Jr. Jazz

This was Tyler's first year playing & he loved it!
It was fun to have his friend Nash on the team...
 He always had fun playing...
He always had a smile on his face...
Libby caught this "action" shot on my phone...
He had a great team with a nice coach...
I think Tyler found a sport he really likes!
He was also pretty excited to get his very first trophy!

Reflections 2013

Believe, Dream, Inspire...
This was the theme this year for the reflections contest.  Libby entered a drawing & won an award at school & then was part of the regional level of the contest.
We are very proud of her!

This is a part of her statement:
"My drawing is showing that you'll reach a point where you get where you want to be, and you'll be able to look down on everything you've done and see the progress you've made.  It will feel wonderful! Then you find a new mountain to climb."

 
Good Job, Libby! 
I'm consistently amazed with all you have accomplished...Keep up the good work!!

Christmas Dance...

In December, Libby's dance class shared a few dances they had been working on.
 She still loves dance!
It's fun to see her improving.  
The other day, I got an email from her teacher that was so sweet!
Hi Sally, 
I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed getting to know Libby. She's so sweet and works so hard. I know she hasn't had as much dance experience as some of these girls in the class, but she never lets it get to her. She has improved so much and has such a willing attitude. She's such a pleasure to have in class. Tell her to keep up the good work.


I think that was so sweet of her teacher & it made Libby's whole face light up!  
She really does try so hard at everything she does, it's such a great quality to have!!

Happy New Year, 2014!

We actually took pizza to my parent's house this year because we had started the demolition of our kitchen.
At first, we didn't think we'd make it until midnight...
 Especially Steve, Here he was at 7:15!
Sound asleep!
We hung out...



Sherry gave out haircuts...
This is how my Great Grandpa Erastus wore his hair...
Tyler looked just like him...It was funny!
 Here he is looking much better for the new year!
We played games...
I think Shelly & Tyler were winning!
Zack was pretty serious about his checkers match with Tyler.
Sophie watched, Doc McStuffins...
 The girls hung out...
 Then it was finally midnight...
 
It was officially the year 2014!
Grandma yelled out the window to all the kids, when the clock struck 12:00!
 We celebrated with sparklers...
 Zack was the first one to get them lit up!
 Shelly...
 Sophie was even awake...
 Libby looking good in her "party" hat...
Tyler with his sparkler...
 All the kids...
 Sherry is one talented gal...She made us all hats out of the newspaper!
 Steve joined the party...
With his own kind of party hat!
 
Sophie's was a little too big...
 
She made it work!
 I love these kids...
 
 They are excited for a new year!
 Welcome 2014!!

Peterson Christmas Party 2013

This year we went to Grandma & Grandpa's house for breakfast.
I only got a few pictures, but the kids had a lot of fun decorating gingerbread cookies.
At first, Sophie wasn't sure what to do...

Then she decided to take a bite!!

Libby joined in on the fun...

 Then Zack....
 And finally, Tyler...
They turned out cute!
 Sophie was so proud of hers...
 Zack loved his too...
 Well, Maybe?
Tyler's turned into a cute little man...
 Thanks Grandma!
 The kids had fun!
