blast and are so grateful.
When we got home it was gravitrax for Jace and dad, of course.
We stopped by Hobby Lobby to get some fall decorations, much to Lydia's joy. We had fun decorating our house for fall.
I found this as I was looking through notebooks preparing for my Relief Society lesson. I love when I stumble upon these gems.
We went to the park with Kai and Maddy this morning. What cute cousins!
Fall is officially in the air!
