SUMMER FUN

We went to Delta for a company party we all had so much fun Audrey got to play with Josh and Dan and I got to water ski.

"Oh no her dad caught us!"

Audrey loves DIRT!

Addy is now 4 months old and won't stay on her back.

She also loves loves loves books.

Another favorite of Addy's is to watch out the window.

Look who turned 3! We had a fun b-day at the park and she got a bike with '2 wheels not 3'

For some reason Audrey thought these brown shoes from g-ma were the coolest gift. Who would have guessed.

She loves her bike.

Ali and Audrey in her new chair swing from G-ma Petersen

Dress up with gifts from cousins.

Addy is such a happy baby and makes us all smile

My two beautiful girls

It's been raining almost everyday for the last two weeks. We've been loving it.

Our Happy Girl Addy is starting to smile.

For those who haven't seen yet I finally chopped my hair. This is the before picture.

Ta Da here's the after pic. I love the new cut, should have done it years ago.

2009-05-31T12:11:00.000-07:00

SUMMER BEGINNINGS

Yard Work, Yard Work, and more Yard Work. Audrey loves to help. I think that's what you call it anyway is 'help'

Hanging out with G-ma in the hammock is also fun.

Addy is becoming more and more alert. She loves her Daddy.

Another favorite of Audrey's is playing in the puddles after the rain storms.

Grandpa came to visit all the way from Indiana!! Audrey loved having grandpa here and still talks about him everyday. She's always wanting to go to the airport to pick him up again.

Our little Addy Lynn Petersen was blessed May 24th.

Jump Jump Jump I think Audrey could live on the tramp.

Daddy's Girls!

Everyone has been bugging for a prego shot so here's my best attempt. My boss took us out to dinner at the Roof. I have about 4 weeks left! It's count down time.

Audrey had such a fun time building a snowman a few days prior to this that she decided she needed to build another one. Here's her awesome attempt :) She even found the wilted carrot and tried using it as this ones nose. Funny Kid!

It was a nice sunny day so I decided to take Audrey to the park because she has been asking to for weeks now.

2009-01-19T12:19:00.000-08:00

So I'm trying to redeem myself for not blogging in a long time. I'm going to post a few slide shows of stuff we've done this past summer and fall.

Our New Home!

(a.k.a. our 'Fixer Uper')

So I have had a bunch of people tell me that I need to update our blogg with our new house so here it comes. Keep in mind that these are before pictures and it is a work in progress. I will post after pictures as they come.

Our new home is on 100W in Tooele. It was built in 1915 and needs quiet a bit of work but thanks to my Dad and the work of others we'll get it looking good.

I'll show the best part first, the Kitchen. This was remodled about 5 years ago and is in pretty good condition.

Here's the tiny bathroom where as my sister says "you can sit on the toilet and wash your hands at the same time!"

This is a picture of the hardwood floors in what will be the living room and office. Dan will be refinishing them.

This is the scary looking back room that will be a storage and laundry room.

"Our Dungeon" the basement is pretty scary but will be nice for storage.

This is an example of the fix ups that needed to be done. If you look closley you can see that this is a fist hole in our wall. See the outline?

An example of a bedroom. We ripped out all of the carpet and are texturing and painting all the walls.

Hard at work of course!

My Dad telling everyone what to do next!

Audrey so dutifully mixing paint. We took a chance and bought some mess up paint and mixed our own color. Thanks to my mom and her eye for color it turned out great.

One of our first major projects was taking down some ugly trees in the yard. The previous owners had done a horrible wack job so we had to take them all the way down. They were probably about 60-70 years old.

Unfortunatly I don't have a good before picture but this is the front of the house after we took down the trees. It looks a lot better.

Paint, paint, and more paint. It's comming along!

2008-02-05T10:33:00.000-08:00

A Few Updated Pics

It's been a while so here's a few pics. I will be updating again shortly.

Audrey is growing up more and more everyday. The pic above is one of my favorites. What a cute cowgirl.

Play, play, play that's what Audrey is all about. Wether it's driving Grandpa's lawn mower or making up her own crayon game she keeps on going.

Coloring is also another favorite of Audrey's especially on the white board.

Oh yes and wearing funny hats is also fun.Look at the beautiful little girl with pig tails! Her hair is getting so long.

Dan & Dave got together with Uncle Mark and did a professional recording of Yodeling Santa Claus. They had a great time getting together and were very happy with the recording.

Mark plans on getting the brothers together soon to do a recording of their vocals as well. We appreciate Marks help and we were thrilled to make this a Petersen family project.

Life in Erda

Audrey is having a great time here in Erda. She found this toy truck outside and was having a blast on it making all the sound effects.

We had Thanksgiving at our house. Check out the beautiful turkey.

We just had my parents, Anna, and us. It was great.

After dinner things got a little crazy. Here's Anna trying out mom's green bean thing. Disgusting!

