Macey's Nursery!

Jennie and Matt had us over today to take a look at their finished nursery, and it is so darn cute, what a lucky little boy! He has a ton of stuff, all the luxuries of the baby world. Jennie is having a little blood pressure issue and we're concerned about possibility of toxemia. Please keep her and Macey in your prayers! She only has 17 more days till due date, we're excited to meet Macey, but betting Jennie is more excited!


The happy mommy and daddy! Jennie has some prenatal carpal tunnel too.

Keleigh's Blessing Day!

Keleigh Reese Petersen was given a name and a blessing today! I can't tell you how great it is to have Keleigh in our lives, and her blessing said she would be a light to us and an inspiration, and I have to say she already is! Keleigh is a sweet sweet baby even though she has already had to endure a lot of sickness in her short 3 months, but still she wakes with a smile on her little face. I have included pictures of those in attendance at her blessing today. Grandpa of course got out of his suit before we got the camera ready, "it chokes him" he just can't handle the tie thing! But trust me he looked great, and we're getting Easter pictures done! Jennifer and her family were here and also Jeff and Crystal Norton were here with their three children. We had a nice visit and a yummy lunch after church! What a day!

Braggin!!!!

We have to brag a little about our grandson Griffin (Jennifer's oldest). He is a third grader! He is such a bright fellow and was recently in a spelling bee and went to district and made it pretty far before his elimination, he was actually recognized for being in the top, you'll get'em next year Grif! He also took the Iowa test and scored in the top 10 percent in the nation! Now that is really something to be proud of we think! You go Griff! Then last month he was awarded the Canyon Elementary Champ, recognizing him for being a great student!

Jada (Jennifer's second) has been doing great in school, she is first grade and has gotten several 100's on her spelling tests! She gets to go out for ice cream for every two 100's in a row she gets! She loves her ice cream! Go Jada!

Catching Up! March Birthdays! Valentines!

Sorry we have had lots going on for the last couple months and I have let the bloggin slide! So I am gonna play a little catch up now! So once we got back from our road trip to Oklahoma/Texas there was a ton of things that we had to tend to!

First Sarah had her tonsils out Thursday Jan. 22 and then Thursday Jan. 29th Jennifer had to have a major surgery(girl stuff). Sarah's was outpatient so I took care of the baby that day. Jennifer was in the hospital for 4 days and I stayed down in Payson with her through that and if you have ever spent time at a hospital you know there is no sleep going on there! So I was worn out by the beginning of February!Keleigh was sick for a week or better and then the her breathing got pretty rough so the doctor admitted her to the hospital on the 26th of February with RSV and was there a few days, that was so sad all the IV's and oxygen stuff and her so tiny not understanding, she lost a pound, which is a lot when you only weigh a little over 9! She has been doing much better until today and she is sick again, the doc said there was about a month and half left of this RSV and so we have kept her holed up at home, but I guess it didn't do us any good cause she is feeling poorly again.



Jordan (Jennifers little one born last April) is having ear tubes put in tomorrow!

So February was Chad's birthday and Valentines, both of which were really nice. On Chad's birthday Jennie and Jake and his family came over and had dinner with us and cake and ice cream, I made Chad's favorite, German chocolate! It was a good time but I didn't get many pics so I'll post what I have!



Valentines was wonderful, Chad had a gig on Friday night and by the time he got home of course it was the 14th! So we stayed up all night celebrating Valentines. We exchanged gifts, he got me the open heart pendant from Jane Seymour's collection and I got him a punching bag! Which do you think is the most romantic of the two of us? :) We sat in the hot tub and the best part was we talked and talked all night about so much stuff, it was wonderful!










March brought Jennie's baby shower, Macey is due the 15th of April! She got lots of nice things at her shower and it was really nice to visit with everyone. It was an open house type shower so Chad was invited to, and he and I as well as Sarah and Keleigh all had a good time at the shower. Thanks for the invite Gretchen and Jessie!


Then there was St. Patricks Day yesterday and it was also Hagen's birthday, as well as Darlene(Joe's wife) and Ethan (Jessie's husband)HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Yes all three share the same birthday! I posted already about Haggie's party at Chuck E.'s! Today the 18th is Jarrod's birthday and I texted him this morning to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, it's hard to believe he is 33 today!

Hagen is 4!!! UPDATE with Photos!

Hagen celebrated four years today! What a cutie pie he is! Or am I supposed to change that to handsome now that he is so grown up?? I think it is a Nana's prerogative to call him a cutie pie? :) Chuck E. Cheese was so fun for all the kids (even the 'big' kids)! Happy Birthday Haggie!








We all went to visit Chuck E. Cheese this evening for Hagens 4th Birthday. We had a great time, and Hagen got some great gifts!

Happy Birthday Jim!

Jim you are a great brother! We love you! Here's wishing you many many more of these birthdays!
