Funny things kids say...

Yesterday (Memorial Day) the kids were asking me what Memorial Day was? Personally I think they were looking for some presents or candy, thing of that nature. So I explained to them it was the day that we remember people who have died for our country. So Caleigh said...
"Oh, like Jesus?"
my reply...
"No, not really, we are supposed to remeber him everyday."

Guess it's time to get our FHE night's back on track.

Make us an Offer.

So...(drumroll) we got an offer on our house!! Yeah (balloons, streamers). It was much lower than we were hoping, but with the market the way it is, all I can say is, we are just grateful to have any offer! Our closing date is June 24th. Which works out perfectly because we are rolling out June 25th for New Hampshire.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers. I know the Lord is watching out for us.

Two wheels are better than Four

Even Elliot got in on the act!

The Peterson household has been working on riding without training wheels for some time. Miles masters the skill last summer, but Caleigh was not feeling ready. And I wasn't letting Griffin try last year! But this year we are proud to announce there are no training wheels on any Peterson bike. Of course our bandaid budget has gone up significally, but I would say it was worth it. Just look at those happy faces.

Congratulations Mike!!

What an event. I am so glad Mike agreed to walk the line, I firmly believe you should celebrate all your accomplishments. One of the speakers, I can't remember which one, talked about all the different obstacles people face trying to get to graduation. Jobs, Kids, families, deaths, etc. It hit me how much Mike had to deal with while working on his Masters. I also like how the speaker said, "it's not by luck that your here today." I thought about how true his words were. Mike had to work so hard for every "A" he got it wasn't just luck. I am so appreciative to have such a great provider for me and my children.

Thanks everyone who could attend!

I figured it out!!

Mike's Graduation Announcement Photos

So this past Saturday we headed down to BSU to snap some photo's for Mike's graduation announcment. For all of you who don't recieve one in the mail I am trying to figure out how to post it on my blog. If it doesn't work, It's Saturday the 17th of May at BSU pavillion. Just in case you are in town. Anyway here are my favorite photo's from the "shoot."

Griffin and the Girls

Just another great day in our household. Actually Mike took these photo's of the kids. Something about Griffin Playing the Wii with his adoring sisters watching him was so cute. Do you love how interested Elliot is?
Caleigh is loosing interest and going back to her Magazine-how grownup of her.
The "twins." We always tell Griff, that Elliot is his twin. They both do look a lot a like. And it's a contest of who gets away with the most stuff with there shared smile!
