Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne.

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne


anyone know what these words mean in English??? Max and Marin ready to dig in to the New Year's feast!

Steph/goodness/Ben


GET IT!!!

A few of us got together at Peterson's for New Year's. It was quite the fun night if I do say so myself- even with R2D2 and the 14 fans!

Dar made some awesome.com grub, and we ate- A LOT.
this big peanut wasn't feeling too chipper. This was all of the cheese face I could get out of her that night. She went to bed pretty early...there's always next year Sawyer dear.
my favoritest baby ever....my sweetheart niece. We're glad they came!



Remember the days when you had just one kid and you just could hold them, and love them. and gaze into their eyes, and nothing could take you away? I love seeing Kara and Ben in love with their little girl.

she is precious.


Conli got an owie on her finger. Which finger you ask? The bad one. When I asked her to show me what happened, she straight up flipped me right off.....good thing she's innocent.

sorry mom- I know you think it's inappropriate, but I don't care who you are, it's funny!



After chillin upstairs we finally thought, "why the heck aren't we partying downstairs?????"

We figured it out around 10:30.

That's when the magic happened!


Above: Darla laughing at Aaron's mad skills on the drums. I think this was the 5th straight start over....boy's got rhythm

Lead Singer Stephanie-- mount up!


Ben felt the rhythm fo' sho'

such moves, such flowing moves






this pedal gave some peterson's some mad sore quads...play that bad bass. play it!

steph and Kara representin'


brent trying to teach Aaron"no skills"Peterson the ropes


just laugh it off, just laugh it off you jack knob



focus Dar, focus



Ash and Conli tried to stay up all night, but it didn't work...they were plumb. tuckered. out.


can you feel the excitement?


Max and Marin hiding from the festivities


clock strikes midnight, we go crazy....easy Petey's!


YEEEHAWWW!!! I've never been up this late in my life!!!! feelin a lil tipsy,but that's fine!


It was a super fun time! thanks friends for the preview of things to come-

countdown on!


just because

A serious case of the bed head

I know she was a lil rooster/chicken for Halloween, but why do I feel it is still October and she has become a homeless lil hen?


Max had a whole day of fun lined up for him and Brent Saturday. They were going to eat, play football, then watcha movie- all together. He was soooo excited! Well, it was 90 below that morning I'm sure, and the impact of a football hitting a tiny face that was pretty much frozen brings you to a nice owie. We're teaching him to live it up= "Can you get me a diaper Max?" " No mom, remember my bruise?"

Before church- all gussied up. I didn't realize they even owned matchies, but they did, so we had a fashion show. I've included all shots for your viewing pleasure, because, well, it pleases me, and it's my blog, so deal....



seriously, could they be posing any more?

I said let's take a picture, Max assumed this stance.

conli quickly rushed in

day 2 of "FIGHTER EYE"



so messy


maybe i shut off one of her "boooeeee's" this day...she's very serious about watching one every morning, right when she gets up....dressed or not!


Tiffy, Steph, Me



the gooey

oh, slides are so fun. this was the first time Conli worked up enough gusto to get up there by herself! It was a super good time!

She'd come all the way out of the slide, but then noticed Heather had a camera, so she climbed back up in the slide for a perfect photo opp.....she's nutso!


oh boy....some day her teeth will fill in right???

Max and Tay played this game for like 2 hours- no quarters, but they sure thought they ruled!


easty's new face..i love it! and of course, they're still twitterpated....forever


gotta keep a look out at the Cheese
good times, all the time....well, not really, but at least in the pictures right??? there's was a FANTASTICAL birthday party at Classic the other day that I've been dying to post, but someone hasn't sent me pictures....so...until then....love you all!
