The kids are keeping us running constantly and we love it! I don't think there is anything Dan and I would rather be doing right now than spending every second helping and supporting them! We go to practices and games 6 days a week...sometimes even 7! We spend hours figuring out homework and doing projects for school, we take lunch to them at school and vistit with their friends, we get up with McKall at 6:15a.m. & head to seminary, Alec too is up and we are off to the locker room at 6:45. Ryann's soccer is amazing and hard and intense.....she is so fiesty and stubborn....it shows on the field!

He is over ALL the Argosy campuses in the West; Seattle, Washington St, California, Phoenix, Salt Lake, Hawaii..... to name a few. He gets to travel to all these locations and "work" :) Well, his last "work" trip to Hawaii, he decided to have a little more fun than usual! He didn't let me know till AFTER his little 'adventure' bec he did not want me to worry! ANyhoo.....I won't expound too much, just to say that he got really nervous on their way UP...but, was told it was too late! hahahahaa! SO ENJOY some of these amazing pics of my crazy 'workaholic' hubby, jumping out of a PLANE at 15,000 feet!!!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHW1aMPmGkApLNwAXWKYgKBMq49-T_uOM77B_093moW-VTMEduT-UACbh7mxXvuCejm3CxPObgB7rlLsJdh5PVuqJa5w9ogifVkZ-8A2LtiapZWIGxLiWgJlbW8x5In3Uv3DTC1rszurGf/s1600-h/2009+Hawaii+DAN+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381089220921034130" style="DISPLAY: block;

It's only been a little over 2 months since I have been on my BLOG! I feel bad I have not kept up with my posts...but, you know how time seems to just FLY by and all the sudden your kids are back in school and you don't know where ALL your summer went!!!! :)<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Anyhoo...I guess that is what happened to me!<br />Summer was fantastic, full of fun, sun, travel, friends and family!<br />August was a complete blurrrr!!! McKall turned 15 (yes, I'm that old)!.. & the kids all got back into sports and practices and crazy schedules! </div><div>It is now Sept 3, we are 1 week into school and going full throttle! :)<br />I have to say that I have never been really SAD when I put my kiddos on the bus for their first day of Kindergarten or Middle School....I was just excited for them....and ME!..... BUT, this year, when I took McKall to High School....I was kind of teary! ...She was a little nervous,( but who isn't their 1st day of High School)!?? AND there are 1,300+ freshman in her class!!! WOW!!! It's not like Logan High where she knows everyone and has Tosh to look up to and take care of her! But, McKall is amazing, tough, funny and crazy! She had a great first week and is now just trying to adjust to her schedule! </div><div>OK, enough babble....I will just put some pics of summer and the start of school and sports and fun here in Texas!

The theme for camp was B.O.O.T. Camp....(Building Our Own Testimonies)! We went to a ranch this year out in East Texas. We stayed in cabins, which were primitive! They were little wood shacks with about 8 bunk beds along the outside walls, with mattresses that were so old they were falling apart and our neighbors even had bugs inside one of theirs!!! GROSS! We tried to put on our smiley faces, make our beds and get ready for a week of FUN! hahahaha!<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div>There were MANY activities everyday that kept our girls busy and entertained! We had a little schedule book with times and events and duties! We had about 200 girls and about 50 leaders including our whole stake presidency. We did archery, went on hikes, played in the lake, canoed, sang & danced, ate, chanted, had R&R (reading & reflection), served a meal, prepared food, had a shaving cream fight and laughed and laughed! We also had many testimony building experiences that will never be forgotten by any of us! I will just tell you about 1 very powerful night!....... The night of the tornado, where we all ran to the 'shelter' ....(a huge steel framed cabin on the lake...with JUST steel frames...not sturdy walls)......all the girls huddled together in 2 big rooms crying, hugging close together and singing. At one point when the Sheriff told us that this was very serious and that the tornado warning was coming right for us......ALL the girls started singing "I know that my Redeemer Lives' very quietly, but very powerful! The stake President just stood, along with the leaders and sang quietly, we then sang "I am a child of God".....Then Pres Dotter offered a prayer and the storm HIT....for about 20 min the walls shook, the lights swung, the thunder and lightening crashed so loud and it rained in sheets!.....then, it was gone! We were all OK! Later that night we learned that the storm that had us in it's direct path had parted and gone all around us, but not through us. We were safe due to the power of the amazing priesthood, the power of prayer, and righteous young women who were were they were supposed to be serving their Heavenly Father! </div><div>So, despite the stifling heat and bugs and cabins and toilets(where we could not even flush our own toilet paper), we had amazing food, fun and crazy leaders that made camp awesome! </div><div>Enjoy some of the 400 + pics I took! </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347340951169065618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtm1rju614hjc9BpNhMk2C8L9El1-99eYRM4uZEtEeHVEnG03yq0lvCi3j1Ex02GNeeStm2z2K2NZhjFPSk-bK5fZKUbe1QBGLU6vouIMecyJMB923_bwTRdLF-EjTrjQPwYt6oT1JMM-c/s320/2009+June+YW+Camp+428.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347340956104533986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK_Gb9w5OZIA8dDTzFOl6o2o9n5j4WdueFMJ5dhPXTlMevKeDRV5uGfwVxJCOMG0b9RF7wY2RUxujoAw_28n7hMcuY1_M8EguX0-6aXgnUyuLcvzopQjlVtQuJtGRhTVI3wtwB8fCzYTrb/s320/2009+June+YW+Camp+006.jpg" border="0" />The leaders, on our cabin's front porch....<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347340962778790402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIQv33Aedt0K87wGEJMqLCt3mjqwhB14W5JCN1KmOKKe8K5vu3X8JGXkuT-j-h8DXhKFPoQqFP93X_i5wRQoGJaQtxVMalN2LlzNtjHME6HN-odcs_YIkCSzN95SRWcDokUzvesSYDkvL6/s320/2009+June+YW+Camp+004.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div>Our amazing shaving cream fight...me and Jen<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347350184518534610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9BiWvjdQwX6mGlMQd_94Nrf4zpxUoxq086OZh00YGwFYXz9Hq4MwsyOzY4-YfKd3jv4D_ywt9215bfLJ1tb_vcCew1VblnVviWi2F5EU5V-DZcYA3hyphenhyphenTFvsUmtY32c0btyxZ1qvJyqoNt/s320/2009+June+YW+Camp+275.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347350188114626914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtvWDXP9kkro1oBM29ag_ace3cWNjUzOi5vEJSsJIhHO1lpiOaOeeIyvDRJrJYLxljJvaXGNBY-Tv6PutMDQNlTMxx_UUPXdOQ3RegDrwOaFm6DcrfT81LK-05b3IJJQOdMzE8rbcLWatG/s320/2009+June+YW+Camp+268.jpg" border="0" />The crazy rope swing!

