fun weekend with all my sisters.

Friday was girls' night out. It was fun because I went with my sisters, sister-in-law, and my cousins, Evelyn and Wendy. My niece Kayla came too. This was taken with my cell phone and we all look scary. We went out to watch New Moon. I'm not lying, the last time I went out with all my sisters without our kids was last year when we watched Twilight. This time Susy didn't make it. She has a new born at home to care for. After the movie we went to Starbucks because it was the closest place to hangout that was still open. I really liked the movie but through out the whole movie I was comparing it to the book and I was disappointed when it wasn't exactly like the book. I understand that the movie can't be just like the book, but it could have been a bit closer. I want to go watch it again without comparing it. The whole movie is based on the wolfpack, and on Jacob. I am all the way team Edward. He isn't in the book much or movie but its okay. He'll be back in Eclipse:)

The next day, with all the Peterson sisters-in-law, we had a surprise baby shower for Kristin and baby Makai. It was perfect. I didn't get any pictures. I am starting to slack off with taking pictures.

Sunday, I got to hangout with Susy. She was really missed on Friday. I am going to plan another night out with my sisters for December. I want to make sure I get to enjoy them before I leave.

Family.. Food... New Car

We had 3 great days with Greg. Here was Savy waiting while Greg was on his way to the house. The kids were in shock when they first saw him, and it took a while for them to realize that dad was actually home:)It was a very short visit, but it was great. I'm really excited that we will see him again next week. In a couple of days we did a lot. First thing we had to take care of was buying a car. The Pontiac broke down on me while coming back home late night from my niece and nephews birthday party. Thank goodness it didn't happen on the freeway. We wanted to buy a car after our move to Hawaii, but I still need to drive a car here for another 2 months. We decided to purchase a SUV for many reasons but one reason why is because our family is expanding:) We will need more space. It was fun car shopping.
The next day we headed out to Knott's berry farm. Savy's first funnel cake.Dustin and Michelle with their kiddos came out too. We had a fun day. Savy was afraid of some rides and had some tears. Poor little Savy she isn't that brave when it comes to new experiences. On Saturday we had a barbecue on Greg's last day home. He really loves to cook, and I miss his cooking. It was nice and a big treat. He did Carne Asada, and made Cecheve, Aguacate, rice and beans. The whole Peterson family was over. It was such a beautiful day outside and very relaxing...with awesome company. Greg made it back to Georgia safely. See you next Wednesday for Thanksgiving love! We have so much to be thankful for!

Can't wait...

I got an unusually early phone call from Greg on Monday morning. He surprised me, saying, "I'm looking for a fight to come home next week." He found a ticket and will be home soon. I was super excited that we will be seeing him sooner than Thanksgiving. Monday he found out what his schedule would be like for the next 6 weeks. Next Wednesday is Veterans Day, so they gave him 4 days off. Greg will fly in Thursday afternoon. The kids don't know yet how soon they will be with their dad. Greg wants to keep it a secret and surprise them. We plan to have 3 full days of fun. PARTY PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!

Halloween 2009

October was a fun month, getting ready for Halloween with the kids. Sorry to say the week of Halloween the kids and I got sick--with the cold/flu going around. I felt really bad because the kids were really looking forward to it. It took a while for us to cheer up on Halloween day. Good thing the week before we went to Ryan and Lizeths' Ward Halloween Party and had a fun time. Savy loved Trunk-or-Treating. Savy loves eating hotdogs.I was a little nervous Savy wasn't going to like her costume. I was wrong. She loved it. She kept saying "I'm a fairy princess." She sure was a princess:)Chase was one tough Snake-eyes: We did make it out to our Ward Halloween party and the kids felt a little better. Chase played games. He was trying really hard bobbing for a apple. His face was soaking wet. Savy won a cupcake, and she liked playing in the haystack maze. Poor little Savy she looks sick in these pictures:(

I'm 26 now..

It was really strange not being with Greg for our anniversary. So I tried to make the most of it. Saturday evening Lizeth had a fun day planned for me. Ryan babysat the kids. We ate at Chipotle and then watched Whip it. Chipotle has the best burritos. All I can say about the movie is Wow! Roller derby is rough.On my birthday we had a dinner with the family and had some delicious homemade cake-the best! Especially with raspberry/cream cheese topping.

On October 16th my new nephew came into our world . Yesterday I went to go meet him. He's small, weighing in at 7lbs 3 oz--a perfect baby. Here's Kayla, the oldest granddaughter, holding Jacob.Here he is- my parents got him smiling.

Fun stuff..

This year I turn the big two six. I actually still feel pretty young:) Oh how I thought that year is old. Our sixth anniversary is on my birthday October 18th. I am a little sad we will not be able to celebrate it together, but the plan is to celebrate it when he is here for Thanksgiving. Yeah, this thanksgiving for sure Greg will come home for 3 days. On Sunday, I had an early birthday celebration that my family gave me. We had a good time with the family.

The children helping me:)On Saturday, the kids and I went with my mom to a sweet 16th birthday party and visited with my dad's immediate family. It was good to see them. I like this picture. It looks like Chase is protecting me.Chase hugged Savy for their picture. SWEET!The kids and I went to get our Halloween decorations. Chase picked his own. We found some fun stuff at the 99 cent store:)

Halloween spirit...

This Halloween I decided to make Savannah's costume. I wanted her to look pretty and girly. So I thought- I think she can with a tutu on. I was so worried about sewing a tutu though. When I went to get the fabric, I ask the lady helping me if there was a pattern for one. She said, "You don't need one. You can just tie the tulle on the elastic." Then she showed me how to do it. I worried for nothing. It was easy to make, and I think Savannah's costume turned out cute. I was so happy that I didn't have to sew because I don't know how, but maybe I can get some practice by sewing a 50's skirt I'm going to make for myself. Wish me luck. I already made a mistake. I didn't get enough felt fabric:)
