Welcome Two Thousand Nine!!

Well 2009 has come. Horray! I love starting out a new year, it means new resolutions. This year Cody and I decided to get ready! Ready for what we don't exactly know, but ready we'll be! Our resolutions are: LOSE WEIGHT!, Read Scriptures nightly, Family Home Evening, Start our food storage, and my personal resolution is to have dinner as a family every night.

My dad has so graciously given my family incentive for losing weight, the Peterson Family Biggest Loser Contest! $5 a pound! I'm already at $25 bucks! But on top of that incentive, Cody and I are going to match what my dad gives us and go on another honeymoon (babyless :)) Find a babysitter for one night and go to the little bed and breakfast that we spent our first night as a married couple (where the magic happened....) and also do a session at the Manti Temple. If that doesn't knock 20 pounds off me, I don't think anything will!

Well Happy New Year!

Christmas!

Well Christmas is very quickly approaching. This year for some odd reason (cough cough CARTER cough cough) Cody and I are really looking forward Christmas day. We are staying home this year so that we can enjoy Carter's first Christmas without the stress and worry of traveling in Wyoming's unpredictable weather. Cody's mom is coming from Ogden, and Dan and Laura and their kids will be here too.

Also this year we have quite a bit less money than we have had in the past years. Me not working and the addition of another person probably has had something to do with that. So for us this year is not about the gifts we want, or the food we will be eating, or how elaborately our home is decorated; it is about the birth of our Savior. With Carter in our lives we have realised what a miracle Christ is. We have the opportunity to be an eternal family because of him and his sacrifice. We are SO very blessed! We are grateful for Christ and miracle of his birth, and the meaning of Christmas. We hope you all have the merriest of Christmas'!

THANK YOU CARLIE!!!!!

Carlie is the greatest EVER!!!! She helped me figure out how to make my page not look stupid! ha ha! And how to add my Friends and Family! YAY!!!!!!!! Thats all, just wanted to say thanks!!!

Well hmmm...as you can see I'm an exceptional blogger.....Carter is taking his "long morning snooze" so I guess I will dink around and see if I can figure this out!

Since my last blog not much has actually happened! Cody resumed school and I quit my job so now we are broke, but Cody is educated, and we LOVE IT!

Carter can now sit up, roll over, and scoot all over the room. In no time at all he will be crawling and before I know it he'll be off on a mission! Oh how the time flies!

Here are some of my favorite Things:

Baby finger foods that make a HUGE mess, but they are so fun!!


Family photos! GO POKES!!!

Yes, I have a picture of my Kitchenaid. I love it!

I Love the big metal bowl that has provided DAYS of entertainment for Carter!

TOYS!!!!!!!

There are SOOO many more things that I love, But alas the long morning snooze has ended! So until next time......

Oh! a Bolg!
