Birthday Boy

March 24, 2011

Three years ago today God blessed us with our sweet Ayden.

He had a very special day filled with all of his favorite things...his friends & family, Imagination Movers, Buzz Lightyear, chicken nuggets and baked ravioli, presents, cupcakes and a happy birthday song from Grandma & Grandpa! He is such a special little boy and we have enjoyed watching him grow and learn. He is our tough lil guy with the big huge heart. We love you Ayden! Happy 3rd Birthday!

Tired Boy

Zach went to bible study with Mommy and big brother Ayden for the first time this morning. He finally got to meet all of Mommy's wonderful friends that have been praying for him. Zach hopes he did not hurt Mrs. Linda's feelings because he fell asleep as soon as she started teaching. I took this picture after we got home today. Zach was wiped out from his morning with mommy. He can't wait for the next outing....and another nap:-)

Mom

My amazing Mom will be celebrating her 29th birthday on Sunday:-) Mom took the last few weeks off from work to help with the boys and the baby. She is such a blessing to me and I don't know what I would do without her. We had a birthday dinner for her tonight. I made my homemade lasagna and Jason made a homemade pound cake...mom's favorite. It was a fun night celebrating our wonderful Mom and Mimi.

It is rare and sometimes impossible to catch her with the camera...but I did manage to snap these few.

We love you Mom...Happy Birthday!

Thankful!!

It is Tuesday morning and I am sitting here in the quiet watching our sweet lil guy sleep and enjoying my second hot...yes I said hot cup of coffee:-) Darren has left to take Landon to school and Ayden is still sleeping. It was Zach's second night in his new home and he let mommy sleep for four hours then a feeding and back to sleep for three more. He has been such a good baby and only cries when he is stripped down for his diaper changes. We are so blessed and embrace the responsibility God has given us to raise three boys. I'm so thankful for all of our amazing friends and family that have called to check on us...sent delicious meals and most important prayed for us! Zach has no idea right now how much he is loved.....but I know he will soon:-)

And baby makes 5!

We are so blessed!
Zachary Tyler Peterson joined our family on Saturday March 12th at 2:31 in the afternoon. The delivery was great and he is the most precious little boy. His big brothers Landon & Ayden are so crazy about him and have already taken on the big brother role with pride. We are so overwhelmed with the blessings God has given us and the incredible responsibility He has placed in our hands. We are so thankful for all of our wonderful family and friends who have given us so much support, guidance, love and prayers.....keep it coming!

Sweet Anticipation

One more day and we will get to meet our sweet
lil guy!

Today is my actual due date. Zachary's heart rate was a little low yesterday so Dr. White decided we should induce. Darren and I will be off in the morning bright and early to induce labor and meet our sweet little boy. After all these months of waiting the time is here. His big brothers are so excited!

We are so thankful for everyone who has supported and prayed for us!

We can't wait for Zach to meet everyone!

Celebrating Baby Zachary

God has blessed me with some of the most amazing friends & family in the world!

They had a baby shower for Zach and I on February 26th. April, Delisa, Jessica, Jill & Mindy worked so hard and put together a wonderful shower full of fun, fabulous food and awesome friends. Thank you gals...you sure do know how to make a girl feel special and so blessed!

The shower had a monkey theme...I always call the boys lil monkeys. Now I will have three:-) Thanks April for the adorable

monkey cake!

The food was SOOO

good! YUMMY!!

Upward Basketball

This was Landon's first year playing Upward basketball. We had a blast watching and supporting these lil guys and gals at games on Saturday mornings. Landon was fortunate to have a great family friend of ours Chris Brower coach and some of his best school buddies play on his team. It was a great season and we can't wait for round two in the summer!

Way to go Lil Hawks!!!