Having two priesthood holders in our family now is pretty cool! Alec is getting so big....well, to me anyway... compared to some of his friends that you will see in the pics he is still a 'little' boy! hahaha!

Sorry for my hiatus....just busy, busy, busy! :) <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>ANyHoO, back in February we decided to go ahead with finishing our back yard and putting in a pool! NO, we did NOT have any freezing temps or snow to deal with...just 60-70degree weather! We debated and debated and got bid after bid! Finally we made our mind up, and after about 6 design changes we were ready to roll! </div><div>The whole process was really amazing! OUr pool guy, Greg, was incredible! We heard tons of stories about how long it takes and how much mess is made and what a PAIN the whole process really is....so we warned our neighbors that we were starting a pool and to be patient! They were all great ....because they all have pools and know what to expect.<br />To make a long story short, from DIG to SWIM was 6 weeks...minus a couple of weeks because of rain delay! ....so we were swimming in 8 weeks! Everything went smooth and there was absolutly NO 'painful' part at all!<br />So, we are now enjoying 80 to 90 degree temps and we have an awesome pool, with a 9' deep end, diving board, turbo-twister slide, huge hot-tub, and fire-pit! We even have some side yard to kick the soccerball or throw some passes! </div><div>Dan and I decided that a pool is probably better right now than a boat.....due to our schedule of sporting events and travel this summer......!!! Maybe a Malibu will be in the works for next summer! Ya baby! :)</div><div>Enjoy some pics of our awesome pool process! .....HOpe to see ALL of you 'lookers' at some point here in Texas enjoying it with us!!!!!! </div><div>The DIG!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335511568494860642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO3hyphenhyphenJdMIUWArtSn26K0VjyZ11egnqjLdAd7MtRVglA24cZRYeBjqzkg4m5dt-ntUEDAl6YLIngmJqHfHt5cfzbCYKicoo9tc2DOCDUaXjBxsRPnhpcsXzEhYznXkdUcGWvlMt9hXOqmjs/s320/2009+Feb+013.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335512178088763570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1zzBDeK0m3zaGBsALX9BxnCxt32UFTbe_Jg8Bsxvbl5Atzkh9PeT6FmnbcAZ9jDDqExqezdwLAv5nsr2owDBYkwJeiIjWmuspvbLCwQLVBNejWblWe6pV7i6nj_ZZCeImnykfa39BY1Vl/s320/2009+Feb+017.jpg" border="0" />I did not realize that after the DIG....it is a TON of REBAR!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335512181376142674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcJXR8PzRiiZCIUz6KXGF9ynJGkgcdAgaLe7YaikF0QhzU0nZW5oVDJn5H6U3ue901cR2aYQYN5mVnUmsHRka4FZwAfDIUrH5l4ip_qMtmSi5KUhMzbhICmfCzHAT-WHi4Mjia_4YLvd4L/s320/2009+Feb+RY+005.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div>Blowing in the gunnite!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335514073499983362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPsRJ6I_WqPzng4qxqciKoFWWjwXxf94lLKrTzzxWzohUPxlPlPu5NHAdkdAfc4x_4t_-1v61GwgzHDff_GRH0eNgPNgeITtm257A5lxIWM_DGGbwp03KpvZJaqmjwHRIwXM0W5Anr5ZD/s320/2009+misc+032.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335514071248694034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf3MuJVo2UfValvuZTATPYV1F6y-9pjZUNaQ8zrRXbRZJJ4OFwu_WwlXqlZFZdZM1RzMxHZuEZBMohuPiPxNnrAxpt2KsxtYAwh4xLQNPI0HqA9QmfyYpqGdahFl2f5GvchFmtC9pYeeMR/s320/2009+misc+039.jpg" border="0" />Finally looking like a 'pool' !<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335514075366169458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXMBeJ8N05m4ZoWVMkQPnVNFu3nlH8xPIULseAI_9R_paOQEXwzfi8y3MswlJ2ej-stVGjQ5GctmRv7a5pst5frikZxk_oI0Zxb4t3QQTu2jOVm508tUAe88R-Unn2YJBsx9MSLYkwUgA3/s320/2009+misc+043.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div>Preparing for the 'pour' the deck around the pool!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335516164635344514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio8-EYbAAsin73nrP-O2DkXV11XaiDpaNGBUCWcPhbz_RirvyubEsRgnc5AYzuaeIdjzFvrHwsugIkKB6idPBTIUFk85A9GXxCr-F6-Soc-5nG4gPQpXTEQ836vim1gi8NE6SZh-OvHouy/s320/2009+misc+052.jpg" border="0" />All poured and 'rain-filled' ! yuck!

