What's the Word?

I bet you are wondering, "What's the word with those Peters' boys?" Well, here is a little update!

Teddy turned 5 month old last Friday and as a celebration, he got his first taste of rice cereal. I was wondering what Mom was mixing up in one of my plastic bowls, so I kept bugging her for some. Well, let me tell you...I don't miss that rice cereal. It tastes like a whole lot of nothing. But, Teddy seems to like it. He wasn't quite sure what to do with it during his first feeding. He let it just sit in his mouth, and then when he smiled, it would leak out the corners of his mouth.

We crammed a lot into two days last weekend (pretty usually for us!). On Saturday, we participated in a family in a fundraising walk to benefit the Children's Craniofacial Association that one of the families we met through Mom's MOPS group was organizing. It was really rainy that morning and we didn't know if it would turn out to be a good day, but it dried up about the time we got there and we had lots of fun. Our team was #3 for total funds raised, so thanks to everyone who supported us!! After the walk, Daddy had to stop by the office to take care of a few things. A quick stop turned into a couple of hours, so I thought I would get some work done too. I made used one of the open offices to make some calls and do some computer work.

On Sunday, we went to see Great-Grandpa and Grandma Young to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. He turned 86 years old on Tuesday. My Grandma Peters was there and brought lots of fun toys for me to play with. We had a yummy lunch and got to relax on one of the most beautiful (unexpectedly!) days at the lake all summer. It was 80 degrees with a nice breeze! Perfect weather for Teddy to play with his toes...a new favorite pasttime of his...

...and for me to pick tomatoes off Grandpa's plants. They were so yummy that I popped them right into my mouth.
Grandpa even let me sit with him up in his new truck. BEEP BEEP!!

Grandma Peterson was gone for the weekend to a Dude Ranch with one of her friends. Teddy was inspired by her trip and thinks he might be a cowboy when he grows up.

Tuesday was also my Grandma Peterson's birthday! We decided to take a trip up to Uncle George and Aunt Lou Lou's house to celebrate it together. Mom, Teddy and I headed up there on Tuesday afternoon. I played with Jenna and Lily (their puppy) for awhile and then we headed to Sarah's soccer game. She is playing JV this year. I like to watch the ball go all over the field. No one would let me go play with it though. I got a really good view of the game from my Uncle George's shoulders.

After the game, we headed back to their house to have some dinner. Jenna and I watched some "Bob the Builder", my favorite show while we waited for everyone to be ready to eat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANDMA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANDMA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR GRANDMA!! We love you Grandma Peterson!!
