Countdown for Caleb

 Hello Landon and Mason!!!  

Three months this week for Mason and three months + 1 week for Landon!   Time at home goes both fast and slow.  Probably much like it does in the mission.  The weather here has been great, cool mornings and cold nights but sunny days.  Fall is a great time but it also means winter is coming which is not as exciting.  

I picked the last of everything from our garden.  The chickens love the melon rinds.  We had so much catalope and honeydew that the chickens had some to peck at everyday.  They eat them till they are gone.  Gracie is a our little farmer girl as she loves to go feed them and it keeps her occupied for a little while.  She also likes to get the eggs, but sometimes they don't make it back to the house without getting cracked.  

 Lydia had her last normal season Cross Country meet.  She has worked hard.  This week is the district meet and then she is done till next year.  She is hoping to still run during the off season.

Gracie (picture below on right) stands on the coarse and claps non stop and cheers "Go Lydia" even when Lydia is not around.  She loves to attend the races.   And Lydia has the biggest fan!

Gracie likes to go to the Football games too, but she doesn't cheer as much as she loves to run around the baseball field and look for sticks and other kids to make friends with.  

 Jacob (#3) also had his final last season game.  Now it's off to the playoffs.  His team won most of their games so they should do well.  Jacob was the new player on the team as the rest of them played together last year.  He's had a good season, but it's been hard for him to play anything some of the positions he would like to play.

 Dad also helped do the line (if that is what you call it).  He wasn't too thrilled about me taking a picture  of him(hehehe).

Below are just some funny pictures of Gracie at Walmart.  They have some fun costume head pieces for Halloween and she had fun trying them on.



 The Hatch's have been here since Friday night.  It's been fun to have them.  Caleb has been sleeping in your room and he is excited and nervous about going into the MTC on Wednesday.  He got set apart last Wednesday in Auburn before he left so he's officially Elder Hatch!

We went to the BYU spectacular with them on Saturday.  It was Kristin Chenoweth (played Glenda in Wicked).  All the songs sung by the musicians were from Musicals.  Vocal point sang "You will be Found" to open it and I'll admit I got a little tearing watching them and missing you guys.  Don't think I have seen them without you!  They also sang a "Wicked" melody with Kristin Chenoweth which was neat and different.  BYU mens chorus sang a Music Man melody which was Caleb's favorite.  And the Young Ambassadors did a Hamilton song, and Grace sang and rocked out to it and sang along "Im not going to throw away my shoot"


Lydia has had fun with Natalie and Alyssa.  When they came up ready for church on Sunday they looked like sisters.

 Hatch family looking good before church!

Oh and since you haven't seen Tigger for a few months thought you'd enjoy a picture.  He's doing well.  Catching mice and keeping us company when we are outside.  He spies on the chickens but doesn't do much more. 

We love you so much!!!
