Emma's Room

This Little Miss is so loved already...... here are just a few pictures of her room. It will look better when we get some picures up and other decorations.

Peach Days!!

I LOVE PEACH DAYS!!!!!! We do the fireman's pancake breakfast and the parade then of coure the booths and you always have to have some peach cobbler!! We did it all this year, even though all the walking did not send me into labor. (dang!)



I am so proud of my cute fireman!! I turn into such a cry baby when i see him driving the firetruck in the parade so proudly! Next year he will have Emma with him in the truck, you can bet i will be crying then too.




BJ is driving this mustang with his sister-in-law Whitley on top who ran for Peach Queen. Bummer for BJ huh? Can't tell by the mischievous grin on his face!

Thanksgiving Point Dinosuar Museum

So we went to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point on Labor Day which was so fun! Just to two of us, there were some amazing dino skeletons there.

Bees Game!

On Saturday August 22 we went to a Salt Lake Bees game with my parents and Justin and Allie. When we first got to the game we had seats in the 100+ degree weather which was not the funnest but once the game started the sun had gone down below the staduim so it started to cool off after that. In the first inning the bees scored 8 runs and they didn't score another run the rest of the game but they still won 8-2 against the Las Vegas 51's. Plus the big bonus was there were fireworks after the game. (Don't mind my blue teeth, that was from the snow cone)

Yellowstone and Bar J Wranglers

This was our trip to Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, and Bar J Wranglers. We had so much fun! We went into Yellowstone park and up the east side of the first loop toward the Yellowstone falls which the picture above is the upper falls which is actually the shorter of the two falls. They were both Breathtaking. The upper falls was a 109 feet drop and the lower falls had a drop of 308 feet which was unbelievable! The next day we went to Bar J Wranglers which if you haven't been to see them you should go. They are a dinner and cowboy comedy show, and I can tell you we have been the last two years and have not been disappointed either time. The food is served chuckwagon style and you would think that having food served in mass quantities like that may not be very good, but it was actually way good food. The show was HILARIOUS! They sing old cowboy campfire songs along with comedy.

They are just aboslutely amaxing. It is so much fun every time we go. When we were driving in Jackson we passed this smart car that was parked perpendicular to the curb when all the other cars were parked parallel. Now Brock absolutely loves these smart cars and wants one so when he saw this he was that much more in awe of them.

My Baby Shower

I had a baby shower on June 27 in my in-laws backyard. It was such a pretty day. We got a ton of helpful stuff. We had a pretty good turn out too. We just had an open house so people could come and go as they please. The blanket that is on the bench next to me was made by Brock the night before, it was his daddy project. He had fun making it. Below are pictures of the diaper cake that Brock and His mom made and the pack-and-play that Uncle BJ and Aunt Zoey baught us for Emma (Brock and BJ puting it together). He took an active roll in the shower it was so cute!! We had so much fun with it. We are so greatful for all those who helped put it together and those who attended. We got a TON of gifts!! We are so blessed and lucky to have so many people around who care about us and the well being of our future Emma. Thank You all very much!!!

THEY ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!

Hopefully they won't get mad at me for this, but I am so excited. My younger brother Justin and his girlfriend Allie are ENGAGED!!!! They are so meant to be together. They met while Justin was on his mission in Montreal Canada. Her dad was a bishop in the area he was serving. And about a week after he came home, they were officially dating. Now a year and a couple months later they are GETTING MARRIED!! They have not set a date yet. But this is a picture of her georgous ring!!It is so pretty!! I am so excited for you guys. This just means Emma gets another Aunt when she gets here. YAY!!!!!!!

Peanuts New Name

Yep its a GIRL!! Her name as of now is Emma K Petersen. We picked a middle inital, K stands for Kristine, Brock's mom's name but we thought Emma Kristine Petersen was too long so we went witha K. We had our ultrasound on Friday May 1st our Anniversary. It was so cool to see that. Brock was facinated with seeing her move and the detail of the ultrasounds. The radiologist when viewing the gender said that we could not ask for a better view to tell us. I was kind of shocked because I was convinced it was a boy. Brock says he knew it was a girl the whole time. The gender shot was the only shot she cooperatied really well with, the 4D shots she would not give us a view of her face but I love this picutre both of her hands by her face, she sleeps like I do. I always have my hands by my face when I sleep. He says this is the best anniversary gift ever to be getting a baby girl. We went shopping and I can see that this is going to be a problem in the future. I had to keep Brock under control. First we went to register at Babies R Us and then we bought some clothes to start our stash.

I love this shot when the radiologist was trying to view her spine to make sure everything look ok she started arching her back and strarted stretching and we got to watch her do that! It was so sweet, I told Brock that she stretched just like he does. When all was said and done the radiologist said everything looked great and she was measuring 2 days ahead of schedule at about 12 oz and between 9 and a half to 10 inches. And to top it all off Saturday night we were watching a movie at BJ and Zoey's house and she was kicking and Brock got to feel her kick for the first time. It was such an awesome weekend!!!!!!

Baby's First Easter

Well its kinda Baby's first easter. This is the haul this little one made off with this year and it's not even here yet. I can't wait to see what next year brings!! From the Petersen Easter Bunny we got a basket with a bear, white onsies (we are antisipating diaper issues early), baby bathroom kit with clippers, toothbrush, medicine droppers, etc and travel size baby wash supplies. From the Haworth Easter Bunny we got a shovel and bucket in anticipation of using it at the beach next summer with a rattle, binkies and a way cool toy ball with a monkey on top. Other way good news is that Brock is done with his EMT-Basic class. He got the second highest score in the class on his written test, and on his skills (practicals) test he was the second to last person to perform and his instructor told him he had the best set of skills he had seen all day and he gave Brock a "SUPERB" notation. He just has to take the state skills test on April 25 and before that he will schedule and take his state written test which he will pass with flying colors!! Peanut and I are so proud of Daddy!!

Today's doctors appointment.

Today i had my second doctors appointment, everything went awesome. I got to listen to the heartbeat again. 157 beats per minute. It was a little slower today than last time. But we are still on track. 6 weeks from today we have our gender ultrasound! We are so excited for that. My next appt is on April 23.