OK, NUMBER 1: Jami, my crazy sister in Pennsylvania had her 3rd baby on Saturday, the 18th! She finally had a little GIRL! Lexie Lyn Vernon! ....she is very cute, looks like her brothers and has a serious 'attitude' like her mom...according to the nurses! She is a month EARLY and in the NICU for breathing problems. There is some kind of knicks or small holes or something in her lungs letting air escape into her chest cavity. I know, sounds crazy scary....but she is doing the 'same' not getting worse or better....apparently the nurses say whenever they 'mess' with her she gets all bent out of shape and ornery! hahahaa! Lexie is going to be fine....hopefully 'shakin' this thing on her own....but is stayin in the NICU for the next few days or so! Stacey, who lives about and hour and a half away....came to the rescue and has Jami's two little boys for the week! OK, NUMBER 2: This morning my mom was hit by a car while walking to her school. She had parked her car and was walking across the road to the school when a lady apparently did NOT see her and hit her. Mom was knocked to the ground, not sure why she didn't jump up or over the hood of the car??, .... and hurt. They took her to the hospital where they found she has a fractured knee! ouch! She is having surgery in the morning, but, is going to be fine! She was mostly upset bec she just paid a fee to change her plane ticket to Pennsylvania to see her new baby and was flying out on Saturday!!! Do you think the airlines will believe she got hit by a car? hahahaa! AND number 3: nothing has happened YET.....and Trisha's fridge quit working doesen't count! I'll keep you posted!PetersonFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18004259507714584712noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195396665324131678.post-19332087766265954192009-03-22T11:27:00.000-07:002009-03-22T14:20:43.592-07:00CraZY BrEAk, B-daY & ViSitOrS!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwaEj5YmUgibvAz5_HYXSoN-k8tuS8YKbZPeVLp0fTw6bHTNxeIM86PqgNXqqlYtKYnxBCDmUBuQywpKo75xGLpy8guM6yG7502k8O_wZmr3S0utcl5lILlWhPQIa_ybpHCisbsgid3q2t/s1600-h/2009+March+Butters+Visit!+270.jpg"></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi018vluw2RaY0dIkFnNl_pbOUULJ_n3akkZaZ06Hu6fbQHukLCHQwdVoS4SpCjp7l_NC67y7soGyj7hJXOX7P0mwtI1WpU3RTSlf8TUu97zW6eCg3D6p8OiwHNaLEKR-vUazdpuURQt9-H/s1600-h/2009+March+Butters+Visit!+286.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316108339782047522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi018vluw2RaY0dIkFnNl_pbOUULJ_n3akkZaZ06Hu6fbQHukLCHQwdVoS4SpCjp7l_NC67y7soGyj7hJXOX7P0mwtI1WpU3RTSlf8TUu97zW6eCg3D6p8OiwHNaLEKR-vUazdpuURQt9-H/s320/2009+March+Butters+Visit!+286.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuaJtl_GEoiBwyLIVh4HuqL5edk7D8jO_nHOQbalz2cSGY2hJLdLKqYy6rd74P48hbmoX-xkF1hst4Ir9Q1hrwQYWVutnIboWJP99fbORBKClVtd673ylA_4NPV_EctHYVdV8c3DTLiaa/s1600-h/2009+March+Butters+Visit!+249.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316108317585685378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLuaJtl_GEoiBwyLIVh4HuqL5edk7D8jO_nHOQbalz2cSGY2hJLdLKqYy6rd74P48hbmoX-xkF1hst4Ir9Q1hrwQYWVutnIboWJP99fbORBKClVtd673ylA_4NPV_EctHYVdV8c3DTLiaa/s320/2009+March+Butters+Visit!+249.jpg" border="0" /></a> We started our Spring Break out by shipping McKall off to Utah to hang with her friends. This, however, turned into an adventure by itself! She flew 'standby' with Dan, who was trying to get to Reno for the WACC and Taho skiing! ....however, they STAYED 'standby' for the entire day...about 12 hours.....and NEVER got to Utah that day! They finally got a flight to Cincinnati, where they stayed the night and then flew to Denver & on to Salt Lake City the next morning....which they ALMOST did NOT get on either!!! CRAZY! She finally made it last Friday and is having a great reunion party with her friends! ....Dan NEVER did make it to his final destination, RENO. He was bummed not to hang & ski with his friends....he had to fly home to Dallas and be with his wife! ya baby!<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>The weather has been fabulous here in Dallas....75-80 degrees! So we did a TON of yard work and landscaping projects! The kids really enjoyed this! NO REALLY! They were great helpers! We told them if they helped do yard & house projects for the first couple of days of break, then we would take them to play during the week! What awesome kiddies to help without whining or complaining!....well, almost no whining and complaining! hahahaa! </div><div>Trisha and Adrian got here on Wednesday! Ryann and I picked them up from the airport! It was a happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, reunion! No tears...just big smiles & hugs!</div><div>Ryann and Adrian fell back into their 'sister' mode immediately! They sang and played and laughed hysterically for 4 days! </div><div>They went to FC Dallas Youth Academy Soccer Camp, swam (every day), sold kool-aid, went to a movie, went shopping, ate out, played teacher, played soccer, rode bikes, sang, danced, drank chocolate, had tubbies, went to FC DALLAS's home opener against Chicago and cheered for Kenny Cooper, had nachos, watched fire-works, puked nachos and laughed and laughed and laughed!<br />Trisha and I laughed at the girls most of the time, but did find a few moments to ourselves to lay-out by the neighbors pool and catch-up on life!<br />We had a really great time just hangin out and relaxing. It felt almost as if we really haven't been gone for 7 months! Can't wait to see them again in a few months!</div><br /><div>Our SWEET KADEN turned 7 during all this spring break fun! He was sooo excited to have Trish and Adrian here to celebrate! ...although...he said he really wished Tanner Watson would have come with them too! hahaha! </div><div>We had a fun day......Dan and I got up at 8a.m....we had to actually WAKE the kids at 9 to open presents! Kaden was sooooo excited! We got him this 'batman' action-figure that is almost as big as he is! He got some walkie-talkies, snorkel/pool toys, clothes, RC plane & a 'main-event' gift card from Nick & the Hendirx! </div><div>Kaden was oh SO lucky to have a professional cake maker here...this prevented him from having a 'lame' cake made/or bought by his mother! hahahaha!! Trisha made the cake and she made me frost and decorate! It was a baseball cake....just in case you can't tell from the pic! </div><div>After presents, Trish and Dan fixed crepes with strawberries, bananas, blueberries, whip cream, syrup & powdered sugar! We had our friends Aimee, Adam & their boys over also....it was Adams B-day too! We then got ready and headed to Dave&Busters, this huge arcade game store/restaurant for a little competitive fun! hahahaa! After playing till we ran out of steam...we got some lunch & a treat in the mall & some Texas souvenirs for the Buttars.<br />We had a fantastic day with all our family and friends!

It was a bit 'low-key' due to the fact we had church and had to speak and give lessons...but, we made it HER day anyway! WE got up at 8:30 to do the most anticipated...'present' opening & picture taking....(this, was NOT McKall's idea of fun or sleeping-in....but, who cares??? It's NOT her day is it)! ...anyhoo, after we had fun opening presents and taking a bunch of cute photos, Dan made Ry's favorite.....Crepes!<br /><div><div><div>Later that evening some neighbors stopped by for cake and ice cream & more presents! </div><div>Ry was queen for a day and got all the attention we could muster! </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are 9 reasons WE love our RY RY!</div><div>1. Her attitude! spunky!</div><div>2. She can DANCE! oh, and it's 'beyonce' hahah!</div><div>3. She absolutely LOVES music! ....ya, she gets it from ME...ok, & McKall! She can sing ANY song and knows ALL the words & even some actions! hahaha!</div><div>4. Ry is sensitive & loving.</div><div>5. Ryann has a great imagination! She is constantly wearing someones high-heels, jewelry, make-up, dresses, and teachin/reading to the people! </div><div>6. Ry is funny! She is always making us laugh! Some of the things that come out of her mouth!!</div><div>7. Ryann is an athlete! You should see her ZHENO, MARIDONA & her 'off-ball-movement' !! She is aggressive and mean on that field! She is getting better and faster! We love to watch her! She can hang with her brothers too.......she can dunk the basketball jumping off the back of the couch......& tackle Alec to the ground when he is trying to 'juke' and 'score'...! </div><div>8.Ry loves to cuddle and tickle! No matter where we are she is always pushing her sleeves or pants up or lifting her shirt so we can tickle her back, arm, legs, face, hands...you name it! </div><div>9. Ryann is our curious one, always asking questions and wanting to know who, what, when, where, how, & why! Yikes! Sometimes she scares me with her 'inquiring mind' ! </div><div> </div></div><div><div></div><div></div><div>B-Day Treats at School!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306211320505320002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqdt7-46Hr34IhpPNyfbDFROG_K0I7SSLWUU7hJkT6Vll5hbl3EPdAUxboDdSjx2OlrFPOPEUFjyhRHYSfZNXC14kxKKH6vuqAaiQsC3tswX1Jh-Al_DubcTjh1UMZvKMnpUx1wY5Dfppc/s320/2009+Feb+RY+007.jpg" border="0" />Blowin out the 'candle'...where is Trisha when I need her???<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306211318487257426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNeIhylVMQxv3uH1sgQVGU_AiaKXLswz0ZrJ2advWOFPr6xGE1CBHckG4mHEEC-KeR0GUTSCiQKFImiCyRIA6YRsK4p-tLgN0x-tP7SsjMDQWkR8pzhQuTxOjPc_Fhbdc-Tz4DytjaNuvH/s320/2009+Feb+RY+001.jpg" border="0" /> The 'happy' morning birthday photo!

