Halloween Parties!

Devin told everyone that we were Farmville for Halloween although neither of us even knows what it is...

The cutest little cow you have ever seen.

Now that Jamie & Mike are living in NM I was put in charge of the friend Halloween Party. I had some BIG shoes to fill, Jamie always puts on a great party. Although it was not quite the same as when Jamie & Mike host we still had a great time. The costumes seem to get better and better every year. The winners for this years costume party were... Megan & Ty, the family of chickens! And the best part of the night... Jamie & Mike drove all the way up to surprise everyone at the party!

Somehow we even got Diane to dress up for Halloween this year.

Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins (not to mention gingerbread houses) seems to get a little more extravagant every year. With all this competition Devin had created coming up with a unique idea is a must. This year he carved a Japanese Pagoda. As you can see Gage was very proud of his daddy.


Grandma Diane seems to have her arms full. What's she gonna do when the next baby comes?

Gage & Lucy

Lucy was born just one month after Gage. We can already tell they are going to be best buddies!

Gage's Blessing

I obviously am not very good at keeping up on this blog thing but here is my attempt to catch up...
WARNING these will be brief

Gage was born just three weeks and a day after his cousin Beckham so it worked out perfectly to have the two blessings together. Sunday, September 5th Gage & Beckham were blessed by their fathers. Devin did a great job, he is such a good daddy. Gage and I are very lucky to have him around. It was so awesome to have so many of our family and friends come to show their love and support. Thanks to all we love you guys!

Life is flying by...

Well life as a new mommy has kept me away from the computer. If I ever have a spare moment I take the opportunity to shower... So you can see how blogging becomes one of the last things to get done.
For all of you who have been asking here are some pictures and a few facts about Gage:
He is the cutest baby in the whole world :)
He has a HUGE mouth (see pictures below)
He is growing like a weed, to me he does not even look like an infant any more
When he cries the whole world knows it (this kid has got some lungs on him)
You can see his huge smile from across the room (must be that big mouth)
He loves to play with his daddy
He has eternally made my world a better place :)
We love our little Gage!

Too Cool for School

The New Center of Our World--- Gage.

This morning at 12:03AM we welcomed Gage Emery Peterson into the world. He weighed a hefty 8 lbs 10 oz and was a long 20 1/2 in. Jessica did a phenomenal job and is healthy as ever. Mama and Baby are PERFECT and I have never felt so BLESSED.
Thank you everyone for all your support.

Triathlon- Finish Line

Triathlon

Because Jessica totally rocked her triathlon in spring of 2009 I really had to step it up this year and knock on out as well. So in the cold waters of Daybreak I had my shot. IT WAS A BLAST!!! I had the great support of family from both sides and my sweet prego wife filming as much as she could. I ended up finishing 6th in my division and in the top 30 overall out of 250+ racers. Not bad considering I hadn't swam or biked in 4 months. I was only able to run while we were down selling in TX because I didnt take my bike. Here are some pics to hopefully tell the story.

Showers Showers Showers

Jessica has the best of friends to throw her one of her first baby showers. Bring on the gifts!!! I never know how much we needed for this little guy.

Mother's Day

I woke up early to pick Jessica some fresh Mother's Day flowers. Luckily these flowers were sweet tasting and even came dipped in chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmmm. It took up two days to eat them all. Happy Mother's Day 2010 Jess.

Power Kiting in Texas

So... I picked up a new sport, Kiteboarding. Well... for right now it is minus the board but Jessica did get me this cool trainer kite that you fly on land. We had a blast with it while we were in TX (its always windy in west TX) with only minor injuries. Im sure there will be plenty of pics to come. Here is a pic of me trying to get some "AIR" by jumping the kite. Im still working on my skills.

Baseball Game in Texas

We were able to meet up with our friends Greg and Bitsy Tesimale in Odessa before we moved back to Utah for the summer and they moved back to Hawaii. We had a great time chatting but didnt watch the game much. Oh well we were having a great time.

32 Weeks... and Counting

Okay this is for all of you out there that keep asking for a "Belly Picture" I decided to quit putting it off when I realized that I was just getting bigger. Eight more weeks till we get to see this little guy. Of course if everything goes according to plan he will be here in six.

IT'S A BOY!!!

Jessica is now 21 weeks along and after much anticipation we had our ultra sound at which the doctor proclaimed, "IT'S A BOY !!! 100%". Now only 19 weeks left to prepare the nursery for our little guy. We are so excited. I always wanted a little DEVO :)
