Chubbs

 Aspen's favorite spot is under my bed

 Jersi loves the slide!

 Hilarious kids of mine

 Sometimes they think they're pretty gansta

 Kyndi somersaulting down the hill...

 Jersi's attempt...

 Aspen gets "tucked in" quite often around here.

Miss Jelly Bean

My Oaklee is 5 today.  My goodness I love her. 

Ask her what her whole name is and she'll tell you: Oaklee Jelly Bean Petersen
She s so excited to start kindergarten!  Why do they have you register them 5 months in advance?! It is so hard for them to understand that yes they're signed up, but they still have to wait forever to actually go to school!
She loves all things Ariel/Little Mermaid.  She's never even seen the movie!  I wanted to get her that movie so bad but with Disney's marketing dumbness where they remove it off the shelf for ten years at a time, I can't get it for her.  I'm super bummed.   (Anybody happen to have a copy of the dvd we can borrow??)

She's such a pretty little girl.  She is a snuggler.  Loves her daddy so much. And has a new found love for little dogs (Wonder how it'll go when Apsen gets big...)

Love you Oak-a-Dilly! Happy Birthday!

Roasty-Toasty

Kamron got me a fire-pit-thingy for our back yard!!

I quickly changed the dinner menu to roasted hot dogs...

All Tucked In

It's a typical Friday night at our house.  Friday's are "sleep-out" nights. The kids get to sleep in the family room, that is except for Jersi who was trying her best to hide from me so as not to be put to bed...

Apparently Aspen is all ready for sleep out night, thanks to Oaklee...

Lookin' Out the Window

The three Littles watching out my bedroom window... Dayton is behind the curtain... See anything wrong with this picture??

Can you tell we're trying to potty train around here?

Sprinklers

The kids, dogs, and Kamron were hanging out on the Jr. High lawn in our backyard, having a grand ol' time: (I took these pictures from an upstairs window of my house - isn't my camera fabulous??)

 Aspen was pestering Berklie - tugging at her leash.

 ...Until Berklie jumped up and went after her...

 ...That didn't stop her from doing it again.

Then the giant sprinklers suddenly turned on.

Oaks and Dayton decided they loved the Sprinklers!!

 Other entertaining pictures of Jersi and her daddy out there...
