Pole Creek Picnic

On Labor Day, we took the family to the Pole Creek Sinkhole for a picnic. It was a lot of fun! The kids really enjoyed the hike down to the river!


Brendan enjoying his lunch!


This was Sammy's first hike. She had a blast! She is seriously a little monkey! She was also really excited about seeing all the rocks. When she saw the river, she said "Look at those rocks! They're swimming!!!" She makes us laugh so hard sometimes!


JR goofing around, as usual!



Christian in his Indiana Jones hat. Just like Daddy!

The Kids and Cousin Paige

The day we had Tonya take our family pictures was also the day that she, Alex, and Paige were leaving to head back to New Mexico, so Grandma and Grandpa Peterson asked if they could take some pictures of all their grandkids together. It was really nice to be able to spend a little more time with them before they left. The kids miss Paige like crazy! She is such an adorable little girl! We love you Paige!!!

This picture totally fits these girls' personalities!

Awwwww!!!! JR loves Paige so much!

What sweeties!

Hmmmmm... for some reason Brendan doesn't exactly get along with Paige. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they have such similar personalities!

The 5 grandkids.

Family Pictures '09

We had our wonderfully talented sister-in-law, Tonya, take our family pictures again last month. She did an awesome job! We love how they turned out!

We also asked Tonya to take a few pictures of just the two of us for our 10th Anniversary. Wow, I can't believe it has been that long!!! Time really does fly!

Christian's Birthday

In my rush to update our blog, I almost forgot to post Christian's birthday pictures! Well, better late than never! Here they are...



Christian is a really great kid, but a very picky eater! What kid doesn't like birthday cake?!!! That would be Christian! I decorated cookie bars instead. It turned out pretty interesting!
