Hopefully I can stick with it this time and really keep track of everything going on in our wonderfully crazy life! Instead of back tracking over the last year I'm just going to say it was wonderful and we are doing great!! I will however let you in on two major changes we have had in the last few months.<br /><br />Matea was born Nov. 3 2010 and has grown like a very cute weed ever since. We love the addition to our family!! She is so sweet and giggles all the time. She has been sick the last week and is still happy. What a trooper! Here are a few pictures of her the last few months...Needless to say she is ADORABLE and we LOVE LOVE LOVE her!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-inPcMcuJoE4/TaZziNjJWLI/AAAAAAAAAOM/0th0ti1ac3M/s1600/Mommy%2Band%2BBaby.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-inPcMcuJoE4/TaZziNjJWLI/AAAAAAAAAOM/0th0ti1ac3M/s400/Mommy%2Band%2BBaby.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595286618644240562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KDJtQ9PHj78/TaZzNeEwNOI/AAAAAAAAAOE/pdxqCfkKdtA/s1600/Matea%2B5%2Bmonths.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KDJtQ9PHj78/TaZzNeEwNOI/AAAAAAAAAOE/pdxqCfkKdtA/s400/Matea%2B5%2Bmonths.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595286262302913762" border="0" /></a><br />Also, on Feb. 28 we closed on our new home! We now live in a beautiful home nestled between the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Mountain Range. It is beautiful out here and we couldn't be happier with the neighborhood. We new this is where we wanted to be but every day I love it more and more!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lRGmknyfnIA/TaZz73bzoXI/AAAAAAAAAOU/x3TVdbap920/s1600/New%2Bhouse.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lRGmknyfnIA/TaZz73bzoXI/AAAAAAAAAOU/x3TVdbap920/s400/New%2Bhouse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595287059384476018" border="0" /></a><br />Today we are getting ready for summer! We are getting our garden ready. The other day I bought the bags of soil-ish stuff to mix that will make our plants so happy! Turkey Mulch, Vermiculite, Garden Amender, and Compost. Woo!<br /><br />Maile is loving the swing set and sand box that the previous owners so kindly left and asks to play outside everyday rain, sun or snow! We love taking walks around the neighborhood and taking the little path to the playground. There are walking trails, bike trails, wetlands and farms.<br /><br />Maile is turning 3 in less than 2 months!!! We can't believe it! She is becoming such a little lady. She loves dress up, dolls, fairies, tea parties, baby dolls, baths, singing, story telling, dancing, marshmallows, making Matea giggle, jumping on her bed, playing hide and seek, Jake and the Neverland Pirates (disney junior), pink cupcakes, Cinderella, princesses, helping in the kitchen, puppy cereal (know to the rest of us as Corn Flakes), puppies, playing with friends, flowers (real and fake), monsters, racing, swinging, sliding, finding treasure in her sandbox, going for walks, talking on the phone to whoever I am talking to at the moment, and so many other things I couldn't begin to name them all. We love her so much and though at times she makes me grind my teeth and wring my hands in frustration the times she makes me laugh so hard I cry far outweigh the crazy times. We love her as a daughter and we love her as the beautiful young lady she is becoming. Thank you Maile for making us so happy!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--OahlISUpBw/TaZ5KCUnzJI/AAAAAAAAAOs/vQCVRaYjgy8/s1600/SDC13165.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--OahlISUpBw/TaZ5KCUnzJI/AAAAAAAAAOs/vQCVRaYjgy8/s400/SDC13165.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595292800383437970" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jL8MMZaQDCo/TaZ4QNG6UiI/AAAAAAAAAOc/aaGncHmmM2w/s1600/Maile%2Bhaircut.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jL8MMZaQDCo/TaZ4QNG6UiI/AAAAAAAAAOc/aaGncHmmM2w/s400/Maile%2Bhaircut.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595291806846308898" border="0" /></a><br />This is a photo from tonight's bath.

