10 Year Anniversary !!

Wow I have been married for ten years !!! It feels so weird to say that because 10 years is a mile stone
and honestly it dose not feel like it's been 10 years.
I love Chace more today then the day I married him . We have been through a lot together these past 10 years. We've watched each other grow and have learned so much about each other it's been quite a ride but worth every minute. I think about that song by Blake Shelton "God gave me you for the ups and downs " and I am so glad god gave me Chace, there's no one else who I'd rather be with on this journey of life with :) Thank you sweetheart for the last 10 years I love you so much.

It was Ryker & Jenacee's first time . We had a good time going to all the different show's
 Sea Lion 

Shamou

Dolphin

And a Pets Rule show with all kinds of cute smart animals. 

Universal Studios Califorina

It has FINALLY come ... on our way to Disneyland with the hole Peterson clan (It was our Christmas from Grandma Opal:) . Our family Devan & Nicoles family and Grandma Opal left a day before all the others. Kids were all pumped and excited to get on the road we only made it to about Santaquin and Ryker says "Mom are we almost there?" I looked at Chace and said really it's already starting ha ha what a LONG ride this is going to be . We stopped in St.George for lunch then back on the road.  Our next destination was Primm Nevada where we stayed the night. We woke up early the next day to make it to Universal Studios Hollywood at a good time sense it closed at 5.. We still had to stop a lot for potty breaks and diaper changes but we finally made it after a long ride in the car of " Are we there yet??"

It's been quite a few years sense I've been back to Universal and was sad to hear that the ET ride was no longer there! with that said we had fun going on the Jurassic park,Simpson's and the Mummy ride. We even hit a few cool shows Water World, Shrek 3D, behind the Sean's and the tram ride. I love seeing the excitement in Ryker, Kynlee, Baylie and even the babies Jenacee and Mackley when we came in sight of CHARACTERS ... even though Jenacee didn't want to get to close she still liked to see Her Dora and would wave to her :) so cute. Ryker's favorite characters that we saw were Hop and Shrek. We had a 2 day pass to Universal Studios and so on our way home from Disneyland we hit it again but this time grandma Opal didn't come with us:(

We spent a lot of time getting all the kids pictures drawn into cartoons . We all used the same guy he did a amazing job on all the pictures:) I'm sure his had was tired by the time he was through:) We even decided between us and Devan & Nicole to surprise Grandma Opal with one of her and Rob. He used my phone to look at the picture on Opal's face book. I think it turned out so cute and looks just like them. When we gave it to her she cried she LOVED it !!!

Ryker's 6TH Birthday

Happy 6th Birthday to my handsome boy Ryker !! I can not believe he is 6 !!! I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday . Time is going by so fast and my little boy is growing up I just though he would stay little forever but as my mother in law would say if he didn't grow then something would be wrong with him . Ryker has been such a joy to our family . He's a goof ball at heart he's always dancing and making us laugh . He's such a good big brother to his sissy she just adores him. Ryker is a happy kid who is just content playing with his toys , shooting hoops with the neighbor boys, playing his DS, riding his bike and entertaining his sister.

We love you so much Ryker dude.

Ryker was happy that he got a new bike !!!

Angry birds cakes were a bit of a challenge for me. I made the frosting and then it was time to get Ryker from school so off I went. Came back to start decorating and the frosting wouldn't stick to the cakes !!! so I started panicking because I only had a little over a hour till his party so I called my mother in law and she came to the rescue . She was a great help to me in a hurry . Problem was I left the icing out to harden instead of decorating right away !! Live and learn I guess :) but after that I though they turned out pretty cute and Ryker was happy with them.

Going bowling last year for his birthday was such a success that he wanted to do it again. We love going to Jack & Jills in Lehi not only for the bowling but for the yummy food ! we had pizza and couldn't go without the famous greasy home made Fry's :) yum yum .

Ryker done good with all his gifts thanks everyone !!!!

So, So Behind... Fall time

I love FALL TIME at Gardner Villiage !! Ryker also likes to go see all the dressed up witches and get his picture taken by them ..Sissy on the other hand didn't quite know what to think of them and wouldn't hold still long enought to get a picture. Jill and Kash was with us too but little kash was unhappy because he threw up in the car on the way up so his clothes were all wet :(

As Halloween got closer we had a Halloween party at Aunt Hollies house . The kids had a good time going to all the differant stations that we did with fun activaties at each one . Grandma Opal dressed us as a witch and would talk to the kids in her witch talk and ever so often let out her witch laugh the kids loved it .

