It has been a few months so I thought, since it is my turn, I would just put up some fun pics from the past little while. We have had an enjoyable year with the kids and are excited for our new arrival to come mid Decem

Hey everyone, hope this post finds you well.

We have had an exciting few weeks, Lydia has started walking all over the place and Owen started potty training this last weekend.  We are on day 3, and so far, it hasn't been too bad.  Most of the time he gets his #2 in the toilet, its the #1 that he is having a problem with.  He is always telling us that he has to go potty after he goes.  Its alright though, he is trying really hard.  Lydia, is growing up so fast it is amazing.  It seems like just a few weeks ago she was just learning to crawl.  now she has a big tooth filled grin everywhere she walks.  For me, I have decided that I need to get my fat butt in shape and will start to exercise a little.  There is a bunch of people at work that play Ultimate Frisbee during lunch on Wednesday's, I thought I might join them and do some other things during the week.  Shelly continues to be the best mom and wife ever.  She does so much to make our kids who they are and she tries extra hard to be an awesome example to them and to me.  I sure do love her.  I am so lucky to have her.

Below are some cute pictures of just random things I thought you might enjoy.

Hope everything is going well with you all.

Cheers.

Happy First B-Day Lydia :)

So we had a lot of fun on Lydia's Birthday. Grandma Denise flew in from California and we spent half the day in Salt Lake. We met up with the Wade's ...good friends of the family... and then had fun on Temple Square. We went to the hands on part of the Church History Museum. For dinner we had bagel pizzas and a neopolitan cake with Cookies N Cream ice cream. Grandma and Grandpa Pete,the Peterson cousins, and the Jett's came over to celebrate. She was just a happy little girl all day and I think she knew it was her special day. Owen kept singing Happy Birthday to her. We love Lydia sooooo much and are so grateful for this past year and that we are lucky enough to have such a sweetheart in our family.

I guess it is my turn

Hey everyone, hope that the new year has treated you well and all of you new "resolutions" haven't gone the way of the trash yet.

As for us, we are still doing awesome. I just got back from a trip to New Jersey where I trained a company on the software that I help develop. It was fun, but i'm glad that I am back with my wife and kids.

Anyways, we love you all and hope you are all doing good.
