My cousin Amy got married this past weekend to Nate Lahrs in Lawton, IA. It was a beautiful wedding and Amy was a gorgeous bride. Tori was a jr. bridesmaid and walked with Amy's brother Adam. Tori & Adam have an awesome friendship. Tori enjoys Adam alot and I think their friendship only grew.

Madi & I along with Erin & Keri Schuelke went to Chicago for the weekend and had the best time ever. I have never laughed so hard being around those two Schuelke girl's. Thanks for all the good laughs you guys.

Never a dull moment with Madi & Erin.

The girls are climbing the walls of an elevator we are waiting for at a mall.

Here is Madi at a street sign with her name on it.

A quite moment with the girls sitting in front of a flower bed.

And Tori says Madi has no strength. haha
This is taken at one of the museums we went too.

If you ever get to Chicago you have got to go to a restaurant called Ed Debevic's. In the center is our waitress and they dress in the most ridiculous outfits, give you a very hard time (she said I was high maintenance because I ordered french & blue cheese dressing--can you imagine me "high maintenance") they also get up on the tables and sing and dance. It was a very fun experience and I highly recommend it.

Tori and her dance squad group was in the parade for the 4th and you can see Mason in bottom left corner looking for Tori.

Mason found Tori and ran out to try and get her to "stop Tori"

Final home softball game--yippee

Tori had an awesome season of softball. Here she hit a ball to center. She did an amazing job on her hitting this year & her pitching. Always glad when it's over but in the same sentence I miss it.

Hard to keep the updates going during the summer because of all the activities so hopefully I'll get better when the kids start school again. I'm looking forward to that. The girls start school on the 20th and Mason will start 3-day preschool after Labor Day.

Hope all is well with everyone.
Much love,
The Pecks

P.S. Almost forgot to mention that TORI GOT A JOB!!! She loves the quick money from tips being a waitress but "it's so hard being on her feet for 6hrs".