We spend so much time informing you about the great milestones in Maile's life that I compeltely forget about ours. :)<br /><br />We will both be graduating this year. I will be graduating in August with a degree in Recreation Management and Youth Leadership and Sean will be graduating in December with a degree in Biology with a minor in Business. He will be walking with me in August, anyone who wants to share the excitement is welcome! I believe the date is August 15...I will have to check on that. We will both be done with our on-campus classes in June. We are so excited.<br /><br />We are starting the job hunt and aiming for somewhere around Salt Lake. This way Sean will be able to continue with his job while he goes back to school for his MBA in a few years (After some great work experience). We are excited for this next chapter in our lives! If anyone knows of a job up Sean's ally just let us know! :)<br /><br />Sorry this is so short but I have to turn this paper is due by midnight and I hope to be sleeping well before that time. :)<br /><br />We send everyone our love! Let us know how you all are doing!<br /><br />The PetersonsSean and Charityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00734310733302445624noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327434497778638679.post-91893476786241452962009-04-01T20:38:00.003-07:002009-04-01T20:39:41.617-07:00A tooth?It seems that today Maile is beginning to cut her very first tooth!

I feel like a huge burden has been taken from my shoulders. I can finally sit, relax and play with my wonderful family. It feels like Christmas.<br /><br />We put our Christmas tree up a week and a half ago and love it! It makes our little apartment feel so warm and cozy. I will post a picture later today.<br /><br />Maile is growing like a weed, but is much much sweeter. At her six month appointment she weighed in at 19 lbs, pushing her into the 95% again. haha. She has since grown even more. She was 26 1/2 inches long, making the 75% mark and her head is just normal, they don't count cheeks. :) Our little angel has been learning so many new things. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SUvuUG9GfKI/AAAAAAAAAEM/e6XSIiik6Gs/s1600-h/HPIM1411.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SUvuUG9GfKI/AAAAAAAAAEM/e6XSIiik6Gs/s400/HPIM1411.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281577017253723298" border="0" /></a>Though she started sitting up at 4.5 months, she now does it with all the confidence in the world, bending every which way and scooting on her bum. She loves to move. We know it won't be long before she is crawling. These days she gets around by tipping herself over and rolling to her destination, which is usually anything that isn't one of her toys. Haha.<br />She is learning a whole slew of new noises. little screeches, grunts, laughs, giggles, blowing bubbles and and just talking to her self. She hasn't said "mama" or "dada" yet but we are working on it.<br />She loves hide and seek and getting "attacked" with kisses and a big hug from both Sean and I. She is always able to make us laugh. She has the biggest and cutest smile and we love seeing in taking up her whole face.<br />We have been trying new techniques for helping her get to sleep on her own and our plan is to get it down by the end of break. She is a good sport and learning quickly. She loves sleeping on her belly. We will lay her down at night on her back and in the morning she is sleeping on her tummy, with her little bum in the air. So funny. I will have to get a picture of that too.<br />As always, she is a good eater. She loves squash, applesauce, cereal, bananas, cheerios, celery sticks, juice, and anything else she can get her hands on. And she gets her hands on it, that is for sure. We usually transport her directly from the high chair to the tub. Where she plays with her toys and splashes everywhere.<br /><br />We are planning on a fun day over at Hann<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SUvusOUnNiI/AAAAAAAAAEU/aZuWodzw6zs/s1600-h/HPIM1372.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SUvusOUnNiI/AAAAAAAAAEU/aZuWodzw6zs/s400/HPIM1372.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281577431548245538" border="0" /></a>ah and Tom's house this Saturday! Naomi, Art and Hyrum are coming too! We are going to make <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Finnish-Nissua/Detail.aspx">Nisu a Finnish sweet bread</a>, eat dinner, and play games. I am so excited. With everything having been so busy it will be nice to just spend time with family and enjoy this wonderful season. Maile will be happy too, Hannah's girls always get a laugh out of her.<br /><br />We hope everyone is doing well and that you are all staying happy, healthy, and safe!

