Here are just some random photos that we would like to share with you!

Sam's new love for Goggles!


Where is my snowboard? Come on Mom and Dad take me to Beaver Creek! Lets ride the Zoom Room!

My Cheeks are Nice and Rosy

The cold weather and snow is now upon us. Over the weekend we received a few inches of snow and so it was the time to get out and get the sidewalks and drive way shoveled. Sam and I got all dressed, grabbed the shovels and got busy. After our chores were completed we had fun making show angles, racing and throwing snow into the air. We hope everyone has a fun Holiday Season!

Thanksgiving Preparations

Every year Kelly and I do the same thing....bake bake bake 'til the cows come home. His specialty is a pumpkin pie. Yes, my man can bake! He makes a beautiful pie (pie crust and all). My dessert usually varies, but this year Daddy requested a chocolate pie. So we threw a little Mannheim Steamrollers into the cd player and got to crackin'. We had to take a photo of us in our cute aprons (ok Kelly wouldn't want me to refer to him as cute in an apron so take a look at him looking all manly in the Texas apron). Also, earlier today I mixed up our family's cornbread dressing and Kelly mixed up the green bean casserole. I believe we're set and ready to be "thankful" at the dinner table tomorrow evening at mom and dad's. But we really do have so much to be thankful for. I don't think I can cover everything that I'm thankful for, but I know that I am blessed to have such a wonderful quirky family. I love it! Kelly and I often laugh at how we don't think anyone else could tolerate us so thank God He brought us together!! I believe that Sam is one of our greatest treasures and reasons to be thankful. I never thought we'd be blessed with such a beautiful, goofy, intelligent, loving boy. And of course our parents who do so much for us, thank you. Kelly and I wish everyone a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving. Happy Turkey Day y'all!

Happy Halloween just a little late!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween this year. Sam, Courtnee and I had a wonderful time. We started by going to eat at Perkins and then getting Sam out to do a little trick or treating. Once he understood that he could go knock on someones door, say trick or treat and get a snack, he was all about it. Here is our little Handy Manny/Worker Guy. Oh and NO Sam did not eat all the candy. Mom and Dad did!! Why else would we let him go trick or treating.

Family Day Trip

Autumn is a beautiful time in Central Wisconsin and every year we take a family day trip to enjoy the brilliant colors. This year, I was anxious to get out and take some fall waterfall photos. In preparation we checked out the fall tracking website (www.travelwisconsin.com) to see if any of the waterfall areas would still be in “peak” season. After research, we decided to head North to Ashland County to scratch that itch. On Saturday, we got up, got ready and took off. The colors close to home were absolutely beautiful. As we got further north the color started to fade, and fade, and eventually NO LEAVES! The look of disappointment overcame Courtnee and me. We were not going to let a little color ruin our trip. While on day trips we always try and find a nice little pizza palace we can enjoy (another tradition in the Peterson house). It was getting lunch time and we decided to stop in Park Falls Wisconsin to see what we could find. We drove around downtown and found Grandmazs Pizza, right next to a nice little video repair shop. After Pizza, we continued with Young Sam (watching Cars in the backseat) and reached our destination; Copper Falls State Park. The falls are just wonderful. You are able to see many different angles of the waterfalls (3) in the area. The walking path is 1.7 miles long and has footbridges, look out spots, and resting areas for you to enjoy the nature. After enjoying the nature, we decided to start heading back. After the long car ride back home we decided that we need to do a little more research on our fall colors before we venture out.

The Pizza place next to an electronics repair center! NICE NAME!


I think he was waving bye bye to the water.

Fall in Wisconsin

It has been way too long once again. Here are some photos of Sam playing with his pumpkins. It is peek season here in Wisconsin with all of the leaves changing. I am hoping that we can get out and do a little drive to see the fall leaves. We love this time of year, but hate what is to come in the next few months. You know that "S" word that we are not suppose to say! We hope to post more soon!

A New shirt from Japan! Our friends Seth, Chicka and Liam got this Samurai shirt for Sam. Thank you Seth, Chicka and Liam.

Dad does this go in the basket?

Just hanging out playing some football!

Go Pack Go!

Well ok, that is what everyone around here yells. We, too, yell it when we are not rooting for the Cowboys. Curt and I threw on the green and gold and headed to Lambeau field to check out a Packers/Colts pre-season game. This was not our first trip to Lambeau field, but it was a first to watch a game. We had a great time watching the game and given the opportunity to go back, we would be all over it.
