Dirty Dash 2014

Updates on Clifton -
He is still really big on numbers, but instead of asking me what the numbers make he tells me what they make.  He knows any number from 0-100.  I am really impressed with his desire to know numbers.

Updates on McKay -
She must be going through a growth spurt.  She is eating like crazy!
Because of Clifton, McKay has now taken interest in numbers and asks what numbers she sees like whats 4 and 5 make.  Its cute to see her want to be like her brother.


First off... we are excited to announce.... Baby Peterson # 3 is due January 2nd.  I would love to have this baby this year or at least on the holiday because we apparently like to do that:)

The kids seem excited.  McKay seems to think she has a baby in her belly now.  And Clifton slept with the ultrasound pictures for a while.

For FHE we went and saw How to Train a Dragon 2.  A cute movie!

During the day USA had their first group game and we won!!!!!!

Great game and even better to watch it with friends:)

Alex was working from home all week since he couldn't put pressure on his foot.  So we were busy taking care of him.

The kids enjoyed pretending to be hurt too.  Silly kiddos:)

We did get Alex out once to Costco.

Where we had a little too much fun driving around on the scooter.  The kids, and possibly Alex, were in heaven.

We got one pretty warm day this week so we took out the sprinkler.

Always fun!

Saturday was the Dirty Dash.  The kids and I were beyond sad Alex could not join us this year:/

However we were still very excited to get muddy!

The gang before the race.  Dirt Never Looked So Good!  A great team and great friends.

After!  Next year I will make sure we are not the last wave (I didn't think we were but we were).  That way we won't feel so rushed to get to the Piglet Plunge.

Piglet Plunge!

I knew Clifton would love it but I was not sure about McKay.  They both LOVED it!  They both did the whole mile by themselves.  Clifton is getting so big it is often hard to believe.  He didn't want my help and didn't need it going up the cargo nets.  McKay was a little slow but insisted she was a big girl and was going to do it all:)  We did have a big fall near the end that made the kids want to just be done but luckily we were right next to the finish.  Hopefully next year I will have a hubby to help:)  Another great year at the Dirty Dash!  Already can't wait till next year.

Sunday was the second game for USA and we got some friends together to watch with us.

Clifton and McKay loved having friends over (especially Scout the dog).  Clifton later told me we should have more soccer parties.  I agree Cliff, I agree!

Oh man it was great game, a minute left and we were ahead by one.  But nope it was quickly taken away and they scored one to tie.  So close to knowing for sure we were moving on.  One more game and we have so much hope.  So excited for Thursday and hope we can pull out a win or at least a tie.
GO USA!
