In Laws! Who needs them? I DO AND I LOVE THEM
And Bart thank you for loaning Carrie to us all those times and for working so hard and then packing up the same night and driving 10 hours to see us and your grandkids. We do appreciate this even though we do not tell you enough. Let me just tell you all how amazing my father in law is! Matt and I have been trying to put our yard in for 2 years and we decided to rent a tiller and start over Easter, well Bart flew out Friday night and Sat morning he was out with Matt getting my yard all done, he rented a trencher and bought pipe for our yard and put all our sprinklers in, then after it rained on them and they were all exhausted they spent Easter Sunday with us and he flew home to Colorado to start a whole new week of work! Thank you for all your help we love you!
I also want to say thank you to Jordan and Caroline who come out all the time and help me with the kids, thanks Jordan for helping with my yard over Easter, we couldnt have done it without you. Dan (my reliable hardworking brother in law) Thank you for always motivating the family and jumping right in to help. Lora is alwasy here to help me with the kids and color my hair (that I appreciate more than anyone knows) Frank and Kayla....always good for a good time, I love hanging out and talking with you guys and I know I can always call you when I need someone to help me with the kids or anything really! Cort you are making us all proud doing God's work in Arica! I love you all so much. I couldnt ask for better in laws you all mean so much to me and it does mean alot that on your vacation here to hang out you always manage to find some work to do around my house for me. You are all the best!
PS remember I still have a basement once the yard is in..... Just kidding

Beyond the Jelly Beans.......Finding Faith in Christ
This Easter we started the morning off by watching a movie recommended to us by Lora and Dan. Finding Faith in Christ! It was nice to start off our morning remembering Jesus Christ and the sacrafices he made for us. To spend some time together as a family and watching this amazing DVD. (If any of you havent seen this whether you are a church member or not) I do recommend it. It reminded me that this day is not about candy and egg hunts but about someone much larger in life than all of this.....Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lora and Dan for starting this tradition that I believe we should continue every year, and since Lora and Dan will prob come to our house each year it looks like it may be their tradition as well. So thanks again for encouraging us to see "Beyond the Jelly Beans"
Easter Sunday Adventure
Easter at the Wilcox Home
He was sound asleep and couldnt even appreciate it!
This one is for you Uncle Dan
He has his hammer and drill and screwdriver under his car table in his room, he throws them under there and then lays on his back and pulls himself under the table, just like you would if you were working on a car!

Who knew Clinton City has such Cute Residents?
Our New Friends!
These are our new friends we met at the Clinton Park. It was such a beautiful day, there are tons of ducks over there and it is nice and open. It is a really and relaxing place, we should come here more often.
An Unfriendly Encounter at the Park!
I am not sure how many of you read my mother im laws blog in addition to my blog, but if you would take a minute and go to her site.... lifeislivedinmoments.blogspot.com and look at the post done on November 25th 2008. My Father in law took Ace to the Layton Park to feed the ducks and they got a little close and grabbed Ace's finger! Ace has still not forgotten. Thats why this video I took today is really funny!
Matt was enjoying tormenting this goose. He was a big goose too as you can see, earlier he was chasing some younger boys around because they got too close. Matt knew Ace was a little afraid of this goose but insisted on teasing both the goose and Ace.....Thats my Peterson Husband, all of you married to a Peterson boy know what I am talking about!

Family Night at the Rock!
Brandon wanted to climb the rock and since my sister was helping/belaying me (belaying is what is called when you are hanging on to the rope at the bottom making sure your partner doesnt fall) Mike took a quick lesson from the instructor there so he could belay Brandon. That way we could all four climb at the same time. **Brandon is on the left, the instructor is in the middle and Mike is on the right)
Rock Climbing Attempt #2
I didnt make it. I was so disappointed. I did get higher than I am in this picture, but I want to get up in that hole so I can take a cute picture! That is my goal for next time.

A night full of Farewells and Tears!
Our night was filled with laughter, of funny stories the cast experienced while filming. Memories of all our Drs that have left us in death (Lucy, Mark Green, Pratt, Galant ect...) Happiness of the returning Drs we have not seen, but missed in the last few years (Carrie Weaver, Susan Lewis, Elizabeth Corday, Benton ect..) Carter returned a few episodes ago, but to see him in action as a Dr taking control of the ER and doing what he loved was perfect. Carter brought life to the ER and it is then that I fell in love with the show (and him) and to know he has come back to where it all began for him is incredible. There was excitement of a new Dr. Rachel Green. Although we wont be able to see her in action knowing she was following in her father Mark Green's footsteps brings us peace that the ER is in good hands! And most of all our night was filled with tears, saying good bye to all our friends we have been used to seeing every week. It is the end of something great that can never been replaced, our Thursday nights will never be the same!
It is now that I say GOOD BYE to County Hospital one last time!!!!
Movie Night
Ace brings the DVD player to the dog, along with a baby blanket to cover them up. Can you see the portable DVD player (which is normally in Ace's room) he brought it out to the living room and set it by the stairs.
