I have decided to go private with our blog for numerous reasons but wanted to give family a heads up, if you are one of the very few readers of our blog (haha) please shoot me an email or leave a coment on this posting. Thanks!

In the Land of Pink

2010-02-05T12:50:00.001-08:00

She's finally here!! Sadie Elaine Peterson, 6 lbs 13 oz, and 19.5 in. Whew, so glad she was a little one, no more eight pounders for me!! She is so sweet and has us all wrapped around her little finger. Wyatt just loves her and he keeps saying that we should should keep her forever and ever, cute. Wes wasn't so sure but he is slowly warming up to her and wants to touch her all the time. As for Jer, well she just melted him into a little puddle of goo, I love it!!

Some fun Pics

2010-01-08T14:11:00.000-08:00

So I am finally posting another blog. Due to some disagreements between our camera and computer we haven't' been able to post pics, but hopefully that's all fixed now. We successfully made it through December (our crazy month) with our anniversary, Christmas and Wyatt's Birthday, whew that was a crazy week!! Now things are settling down and we are just awaiting the arrival of our final family member!! Here are just some fun pictures of the boys.

Who could resist that face?!

The two of them helping with the dishes, teaching them young!

This was the bubble game at the Festival of Trees that Wyatt was dying to try, he loved it!

I'm the Biggest Blog Slacker!!

2009-09-16T13:08:00.000-07:00

So I am really not good at keeping our blog updated. I will get on here and see my friends keeping up with the times so here is my attempt at catching up.....
A few things have happened lately, the most exciting of them is the news that we are having a GIRL!! Hooray!! We are so excited (sorry to the family who we forgot to tell that we were expecting!) I have to say that Wyatt was the cutest when it came to the news. He wanted a sister so badly (that will probably change as they get older!) and when we told him that it was a girl he did this little jig and was singing he gets a sister, so cute! Then he said that he thinks Jesus wanted us to have a girl and just about made me cry, he's so sweet.
Another exciting thing that happened was that Jeremy passed all his requirements for the job he's been waiting on so now we are just waiting for the phone call t0 come telling us where we get to move! Exciting and nerve racking!! It'll still going to be awhile, we've been told that the wait time is close to four months and with my luck he will probably go to the academy right when the baby is due. I'm crossing my fingers that that won't happen!
Other little things that have happened... ~Wyatt started preschool and he is loving it, so is mom!!
And we are finally down to only owning three cars, that's what happens when you marry a car guy!Just kidding honey! I think on average we've always had about five!
Whew, I think that about does it for now. Until next time!

A Sad, Sad Day

2009-06-24T16:04:00.000-07:00

Monday was a horrible day. Our Little dog Jaxson died after suddenly getting sick over the weekend. We really don't know what happened, the only thing we can figure is that he must have had some serious health problems that we never really knew about. He was such a good dog, perhaps the world's smelliest dog, but a good dog none the less. He was so great with the boys and kept me company while Jeremy was away. We'll miss him so much!

man food

2009-05-05T20:08:00.000-07:00

65 fastback one day I will finish it

ok well I get on here with Heather every once in awhile and browse. I am guessing that others do the same so I thought a little man food was in order. Here are a few pics from the moab car show to break up all the cutsey pics. (not saying they are bad)

Heather looks good next to this lead sleded 50' merc. This was her favorite at the show and one day she wants to own one. I guess I will just have to build one for her!

here is my dad next to a cool wagon still in the crate. The wood on this is actually painted on.

One day my mustang will look this good? This car gave me some good ideas.

Canyonlands

2009-04-28T08:10:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we went down to Moab for the Moab Car Show (Jeremy was going through withdrawls!) We decided to go over to Canyonlands and hike around. The boys did better than I expected and we all had a good ol' time!

Here's Wes on top of the world! It really looks like a backdrop!

We couldn't get Wyatt to just smile for any pictures so here is his "pose". He was cracking us up!

The boys really didn't seem to care about the view so they decided the dirt was more fun!

Here is Wes squished like a bug. He really did not like being in there!

Go Wes Go!

2009-03-16T10:08:00.000-07:00

Hooray!! Wes took his first steps this weekend!! He's so silly. He still hasn't gotten the hang of it completely and whenever we get excited that he's doing it he thinks its a game and falls down and laughs. Ah, good times!!

2009-02-23T12:00:00.000-08:00

Ok, so it's been a while since I've updated my blog! Here are some of the things we have been up to since December.

California Vacation

2009-02-23T11:37:00.000-08:00

We went down to California for my dad's surprise party for his 70th birthday. Phew Dad you're old!!JK! While we were down we went to the San Diego Zoo which I have to say I was a little disappointed in. After the zoo we ended up getting lost in downtown San Diego and we came across the U.S.S Midway so we stopped and did the tour which was pretty neat. The ship is huge and you are able to go all throughout it. On the deck of the ship they had all different kinds of old war planes and helicopters that Wyatt loved.

The passage ways were so narrow and the doorways are so low, I don't know how many times Jer hit his head!

Jeremy and Wyatt in the Brig.

Walking with Dinosaurs

2009-02-23T11:30:00.000-08:00

In January Elaine took us, John and Trevor to see Walking with Dinosaurs. It was an awesome show, but the best part was watching Wyatt's facial expressions. For the first 15 minutes he had his head buried in Jer's chest while he used Jer's jacket as curtains around his face. He was so scared. Once we got him to look he was so excited and he would point out all the different dinos an surprisingly he could name a lot of them, better than I could do!