We made some awesome rainbow Jello it had 12 layers and took us about 8hours to make it.

Living on the farm Audrey has found a new favorite thing to do. Play in the tractors! Look at that grin.

She takes it quite seriously. Notice the one-handed driving while using the levers with the other hand. To see just how huge the tractor is take a look at the picture below.

It's HUGE next to her!

Another one of Audrey's favorite thing to do is to find cool old junk out in the yard. She found this old bike and just had to get in the basket.

It Snowed!! "What is this white stuff?"

Most of all Audrey loves to play with Mom and Dad.

2007-11-14T13:26:00.000-08:00

Weekend Visitors

We are finally getting all settled into our new place. This last weekend Keith & Cheryl came to visit along with their boys we had a great time with them.

Audrey loves having Dillan (center) and Josh (right) around. She has missed them tons.

Audrey, Tyson, and Josh had a great time in the bath together.

Our house has a little metal, spiral staircase in it that Audrey thinks is her jungle-gym. It's very dangerous as you can see so we have to come up with ways to block it off.

Now that we are all settled in it's time to sit back take a 'big drink' and relax! (I'm not sure whose idea this was!)

2007-11-06T12:34:00.000-08:00

HAPPY DAY!!!!

So it happened already Dan just got a job. He will be working for Hunter Douglas as their 'Wood Scrap Manager' (WSM). Hunter Douglas produces all sorts of blinds and window coverings http://www.hunterdouglas.com. He will be the manager of 5 or 6 guys. We are so proud of him!

Here he is just getting home from the interview, spreading the good news to his mom. They interviewed about 10 people and chose Dan to be their man.

2007-11-06T12:00:00.000-08:00

HALLOWEEN!!

We had a great Halloween Audrey was a frog take a look at some of the pictures.

Here's the little tadpole with Grandma.

She was a Woman on a mission!

Here's a little video clip of Audrey on the move.

This is Audrey at her very first door. We only went to a few houses but she loaded up cause everyone thought she was so cute and let her take more than one piece.

2007-11-02T14:34:00.000-07:00

The Big Move

For those of you who haven't heared we packed up and moved up North to Erda. It was sad to leave Cedar City & all our friends behind but I think the change will be for the good.

We packed and packed, well Audrey unpacked and cleaned and cleaned.

We made sure to pack all our 'precious' things into boxes!

One of the nights we took a break to go visit Gram & Gramp Allen.

Then we got the UHAUL and started loading it up. Audrey couldn't figure out why the tv was in the back of a truck.

Now we are here in Erda trying to get all settled in. Audrey is picking up fast how to live in the country!

Not Sure Where to Start

I'm not sure where to start on the update so kick back and enjoy some pictures.

Crazy Hairdo

Playing in the sink and loving it!

Audrey loves water of any kind!

Audrey asleep in Daddy's arms after her 1yr shoots and toe pricking.

Aunt Anastasia showing Audrey a new way to play the piano!

Audrey loves to say and sign "DOG" she also loves to play with them. As you can see they are very tolorent of her.

We have a big apple tree in our backyard where Audrey and Dan love to pick apples. Keith & Cheryl Wheeler's boys, Dillan(left), Josh(right), came to visit and partake of the goodness as well.

Audrey can really sink her teeth into those apples. Every time we take her in the backyard she points up at the tree and wants an apple.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Dan and Audrey.

Audrey has been loving the fresh salsa from the garden. So much so that she even dunked her binki in it check out below.

Keith and Cheryl came over to pick some apples. We had alot of fun.

2007-09-02T22:09:00.000-07:00

Our Danmark Trip

We had a great time in Danmark. Take a look at some of our pictures.

Our first day there we went to a town called Skagen which is located at the very Northern tip of Denmark. At this point two seas, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, actually meet. If you look close you can see waves from each sea crashing together.

Next we had a chance to go see a village that has been preserved to looked just as it would have in the 1700. All the houses were yellow with orange roofs so the sailors could spot land while out at sea. The streets were all cobble stone and were very narrow.

We visited lots of churches where Dan's ancestors worshiped. At every church there were beautiful graveyards. We all thought we were going to be able to find grave spots of some of the ancestors but we found out that grave spots are rented by families for 25 years and after that they are rented to someone else. They remove the grave stones and stack them in the rear of the grave yard as you can see below. In the picture with Dan & Dave they are standing where thier Great-Grandfather was christened. These churches were all built in the 1300-1500 and are still used today.

We stayed in cool guest houses in the small town of Blokhus. The houses were close to the beach so we went to check out the beautiful sunsets almost every night. A couple of the nights it was very windy as you can see.

We happened to drive though a town where a bunch of people were standing on the side of the road waiting for something so we decided to stop and find out what was going on. It was the annual Denmark bike race passing through the town.

