Disneyland and SO MUCH MORE

We had a great time in California with the Petersen family. We spent Friday at Disneyland which continues to be my favorite place to be. But, by far the most exciting part of this trip is this...WE ARE GETTING ANOTHER SISTER!!! That's right, Drew proposed to Miss Annie Summers on Thanksgiving Day and she said yes. She is such a blessing to our family and we are so excited to call her sister!!! (the above picture is one of all of the Petersen kids).

The couple. Congratulations, Drew & Annie. We love you both.

More pictures to come later of Aubrey and her first trip to Disneyland. :)

Red Letter Day

This is just a picture of Aubrey with the adorable hat Aunt Megan and Uncle Nate got her when she was first born. :) It finally fits! But this is what marked this day as the red-letter day: I can put a clip in Aubrey's hair and it stays!!! Here is proof.
And, Aubrey's latest feat...crawling over to the bathtub while the water is running to see how many things she can throw in...and which of them float.

Finished with Primary!

John flew his last flight in the T-34 last night. He will begin helicopter training (called, "advanced") in 2-3 weeks hopefully. I just wanted to take a minute to say how proud I am of John.

In the middle of primary he took time off to meet his baby girl, he had knee surgery that knocked him out of training for 4 months, and then got started right back up and finished well. I am very proud. So, thank you for working so hard, Johnny, and congratulations on this big finish. :)

Play Dates

Aubrey had a couple of good friends hang out with her this week. Kristen came over earlier and they once again had a lot to talk about with each other. Aren't these two girls just too cute?

I'm not sure what she was trying to do here but it must have tasted good.

And, Maggie invited Aubrey to go to the playground and ride in the swings (and play in the sand). So fun. I just can't get over how adorable all of these girls are.

Does Aubrey like to swing?

Matt (Maggie's dad) got winged this last Friday so they are off to their new duty station. And, Josh (Kristen's dad) will be getting winged in 3 weeks and then off they will go. We are once again preparing to say goodbye to some very dear friends. But we have been so blessed by their friendship and are so thankful that we got to call Pensacola "home" while they were here.

Our Ladybug

This one is a little scary...she was in the middle of explaining something exciting about the box when I took the picture. Sorry. :)
