Zoe is 6 weeks old!

Time flys with a newborn! Zoe is 6 weeks old today and still an angel! She looks so big in these pictures. She started smiling this week, I painted her fingernails :), and she is sporting a cute headband and bow I made for her. I am sure enjoying this little girl!

I couldn't leave out these two little fellas..

Hiking Dixie Rock..

We had a little family outing to the Dixie rock. The boys loved it of course, and Zoe was a little angel in the backpack!

Handsome boys!

Adorable!

Beau is 6 years old!

My baby boy turned 6 on Saturday! I know I say this every year, but I can't believe he is that old already. We celebrated at Pirate Island Pizza with Grandma and Papa Petersen and Adrie, TyAnn and Italia.

Beau's cakes have steadily gone downhill the past few years. He wanted a dinosaur and army guy cake. So we went all out and dug some dinos and GI Joes out of the toybox and stuck them on his cake. Sorry, maybe next year I will be a little more creative.

And tonight right before bed, he lost his first tooth! He is growing up way too fast!

What a difference a girl makes..

We got Zoe's pictures taken and personally I don't think she could get any cuter. It is so different to have a little girl! She is such a good baby, only waking up once in the night to eat! We've got a little angel on our hands.

TJ's cousin Julie took the pictures. Check out her photography blog, Jules Photos. She does an awesome job! I love all of these.

Beau's First Day of School!

Beau started Kindergarten this week! He has been very excited all summer and the first day finally came..

Waiting for the bus to come, luckily the bus stop is right by the park.

And here is Luke after Beau got on the bus. He was just a little sad to see his big brother go to school without him. And I'm the mom who takes pictures of her kid crying because I'm mean like that!

Luckily, Kindergarten is only 3 hours :)

Zoe's Home!

Ok.. So she came home over a week ago, but I am just now posting the pictures.
Zoe's Story:
I went to my doctor appointment on Tuesday the 10th and went straight to work from there. I started having contractions at work, but I just worked right through them :). It was actually my last day of work and my clients were all trying to come before I left. When I went home my contractions were about 10 minutes apart. I started panicking just a little because my bag wasn't packed and I didn't want to have to call someone in the middle of the night to watch the boys. We decided to go to bed and if it was real labor I would wake up, well sure enough I woke up at 3 am with painful contractions 4 to 5 minutes apart. I tried not to wake up TJ, but with every contraction I knew I needed to get up and pack my bag. We packed up and called my Grandma (who lives very close to the hospital) and asked if we could drop of 2 sleepy boys. It was like Christmas morning watching them come to the door to take our boys. When we got to the hospital at 4:30 I was dialated to a 6. At 9:30 I was at an 8 and they broke my water. It was all fun and games until then, I choose not to get an epidural this time. It was an amazing and very painful experience. It was a lot more like the movies than I thought it would be, screaming and all! But after pushing through just 2 contractions, she was born at 11:03 a.m. She is beautiful, and such a little angel. We are so blessed to have her!