Crazy Wes

2009-02-23T11:25:00.000-08:00

These pictures crack me up. Wes has been so curious about the washing machine so I helped him out a little. He thought it was pretty funny until the basin started to sway! He's such funny kid, and he does a good job of keeping us entertained!

Wow. Six Years!!!

2009-02-23T11:18:00.000-08:00

For our anniversary we stayed in SLC, just a little get away for the two of us. We went to Temple Square and saw the lights and of course it had to be one of the coldest nights of the year! Happy Anniversary to us!

Tagged!

2008-11-25T14:32:00.000-08:00

So Jamie tagged me and the game is that you are supposed to go to the fourth picture in the fourth folder on your computer and post it, well here is mine. Not very exciting, I know, but this is our lovely tear drop trailer that we no longer use since our family has gotten too big. It just so happens that it is for sale so maybe it was meant to be posted!! Anyway, I tag Bobbi, Brooke, and Stacey!!

Halloween!!

2008-11-20T10:34:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween!! Ok so its the middle of November and I am really bad at blogging but oh well!! This was our family on Halloween, two of the cutest monkeys around!! Jeremy decided that he wanted a mohawk and I wasn't totally thrilled with the idea but it turnout to be really funny! A lot of people couldn't tell if it was for Halloween or if he was for real. The funniest story is that he shaved it on Thursday night and went to work on Friday, when he got home he got out of the car and walked over to get the mail, while another car was pulling up a little girl was about to get out when her mom saw Jer and stopped her. They waited until Jer was across the street before the mom would get out and get the mail herself. I guess you have to understand that Jer usually wears all black to work since he gets dirty and he really did look like a hoodlum. I laughed so hard that this mom was afraid to let her daughter out of the car because for those of you who know Jer you know how quiet and mellow he is and it just didn't fit his personality. All in all we had a fun Halloween and can't wait to see what Jeremy will do next year!!

The Fashion Police

2008-11-20T10:26:00.000-08:00

This picture cracks me up! This is what Wyatt was wearing one morning when I woke up. He likes to dress himself and sometimes he does very well and others, well lets just say he has a great sense of style!!

Thanksgiving Point Scarecrow Festival

2008-11-20T10:05:00.000-08:00

Elaine and I took a Saturday when Jer was working and went to the Festival. It was lots of fun to watch Wyatt play the games and his favorite thing was the bouncy house, we couldn't get him out of them! All in all it was a great time!!

Exciting Vacation to Tropic!

2008-10-07T12:19:00.000-07:00

So this summer went by way too fast and since Jer had to work so much we were never able to go on a real vacation. Our Friend Sheldon invited us down to Tropic which is this really tiny town right below Bryce Canyon National Park so we decided to go down for the weekend. It was nice to get away and the scenery is so pretty down there. We decided to come back home by driving out through Escalante which is probably one of the prettiest scenic byways. Wyatt had so much fun riding the horse and the pony and Wes was a trooper being in the car all that time!

A Night at Lagoon!

2008-10-07T12:08:00.000-07:00

Last month we went to Lagoon with Elaine and the rest of the Schurter gang for NuSkin's summer party and had a blast! Wyatt loved the rides, his face was so serious while he was riding but he always wanted to get back in line to go again! It was just nice to have a family outing and one where Jeremy was able to come!!

Jer's Job!

2008-09-09T13:17:00.000-07:00

I thought that I would show you what Jeremy gets to do all day since he gets a lot of questions about where he works and what the cars look like. As you can see his car obsession got the better of him when we graduated and he got a job doing what he loves!

My first blog!!

2008-09-02T15:26:00.000-07:00

So after much debate and some encouragement from friends I have decided to write a blog. Since I really am not good at this sort thing I have decided to post some of the fun and sometimes crazy things that have happened this summer. Enjoy!!!

For the Fourth of July we got to ride in the parade with my brother Kevin and his family showing off the counties new truck! It was a blast and Wyatt thought it was pretty cool.

This picture of Wes was funny to me because of the story behind it. The kids and I were in the back yard filling up Wyatt's pool when Wyatt decided to grab the hose and shoot me point blank with it, so now I am sopping wet and I go up stairs to change clothes really fast only to come out and see Wyatt holding the hose over Wes' head and now he is sopping wet! The only thing that kept Wyatt out of trouble was the fact that Wes thought it was so funny and was laughing the whole time. Lesson learned, Wyatt cannot be trusted with the hose!

One weekend in July we went caneoing with Jeremy's parents and brother up at Payson Lakes. It was soooo realaxing and Wyatt had so much fun in the canoe he had to go out every time! The other picture is Wes having a good old time with Grandma!

The scariest thing that happened to us ths summer was being evacuated because of the wild fire on the mountain behind our house! It was so stressful and crazy. We never actually left our house but we had the car and our little trailer all packed and ready to go. We watched with our neighbors as the fire jumped across the mountain toward our house and we started packing when Kevin, my brother who is with Utah County Fire, called and said to get out. The fire came close but luckily the wind died down and they were able to control it before it jumped the canyon road. All in all a very stressful, smokey and hot night!

I love this picture! One of Wyatt's favorite things to do is build forts with the couch cushions, he'll spend forever playing in them and he loves to drag the dog in with him, the dog doesn't love it so much but it's still really funny.