Works like a charm.<br />We went to our ward Halloween party and came in third for funniest and best over all, if everyone could have just gotten together wouldn't have had the split vote...maybe this is telling of tomorrow's elections. hmmm.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SQ_NvC0LVhI/AAAAAAAAADg/odYd7au0fN8/s1600-h/HPIM1311.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SQ_NvC0LVhI/AAAAAAAAADg/odYd7au0fN8/s400/HPIM1311.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264652697512662546" border="0" /></a><br />While spending the weekend with Sean's Family Maile wowed us all with her new found love of piano playing! It was funny to watch her excitement as she realized that pounding on the piano produced noise! She is a regular Mozart!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SQ_O2Q4bj9I/AAAAAAAAADo/4-cTw9iP-sU/s1600-h/HPIM1267.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SQ_O2Q4bj9I/AAAAAAAAADo/4-cTw9iP-sU/s400/HPIM1267.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264653921059311570" border="0" /></a><br />We have been trying differnt foods every few days. We had tried applesauce and she was loving it. Then last week we tried it again, and well needless to say we got differnt results. She is still loving her food though. She is now a wopping 17.4 (ish) lbs. She has been drooling like crazy which leads us to believe that she is teething, well that and her teething toy soothed fussyness.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SQ_QmXZxrEI/AAAAAAAAAD4/K58IWFdZ6kU/s1600-h/HPIM1161.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SQ_QmXZxrEI/AAAAAAAAAD4/K58IWFdZ6kU/s400/HPIM1161.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264655846955134018" border="0" /></a><br />She makes us laugh more and more everyday, especially since she has started to laugh more and more.

Maile has only gotten more beautiful as the days go on. We took her in for her 4 month appointment and found that not only is she as healthy as can be she is in the 90% for her weight and 50% for her head and height. haha. Our little chunker.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SOpzwUHIriI/AAAAAAAAACM/T8KPVpYw4tQ/s1600-h/HPIM1143.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SOpzwUHIriI/AAAAAAAAACM/T8KPVpYw4tQ/s400/HPIM1143.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254139189150658082" border="0" /></a><br /><br />She has begun doing so many things. She officially rolled over with no assistance on the 27th of Sept. She Started eating some sold food. She loves bananas!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SOp0SUAqhOI/AAAAAAAAACU/8Uqi3v-tH_8/s1600-h/HPIM1144.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SOp0SUAqhOI/AAAAAAAAACU/8Uqi3v-tH_8/s400/HPIM1144.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254139773239067874" border="0" /></a><br />She has begun grabbing her toes and seems at the moment to be satisfyed by just holding them. She is also grabbing things much quicker and more purpousfully. She loves her exersaucer and all the cool toys to look at and play with. She is already in 6-9 month clothes and is just a cute as can be!<br /><br />With the help of your hands she will stand up and wiggle all over the place. Her little legs are getting mighty strong! She is also able to sit up for a few seconds on her own. And it seems that she prefers sitting to laying down.<br /><br />She does lots of tummy time these days and her head is so strong. She is giggling and laughing more and more everyday. And finally she is responding to zerberts on her belly and that kind of play. She loves it!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SOp1weBZliI/AAAAAAAAACc/TYyQaNytSkY/s1600-h/HPIM1127.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SOp1weBZliI/AAAAAAAAACc/TYyQaNytSkY/s400/HPIM1127.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254141390834210338" border="0" /></a><br /><br />As for Sean and I, we are both getting older. Sean turned 25 on the 23 of Sept. and I turn 22 tomorrow. We are both in school and experiencing the craziness that comes with doing baby, school and work. It's hectic but we are loving every minute of being parents. Maile keeps us on our toes with all her new sounds and movements. She has begun giggling and talking with oos and gaas and that alone makes each day even better.Sean and Charityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00734310733302445624noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327434497778638679.post-32027372322832409662008-07-21T13:11:00.016-07:002008-12-19T12:17:27.900-07:00An update from the Peterson Family...<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" >We are now quite a few weeks into the parenting thing and absolutely loving it!

