He's Back!!

Thanksgiving

 More reason to be thankful - Grandpa and Grandma came down to spend Thanksgiving with us, and endured eating at the giggliest Thanksgiving table ever!
Crazy, silly girls

So much fun to have them! 

Feeling Thankful

Luke Turns 3!

 He thinks he's funny.

And since it was his birthday, we thought he was funny too :) 

 We celebrated the big day with a train ride at Poway Park

Followed by some chocolate train cake at the Peterson house.

Happy Birthday Luke!

Halloween

 Pumpkin Picking

 Livie the Ladybug

 Megan as Priness Leia

The whole gang, with Luke the ninja

Weekend visitors

 Look who stopped by for a visit in October! 

(Not Olivia, she actually lives here, just never misses a chance to be in a picture :))

 We had so much fun with the HIllams - watching football, playing at Coronodo Island,

and eating really fast melting ice cream.  

We think they should stop by every weekend!

Yay!  2 weeks of leave from Afghanistan = 2 weeks of lots of fun!

Home for good would have been better, but we'll take what we can get.  

  

Kindergarten Graduate

Well done, little graduate!

Happy 9th!

 Can you tell that we love presents?

 Especially on birthdays!

 Happy 9th Miss Addie

 Glad it was a fun one for you!

No more thumb

There is one less thumb sucker in the world today.  Thanks to some brand new barbie roller skates!

You'd think she'd look a little happier about it :)

Congratulations Miss Olivia!

Easter

The community Easter egg hunt, with another special guest!  This time little miss Avery flew down with Esther to spend spring break with us.

And it was so fun to have them!

Even despite a bad stomach virus (that we were nice enough to share)

we still found time to party.

And aren't they pretty in their matching blue dresses!

What could be more fun than that!
