Peterson reunion

This is Joe's Mom's side of the family, the petersons, a reunion we go to every year it is so so fun we love going and enjoy just visiting, catching up, playing with cousins, eating, eating and more eating, celebrating birthdays, exchanging F.H.E packets, sharing recipes, playing volleyball, watching BYU football, water sports, sawdust hunt, and most of all just being together, it was lots of fun with a lot of chaos. We shared a room with Joe's brother and his wife, with their 5 kids so between between the two of us there was 9 kids 6 and under and four adults, you can imagine how much sleep we got:) still great memories. My favorite part is just catching up and sharing sweet memories with family!!
Lorna Joe's Aunt was in charge with her family this year and they did a Dr. Seuss theme "Oh the places you'll go" Think about that if you have a minute, Oh the places you'll go and the people you will meet when you get there. It was a great theme and we all had a wonderful time Dr. Seuss style.


The kids before church showing their reverence, wow that's a first:)

dirty face, but a cute one



I just have to say this is Pam, Joe's sister and I know she will kill me for putting this picture on here but I just had to. She is one of the most incredible people I know. She is the most amazing aunt all my kids just love her to pieces and think the world of her. Not only that but I just love her and think the world of her. There are not many people in this world quite like her. She is one of my very best friends. And I so consider her my sister (thank goodness I married Joe:) She is so selfless and giving. Her heart is so huge she has room to love everyone and is so greatful for everything. She is so patient and kind and her and I just connect we could talk for hours about anything or nothing. She has spent many a nights with me when Joe is out of town, I even took a road trip with her just me her and three kids across Idaho when Joe was gone on business. She is the one who convinced me I could run a half marathon and ran my first one with me (I so thank her for helping me gain that confidence, she has run a full marathon herself) and since then I have even ran a 2nd one (half that is:). I could go on and on. I have so many wonderful memories with her and so many good laughs to look back on. I really just don't know what I would do with out this girl and I just wanted her to know that. It isn't too often that we get to publicly thank people that mean so much to us so this is my chance to do that for her. Love ya Pam, so so much!!!
