Havin' fun in Utah!

We had a great time in Utah over the Holidays, spending time with our family Mehr and our family Peterson. We also got to spend an evening with some of Zach's good friends from his hometown, and their families.

Merry Christmas!

Hey Everybody,

The Peterson Family wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas!!

Now, Amber will be able to tell you that our little angels didn't take this perfect (both smiling)picture on the first try. It took a few attempts, here are some outtakes...

"Cut! Nice smile Rusty, but Sienna looks a little alarmed."

Cut! Getting close, but Rusty looks a bit...uncomfortable.

"Cut! Rusty, this isn't any better." Looks like he is singing an Elvis song or something, "aw-huh."

This is actually a really good picture. We got cute kids.

Thanksgiving/Family Mehr Visit

Sorry everybody, we've been a little tardy with the updates as of late. It seems the year speeds up the closer you get to the end of it. We enjoyed Thanksgiving with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Mehr, Uncle Garret, Uncle Connor, and Aunt Lacie. It was a lot of fun with some great food and lots of games. We also enjoyed alot of football, both on screen and off. Connor and Zach played in our ward's annual "Turkey Bowl," a pretty competitive pick-up football game. Rusty and Sienna sure enjoyed getting alot of attention and playing with everybody.

Gotta love the look that Sienna has on her face in this picture. Daddy's face, not so much.

Rusty is a Clone Trooper!!

Grandma Peterson sent Rusty a really neat birthday present, a Star Wars Clone Trooper Helmet. Rusty is really excited about it, only the helmet doesn't quite fit him yet. Daddy thinks it's funny when Rusty puts on the helmet. Daddy calls Rusty a Star Wars Bobble-Head. Rusty likes it when Daddy puts it on and they can play together. What a fun gift!

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Peterson

Grandpa and Grandma Peterson came up for Grandma's birthday on Nov. 15th. It was so much fun to see them and to take Grandma out for her birthday! We were able to go shopping, have a barbeque and watch a lot of good football!

Let the Party begin...

Rusty blew out the candles on a Kung Fu Panda cupcake. They even had Kung Fu Panda character rings on top for the kids to take home.

Sienna had a great time at the party playing on the floor with the balloons.

Rusty is lucky to have family so close to him. Daddy's cousin Jonn, his wife Sara, and their children Luke and Lola. (Sienna is also shown on Sara's lap)

Rusty invited over some friends and family for his Birthday party. Here is a picture of daddy's friend from work. The Yost family: Justin, his wife Anne, and their children Nathan and Ella.

Rusty's Birthday begins...

Daddy set up a tunnell from the doorway to the front room for the kids to crawl through.

Mommy did a great job setting everything up and decorating the front room and the table. Rusty chose Kung Fu Panda for his party theme.

I love this picture of Rusty and Sienna in the cart at the same time.

Rusty's birthday was November 9th. He turns 3 years old. We celebrated it for two days. What a lucky boy. We started off on Saturday morning with going to get pancakes at IHOP. Rusty wanted to wear his Iron Man costume, so we let him wear it while we ran some errands.
