Surprise!

Things happen for a reason...

Those words are words to live by - some times those "things" are insignificant, other times "things" are life changing...

For the last year we have debated if we should have a 3rd child - I always wanted 3, but after 2 terrible babies that screamed at us for months because of colic, making that decision was not easy. Of course in the back of my mind I wanted a little girl, but again the risk of another baby SCREAMING all day and night, really made me question - is it worth my sanity?! Denin and I agreed to decided next year, January, after our cruise. After all, both boys are finally relatively self-sufficient, so do we really want go back to that????

As I said in the beginning, things happen for a reason... Without trying, and completely unexpected - I'm pregnant! Wow! After the initial hysterics (me of course), and a confirmed ultrasound that there is only 1 baby, Denin and I are both happy. We are planning on another baby with colic - we are realistic, we expect this one will have colic worse than Kamden! Boy or girl, it doesn't matter - as long as it is healthy!

Meet baby #3 - coming to the Peterson household on (or before) June 5, 2010!

Pumpkins for my punkins'

On Saturday we took the boys' to J & J nursery for their hayride and to pick out pumpkins straight from the pumpkin patch. This was our 3rd year doing this and was by far the warmest and nicest day we have had picking pumpkins! We have endured freezing temperatures, rain, mud, and wind - but this year, sunny skies and only sweatshirts required!

Kole and Kamden with their pumpkins! Just the right size!

The boys' also got to go to their cousins birthday party - they got to go mini-golfing and bowling. I lost to both of them at bowling! In my defense, they cheat - they get bumpers!!!! I am much better at Wii bowling :)

Check out Kole and "form"

Kamden is a better bowler than me!!! I should demand bumpers!

We went to Disneyland!!!!

Okay, I'm slightly behind... Over two weeks ago, my parents, Denin, and I took the boys to Disneyland - they loved it! We took both boys on Splash Mountain - scared Kam, but Kole loved it! We took Kole on the Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain (scared him - he got a Buzz Lightyear for bravery), the river ride in California Adventure - he loved the roller coasters! Both boys loved the Buzz Lightyear ride in Disneyland, we rode it MANY times, and Toy Story Mania in California Adventure. One of my favorite parts were the Halloween decorations!

We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, and we walked everywhere! The boys were troopers and walked most of it too! We had to give the occasional piggyback and shoulder ride, but they really did great!

Goofy scared Kamden the second day we were there, and ruined him for all characters the rest of the visit! We forced him into some pictures, others are only of Kole! The only character Kam would get by is Lightening McQueen and Mater!

We went to Goofy's kitchen one morning for breakfast - probably not the greatest idea when one of the boys was terrified of the characters, especially Goofy! I thought this was a sweet picture of Kole with a princess!

Kole also started a very strange "defense mechanism..." Any time I would scold him, he would go into this rabbit pose - it was funny at first, but then, not so much! I have no idea the reasoning behind this!

Buzz Lightyear and Woody were definitely the hit for the boys. Both got Woody "dolls," both are going to be Buzz Lightyear for Halloween, and both got blasters to shoot bad guys. Kole and Kam loved carrying them through the parks!It's impossible to tell about everything we did or saw - between me and my dad, I have over 400 pictures in 5 days! So this was just a peek at our Disneyland trip. If you ask Kole what he liked most, it would be swimming at our hotel... Kids - they are so easy to please! My favorite part was getting to see the boys' expressions as they took everything in!

Goal!

Kole has been playing soccer for Clinton City, every Tuesday and Thursay night we have a game, and he loves it! Unlike t-ball, this holds his attention much better, and he is really good at it too (that could be a mom's opinion - but his Grammy thinks so too). At last nights game Kole scored his first goal, 2 of them infact! He was sooooooo excited, we couldn't get him to hold back after the first one. Here is video of him playing last night - although I said he does much better with soccer than t-ball, you will see him skip instead of run to get the ball :)
