HAPPY FATHERS DAY

For Fathers Day, we bought David a porch swing. He has wanted one for a while so we finally bought him one. It took him a few hours to put it together but now it is up and he loves it! We love to go sit on it at night when it cools down and just enjoy the night sky. Look how happy he is!! Happy Fathers day to David (even though he is not a father yet) and to all the other Fathers out there!

TO THE MOUNTAIN!

I had the opportunity to go to girls camp this year as I am the 2nd counselor in the young womans presidency. It was so so much fun! We went to Cedar Mountain and it was so beautiful there. We arrived on Wednesday and stayed til Saturday. We kept busy with crafts, workshops, searching for a hidden rock that was painted silver that was hidden in the mountain, devotionals and testimony meetings.

It was so much fun getting to know these girls better. They gave me a nickname because they can never remember if my last name is Peterson or Patterson so they call me Peter Patter. It was so funny. I loved hanging out with them and running all over trying to find that darn rock with them. I loved hearing their sweet testimonies and seeing their unique personalities.

I am so grateful for all the beautiful young women in my ward!

We slept in these box car things that look like they came off a train. They had converted them into a place to sleep with 3 tier bunk beds. I of course got to sleep on the top. It was a little scary. But not bad. We called it our concentration camp because it was so funny looking. These things housed like 20 something beds each. It was crazy!

This is the cute Megan! She was very devoted in looking for that darn silver painted rock that she took off her shoes and waded in mud up to her knees looking for it.

Just a few of the super fun girls that I got to hang out with all week!
Megan, Lindy, Sadie, Caity, Savanna, Lauren, Me, and Braidee
These are most of the girls that were at camp. There are a few missing from this picture. I love all these cute girls!!
I came home to see this cute sign waiting for me when I came in the door. My sweet husband missed me. How cute is that?

WELCOME KYLE SCHERBEL!

I had a new little nephew on Saturday June 11! I was so excited to hear of his arrival! I may be biased but I am pretty sure that now I have 4 of the cutest nephews ever!

HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

It has been a wild ride but we have been married 1 year! It has been amazing! I am so grateful to be married to somebody who is so wonderful. I picked an amazing man. I have always known what I wanted and he was definately worth the wait. We have had such an amazing time being married! I love him so so much and hope for many more amazing years to come!

Happy Anniversary to my sweet Husband!

EASTER 2011

For Easter every year, even though I am all grown up, we still have an Easter egg hunt. I always did it with my family before I was married and now that I live far away and don't see my family, I made David do it with me. I woke up early and hid all the eggs so he did not know. When we woke up in the morning, the Easter bunny had come! He was a little excited though I don't think he would admit it. I made him gather up all the eggs while I took pictures. He does not really like pictures but he needs to learn to like them if he is going to be married to me! He is such a good sport! Sure love him!

Did I do that?

MY NEW JOB!

Well I made a giant decision and decided to change jobs. I felt really bad because I just kind of left my previous job high and dry but I pondered on this decision for about a month. And I am so so glad I did it. I went back to work for Lin's pharmacy in Hurricane. David and I eventually want to make a permament home there and it would be so convenient to work close to home. I worked there before about 4 years ago when I lived down here and I loved the people and the job. I am so excited to not have to do any bubble packing anymore! What a horrible job to do every day of your life!

My first day back I walked in to see this! They had this awesome welcome home sign. And I really have felt like I am home! What a great feeling.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!

For David's birthday we went down to Las Vegas to the Byu finals game. His dad's birthday is the day before David's so it was a double date to the game. We had a lot of fun. We went to eat at Sweet Tomatoes for lunch and then went to the game. It was real exciting! We ended up losing, but the game was still very fun.

I'm so grateful for my wonderful husband. He is so very special to me. For family home evening at the Peterson's we go around the circle and tell why we love that person on their birthday. I want David to know I love him for so many reasons.

He is a wonderful husband to me,

he treats me so so good,

he looks oh so good,

he does anything for me to make me happy,

he loves me with all his heart,

and he is my best friend.

Love ya monkey!

WIZARD OF OZ?

Today David broke out the bikes! Mine has this fun little basket on the front and we had this crazy idea to put our little Pootie inside and take him for a ride. He was super scared at first and peed in the basket but after awhile, I think he really enjoyed it. David said he felt like he was in the wizard of oz riding around toto in his bike. ha ha! We rode him about a mile before he decided to be retarded and jump out of the basket and have me almost run over him. He looked so super cute though so I had to take a little video. Look how calm and relaxed he looks inside with his little arm hanging over the edge. Sorry for the most awesome photography you have ever seen. The last picture is just so cute of him cuddling with his daddy. I had to post it. He is so much fun! He gets cuter every day.

WELCOME HOME ELDER!

David's brother returned home from his mission yesterday. He served in Georgia. It was so much fun to make a poster and go to the airport to welcome him home. I was kind of expecting to him to act like we were aliens and not talk to us like Buddy did when he came home but Elder Peterson was totally normal and talked to everyone. He was extremely happy and glowing when he walked off that plane. What a sweet experience. We are so excited to have him home!
