Thanks!

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers for us the past few weeks. I am doing really good and the surgery went well. I didn't have any pain this time around. We were very sad about this little lose, but we will just keep trying. Thanks again to my awesome family for all of the help they gave us. We love you all.

Halloween Party!

Last Friday Matt and I went to a Halloween Party at Rosalyn and Braden's house. We pigged out on lots of junk food and played a bunch of games. It was a lot of fun to get out to a party. Here's a few pictures of some of us that were there.

Thriller

October 15th was Matt and I's 7th Anniversary. We went out that night to Thriller and to Red Lobster. My cousins Dan, Amber and Felicia came down from Idaho and went out with us that night. We had such a great time. I can't believe we have been married that long. Crazy!!


Felicia was scared of the zombies!

My Broken Heart

This past week has been a very sad one for us. We were planning on surprising our families on Allie's Birthday in a few weeks that we were expecting. A few days ago I started spotting and to my greatest fear I found out I was miscarrying. I had been to the doctor twice before for ultrasounds and had seen the heartbeat both times. This last time was different. No heartbeat. I was completly heartbroken. We were so excited for our growing family, but its not going to happen right now. I am going in this morning for a D&C. This will be my 2nd time getting one. I had one other miscarriage before Allie. I have had so much support from my family and my friends. They have made it all better. I just want to thank those who have helped me and prayed for us at this time. When I am feeling better, I will post pictures from our Anniversary and the pumpkin patch from last weekend.

Danny's Blessing

Yesterday we went to my nephew Danny's Blessing. He is such a sweet little guy and it was awesome to see my brother give his first son a name and a blessing. His name is Daniel Ray Peterson. Jackie's dad's name is Daniel and my dad's name was Ray, so he was named after both his grandpas. It was such a wonderful day.

Lately

Now that summer is ending, life is slowing down a little. We have still been pretty busy on the weekends, but life is more relaxing now. A few weeks ago Allie and I went to Park City with Lisa and Renee and the kiddos to shop while the weather was still good. I started babysitting a little guy everyday so it was the last time for me to get away with just Allie for the day. I am babysitting for a family friends sister. She has 4 boys, and they are angels! They live in Springville and I go to their house in the morning to get the 3 older boys off to school, then I bring the little one home with me for the day. His name is Gage and he is such a good kid. I also babysit our friends Jeremy and Jackie's little guy Gavin a few days a week. It's been really nice for Allie to have some kids to play with, and I actually get a lot of stuff done around the house.

Now that Fall is here, college football has started. Now, for those of you who know me, know that I HATE this time of year. I hate that Matt is gone every weekend watching the games. I like to spend time with him and football gets in the way! I really do love playing football and going to the games, but I hate watching it on TV. Well, last weekend Matt's parents had an extra ticket to the game so I got to go with Matt. It was a lot of fun. BYU played horrible and they didn't deserve to win, but some how they pulled it off. It was just fun to be there and to visit with my nieces. Amanda was in town from California and Ciara was also there. So it was fun to catch up.

We've got a few fun things coming up. Next week is our Anniversary and we are going to go to Thriller with my cousins. Allie's birthday is in a month also, so we have a few fun things to look forward to including the holidays!
