HOME

We are thrilled to have our house and look forward to making it our home filled with love, laughter and memories!








BIG news!

Perhaps the biggest news is that we are expecting a 5th child the beginning of June. Words cannot express my gratitude at being given the opportunity to have another sweet child in our family, something I have fasted, prayed and hoped for for many years. So grateful that Nate is willing to take this leap of faith with me! We SO look forward to meeting her!

My message to Nate.  I sent this to him and videoed his reaction, priceless!


Our announcement to family and social media. At the bottom it read, "And now we think it's time for a change.  Baby Peterson #5 due June 5th."

Our Christmas card announcement.



Our gender announcement.  It's a girl!

Fall Sports 2014

Fall of 2014 brought with it lots and lots of sporting events.

Mac played competitive soccer with Utah Storm and also tried his hand at flag football -- both sports were a huge success!  It made me smile when I went to one of his football games and overheard a boy on the opposing team keep repeating, "Oh my gosh, we don't stand a chance.  Mac is on their team and he's the best athlete.  We don't stand a chance, they have Mac!" Mac's football team did go on to win the the whole league and his soccer team did well enough that they are being moved up to the next highest division for Spring league.  Mac is quite the athlete and loves to play sports all day every day.



Jillian also tried soccer this year.  She did a great job and loved being on the same team with her new best buddy, Brynlee.  She played a little shy and not very aggressive, but she is fast and loved being out on the field.


Beckam had a great soccer season and enjoyed being on the same team as some of his best buddies.  He's just happy to be out on the field running and rolling around on the ground in quite a dramatic way.


Jaxton also played competitive soccer and made it onto the A team, which we were all thrilled about.  He also played flag football and was the quarterback most of the time.  He's already begging us to let him play tackle football next year, but I don't think I'm quite ready to suit him up in pads and a helmet yet.
