Summer Time FUN!

This summer has been sailing away from us this year. I don't know if it is due to the fact that it doesn't really "feel" like summer weather-wise. It has only been warm weather since June, and it is usually quite a bit hotter than it has been. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't a complaint! I have loved the weather being a little cooler! It's nice to be able to go play outside in the middle of the day and not be too hot!

The girls have loved having their Grammie off work for the summer! They have been having weekly "parties"! From the Turtle party, full of painting and hula dancing, to the Kung Fu Panda party, going to the movie and Panda Express. There was the "Picnic in the Park" party, which surprisingly was perfectly named! :) This last one, I think may have been their favorite so far, the "Fancy Hands" party; manicures and fancy hair, done at the salon (well, Evans, it's close right? haha) dancing with Papa and a tea party! They wait weekly for their invitations from Grammie! :)

We were able to break away for the Petersen Family Reunion. What a Blast!! We went to Little Creek Cabin, up Paragonah Canyon. We rode four wheelers, Grandpa's horse, shot clay pigeons, painted faces, eat YUMMY food, and had sooo sooo much fun! I love going to the cabin so much. It is huge, just right for our family! Everyone had a place of their own; and the kiddos LOVED sleeping in the loft!

Just this last weekend, we were able to take our little family and go camping. We went to our coveted spot up by Yankee Meadow. We love it up there. It is cool, beautiful and isn't that far. We took the four wheeler on an Amazing ride. It was bumpy for me, as I was on the back, but it was well worth the bruise. We were able to see down on Yankee Lake, and then drove down the other side to Panguitch lake. Both lakes were full and beautiful! We picniced by the stream and LOVED every peaceful minute. We were sad to come back home to reality, but we sure love our little escapes!

Snack Time

Whenever I feel a little snacky...what do I grab? SLUGS! I can just see and hear you going...ewwwwww gross!! But I sure love them! Robert teases me...but I promise ladies...not a pregnant craving! :0) What are your favorite snacks???

So Neglected!

So I have been thinking about how I have neglected my blog! It is soooooo horrible that I haven't posted in what...like 6 months!! I have just wanted to catch up and catch up, but I can't seem to find time or I didn't have pictures etc. So my thinking is this...I will give you the fast version of the last 6 months and then make sure that I continue POSTING!!!

Robert came home (WONDERFUL!) We went trick 'r treating in the FREEZING cold wind with two of the cutest little witches you have ever seen! We had a quiet little Christmas at home and then an AMAZING FUNTASTICAL trip to Disneyland the day after! My little Kiki turned 3!!!!! I am on my last leg of my twenties (which I am getting okay with!!)

So there you have it! Bring on the new posts! :0) haha

Homecoming!

Well, I have been enjoying myself so much since Robert has been home, that I haven't updated my blog...so slooowly I will be adding what we have been doing since Robert's been HOME!!!

After a really long FOUR MONTHS...Robert came home! The girls and I got to the airport and basically watched Robert's plane land. We RUSHED into the airport and somewhat patiently waited for him to walk the plane...

Robert walked through the door, and Teniah RAN up to him and gave him the biggest hug! I was holding Kiki and we ran over and hugged him so hard!! He reached out to Kierstin and asked her to give him a hug.....



He had been so worried that she'd forget him, and I was worried she would be "afraid" of him for a while once he was home again, but....apparently not!

These girls sure missed their daddy!!!

Almost Graduation!!

Today Robert was prepping his class A uniform for graduation. He sent me this picture!

I love me a man in uniform! Lookin' good honey!

Back 2 School!

Well, Teniah is off! She was SUPER excited to go to school this morning.

My Little/Big 2nd Grader!!

She woke herself up, got dressed, brushed her hair and teeth WAY before it was time to catch the bus!! As she was leaving, she hollered at Kierstin, "Come give me a hug!"

Kierstin ran to her, gave her a hug. Wanted a kiss, so got one of those too. As Teniah was walking out the door, Kierstin yells, " I LOVE you!" So sweet!!

Look at the LOVE!

Then she kept asking me where Teniah was going. School I kept telling her. Then the tears came, I wanna go to school! I wanna go to school! Poor little thing!! So I'm hoping that Amber might be able to do some "school" things with 'lil Kiki today! lol

Fort Petersen

Teniah and Kierstin built a fort tonight. They are currently having a blast playing!!

I love my cute kiddos!