Well, now I have a teenager who likes to do all of these stupid, annoying, messy activities! .....and what do 'I DO' because I'm nervous for them to go sneaking around at night with dark clothes on and bags of evidence?.....I DRIVE THEM of course!!! Oh, and I take pictures of the festive fun! .....I forgot, this is a house of boys who are all friends with McKall and her friends.....so, it is all just a loving gesture of friendship, NO maliciousness! The girls even typed up a note with candy attached & left on the doorstep! What a bunch of tards!

It has become long and annoying! I'ts not that I can't find a hair-dresser, it's just that I want to try something a little different! SOOO I have been growing it out since I left Logan. Seriously....I don't know what to do with SOOOO much hair!??? Do I blow it dry and round-bursh it....do I curl it...ok NO....It is just so weird...it just hangs there with NO ATTITUDE whatsoever! ANyhoo...I'm trying really hard to stick to my decision to let it get past my ears to my chin....then I'm going to try to do some kind of A-LINE style of some sort! BUT for now, it is just at that ugly hang in my face, can't do a thing with style! I do pull it away from my face and try to do a puff or twist...trying not to look like I'm 14! hahahaa! <div><div>I will post my hair-style again in a few months...if I make it that long! </div></div>PetersonFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18004259507714584712noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195396665324131678.post-38347420143281807362009-01-04T13:21:00.000-08:002009-01-05T06:11:37.904-08:00Philly~D.C.~New York~..WHEW!Statue of Liberty in the background!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyI_ke-5J65_gIJbeDloxRHdkBQZP3qqACC11MeIlGNlskatyazE33GEsHkd5WDeAYKtNpnmp25TICHssmfhNzo2wXTdYXqEcWI2KXJZ7kCv_4sjpE7wJp7a_y7bwEP7RWgGXz1baA7p3b/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+Vac+1016.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287666476132241986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyI_ke-5J65_gIJbeDloxRHdkBQZP3qqACC11MeIlGNlskatyazE33GEsHkd5WDeAYKtNpnmp25TICHssmfhNzo2wXTdYXqEcWI2KXJZ7kCv_4sjpE7wJp7a_y7bwEP7RWgGXz1baA7p3b/s320/2008+Christmas+Vac+1016.jpg" border="0" /></a> Roadie to NYC!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOE1WFwgjj1e0QJRQ0V2zztKzl80PKz38AQixbZ8JnI4Az5DhTErUEYpMK8D0aL3g5FYFbrz6g-GkG4wd8LHRkfHnp3NDVc3k5XugXEsP4u0qacE6TOn8UFgxL7Jr-3-XjUTqJMCn2OBLI/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+Vac+975.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287665805546180706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOE1WFwgjj1e0QJRQ0V2zztKzl80PKz38AQixbZ8JnI4Az5DhTErUEYpMK8D0aL3g5FYFbrz6g-GkG4wd8LHRkfHnp3NDVc3k5XugXEsP4u0qacE6TOn8UFgxL7Jr-3-XjUTqJMCn2OBLI/s320/2008+Christmas+Vac+975.jpg" border="0" /></a> Of course this is the kind of fun the boys would have!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhXrk6ztI5eSEt8ToT1SzpYyPCHdoSRUnRP0os6ueKGaUU9AE2G73IQowbT6w8WvF1XzAzvAPL8u0IJQ7akmdoLJdtiD48HbW0jYm0OGq7zbxWEAtsBejQXmiZbM9yuItAPw9JgGEMxqV/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+Vac+906.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287665802127020290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhXrk6ztI5eSEt8ToT1SzpYyPCHdoSRUnRP0os6ueKGaUU9AE2G73IQowbT6w8WvF1XzAzvAPL8u0IJQ7akmdoLJdtiD48HbW0jYm0OGq7zbxWEAtsBejQXmiZbM9yuItAPw9JgGEMxqV/s320/2008+Christmas+Vac+906.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30rr1WxnluQo61ngqSGziTCjyZTY6JAtOJV2RNNoiUph6Vaq-dVYHwQ1gadadEHOQyxwCtxg9x0vxDJGbHQbmOVc5HIh1iBSuDc2s7FkZrzClgJc9WVKYpvvj2595EdVTqYsngdo8GVzj/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+Vac+889.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287663701907029042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30rr1WxnluQo61ngqSGziTCjyZTY6JAtOJV2RNNoiUph6Vaq-dVYHwQ1gadadEHOQyxwCtxg9x0vxDJGbHQbmOVc5HIh1iBSuDc2s7FkZrzClgJc9WVKYpvvj2595EdVTqYsngdo8GVzj/s320/2008+Christmas+Vac+889.jpg" border="0" /></a> Downtown Stoudsburg with the Beebe's!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGbmVmZKTzcGTqoK7v1UTwWE4foOWuLcQGEJOvtNWOs8kWJ-xE-XqkgOAD-EizOBLpExsr0pFYt_srhsoA_UVIBFPZYPqOkA-Pmwn1j9SsWKB_yC87xyafadIG8vh8ndKvAevOVWNA8suf/s1600-h/2008+Christmas+Vac+861.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287663693061553058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGbmVmZKTzcGTqoK7v1UTwWE4foOWuLcQGEJOvtNWOs8kWJ-xE-XqkgOAD-EizOBLpExsr0pFYt_srhsoA_UVIBFPZYPqOkA-Pmwn1j9SsWKB_yC87xyafadIG8vh8ndKvAevOVWNA8suf/s320/2008+Christmas+Vac+861.jpg" border="0" /></a> Nice window shopping in Stroudsburg!!

