I stayed home on Wednesday because we didn't have daycare. Naptime at the Peterson house.

Fun in the Sun

Finally, we were able to get outside with Aubrie and enjoy some sunshine, even though I kept her in the shade most of the time :)

New things Aubrie has experienced in the last couple of weeks:

- sitting in the grass, most the time she grabs at it and tries to put it in her mouth

-going in a swimming pool....I realized how protective I really am once we put her in a floaty in the pool. I stood over her the whole time and didn't want her to tip over :)

-meeting a horse and a cow for the first time, she LOVED the horses and kicked and flailed her arms and made noises at the horses. She like the cows too. The cow even sniffed her leg, it was so cute.

- Uncle Kurbis held Aubrie for a LONG time.....they bonded....it was so cute!

-Aubrie ate peaches for the first time and loved them. She is doing better all the time at baby food. Still not crazy about table food, but that is ok.

All in All, everyone in the Peterson household is doing good......Luke and I just hit the 7 year mark! Crazy how time goes by so fast.

Have a great week!

7 months and Memorial Day Weekend

The sassy seat - My grandma bought this for me when I was a baby, sure makes me feel old!


Aubrie's first boat ride, she screamed the whole time. It was super windy and cold. Don't worry I took this life jacket off her, she couldn't move a muscle.

We had a fun weekend, went on walks, first boat ride, played games and spent lots of time outside.

My little punkin - So cute!

We had a great weekend at BBL. It was nice to relax, spend time with family, eat great food, play games, have a bonfire and be on the lake. Can't wait for our next weekend at BBL.....let's just hope we have warmer weather. :)

Aubrie on her 7 month birthday

Crab Legs

Luke went and bought crab legs for dinner tonight. I had never made them before, but were SO easy to make and SO nummy! Worth every penny.

We had a great weekend. Luke had a golf tournament on Friday so it was just Aubrie and I. We hung out with the Bigalke girls and then Aubrie was in bed by 8pm and I watched Mama Mia.

Saturday I jazzercized in the morning, then we unloaded a bunch of stuff from our storage room and brought it to Goodwill, ran errands and then met the Martin's for dinner at Rancho Grande....our fav. Mexican spot in Monticello.

Today we had "The Church has Left the Building" at church. There was a short service and then we headed to the Town Greene in Maple Grove and did weeding and mulching. It was really fun to be able to serve with Luke. We had a great time and then had lunch w/ my mom at Sawtdee. (A lot of eating out this weekend!)

Aubrie is doing great. She turned 7 months old yesterday!
Luke and I are trying to get her to say, "Da da". She will say, Dadadada, but doesn't know who "da da" is yet.....she rolls over now from her belly to back and is just so fun. It must be a sight to see when it is Luke, Myself, Aubrie, Sadie and Hogan all in Aubrie's room on the ground playing :)

I hope everyone has a great week!

She had to eat prunes

Aubrie had to eat prunes so she could do her business. She actually really loved them. I couldn't resist her messy face. She is starting to eat more real food other than just rice cereal...

We don't have a whole lot going on this weekend and I am thankful for that. I am going to try and get some rest :)

Have a great weekend.

Aubrie's Dedication and Mother's Day

We had Aubrie's dedication on Mother's Day. It was a great day and I was glad to be able to have both Auntie's and Uncles there for Aubrie. We are so blessed to have a wonderful family that loves us. I am also excited for Aubrie to have a great church to be brought up in.

A magazine is so much fun

I set Aubrie on the couch one evening and the Schwan's catalog was sitting there. She seriously destroyed the whole thing and had so much fun doing it!

Easter in Iowa

We had a great time in Iowa. Aubrie did fabulous both car rides there and back, and she did great being with the rowdy Peterson gang :)

The highlight of our trip was Aubrie's first road trip of course, her first Easter and Easter basket, AND an easter egg hunt with all of Luke's cousins for 14 eggs on 80 acres of land and me winning the HUGE $10 prize!!!

It was really nice to spend time with Luke's whole family.

Picture I took on my camera of one of Aubrie's 6 month pictures!

Off to Iowa

We are leaving this afternoon for Iowa. Luke's Aunt and Uncle have a farm with 80 acres there down a long the Guttenberg river. It is beautiful! I am excited to get out of town for a couple of days, but a little nervous for our first road trip with Aubrie. The doggies are going to the kennel for the weekend :)

Happy Easter to All!