HALLOWEEN DAY !!!!
2011

2 of our nieghbor girls were also Minnie Mouse so we just had to get there pictures taken with little Jenacee .

Kash was the cuttest little duckie around :)

Jenacee loves to carry around he Mickey :)

Grandma Mel made her yummy chilie and bread stixs and I made a sausage corn chowder for our Halloween dinner. We decided to go trick-or-treating before we ate while it was still light outside.

Ryker was a Knight this year and picked out his own costume, he was super excited to go trick-or-treating this year.

Jenacee thought she was so big walking with the big kids holding her pumpkin bucket.

Trick-or-treating around grandma Mel's house. It was perfect jacket weather . We went walking around my old neighborhood with Paula her grandsons Conner and Austin and Jill. It was fun going around and seeing people from my home ward one in particular I like to visit is Liz Frost she is always so cute with the kids along with the Coddingtons and Haskells:)

After we left grandma Mel's house we went by grandma Opal's to eat more soup (taco soup) and see all the cousins in there Halloween costumes..It's always so fun to see all the kids dressed up. Something we always have to do when were at grandma Opals on Halloween is walk across the street to the Tuckets to get a fresh glazed donut that they do on there front porch:) then we headed down the road to trick-or-treat at the Thomas home.

Christmas 2011

Ryker was so excited to walk down the stairs to see what Santa brought him. Little sissy didn't know what was going on. Daddy went down to get the camera and video camera ready and Grandma Opal was down stairs waiting to see the kids faces light up with joy !!!

Well they both were surprised to see what Santa brought them Ryker his first BIG remote control truck and sissy her first baby doll :)

Jenacee loved her new baby doll and even fed her a bottle and gave her a push in the stroller it was to cute :)

Ryker was happy that he got a new pirate ship !!! He loved everything he got

We were so happy to spend Christmas morning with grandma Opal this year and I think the kids thought it was fun .. Thanks grandma Opal for taking us to Disneyland in February for our Christmas!!

My 2 sweet kiddos Love them so much !!

Grandpa and Grandma Jorgensen came over Christmas morning to spread there joy . They always know how to make our kids happy :) thanks Mom and Dad for all the great gifts love you both very much.

Later Christmas day we made our way to see Grandma Jorgensen , Jenacee wasn't to thrilled to sit on her lap .

Christmas evening we went to my Mom and Dads to visit with my grandma Allan and once again Jenacee wasn't to happy to sit for another photo . Mom and Dad went to her house Christmas day for Christmas lunch and brought her back home with them . While we stayed at home at grandma Opals to eat and relax :) We all had a wonderful Christmas this year and sure missed those who are not here with us ..

Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve at grandma and grandpa Jorgensens is a fun time we look forward to every year. Jamie and Scott come almost every year and bring there kids. We eat lots of yummy food like turkey, ham, cheese potatoes, rolls, little smokies and lots of dips and chips :) grandma and grandpa always let them open up one present on Christmas Eve (usually a toy to play with) keeps the kids busy so us adults can relax and talk.



It is always a tradition every Christmas Eve night to visit my brothers grave, the sacks have little candles in them to light his grave up:) Christmas was his favorite holiday. We love and miss him so much..

We then made our way to Lehi to visit grandpa Sam's grave..

We love and miss you grandpa Sam!!!

Last but not least our last stop before we headed home was to go to grandpa Rob's grave.

It still doesn't seem real that Rob is gone , even though he is always near it still is so hard .

We love and miss you grandpa Rob !!

We made our way home not long after when grandma Opal came over to spend the night so she could spend Christmas morning with us. Sense Rob is gone she will be taking turns with each of her kids and there families. We were so happy our turn was this year and sad to think she wont be back for another 5 years!! Our kids will be so big by then :(

We all opened up pj's that night and watched Santa Clause 2 then it was off to bed after we put cookies out for Santa of course.. Ryker was so excited that grandma was sleeping in his bed and he on the floor. He still had a hard time falling asleep his words were "I'm to excited to sleep mom " it so reminded me of how I was when I was his age it was cute:)