Sean gave a beautiful blessing and Maile slept through the whole thing. Much of Sean's family came down for the occas</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" >ion. We took lost of wonderful pictures.

It started with a weekend up at Mom and Dad "P's" house going to the 4th of July flag raising, singing the military songs, watching the parade, playin</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" >g games, BBQing, and of course awesome fireworks. And Maile slept through most of it. Yes, even the fireworks. She wore an adorable little outfit from Sean's mom and sisters. She was our little firework.<br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SIUDZcSJTUI/AAAAAAAAABM/ktNh-jsH3_c/s1600-h/Our+firework.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_bNN00FVCma8/SIUDZcSJTUI/AAAAAAAAABM/ktNh-jsH3_c/s400/Our+firework.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225586678257241410" border="0" /></a></span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Next we traveled up to Salt Lake to pick up my awesome little brother, Isaac and brought him up to Sean's Parents house. He is staying here for a few weeks and may possibly come out to stay come fall. We were going to be up at Mom and Dad "p's" on Sunday for fireworks anyway so we just stayed. The Weber State Symphony played the 1812 overture with real cannons so that followed by a stirring firework display made Maile pretty mad. It was sad.<br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" >Then on Tuesday we went camping in the Uinta Mountains with </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" >Sean's family and Isaac</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" > of course. It was a blast, however we think Maile got pretty sick of it by the last night, but she was a trooper. It gets pretty dang chilly at night so we bundled her up really well.

I don't know if I can adequately describe my happiness. This semester hasn't been too bad but well it is school. :) Sean seems to have a test every other day, in all actuality it is probably every other week, but he somehow conquers them all. I've had my fair share as well but my major seems to be more into projects, presentations and power points. I love my major probably more than ever but am still not entirely sure what Exactly I want to do with it someday. We had a guest presenter the other day who basically summed up what I want to do with my life. She said that what we do is invest our lives in people. What a beautiful goal. To invest my life in people.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Sean is still working for Competitive Edge Products. He does a lot of listing, website optimization and basic website management. He really enjoys the work and has learned a lot. I'm still at the BYU Key Office, at least until Maile is born. I am going to try to work until I deliver, however I really don't want to have my water break at work. That would be embarrassing! </span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Sean is in Soccer and Basketball intramurals. He is also taking a basketball class that he loves. It has helped him brush up on his skills and gain more confidence on the court. His teams are doing pretty well. Last game he made 3 three's and 3 out of 4 of his free throws, not to mention his amazing defensive skills. Needless to say, they won. I am pretty proud of him.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I have gained 25 lbs. to date and have what looks like a basketball in my belly. It (my belly) is now 28 cm. huge and I'm healthy as ever! Maile is just getting bigger and bigger. She is now about 17 inches long and about 3lbs! And boy is she active!! My belly moves all over the place. It is fun to watch, but sometimes it interferes with getting a good nights sleep. I guess she is just preparing me for what is to come. haha. I am achy and sore but I have been feeling pretty good. Sean has been a huge help in making me comfortable, getting things I drop on the floor and overall just making my life as a huge pregnant lady all the more bearable. He is great, I couldn't </span>h<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">ave asked for someone better.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This weekend one of my classes is putting on an event at the Young Living Lavender Farms in Mona. It is an Easter Festival. We have put the whole semester and about 5k into it and are soo excited! Sean is going to be helping too. What a good guy. There are going to be rock walls, an Easter bunny, a balloon making guy, crafts, pony rides, paddle boats, tons of fun, food, and of course a Sweet Easter Egg Hunt!, complete with prizes! We are really excited! All of our work is finally paying off!</span><br /></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">So being new to this whole blog thing I can't guaranty that this posting thing will become a regular occurance but we will try to keep you all updated on our lives! </span></div>Sean and Charityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00734310733302445624noreply@blogger.com0