It was a HUGE year of change for us! Many exciting and memorable events have happened to our family! I don't need to go into details bec most of you know about job changes and starting a new life in Texas! For the most part, things are going great, not too many bumps in the road! ....Anyhoo, we decided that we needed one more fun event to end the year with a BANG! And what could be more fun than going to freezing-butt-cold Philladelphia to see my sisters and their families for Christmas!??<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>We flew out on the 18th of Dec and hit the Vernies 1st! Jami and Jason were SOOO excited that we were coming to take over their house for 4 or 5 days! Their two little ones, Cole & Miles, didn't quite know what to think of ALL of us, however, after a little warming up, they played and wrestled and sang and had a great time with Alec, Mckall, Ry and Kaden! Jam and jas loaded our heads with all the tourist information and what and when and where to go. We rode the train into downtown Philly and took a tour bus all over the city. You could get on and off whenever you wanted and do whatever you wanted. It was AMAZING! I don't know how much Ry and Kaden got out of INDEPENDENCE HALL (Where the Decleration of Indep..was signed) or seeing the LIBERTY BELL.....but, Dan and I and the big kids LOVED it! Really, ALL of our AMERICAN HISTORY started in Philly! Very Cool!</div><div>We went to Amish Village, ....that was very interesting. They are such simple people who want nothing to do with the modern world and it's technologies. It was raining that day and we were driving on the roads next to an Amish horse and buggy! We toured an amish home and learned about their culture and dress and traditions. The kids wore some of their hats and dresses and ate some of the food the Amish women were preparing. My kids said that they feel lucky to be living the way we are and that they were grateful Dan and I were not part of that Religion! hahahahaaa! Really! Me Too!...I kind of think I would be a rebel! </div><div>Driving to Washington D.C. was another exciting adventure! What did we ever do without GPS? Getting around in Philly with all those winding roads through the forests was unnerving! But with Garmin...we got everywhere...and with NO problems! </div><div>D.C. was awesome! We did a lot of walking and saw everything we could! More History to see and more learning for our kids! They loved it! ....well, kind of! hahahaa! </div><div>After 5 days with Jami we hit the road and headed north to East Stroudsburg to see Stacey & James and their 6 wild indians! We packed in their house and had the greatest time! The kids played non-stop and Christmas morning was insane! 10 kids, 500 presents, scooters, lip-gloss, and Guitar Hero World Tour.....we were all entertained for hours! </div><div>We toured downtown Stroudsburg, went to movies, and our highlight....driving to New York for 2 days to see the sights! We were there Dec 29 & 30th, 2 days before New Years Eve.....& you know what that's like in NY's time square!! I think EVERY other HUMAN BEING was there too! It was insanely crowded! .....BUT....just being there was amazing and the kids absolutly LOVED everything! WE saw GROUND O and ate at the Essex Cafe that was right across the street from the twin towers and was used as a Medic Station while trying to save the victims. There are pics inside the cafe of that terrible day.</div><div>We saw the Statue of Liberty....she was a lot smaller than I thought she would be. </div><div>We saw the Lincoln Tunnel, well drove though it, and the Manhattan & Brooklyn Bridge.</div><div>We drove up 6th Ave...all the way to Midtown Manhattan, parked our car, and started walking. Seeing The Empire State Bldg, Time Square, 5thAve, NYSE, Broadway, Central Park, Rockefellar Plaza, Today Show, NBC studios, Radio-City-Music-Hall, and shopping galore!

Has it really been 3 weeks since I blogged last? Ya, sorry! Anyway, things are busy as ever! UGH!<br />WE actually got all of our Christmas stuff out the week of Thanksgiving. We decided since Thanksgiving was a week late this year, & we are heading EAST, that we should decorate early and enjoy! Although, it just does NOT seem like December and Christmasy...is that a word jami....?? ..when it is 75degrees outside and the kids are still riding bikes and wearing shorts! WEIRD!<br /><div>The kids were great helping get lights outside on the bushes, our nativity out and the tree up and decorations on! Of course we had Christmas music blaring to make the mood just right..Dan was even singing along!...I'm sure it was because he didn't have to put ANY lights up this year!<br />I took a few pics of our activities, but I forgot to take a pic of McKall trying to make Gram Flo's awesome sugar cookies and frosting. She wanted to make them in Holiday shapes and have red and green frosting. The cookie making was fine, we followed ALL instructions and the dough was awesome! .....but, the first batch came out of the oven and they looked like pilsbury-dough-boys, huge, fluffy, thick....GROSS...& the frosting.....grainy,slimy...GROSS! ....guess we will have to try again to make Christmas treats! Maybe next time we will just stick with Choc Chip! </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277977565065000898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuh88mKLPGX0FRBiBpb1Fw0BdW2k0AFxPJLvcyVcNnyF0FbL5rRybh9JlnGOC-_H-rmPYIzZFPlJyGJNhiXGd2lGCVhX133bI6NjPVO-o0Psc7GdR3dB6o57Ka2vRTsHdHuQ8Wewmxj3Jd/s320/2008+dec+010.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277977557102350354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbnnDbWxUS1HVSzQyEnyJF9Qcz8iMh1PER6pejdMc1YMrWSCk32P0n8VFPuIHxwNpZ9QuVprpiKeMcGXOgkyK274dG1oQ2Dn1k8ud44qV1DWQ2SNHZPyw5IK4c2Cf-djn0I1K3McSFxuO8/s320/2008+dec+001.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277970223126200306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4lkenQZmLopHbrx3o0F5skq2ZaoBLxip5z5Iotxr0TrbHf3stQZBqIyQflDas8WBl0-ROajx424Q_gLROByV7RLmjFMXZyFO1EtSKRFidF5EWy2vNChwwIZav4UbjkU1r_P0V9PPGR-w_/s320/2008+dec+005.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277970233520280946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgxj5dQCUovrJeyITu-e1e4CjgWCvA8xU5SbJxR6qwwQRQaLflcDXj-8VQGdQOncIPcywnRuvPmuZF1VrFx8YBJCbhIxfeHiePb_IdH_sHT9Egq_rvVHbXROCLBYSvkNgYDhLRPj9hm0gH/s320/2008+dec+008.jpg" border="0" /> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div>PetersonFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18004259507714584712noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195396665324131678.post-11695107241923254302008-11-12T06:37:00.000-08:002008-11-12T08:32:06.086-08:00EDWARD!Galleria Mall....Twilight Tour!

