Goose Egg

Can you believe the size of this thing!

Please excuse the runny nose. Can't blame him though, right?

One bonk on his wardrobe was all it took, and no lie...30 second later this is what appeared.

And in true boy fashion, he added to it later that evening by falling down my parent's stairs. Bravo!

Down Syndrome Buddy Walk

An opportunity to show our support and love for these little dolls and so many others AND get a tee shirt? Well, we're there!

Why would Tadd have passed up an opportunity to cruise along on the razor? Oh, he wouldn't.

Even the little monster got a tee shirt!

We love our nieces so much. They truly carry the spirit of Christ with them and we feel so blessed that they are in our lives!

Jumper

When did he get so ding-dang big?

Nascar, or something, @ BYU

Haley's father-in-law is an accountant at some firm in some place in some state and does some stuff with taxes and some other stuff with BYU somebodies. See, I really don't know why he was here and with a Nascar driver and car, but we went anyway!

Sam loved it of course.

Little rascals

He could've sat in here all day. Didn't love it when I took him out.

Summer Days at Moms

A few weeks of the summer were spent doing the following, and I anticipate much of next summer and every one after will be spent the same.

Night with Weenie

One night, again...eons ago, Samson and I went and chilled with Violet and Whitney while Ethan and the boys were away. We had a grand ol' time!

Met up at Target so the kidlets could munch (I hate that word) on popcorn, and giggle at each other while Whitney and I purchased nonsense.

Cafe Rio! A true testament that it was a Peterson sister night!

Sometimes when the mood is right, the sunlight is perfection, and it's a good hair day...you must.

Welcome home signs. What a stellar mother.

It's Complicated (perfect screenshot right?), Magnum ice cream, and fresh polish.

I failed to mention this night was when my beloved sister, Megan, was in town, as well as my cousin, his wife and kids, and Whitney and I sorta ditched out on the family (our apologies) to hang alone, so they challenged us to a who-is-having-more-fun game. (run on sentence, much?) TPing? Um hello, we win!

Randoms

Some of my favorite Sammy pics that I can't exclude.

(as if I don't post enough as is)

Peek-a-boo!

Watching cars go by

Just some drivin moccs. He drove to church in honor of them.

Highland Splash Pad

Oh yes, the following dozen posts or so are eons old...but I'm puttin' them up anyway. Ya know, for the record.

Highland splash pad this summer was graced by our presence. Oh yes, it was. Samson thoroughly enjoyed himself, and we invited along Lauren, Conrad and Scarlet, and well as Haley and Addie, and she invitied friends, who invited friends, who invited friends...oh geez, we are a domino effect.

My pot belly boy

Enjoying some snacks on Haley's blankie

And later, more snacks, again laying down. Who is this kid? I guess the hot cement felt good on his tummy?

Lunch after with Lauren and her kids, who I failed to get pictures with.

Samson lasted until AF and zonked out.

I just don't tire of pics of this kid in his carseat. Clearly.

P.S We've Been Adorablized

I'm Always the Last to Know

But we'll just pretend I'm in on the "at this moment" posts that have been circulating my families web logs.

Right about now...

We've got some sick faces at our house.

Samson and Taddson are snoozing, Tadd more so snoring next to me.

I'm lamenting the fact that Sam won't always be my baby, and I sorta hate that.

I have a list of grown-up things to take care of that are a mile long and I'm dreading it.

The heater is humming along and it makes me wonder if Sam is a puddle of sweat in his crib since he has a radiator heater in there as well. I find I sleep better when I'm super warm, maybe he does too?

I'm enjoying my all white walls that I painted Friday night at 11:30.

I'm really enjoying the show Revenge and can't wait to find out if Emily destroys that annoying Tyler's life. And face.

My neck hurts from a kink I must've obtained by falling asleep in the tub last night. Our tub is practically a sardine can so the position I was laying in was quite uncomfortable.

Why was I so tired? Well because the Halloween party Lindey and I directed for the Cox family was a hit! And apparently required more energy than expected.

Researching a pumpkin pancake recipe for tomorrow morning. Gettin' festive here, folks!

Also realizing we have no plans for trick or treating tomorrow night! Who wants company?

First Day at the Pool

Beautiful view from a beautiful pool!

Mally pullin' out all the stops.
