8 wonderful years!

Yesterday we went to Shaun and Kirsten Vidinhar's wedding reception. It is hard to believe that it was eight years ago that we were in the same position. We have had so many wonderful experiences since then. We have 5 beautiful children, and we have built a home for our family in an amazing place. We have had many challenges and have taken on life at an accelerated pace. Those 5 children have com in just five years and as a result we a a very fun, busy and noisy household. I am so grateful for Rebekah and her capacity to handle all the children with such calm and confidence. Our children are so sweet an kind and they have learned that from their mother. I am so glad that I have my wonderful family and especially that we were sealed in the temple so that I can have them forever.

Time to make room for Baby #5

Abby and Gwyn's room is so big so I told Nate that we should put the girls beds together as bunk beds so we could put Charlotte's Crib on the other side of the room! The girls love having there beds like this but the problem is that Taylor and Elijah want to play in there room all the time!

Charlotte Ann

We have a new addition to our family, Charlotte Ann Peterson was born Thursday at 12:36pm. She was 7 lbs 1 oz and is 18 & 1/2 in long. Mom and baby are both doing great.

It has been so hot this week! The kids have had so much fun playing outside in the sprinklers! Not many people up here have AC! When Nate and I built are house about 3 years ago we decided to put it in and we love it! I feel so lucky to have it! Things are going great this summer! Are garden has been great and we are building a chicken coop! Nate and His Dad have been working on it! This pregnancy is still making me sick but I am blessed to be able to have children! Nate has been busy with work and his church calling! We have been blessed in so many ways and I am grateful for my Heavenly Father who has blessed me with such a loving and sweet husband that works hard and takes the time for his kids and especially for me!
