Happy 6th Birthday Kimberly

Happy Birthday to our Kimberly Nicole Peterson. 6 years ago you were given to us by Heavenly Father and we were so blessed. I can't believe you are already 6 years old. Where has the time gone.

We had a great day today. Got to go to Kimberly's school and share some pictures and take some treats. I found out that all the kids in her class think she is a great friend. I loved how every kid's hand shot up when the teacher asked if they had something nice to share about Kimberly. I thought she was a good example to her friends but this proves to me even more what a good girl she is. Then we had lunch with my parents and had a lot of fun at lunch. Afterwards we went home and opened presents. This year I sent Kimberly on a hunt for all her presents and she truely loved it. It was a highlight of her whole day. After presents and cake and visits, it was off to dance practice where they sang happy birthday to her. After dance we took her out to dinner. Right now her favorite place is Chilis so we went there. They sang happy birthday to her and gave her a free dessert so that was nice. We had so many visitors and presents and phone calls today. I think Kimberly finally went to sleep about 10 minutes ago (9:10) with a smile on her face.

Matthew had a lot of fun today celebrating Kimberly's birthday. He was enjoying the presents as much as Kimberly. If you ask him when his birthday is, he will till you not till May. haha.

Our daughter is just growing up too fast. We love her so much!


Happy Birthday Kimberly!

Sportsmen Expo Saturday

Yesterday we ventured down to Salt Lake City to attend the Sportsmen Expo. This is one of Brian's favorite outings. On the way to Salt Lake, Brian and I commented on how we hadn't headed south of Cache Valley since December (we need to get out more). The expo was very full but we had a lot of fun.

Our first stop was to visit with a couple of KUTV 2 news people. We got to meet Mark Kobel and get his autograph and then had a good visit with Sterlin Poulsen. That was pretty fun for us. Kimberly was happy that she had seen those people on TV. Then we made our way to the splash dogs. This is one of our favorite things to see at the expo. These cute dogs leap off docks into a big pool of water... all to see how far the can jump. A few dogs actually make the jump but my favorite are the dogs that are scared. They run to the end of the dock and then start barking at their toy in the water. haha. Most of the dogs eventually jump into the pool but there are the few that have to leave the dock without getting wet. The kids enjoyed the dogs.

Then we were finding food and found something more important... DOGS FOR SALE. The kids got to pet and hold the cutest puppies. Here are a few pictures:

Then it was off the find the bears. We had seen the cutest baby bears on the news and they said you could see them at the expo. So we looked and finally found them. You could pay to have a picture and hold the baby bear. We looked at them first and realized that we had to hold them and pay the money.

We got to hold the cute bear (it naws like a puppy on your arm) and had a picture.

All in all we had a fun day. We got to see a few more news people (Shauna Lake and Lindsey Storr) and checked out some 4 wheeling stuff. Brian did buy a new toy for the 4 wheeler.

We wore out the kids and ourselves. I would have had much more fun but I wasn't up to par. Oh well.
