Halloween, Birthdays, and a New Little Nephew!

For Halloween this year Kyle was a referee and I chose to use my large stomach as an advantage and just be a magic 8 ball...

This is Amanda (a.k.a. Brittney the Chipette) and her cute boyfriend Dustin the jail bird

A couple of chipmunks. Brittney and Alvin!

And don't forget the holiday EVERYONE'S been waiting for! Katie and Amanda's 23rd birthday!

They chose a "Phineas and Ferb" themed birthday party so I made them some sweet cakes to go with it!

And last but not least, our cute little nephew Tate was born Dec. 3rd! Isn't he the cutest little guy? Congrats to Todd and Jena!

I'm a Terrible Blogger.

I am the worst blogger EVER!

I tend to rely on pictures to tell our story, but i've slacked in that department as well...dang it. So for now, you'll just have to deal with my awful creative writing skills.

Things are busy but great! Kyle has been super swamped with football and school. He's taking some pretty tough classes this year (for example: Micro Biology and Organic Chemistry. ew.). But he's dang smart and pretty good looking, so he should do just fine :)

The cake business has been fairly slow this month, which I'm actually grateful for because this pregnancy makes me so dang tired! Work at A.T.E.C. is great, I love it. I seriously couldn't ask for a better job. I love my co-workers and my clients are amazing. It's a very entertaining job, to say the least. I can't even think about quitting in March, it makes me so sad. But man oh man are we excited for this baby! I'm 22 weeks along and feel him kick more and more every day. My first trimester was pretty crappy, I was sick A LOT. This second trimester has been better. I have way more energy and I don't throw up quite as much :P But this cute kid will be worth it, right? We can't wait!

So that's life as of late. Without pictures :( sorry

I'm working on it!

Drum Roll Please . . .

And we couldn't be more excited!!!!!!!

Hey, what are your plans for St. Patrick's Day?

Cause we're havin' a BABY!!!

California Trip and Happy Birthday to Nat!

Every summer we stay in a condo by the beach in Oceanside, California. It's a blast and we look forward to it every year! This year we went to a Dodgers game. They lost. But that's ok. We still love 'em!

Kyle LOVES the Dodgers. Can you tell?

My dad's brother, Uncle Rudy, and his wife stopped by for a visit. It was so great to see them, it's been years!

Our beautiful, adorable, stinkin' cute niece, Ella.

We had so much fun! We're counting down the days till next summer.

And then I had a birthday and a cute post about how fun my clients were at work, but someone with a stick up their butt saw the pictures and told my boss about them, so now they're deleted.

Cool.

When I got home, Kyle had these roses waiting for me...awwww

And he got me a new cartridge for my Cricut Cake Machine that I've always wanted! Yes!

Then we went out to dinner and he surprised me with reservations at Color Me Mine. We made the COOLEST cookie jar. Probably the coolest in the entire world. It was THE BEST birthday! Woohoo!

Weddings, Men in Skirts, and Bowling! Does Life Get Any Better? Nope.

My Sheri got married in June! She looked absolutely beautiful and we're so dang happy for her :) You're a lucky man, Ty!

The beautiful Jaklyn and Whit. Oh. And Cam.

She looked gorgeous! Even when she was elbowing her nephew

For the 4th I made some festive chocolate dipped strawberries! Woo!

Last week, Kyle experienced the Scottish Festival in Payson for the first time! It was so much fun. We spent a lot of the time watching the athletic competitions. Kyle's favorite was the caber toss, where a guy actually holds onto a giant tree log and throws it! Oh how I love Scottish Days...

Mom and Ron met us up there

This is "Doc Hollywood". The picture says it all.

The first video is of the caber toss! The giant log weighs 85 lbs 17.5 feet long and they have to throw it, flip it, and have it land perfectly vertical.

The second video is Jeff, the champion of the world! This iron ball thing weighs 42 lbs. The announcer said it was like holding 6 gallons of milk in one hand.

We took Katie and Amanda bowling the other day. It was a blast! Except that I tried my best and Katie still beat me. Yes, yes we both had bumpers. Bowling's not my thing. But kyle scored 192!

Kate gets a little grumpy when she doesn't get ALL of the pins down. Kyle's trying to give her a pep talk.

"*sigh* oh well, I still beat my sister"

Lake Powell 2010!

Kyle has defined Lake Powell as his own "Celestial Kingdom". If he was given the choice between a month in Lake Powell and a month in Europe....he would chose Lake Powell. So it's easy to say, he loves it. For the most part the weather was beautiful! Except for the last day....

It was SO windy that we couldn't dock our houseboat! We had to spend an extra day there, which sounds fun, but it's not when dust and wind are blowing in your eyes! It was crazy, but everyone survived :)

We hiked up to some old Indian ruins with Kyle's brother, Todd, and his two girls.

Uncle Kyle hiked all the way up and down

with baby Cyd on his shoulders!

Too cute.

Can't wait for next year!

Its been a year already?! Seriously?

One year ago today we were married in the Timpanogas Temple! Woohoo! Happy Anniversary Kyle-Man, marriage rocks.

My Cake Man

I need to give a shout out to my wonderful husband! He is the best partner to have in our little cake business. He runs to the store for cake emergencies, washes my dishes, and carries these HEAVY cakes up and downs stairs for me. He's also my designated delivery man and he rocks at it. He's the man.

Our most recent cake delivery was at a HUGE mansion in Orem. The reception was held in their sports room, which happened to have a jacket and a picture signed by THE Michael Jordan. Kyle's hero. He was SO excited, so we had to snap a few shots.

The cake made it there in one piece. Mission accomplished!

"This was the best cake delivery we've ever done...I almost expect Michael Jordan to come walking around the corner!" -Kyle Peterson

Thanks for all you do Kyle Man! You're the best and I loooooooove you!

SLC + broken car = General Conference Weekend! yay!

It all started out so innocent . . . a nice session at the Saturday morning General Conference.

Kyle and I try to make it to at least one session of conference. It's a pretty entertaining tradition. We never get tickets in advanced, and when we get to Salt Lake, Kyle wonders the streets asking people for extra tickets while I sit and chat with the sister missionaries. It's a good time.

We ran into Karly, Kyle's twins sister, and her cute friend from Uganda!

..... AND THEN IT HAPPENED

Our car wouldn't start :(

After a loooooong day of trying to get someone to tow us home, Boots (our car) eventually started after the third person jumped our battery.

As you can see, it was all very frustrating.

But we made it home! And the happy thing is, the fix only cost us $30! woohoo!

And they lived happily ever after.
