the petersens: May 2012
http://bandbpetersen.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. Andrew and rachel together. Some of these pictures are a few months old. it's hard to get away with it when andrew is so little and is changing every day. Rachel loves playing with andrew, and andrew loves it even more. she likes to get right in andrew's toys with him and join along in the fun. she'll show him how to properly play with things, and she'll take his hands out of his mouth and replace it with a toy, saying, "we don't eat our hands! We often gave andrew tummy time on thi...

the petersens: legos, legos everywhere
http://bandbpetersen.blogspot.com/2014/03/legos-legos-everywhere.html
Saturday, March 1, 2014. Legos, legos everywhere. Bruce is a big lego fan. when he was younger, he had a paper route, and he spent the majority of his spending money from that on legos. he has two apple boxes and a large toolbox full of legos. when rachel was little, we bought her some lego duplos to introduce her, but bruce has just been waiting for the day that he could play legos with the kids. Rachel was so nice about sharing her brand new legos with andrew. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We are...

the petersens: March 2014
http://bandbpetersen.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2014. At the beginning of fall, i started reading lessons with rachel. it felt a little early to me, but she was so curious about letters and started trying to read along with me while i read the little house. Books out loud to her, so i decided to go for it and see how it went. we used teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons. Which is what i learned with, and several of my extended family members used. i loved it. it worked so well. Here she is when we finished her lessons:.

the petersens: coloring books all day long
http://bandbpetersen.blogspot.com/2014/05/coloring-books-all-day-long.html
Friday, May 2, 2014. Coloring books all day long. The kids have semi-recently gotten into a HUGE coloring stage. all. the. time. i feel like we'd buy the kids coloring books and notebooks for things like christmas and then they wouldn't really use them, except occasionally at church. then suddenly they went crazy with coloring. For a while, i'd come in to the kitchen and see andrew just laying around on the tile, coloring. Now it's more common for him to be at the table. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

the petersens: October 2013
http://bandbpetersen.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Every year I tell bruce i want to drive the alpine loop in the american fork canyon during the fall to see all the leaves changing. i've heard from everyone that it's gorgeous. every year i wait too long and miss it. so, when jamie suggested we go up the canyon a couple weeks ago and have lunch up there, i hopped at the chance! We stopped for a picnic lunch. the kids enjoyed climbing around on the hills by the picnic table. It makes me jealous of her nice camera. Next year i'll...

the petersens: July 2012
http://bandbpetersen.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Aunt margaret's china cabinet. The best part: it allowed me to rearrange things so now my kitchen counter is nice and clear (that is, when my kitchen is actually clean):. Easter photos and egg hunt. I can't believe i forgot to post about easter! This year was fun, because it was the first year we really celebrated it. i worked on the easter story with rachel, teaching her about Jesus, and i also introduced her to the easter bunny, in that order. Rachel opening her easter basket:.

the petersens: November 2012

Saturday, November 10, 2012. First family vacation - st george. Bruce and i recently realized that we've never been on a vacation that wasn't to visit family. we went to vegas on our honeymoon nearly five years ago, and that's the last time we took a non family related trip. don't get me wrong, we LOVE visiting family (it's been way too long since we've been to seattle), but sometimes it's nice to do our own thing as well. These next few pictures just display how miserable our poor girl was. I don't get ...

Wednesday, March 7, 2012. I feel very swamped lately. i feel like everything gets ALMOST done, but not quite. i've started a lot of projects around the house but haven't completed them. to name a few:. Laundry - i keep getting so close! I constantly have one or two loads of random things (blankets, extra towels, etc.) that never get done. Redoing bruce's dresser - i found a blog post on pinterest where a woman redid her dining room cabinet and it was beautiful. i decided i wanted to redo the dresser ...

http://bandbpetersen.blogspot.com/2014/03/im-crafty-sometimes.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2014. The craft bug hit me a couple months ago. i can't get enough of crafting right now. i created three new valentine's day crafts:. I got together with jamie and some women in her ward and made this love banner out of burlap. i love it (no pun intended). i wanted to make one that said "lucky" with shamrocks on it for st patrick's day, but it's now post st patrick's day and never happened.next year! Note: my valentine's day decorations were up until march 12th.embarrassing. Note: i...
