Finally, an update on the Peterson Family

I just wanted you all to know that the Peterson Family is still alive. Sorry that it has taken me so long to post. I have been a little busy over the last couple of months. I decided to take another course online. Instead of taking the regular 16 week course, I decided to do it in 8 weeks. I was able to successfully complete the course with an A, but I haven't really had much time to do anything else. Needless to say, I have decided to take the summer off from school. Hopefully I will be a little better about posting from now on.
During the last two months we have been able to do a lot of fun things, despite all of my course work. Here are just a few of the things we have been doing:


James and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary on March 24th this year. I decided to spend the day in Salt Lake showing the boys where our family began. My sister, Bonnie, her kids, and my mom also joined us. My father-in-law also took me to the Olive Garden near Temple Square for lunch just like James did on our wedding day.



Jamesy participated in Syracuse's Tiny Hoops. It was very entertaining to watch 5 and 6 year olds try to play an organized game of basketball.


The "Durham Sisters" were able to finally get their sister picture taken for our sisters frame!



Alex celebrated his 4th birthday on April 9th. He had a knights themed party that was a lot of fun. I can't believe that my baby is 4!

We visited Utah's Hogle zoo with my Brother, Doug, and his son, and my sister, Bonnie, and her kids.



Alex loved the baby giraffe.

Alex started T-ball. This is his very first time participating in sports. He is so excited that he finally gets to play after watching James play sports for two years.

After my class ended I decided that we all needed a vacation. We stayed a week with James's brother, Bryce, and his family in the Phoenix area. It was nice to take some time to relax by their pool for awhile. We traveled there and back with James's parents.

We were also able to go to our first Major League Baseball game while we were there.

We saw the Arizona Diamond Backs and the Philadelphia Phillies play. Thanks Bryce and Jackie for the fun visit!
James is still deployed, but we are hoping to have him back home in July. Since we are currently homeless, I hope to find us a house in Rapid City before he gets back. Our plans are not definent, but we might be moving down to Texas by the end of the year. The Air Force is always an adventure!
