Looks like we need to update some pictures on here. 2012 - Now

 Lucian's 2nd Birthday. No frosting but it's glazed. Yeah, didn't have any bday candles.

That's not a yawn, she's trying to eat her Aunt Cristi.

So there's a story involved with this one. I had made Lucian a peanut butter sandwich. There was a small piece left so I decided to give it to Tai and see how she handled the nuts. So I'm washing dishes and Lu keeps coming up to me and saying that Tai had peanut butter and I should take it away. Well I knew the piece didn't have that much on it so if he was so worried about it he could take it away while I finished up. He kept coming back and I realized that the smell of peanuts was very strong; too strong. I went into the hallway any found Tai like this; up to her elbows in peanut butter, smeared all over the carpet and walls and as proud and happy as I have ever seen her. I just couldn't find it in me to be upset. We laughed and cleaned it up.

Lucian's 3rd birthday. We had a party at the local splash pad with our friends and neighbors, the Infangers. My brother Micah even showed up.

I had fun making this Lightning McQueen cake. Much easier than I thought it would be!

He is soooo BIG. Already fitting into 4 yr old clothes. Need to start buying 5 yr old ones.

 Tai is such a sweetheart; she follows her big brother everywhere, even though he keeps beating her up. That's unconditional love for you.

Say hello to the newest Petersen - Tai'rehn Myrna.

Born Jan. 18, 2012. It was a very fast delivery. Fifteen minutes after we got to the hospital she was born.

With her Aunt Cristi

The siblings together. Lucian loves to hold her.

This Halloween Lucian went as a knight, Sir Lucian the dragon slayer, and Brett went as the dragon. I knitted him a "chain mail" hood, which he didn't really like to wear and he had a sword and shield. Unfortunately we could never get a picture of him in his full outfit, but he looked very cute.

After the first house he wanted to sit down and check out his two pieces of candy but after a few more houses he began to get the hang of it and was soon running after his friends to the next house. He couldn't say 'trick or treat' but he waved 'bye' to everyone who gave him candy!

We got back around 7pm and Grammie and Lucian had fun making a ball pit out of a container.

Straw Maze Fun

Yesterday evening we went to a straw maze out by Big Judds in Archer. It was so much fun! We put Lucian down when we first got in and he just took off running, he decided to be the leader of the group. We had a fun time trying to keep up with him. It took us a good 45 minutes to get through it, it was very well made. We kept running into these poor scouts that started before us, they could not seem to find the right path to the second half of the maze.

It was a good thing we started when we did, the sun had just set when we walked out the exit. There is no way that I would want to go through that maze at night. There were covered passages that were very creepy, we used our cell phones as flash lights. Yes, defiantly not at night and most defiantly not through the haunted maze they do on the weekends.

Having fun at the Zombie Walk in Rexburg, Idaho!

Brett won the award for best make-up.
