a GREAT visit

Great Grandma Petersen

Great Grandpa Petersen

Grandma and Grandpa Petersen were able to join us for a night on their way down to stay in Arizona for some time... and on their way back home! It was so nice to spend some time with them, even though it was short. It is also nice to see Blake start to recognize them and remember them. We love to have these opportunities for him and for us as well.

We just spent the time chatting away and telling stories. It is great to get together and hope to be able to do it more often...and again soon! Blake is blessed and such a lucky boy to have such wonderful Great Grandparents who love him so much.

Big Bear or bust

We were able to get away for the weekend and enjoy some time with our friends from CA...Marvin and Maria and their daughter Arianna. We were bummed when we arrived in Big Bear to find NO SNOW...but we still had a great time. Dan tried his legs at skiing for the first time and enjoyed it. He was sore but had fun.

Blake was sick for most of the trip unfortunately but that didn't stop him from running and playing with Arianna.

Bang that drum

Some of you may remember a group called "Recycled Percussion"...they were on the show America's Got Talent last season. Well...they now have a Vegas show! We didn't actually know who they were but we took a chance and decided it would be fun to go out and celebrate our friend Brian's birthday and see the show and grab some dinner.

It was a a great show. Very interactive and a lot of fun. But don't go if you have a headache...or don't like loud noises!

We had a lot of fun...made a lot of noise...and celebrated Brian's birthday in style!
