Connor Takes a Dive

Shelly and Grammy Sue came to town to hang out with us. The Mesa mall has a nice water fountain that Connor got a little too familiar with. It all started out innocent enough, Grammy Sue started splashing Dex then Connor wanted to join. When he bent over to splash Dexton he lost his balance falling in head first and completely submerged in the water. When he finaly popped back out of the water he was startled but more upset that we were laughing after we knew he wasn't going to drown. Shelly tried to calm him down with little success. By the time we got him home he back to his usual playful self. Even though its been months since it happened he still gets defensive when we pass the fountain and playfully remind him not to fall in again.

Family Pics

The whole family came down to phoenix to have the yearly family picture. While we were doing the picture Jaret fell on some granite rocks and got some pretty good cuts on his head and face. He was covered in band aids but he was running around with his cousins 10 minutes later.

After the pictures we all walked over to the zoo and let the kids play around and learn grooming techniques from the baboons.

Don't play with fishing hooks!

This is what happens when you are not looking. Dexton and Connor were practicing casting their fishing poles for the trip to the lake when...ooops. Luckily the hook had just caught his finger barley under the skin and then looped back out. It was more traumatizing then painful.

Dexton's new game

Dexton has been playing video games almost constantly sense we got it. He and Connor like to play Star Wars Lego's on the Wii. I'm not sure if we like it or not, but it definitely keeps them occupied.

Last year at Brian Head

This was by far the coldest skiing trip we have ever experienced. This was Dexton's 2nd or 3rd ski trip and Connor's first. Neither one seemed to mind the cold. Dexton tried to ski a little but they spent almost the whole time tubing. They had the time of their lives, constantly going up and down that little hill. I got to snowboard a little with Shelly and Lance, but it was just too cold to enjoy.

Violet Honey Petersen is named after my Great Grandma Violet Honey, who just turned 103 in July. I couldn't imagine a better roll model for my sweet girl. I am so excited to buy pink things and barbies and all that girly girl stuff. The boys are so good to their baby sister to. I was a little worried about Connor losing his spot but he just loves on her and is so good to help. So is Dexton, I really have some great kids. Even though she is a cryer, they only ask "what's wrong with baby".

This is the Honey Fam at Schnepft Farm in Queen Creek. When we went and watched the Utah Jazz and Suns play. Which the Jazz won.
