October 2025

October was full of cross country meets, hunting, and some incredible fall colors! Both Piper & Bryndel just kept taking time off their race each week! Besting themselves with a new PR, and placing in the top group of runners! We had amazing weather for almost every race. It was a great season!

Home meet with a pretty great fan club!

Bryndel shot a great 7 point buck during the youth hunt weekend!

The neighbor across the valley blessed us with this incredible photo of our house nestled in all of God's fall glory!

We got a fun weekend up north helping with fall clean up at Grandma A's home.

Piper finished her season with an almost 1 minute PR at the Sectional meet! She's glad to give her feet a rest before BB season starts, but is already looking forward to next year and her second XC season!

September 2025

Such a warm first month of school! Everyone is starting to hit their stride, and cross country season is in full swing!

We wrapped up the summer with a little ice cream and lake time over Labor Day Weekend!

Started 11th and 7th grade!

Piper has been enjoying her first year of cross country, and killing it out on the course!

Bryndel has also been enjoying a fun cross country season, while setting a new PR each meet!

Classes are going well for Hadley, and we have been SO happy to still have time with her ❤️ 

August 2025

Piper had a great time at FCA camp, and got home just in time to celebrate her 17th birthday at our annual Graham Family Vacation weekend!

Grandma came to help celebrate Bryndel's 13th birthday the following week,and caught a double rainbow.

And then in an epic plot twist, Hadley decided to stay in the area and attend UWEC instead of going 8 hours away! We could not be more thrilled or proud of her for figuring it all out. She used her hard earned work savings, and bought herself a car as well! Its going to be a great fall!

July 2025

Summer is the best! Bryndel got a few days with just Grandma before the 4th of July! And even got to help scoop ice cream with Aunt Nancy!

She's also been playing a lot of hoops out front!

We made a quick trip out west for a few days acclimating to the altitude in Colorado, and got in some incredible hikes!

Silverthorne,  Frisco, and

Copper Mountain 

Just outside of Breckenridge.

Just outside of Leadville.

Gorgeous picnic spot! We exchanged numbers with another set of hikers who took this photo of us and texted it to Kyle! We nearly made the whole 6 mile trek without injury. Unfortunately, Hadley slipped and gashed open her knee on a rock right near the end. She got a little triage right in the back of the vehicle, and has healed well with her butterfly bandages. We finished out our CO time in Estes Park and a day in Rocky Mountain National Park.

To finish out the month, Piper and her friends are getting ready for FCA Leadership Camp!

And we are, of course, getting ready to take Hadley in a couple short weeks. All of which is s

bittersweet. But we are SO excited and grateful to see God work in her new adventure 💗
