Updates


"Sleeping" on the top bunk!


Since it has been so long since we have last posted I thought I'd give a quick update on everyone!



Logan can hardly wait until his birthday in April. He is SO excited to be 7, mostly because it is one year away from being 8. He REALLY wants to be baptized and we also told him that when he turned 8 he could start going hunting with Jared. He has asked me a few time if he can turn 8 on his birthday instead of 7. :) He doesn't particularly like school, but we are starting to see an improvement, he has moved up 3 reading levels since the start of the school year...he still isn't where he should be, but we are so proud of how hard he is trying! He LOVES the days when he gets to go to PE and will tell you that PE and Lunch are his favorite parts of school!



Kody is so excited to start school in the fall, he asks me almost everyday if he is ever going to get to go to school like Logan. Kody is such a good big brother to Lucie, he is always watching out for her and playing with her. Kody loves going to primary, he will talk all week about the lessons and what he learned at church. Kody also LOVES Transformers, loves might be an understatement, obsessed is probably a more appropriate word, he knows all of the Transformers by name and can tell you if they are an Auto bot (good guy) or a Dedepticon (bad guy). Most of our conversations during the day somehow turn to the topic of Transformers like, "Mom, do you think Bumblebee had a big brother?" or "Do you think that Optomis Prime has to clean his bedroom?".


Lucie making dinner...she said she was making "A suprise, oranges suprise".

Lucie thinks she is such a big girl. She wants to help me with whatever I am doing. She LOVES shoes, bows, lotions, make up (pretty much anything girly), and having her hair done, if we leave the house without doing her hair she will cry and touch her hair saying "My hair, my hair". She LOVES the color pink and is sure to point out to you anything that is pink (and try to convince you to buy it just because it is pink), with all of the Valentines Day stuff out it has made for quite eventful trips to the store! Kody has nicknamed her "Princess Pink". She loves her brothers and wants to do everything they are doing...she hates it when Jared takes the boys to do something with out her, so this past weekend Jared took all of the kids to look around at the Sportsman's Warehouse, Lucie convinced him to buy her a pink and blue fishing pole. :) Lucie also loves to sing, she can hardly wait for singing time in Nursery, she will sing all the words and do the hand motions to all of the songs. Logan and Kody have taught her to hum the Indiana Jones theme song. It's pretty cute.

We are all getting excited for our new baby to come...time has gone by too quickly, there is so much that I wanted to get done before she comes, but with only about 3 weeks left I don't think it's all going to happen. Oh, well!

Three weeks?! Where the heck have I been. . . I thought you had at least 3 months!!! Your kiddos are SO cute. They always look like they get along so well - I guess you wouldn't post pictures of them fighting, though. Luci looks SO much like a MacKay! Good luck these last few weeks! Hang in there :)

Your kids are so cute and getting so big! I remember when Logan was born! Hanna was so excited she could hardly talk about anything else! How fun! I am so excited for you and the new baby that's coming! Tell all the family hi for me!

What a really cute post that was! I love the pic of them all in bed together. We love doing that too, and of course putting them in their OWN beds at the end of the day!

It makes me want to cry to think of my little Kody and llLigan getting so big! I miss them!!!!! I bet they don't remember brother and sister Petersen but we will always remember them and love them! Good luck with your new baby. It's great you have boys that are close in age and the girls will be too. Best friends I hope!
