To Shoot or Not To Shoot

The only way Brad would shoot is with his camera. And he got a good one! :)

While we were down with Candace, Beau, and the boys, Brad stayed home.

On Thanksgiving Day he had a couple of dinner invitations but elected to stay home alone.

When he saw this Buck walk up the lane by our living room window, he was so exceited.

He ran to get his camera and shot the picture through our front window. It looks like the

deer is digging for crab apples in our front yard. It made his day!!! :)

Baby Mason is Here

Mom and Dad with new baby Mason. (5 days old)
Mason Hugh Peterson was born November 22nd.
Weighed in at 7lb.3oz. and was 20 inches long.

This was the best I could do for a family picture. It is sure hard to

get a 3 and 4 year old to cooperate. They were usually pulling faces!
I will leave the picture taking to Annie and Christie!

Grandpa and "the boys"! Gavin being the "big brother". So cute!!

He already gets comfort from his swing.

First spong bath- not too happy!

Mommy and Mason (4 days)

Lexi's 4th Birthay

Laura took the day off from work to celebrate Lexi's birthday. She took Lexi and her cousin Kayden to McDonald's, of course, for lunch. Grandma Singleton and Williams also came along.
Lexi is growning up way to fast! That evening we went to Lexi's house for cake and ice cream.
Our present to Lexi was a Cinderella princess dress with a crown. She looked beautiful and very happy!! :) These grandchildren really bring a lot of happiness into our lives....

Spud Break

I think it was October when Laura, Lexi, and I went down to visit Candace and her family.
On Sunday evening we went to this pond outside of Payson to feed the ducks. We may have
gone too late in the day because the ducks weren't as hungry as usual. But they were fun!
The kids had a ball and they were all fun to watch. We drove around the pond and when we stopped and got out with our bread a huge group of ducks headed toward us from the other side of the pond. Alyssa stayed home because she was working in the spuds - making big bucks!
It's tuff being a teenager and having so many "wants". This was Alyssa's first time working in the spuds and we are proud of her for enduring. It is hard work- long days and dirty work.
We missed you on our "get away" Alyssa.
