What a BEAUTY!

Here is Blakely in her Christmas dress already for church. I just had to show her off. She is so pretty!

Wrestling with Dad

I don't know what it is with boys and wrestling, but they just love to wrestle. They wrestle with me and the themselves, but they sure do love their Dad. I had to take a few pictures when Garret and Brady kept jumping on Shawn again and again.

Katelyn's 9th Birthday

Well, it comes so fast after Christmas. Our Katelyn is 9 years old. I can not believe that she is this old. She has given us a run for our money at times, but has turned into a beautiful young lady. She has a ear splitting laugh and certainly is exciteable at times. She loves life. When she chooses she is a great help around the house and with her younger brothers. She is a great student and loves to read. Right now she is a little obssessed with High School Musical and Fairies. She wanted Italian Chicken for her birthday dinner. She wanted of course High School Musical items for her birthday. We had a nice dinner and cake and ice cream. I wished all birthdays landed on a weekend. It was a whirlwind night. Happy Birthday Katelyn. Keep being a good example and trying hard to be obedient to your parents and Heavenly Father. We love you.

Peterson Family Get Together

I know this it has been a few weeks ago, but I need to catch up. Over New Year's we went up to Island Park with Shawn's family. We headed up New Year's Eve. We enjoyed Cafe Rio that night and played games. The cousins had a fun time with each other. They would stay up until late in the night playing and having fun. The next day, we headed out sledding with the kids. Brandi stayed in the truck keeping it warm in case kids got cold. I tried to get some pictures, but they are a little far away. We then stuffed ourselves in the car to head back for more food and fun.

Uncle Cole and AyaAll stuffed in like sardines

Sledding down the hill.

We made marshmellow guns for the kids and crafts for the ladies. The kids loved to get into the hot tub everytime they could.

The men went snowmobiling everyday. The weather was a little yucky on Friday, but of course Saturday when we are packing up the sun breaks out and it was a beautiful day. The little ones held up pretty well. We might have spent at least one night up with them. I know that these get togethers are a lot of work for everyone involved, but we sure enjoy getting together and spending time with the cousins. I myself love being around the sister in laws and of course my mother in law. This last picture I have to throw in because it is so cute. Brady loves to put shoes on. So here he is in all is glory.