In an attempt to cure bordem Dan & Dave found the trap doors to the bell tower of one of the churches we visited. It was pretty high up. If you look closley you can see their heads in the window.

We went to the only National Park in Denmark. The land was purchased by Danish immigrants and handed over to the government on the condition that it would be preserved. Every 4th of July they have a big celebration with thousands of people in honor of the USA. Our uncle Mark performed at this celebration with the Singing Mormon quartet when he was on his mission. This monument represents the many Mormon immigrants that came to the US. We went to a natural spring where we refilled our bottles. We then hiked through a beautifull forest that cannot be described by the pictures below.

We had the chance to take our car accross on a barge. This warning sign is a little different than we typically see in Utah.

We went to an out door museum that described more of how things were in the country life during the 1700s.

This is a Cathedral that we visited when we got to copenhagen. We also visited the Church of our Lady where we saw the original Christus.

We went to the Hans Christian Andersen house. He's the author who wrote "The little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", etc.

We went to the Fredricksbourg Castle. It was very amazing. One of our favorite things there was the room with the Carl Blok paintings. As you can see in a picture below his paintings are very familiar painings used by the LDS church.

We went to the Viking Museum and Amy talked us into dressing up.

We went to a 7-11 in Copenhagan and Danielle bought herself a 3 dollar small slurpee.

It's very common to ride bikes in Copenhagan. This is how it looks at rush hour.

On our bus and boat tour we had a chance to see the changing of the guards at the Queens Palace. We also saw the Little Mermaid staute which was sculped in honor of Hans Christian Andersen.

As you can see we had the chance to go to the Temple while we were there. The temple is actually a restored church building that our dad and his brother, our uncle Jerry, attended while they served together.

Summer Days

Audrey loves to be outside enjoying the good weather.

Grandpa got a new hot rod so Audrey had to take it for a test ride.

We went to Great Great G-mas 89th B-Day party and tested out the swing in the back yard. Audrey loved it.

Hanging out with Dad eating her poka-dot socks.

Audrey showing off her bottom teeth. She now has 8 teeth!

Audrey's new "Stink Bug" sleeping position.

We went site seeing at the Old Iron Town. This is us in an old kilen they used to make coal to process the iron.

This is the kilen from the outside.

Audrey's first encounter with a lizard at Old Iron Town.

We spent Memorial Day in Panguitch and found some surprise kittens in Grandma Petersen's shed.

Then we ate tin foil dinners out by the camp fire.

Dan's boss gave us some time at his time share in St. George. We all had a great time. Audrey loves the swimming pool.

Audrey loves to help Dad with the yard work.

Huge Update
It's been way too long since we've had a chance to update everyone on our family. We chose a few pictures of things we've done in the past few months so enjoy.

We had tons of snow this year. This storm was WAIST DEEP!! (well to Audrey anyway).

Audrey's first try at eating something.

The "after bath" look.

She still LOVES her Daddy!!!!

She never would take a bottle!

Grandpa bought Audrey a new toy!

She let her mom and dad take it for a spin!

The Grandmas came for a visit so we took the oppurtunity to take a 5-generation shot.

All in all Audrey is a very happy girl!

2006-12-25T15:15:00.000-08:00

Cute Picture of the Day

I thought Audrey's outfit looked cute this morning so I took a picture. I asked her for a smile and so she gave it to me! G-ma bought her the new thermal shirt, it's a good color on her.

2006-11-28T14:00:00.000-08:00

More of Our Cute Girl

We finally got Audrey into her new crib thanks to G-ma & G-pa.
As you can tell she screamed the first time we put her in it. She is starting to get used to it now.

This is Audrey and Dan trying to keep warm in our freezing house. The house we rent was built in 1950, I don't think they thought much about energy efficiency back then.

When daddy goes into get her out of bed in the mornings this is how she greets him! When mom goes into get her it's a different story. What a daddy's girl.

We had Thanksgiving at the Marshall's (Dan's Aunt& Uncle) in Panguitch.

This is Audrey and Mom relaxing in the hammock chair. It's crazy to think that next year Audrey will be right up at the table wanting some turkey & mashed potatoes of her own.

On your first child you have to take a picture of everything.

Dan snapped this one because it was Audreys first time

wearing a pair of shoes. I thought it was pretty cute.

2006-11-13T13:41:00.000-08:00

2006-11-02T12:04:00.000-08:00

Audrey sure loves her daddy. She was trying to eat Dan's nose while he was laying beside her.

We decided to see what Audrey would do if we put her in the real bathtub. She loved it! She soaked in there for over a half hour. When it was time to get out she cried and cried.

2006-10-16T13:08:00.000-07:00

Welcome to our new site. Make sure you drive by every once in a while to check it out.

Audrey likes to hear her dad sing and play the guitar. Check out Dan's latest song that was inspired by the birth of our first child.