WELL, apparently there are A LOT of COOL moms out there who are either too lienent & dont care OR who are CRAZED TWILIGHT VAMPIRE fans!!!!! <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>McKall is constantly on Stephenie Meyer's website checking on the latest Twilight news! Last week she found out that Robbert Pattinson was going to be here in Dallas at the Galleria Mall. So of course she was trying to finagle a way to go and get a wrist-band. We finally decided that she could be LATE for school & that we would go get in line that morning. Well, we apparently missed the memo....really, being STUPID and not knowing that the line would start forming the night before! I guess if we really thought about it we would have realized that we NEVER even had a chance of getting a ticket to see him and have a signiture! When we got to the mall yesterday morning at 8:30am and got to Hot Topic....there was a sign that said ..."Twilight Event Sold Out"........ of course McKall and I were bummed! We talked to one of the employees and he filled us in on how since we could NOT get an autograph and see him for 5 seconds....that we could go sit by the stage and wait ......ya, for 10 hours..... and get to see him answer questions and talk about the MOVIE. So, to make a long but very FUN story short....we had breakfast at our favorite, Corner Bakery, and decided to stay! Heck, we were the FIRST ones in line down on the floor by the stage and it was ONLY school and housework we were missing out on! It was fun meeting fans from all over who drove for hours, from Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Lousiana. Having the CAMERA crews interviewing the girls and putting them on T.V. was awesome. Doing a little shopping, getting hair-cuts, spending 20dollars in the "candy~shop" , making some new friends and OF COURSE seeing Robbert....EDWARD! It turned out to be a VERY long, fun filled GIRLS/TWILIGHT/EDWARD DAY OUT! </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>PetersonFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18004259507714584712noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195396665324131678.post-69035501946802415632008-11-04T06:02:00.000-08:002008-11-04T06:16:17.172-08:00EleCtiOn DaY!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRuHjyV9xF689RQt368O5Xu6p1Suo39zcy6YEkIAk-WdQUBPVrc7xGUakZvZXZvC0WGkh9Oe2Oh6fsVcINWjsQk3cCTmwApmhVBvL8GklqPzXjgy7XgyTEfHTkfH9H8qyjfnRJ4Onaalzj/s1600-h/Election_2008-400x300%5B1%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264804712913132738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRuHjyV9xF689RQt368O5Xu6p1Suo39zcy6YEkIAk-WdQUBPVrc7xGUakZvZXZvC0WGkh9Oe2Oh6fsVcINWjsQk3cCTmwApmhVBvL8GklqPzXjgy7XgyTEfHTkfH9H8qyjfnRJ4Onaalzj/s200/Election_2008-400x300%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRDsc89Gtq8z500CYyHN8EJrplo5OFcNvMFRbyVkKbCu0q_JQl9nKal3Jjwpoi9CmZMsgk_PWaANY10CA1G7joHonETpKBZYGAJBWKJ7j2ooE98RA6aKKeJALy9LDPi8XZg1iujNTHjBIS/s1600-h/your_vote_counts_button_3%5B1%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264804712103243794" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 178px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRDsc89Gtq8z500CYyHN8EJrplo5OFcNvMFRbyVkKbCu0q_JQl9nKal3Jjwpoi9CmZMsgk_PWaANY10CA1G7joHonETpKBZYGAJBWKJ7j2ooE98RA6aKKeJALy9LDPi8XZg1iujNTHjBIS/s200/your_vote_counts_button_3%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwv77Z-1fAWKnmdMzKot5QLp6_HIaDDzVbike0Dt8h0XSbAd7cp1cankdvx7TdL-2FX_8Ier-5tUNU9qU4yThiYXVIjdPlhS6DrXwRqWOFuXTizOBgg-psi9UN75id10vYCXzYgNyPYBs-/s1600-h/your_vote_counts_button_3%5B1%5D.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY3UZkm-kRZwmmSXjnEHbwODmDAstY8ddTjY5TkpUcB4m6uU6eBe4VSRRxxTuyL9Qsxs32KmbKTkAsxpqWlSU0Uz0PQRGvQuVaUK2to8_pQEum4y3or6xeoCsEpvDd10j_uFwC4OkimJlg/s1600-h/Election_2008-400x300%5B1%5D.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Today is the BIG DAY!

