Fall Fun

By

 

I was able to take Allie to Ethan Gleed's baptism. It was fun to see her other cute school and church friends there. 


Jace and I went with Maddy and Kai to the Pumpkin Walk. There were some really creative scenes this year. 



This was Jace's favorite. He loves Bluey!







Loren took the kids to their school STEM night and they had a blast. Hudson especially loved the remote control balls. 

Our berry patch is coming along! We finally got all our plants in with the drip system connected. We had gravel delivered for the shed on the west side. The last thing we have is the wood chips and we'll get to those in the spring. So exciting!



Lydia's absolute favorite thing is going rock hounding with Grandpa and dad. This year Grandpa took his motorcycles and she had so much fun learning how to ride. 


Ready to ride!

We're so grateful that Grandpa will take the time to effort to make these memories with Lydia. She looks forward to it so much and it's fun to see her grow and learn new things. 









While Lydia and Loren were gone, I took the kids to Grandma's Halloween party. We met up with cute fairy Lucy too. There was a ton of people there but the kids got a bunch of candy and got to see Grandma with her spider. It was a fun night. 

Our annual Halloween dinner came complete with mummy dogs, witch's brew, goblin mouths and worms in the dirt. Lydia helped with dinner this year which was really nice. It turned out delicious! 







Honestly, I'm not a fan of Halloween. Trying to figure out costumes for the kids and the endless amount of candy make it stressful and exhausting. But it always works out and the kids looked great. Grandma Peck found dresses for Lydia and Allie and they were perfect. Lydia was a victorian noble complete with a parasol. Allie was the cutest pioneer girl and Hudson changed his costume last minute to Ironman. Jace hated the lion costume but when I told him he'd get candy if he got it on, he tolerated it. 




It's always fun to watch the kids' school Halloween parade. There's some pretty create costumes.  



Peck Halloween party. Kids are growing up!






The kids school photos turned out so cute!



We put up our tree this week! Jace rearranges it six times a day. It was fun to decorate with the kids. Lydia especially loves to thoughtfully consider where each decoration should go. I love it. 




Hudson bought this airplane with his own money. 

This past week was Veterans Day and I was able to think about my Grandpa Rigby. He served in the army and fought in the Korean War. I sure miss him. 

My cousin, Becky told me about story time at the American West Heritage Center. Jace and I went with them and had a great time. Can't wait to keep coming back and it was great to catch up with Becky.

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...
