Happy Halloween

Halloween is my least favorite holiday, however we always get the kids dressed up and at least make it to the grandparents homes to visit.

This is Rusty (the elephant) Kendall (the ladybug) and Ace (the giraffe) Arent they the cutest kids ever?

Rusty's first Halloween....my baby elephant

Looks like he loves that giany Cheeto snack Great Grandma Peterson gave him.

What a Wonderful Day with my Mommy!

I dont know how many of you know my mom, but she is the best mom ever! She always wants to hang out and go do fun things like go to Gardner Village, it was so fun. Thanks mom, we all had a blast and the kids passed out on the way home.
Me, my mom, Ace and Rusty at the petting zoo.

Grandma and the boys.

Ace and Grandma on the way out of Gardner Village, such a cute place to take pictures.

Rusty and Grandma at the pig pen in the petting zoo, this was Rusty's favorite part.

Ace was "dinging the bell" at least thats what he calls it. He had a great time.

The Witches of Gardner Village

Ace loved looking at the different Witches of Garden Village. This is such a cool place, if you haven't been there at Halloween time you should go.


These ones were okay for Ace, he must have felt comfortable they were behind the fence.

There was no way Ace would sit by this witch by himself. The wind was blowing and he kept thinking the spider was real.

He loved the baseball witches of course!

The witchy poo was one of my favorites!

Gardner Village Petting Zoo October 2009

Gardner Village is so fun around Halloween time, all the pumpkins and witches.....and this year there was a cute petting zoo. Ace and Rusty loved it, okay so did my mom and I.

Ace loved seeing all the different animals. He calls this one "the big lamb"

Rusty Man even liked the animals, this goat was so friendly, he let Rusty poke him in the eye a few times and he just stood there soaking up the attention.

This pony was adorable, she didnt even try to eat Ace's fingers. What a cute Pony!

This is Rusty man poking the goat in the eye. His way of showing affection. Haha

The pigs were cute too. This is the mommy pig, she had a lot of babies there also. What a fun day for only $2.00! Thanks Mom

Fishing Trip Summer 2009

Ace loves to go fishing, he was all ready for his 4 generation fishing trip on July 3rd, 2009.

Ace, Papa Peterson and Great Grandpa Peterson

Great Grandpa Peterson, Papa (Bart) Peterson and Ace! Matt was taking the picture. What a great experience for Ace to go with his dad and both grandparents. Four generations fishing that is priceless to us!

Ace loves his Papa Peterson. So this day was the best for Ace.....Fishing and Grandpa all in one day!

Air Show 2009

Ace had a blast this year at the Airshow. I remember growing up on all the airforce bases and going to the Airshow every year, it was just something we always did. Then we moved here and we just fell out of the habit of going and now they only have them every 4 or 5 years. So I decided I couldn't pass up this chance to take my little man to the airshow.
He loved sitting in the helicopters and airplanes and pretending to fly them. I knew watching Top Gun as a baby woudl wear off on him!

Isnt he the cutest, looks like he belongs flying that plane.

Carlye and Ace by the Navy plane, we took this picture as a tribute to my brother Mike who is now in the Navy! He went to the airshow with us, it was a great family adventure.

This is Mike carrying Ace on his shoulders, walking in there were a lot of people and we didnt want Ace getting stepped on. My daddy is next to him holding my neice Carlye's hand. My dad loves the airshows just as much as Ace and I did!

Deja Vu!

Tonight after getting home from the airshow I put Rusty in his PJ's and then let him bounce around in the jumper as I got everything ready for bed! When I came out into the living room to get him I suddenly remembered he looked just like Ace in a picture I had taken almost 2 1/2 years ago.
Rusty about 4 months old.

This one is Ace about 5 or 6 months old. They look just alike huh? I am so glad I remembered this picture, it is one of my favorites and now I have one of Rusty like this too! Everyone says they look so different, but here I think they kinda look similar.