I'm in my PRIME! I'm SEXIER with my push~up bra and a few more "laugh~wrinkles"! I realize that it's time to burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear fancy clothes and NOT save it for a special occasion....bec TODAY is special! It's time to DANCE like no~one is watching....oh yea, I do that already!....and it's OK to embarass my kids! I know LIFE isn't fair, but it's still good! And there is NOTHING more rewarding than living it to it's fullest with my FAMILY! I'm NOT getting a boob~job, taking pole~dancing lessons or getting a job at Hooters...although it sounds FUN to Dan! I'm just going to keep living my incredible JOURNEY and hope there is MORE amazing, unforgettable, MEMORIES to come!<br /><div><div><div>Speaking of amazing & unforgettable....last weekend was the BOMB! My SWEET husband ALWAYS comes through! He was stressed out for months about what to do for my 40th! But, somehow he planned the PERFECT weekend...and it was even a SURPRISE! </div><div>On Friday, we got all dressed UP. We went to a restraunt called III Forks, one of Dallas' BEST steak houses. I don't think we have ever had a fillet that good! YUMMY! After dinner, I was ready to go home and put the kiddies to bed......Dan instead took me to the Dallas Intercontinental Hotel...ya, the 14th floor suite! Talk about being SPOILED! We finally had ONE night to OURSELVES! He let me open 1 gift....no it was NOT a TEDDY....it was a TAMRON LENSE for my Nikon! YA BABY!!!!!!!!!! He is definitely THE MAN! :)</div><div>On Saturday I came home to a decorated house and kids and neighbors with silly~string! I walked in the door and was attacked! Kaden had one of those air-horns and scared the crap out of me & then everyone was yelling and spraying me with silly-string! I laughed till I was crying and peeing my pants! It was GREAT! </div><div>The rest of my B-DAY was spent at soccer games and football....shocking I know! ALL of my cutest FRIENDS and FAMILY from home called and SANG and WISHED me well now that I'm an old fart! .......they ALL truly MADE my day! ....I think the only thing that was missing was a DIRT~HILL~CAKE from TRISHA!!!!!!! </div><div>I had a great evening previous, and a fun B-Day with my kids! .......I didn't know it WASEN"T over yet! .......the next morning our friends, Russell & Paige, picked us up at 9a.m. We were going to my FIRST NFL FOOTBALL GAME!!!! I was soooo excited! We even went in STYLE. Russell's company has a "party-bus" that they shuttle people to and from the STADIUM. It was seriously HILARIOUS! It looks like a "short-bus"....which would be totally appropriate for US!!! ..but, once inside.....the party begins! hahahahaaa! </div><div>We get to the game an hour or so early and just "take-in" the CRAZIES! Talk about FANATICS!</div><div>WE.. DID have our COWBOY ATTIRE ON, but NO face paint, beer, banners, horns or boots! </div><div>Our seats were on the 17th row in the corner of the end-zone. I loved being so close that we could hear the players! The GAME was more like a big SHOW....lights, cameras, fire, Randy Travis, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, Players, screaming crazy dressed-up fans.....FUN!!!!!!!</div><div>What a FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY! I LOVE 40! I love Texas! & I love my MAN!<br /> </div><div> My Lense!</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262980903139260866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnRkMPt38W2AZNIqJrnvrYYYMHxLXDXnUKthV8GqXK4tNW6fYuNdBXS3IPrOHjfWUf9rj_oO7fd6b4gPOYlznLuuVOcMM6wAFb9zhDwbJO2LN_XBJwXcogJhb80WtDm17yjAtiiBzeFjm6/s320/2008+Oct+FUN!+053.jpg" border="0" /> Happy 40th poster!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262980054282166898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl-ARvp1XllnFkUainB26NY8UoLdrp8hekQfY6zT-RzUXquGDB_GPxuAblnFKaUE30B0PWJFcOticqo56XjWrxAE5SOL1rh87apAER4LQvGY_c5dmpuE2VRQzeFcMIR6M7CGr5KA3hFyYJ/s320/2008+Oct+football+044.jpg" border="0" /> The PARTY BUS!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262983554748988674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEkAFv-APbRbbys2DQcXnl9CGzgVKrMC51yYpTX9w93w0lJ1l6XNrDp_Gg3drBwouNsDbNTYglZcL6NN-x752EWMrlBfkeQLurqZCjQxoWJIXmV5BDGMFzvNUmCWccs413CvS9le8JgkN_/s320/2008+Oct+FUN!+079.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262983559680713090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHrUL-nrpgRDQ7e24CtC1UpZqwFfSLpsysJKSWC4Tlu2yvC6M2cN3Z20pwA4mvUvKuI9vMaMCCOS6MqxZiw1QAkPv-o44EDMSH02rx29l2luRf1cKxM5YYPvkzTXTwfdgsfWgg8zFjAWGm/s320/2008+Oct+FUN!+081.jpg" border="0" /><br /> TEXAS STADIUM!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262984297657411234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxpxnJVjNaqiu8gYg_dfWj2r8g-ov-RgXf4wF-iUOqIv4mUkM6v43VfKbUuJg7TKN-NbnwnPAab8Ymax9R_ZVzzi-Ih7wJ9ebzJnNIdqZTJc91ZVjx_-DavSEjUMVZo9BBHB35fKREioX/s320/2008+Oct+FUN!+082.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262984299537499218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8W2LFo9d_olKkoUluOVc7vtPW9fN5-7ZVyaTUXZtAouDF_TXimZJ-K0BVZk8BCQNka77dDGTFgEDP7ljx9iv2QbhiCHBUctQtlaY96TBLtSRCzc03tA-y1vvJMq7UWCszTdBx6w8Yb25R/s320/2008+Oct+FUN!+084.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262985552547371778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-EkcrBDts3zQvukrnxrhH3mBK0neDE1BsrFem1z0CFgd8ILUtl2GNaRPhXsRXbsPso_WyauY0C7WdfBopD1THxuzz3UNL3oAQCD9ffNAp74Jj-xEdeGm35qkoPxvzg_laI7LihLjvq5X/s320/2008+Oct+FUN!+088.jpg" border="0" /> Inside the DOME!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262985554289195282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnq_mU_t8BzXtBGP0l16UgLPtSuhvAFpgeWIajD2uzSMukftmAjWxal51N2Ve8ZEeU0KKHY2EJwGTRX2wUQ8UeJwX0o9cXPwm6eCIVj2TBk4gD4i-difCnUHZxc6oOz4zldoHCbrQ-SD6/s320/2008+Oct+FUN!+089.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div> Dan's FAVORITE!

On Friday, October 3rd, the movers came and moved us out! It was such a great feeling! We got all the furniture (which was NOT much) from our apt moved into our new home. We spent the weekend there and unpacked what we could. On Monday of last week the SEMI and 2 other large trucks came with the rest of our STUFF!! It was so funny....they just kept unloading and unloading and unloading....yea, for about 51/2 hours!! And I thought we got rid of a lot BEFORE we moved to Texas!! hahahahahaaaa Guess it's time for another garage sale! Anyway, we are in and happy! Now we just get to unpack and unpack and unpack! Hopefully you can see a little bit of our home from the pics above! </div><div> </div><div></div><div>Other than getting our house in order things are just the same....you know....football, basketball, soccer, homework, church, work, play...and we even find time to eat, sleep & blog! </div></div></div>PetersonFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18004259507714584712noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195396665324131678.post-24382353698065220442008-10-07T15:13:00.000-07:002008-10-07T15:19:22.779-07:00MIAOk, ok, ok, I know it has been a while since I had some blogging action!

ANyway, we will be "unserviced" until next Monday or Tuesday... Then will be ready for some serious blogging updates! ...Right now I am on the internet at our Apts community computers for the residents and there are a bunch of kids waiting to get on and play games!!! ....otherwise, I would try to blog aobut SOMETHING....hahaaa!!

"hold your tongue....." So, I have been trying really hard when I get mad or frustrated NOT to let one little tiny BAD word come out of my mouth! Well, it's NOT working! I mean, good hell, sometimes there is nothing better than letting out a blue~streak of profanities to vent your mental melt down! :) Just Kidding!! hahhaaaaa! <div><div>Really, for FHE one night we decided that we all call too many names and say too many naughty words.....you know, like idiot, butt-hole (thanx Keith), retard, dip, dinkus, stupid....and so on..... WE decided to write all of our bad words on a piece of paper, put them into a jar and bury them away, NEVER to think about them or use them again! It has only been a couple of weeks, but we are doing awesome! Sometimes we slip...but, for the most part we just say .... "ugh" and walk away and sing our favorite song! Hopefully we can keep this up and put smiles on each others faces! </div></div>PetersonFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18004259507714584712noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195396665324131678.post-24852278973218047162008-09-07T20:52:00.000-07:002008-09-07T21:37:37.312-07:00ArE YoU ReADy FoR SOme FOOTBALL?!!!Alec wearing #7 ...due to a jersey mix-up! ....It was a Lucky #7!

