Sam Goes to 2nd Grade

Merry Christmas from the Petersons

Enjoying the Holiday Season!

WOW! Waaaay too long for a post.

 

 

Sam just completed his 5th season of baseball! This year was a great year as we had the majority of the same boys on the team from last year. They played a great season, finishing second in the division and 4th in the post season.

 

First Time Ice Skating

Sam and I decided to take our talents to the ice skating rink. However, our talents didn't go very far. We had a great time "racing" around the big Christmas tree at the Galleria.

Where was Courtnee in all of this? Well, she was shopping while the boys were playing, but she did manage to catch this little clip.

Merry Christmas



On Friday Sam had his school Christmas Party and presentation. It was so much fun to get there early and take some photos of them having a Christmas Snack. Once the rest of the parents arrived, they started with singing and opened presents. It was great to see him interact with others in his class and as  you can see he is having a lot of fun.

 

Thanks Ms. Jayne, Ms. Ashley and Ms. Gabby for all that you do!

 

Merry Christmas!

Bluebonnets in Full Bloom

Over the weekend we took a day trip to Ennis, Texas and went Bluebonnet hunting. I am so thankful that I have a family that allows me to get out and take some photos, but it does take some bribery on my part. Over the past few weeks, I have been talking to Sam about the Bluebonnets and explained to him that it is the Texas State flower and we can not pick them. He loved riding with us throughout the country side and enjoyed looking at all of the flowers and Texas Longhorns. Below are just a few of my favorite images from this past weekend and I look forward to sharing more in the future.

Sam's Drawing Skills

A few weeks ago, Sam and I went to the playground to play. A family was out in the field playing soccer and Sam wanted to play too. We went out there to see if he could play and they included him in on the games. Here is his drawing of the event and the second picture is the computerized (dad's enhanced version) of Sam's art work.

The line art version.

Dad and Lad Once Again

Well, more like, all about Lad. This was a special time as Courtnee went out with some friends, while Sam and I stayed home to play, watch movies, make a fort and camp out in the living room.



Check out my new headband.

A Small Gathering

This past Saturday was an adventure. We received notice that some family members were going on an adventure to Athens. No not Athens Greece, but Athens Texas. Courtnee, Sam and I decided that this is an event that we should not miss. So the three of us loaded up and headed on our way. Thanks for a wonderful weekend to all of our family.