Between Alec and Kaden we are at practices EVERY night of the week and 2 games on Saturday! Well, actually we have been practicing for about 3 weeks now, but, the REAL games just started!<br /><div>Alec's team, the TCU HORNFROGS, played ARMY. The HORNFROGS beat them 24 to 2. Alec plays running~back, strong safety, linebacker & wide receiver. He had some great "ESPN HITS" and ran a 50 yard TD. It was 96degrees and the humidity made it seem like 101!!! We had a lot of boys getting "heat-sick".....whew!!!......talk about swum & swoob!! (thanx Tosh)! </div><div><br />Kaden's flag-football game was right after Alec's. His team is kind of pathetic....but fun to watch!</div><div>Most of the kids on his team cry if someone takes their flag or gets knocked out of bounds or falls down......Luckily there are a few tough kids who just don't care and just want to run with the ball! Kaden is sooooo funny....he tries really hard to listen and run the plays & get as many flags as he can...though, that is not EXACTLY the object of the game! hahaa! He does not cry he just puts his "game-face" on and gets tough!...(a little advice from his bro)! Kaden's team is the EAGLES. They played the COWBOYS and lost 28 to 0. ....but, they really did not even notice!!! Kaden did NOT even ask the score....in fact, he said ..."I think we lost mom....did we?" I said ya but you guys looked awesome! He was good with that and was ready to go swim! hahahahaa!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243501964386904082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF2OpBS3-c0hTY1YQkNr536wQdxHNoyxrzcKrlR2JpqbBam-1uLmqeN7agHkc_NtuyAzb31TWiDQHXXWfAFZ_9AAPc3Q15zKwuOl75hj3KzMWTL0XDzSs3k7AA59rVzo3w9IcaoUWr_94Q/s320/2008+Tx+Football+167.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243501969580839490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHAK6o9EUONqRXXQMz3CL5ZPnaHAnJuPIADYIz-V5n1zR33iyusXDkLsHMrbryNsIRqVOGHhpEDDuoJlyl05lciS7tICcqMuo4VvO4BPsyyqnLzVcHNMqGJ2PspaVPS7JSeR7KhycsRxOV/s320/2008+August+Football+011.jpg" border="0" /> </div>PetersonFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18004259507714584712noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195396665324131678.post-15482999564060626312008-08-29T10:10:00.000-07:002008-08-29T11:24:57.709-07:00NEw AdVenTUreS!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIDbptBZK80_RD2gU-8vDCbXMbxOsWqDsKfDUn-bF_lT2kr09ykNbE0iMP9ipos4LtaFr69arEO31VF54KN2eh2BX2PV1hx8x-P5W0nBUXY3iircsvO7LAA_Ma-v8FuJIoQhekXgcrDaj/s1600-h/2008+school+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240005178330189058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIDbptBZK80_RD2gU-8vDCbXMbxOsWqDsKfDUn-bF_lT2kr09ykNbE0iMP9ipos4LtaFr69arEO31VF54KN2eh2BX2PV1hx8x-P5W0nBUXY3iircsvO7LAA_Ma-v8FuJIoQhekXgcrDaj/s320/2008+school+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixqu02sRliYvLybi9GdgX1nUP94e2wqBBkw5Lhp53Xddt5lj6lasur4Nh3ookJklhZDzaKdu0YKLcOQ-cdNiahw9avEbTmvGmoTmM-i50LllLKwHQwpqLMegACFS43ucocD1023zoW_9as/s1600-h/2008+school+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240005181947028322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixqu02sRliYvLybi9GdgX1nUP94e2wqBBkw5Lhp53Xddt5lj6lasur4Nh3ookJklhZDzaKdu0YKLcOQ-cdNiahw9avEbTmvGmoTmM-i50LllLKwHQwpqLMegACFS43ucocD1023zoW_9as/s320/2008+school+005.jpg" border="0" /></a> Moving, apartment, weather and now SCHOOL! So many NEW CHANGES in our lives right now! The kids and I are trying to adjust to all of them. <div><div>We bought a house in Frisco which is about 12 miles from where we live right now. The kids schools are all within walking distance from our NEW house,,,,however, we are not in our house until Sept 30th.... So we get the fun<span style="color:#990000;"> commuting</span> adventure every morning!</div><div>We have to get up at 6:30 A.M.(if you know my kids, that is a whole adventure in itself)!!....get ready, eat and be out the door by 7:15....the drive, in traffic, is about 25 to 30 minutes! It is like taking our kids to Brigham City every morning for school!</div><div>Ryann and Kaden start at 7:50 and end at 3:00. Mckall and Alec start at 8:35 and end at 3:55. </div><div>Our mornings are sooooo fun! I keep telling the kids that we can do ANYTHING for 4 weeks! We have 1 down....3 to go!....Then when we are in our house the kids can walk or ride bikes to school AND they can sleep until 7:15 or 7:45!!!! YEA!!!!!!!</div><div>Mckall says the Middle School is Strict! At lunch they have to sit 4 kids a side and no more at the tables....& they have to raise their hands if they want to get back in line and get seconds!!....Mckall said when they want to be done...they have to raise their hands and be excused from the lunch room......."GAY" ....that is what Mckall said! hahahaaa! Apparently, they lighten up after the first month, but, they set the expectations high on behavior!!! </div><div>As far as Kaden and Ryann go......Kaden brings home a BEHAVIOR CHART every day. It has either a smiley face or a frowny face for the day......so far Kaden is 4 smiley and 1 frowny!!! I know, I was shocked too! hahahaaaa!!! </div><div>My middle two...Alec and Ryann....just go with the flo and are doing great!</div><div>Lets get these next few weeks over with and MOVED,...

My girls LOVED Nastia and Sean and Alicia! Our kids have cheered on the USA in all sports. It was fun watching the events all together. I mean, what else are we suppost to do here in our apt with no friends and 100 degree heat! It has been great family bonding! </div><div> </div><div>Anyway, we were driving on the freeway here in Texas, on our way home from "down-town". Ryann, all the sudden yelled....."hey, hey it's Nastia and her mom in that silver car".... we all just laughed and said "sure, sure Ry...like you can tell"!....So, to please Ryann we slowed down and a silver Mercedes came up right next to our truck. Sure enough it was Nastia and her mom. My kids rolled down their windows and waved and said hi...so did Mckall and I. Nastia and her mom waved back and were laughing at US....these over-excited people with Utah license plates....!!</div><br /><div>Pretty COOL! Fun to have a GOLD MEDAL OLYMPIAN living down the street! Maybe one day one of our little athletes will achieve that status!<br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcjjF_xwfOCts2R0MuZIxGFK1wTDBobdILJm3yCiAqJyLg8Po_-bZTbwjVX3cjd5JbJrcnQI1-IXwiaw3uXdWTAH-1uAGs11Nr-_a5jpYp3NZECpN7dOq7e2V_YEVLVwRE1L8sS6LMeeXn/s1600-h/IMG_0691-web-big.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6zhMD6TDSNutG-ooPshXnCC8SpcT6DqzSx_tpXd9g1EMguSF4N4Qr9ePTostzqjYW1YqVyEzfAvabhyswKIP-rYVrkasrBrZ-d5w30s-cBO9zaU_PcLXnxU9lmHcRbriCJYIgrT7hWSHu/s1600-h/IMG_0691-web-big.jpg"></a></div></div>PetersonFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18004259507714584712noreply@blogger.com4
