It's been awhile...

So it's been awhile since I posted last and I thought it was time for a little update. First of all, I'm pretty sure that we skipped November because I don't remember any of it. Here is my list of things that I do remember from the last month or so...





*HALLOWEEN!! Lincoln is an elephant. If that doesn't make you melt, I don't know what will. Seriously.













*Here is a sad thing. We gave Bosco to another family. I didn't want to blog about this because it makes me teary. It was just getting to hard, and we couldn't give him the attention that he needs. So, my sweet neighbor found the best home for him. Really, he couldn't have gone to a better family. Thanks Jennifer! We miss you Bosco!


*We had a lovely Thanksgiving. It was at the Peterson household this year. Lot's of great food and memories. Gotta love those memories. Side note: Do not ask the Peterson boys what they are thankful for. It is inappropriate to write and slightly offensive! But seriously, I really do have SO much to be thankful for.









*I waited in line at RC Willey's by myself for 3 hours in the rain the day after Thanksgiving. It was death. Not to mention cold. However, the good news is that we got new couches and a bedroom set!



*Some little boy tried to beat up Lincoln in the mall. It's true. We were at the little play area and some little kid came up to Lincoln and grabbed his cheeks (they are chubby) and clawed him across the face. Poor little Lincoln had a scrape/cut across his cheek. I was furious. I didn't realize how protective I am. Do NOT mess with my BABY! That's all I have to say about it.



*Travis is on his LAST week of school!!! He really has worked so hard. I can't believe he is going to be done. He keeps saying that as soon as he graduates he is going to run around naked all day. I think he is joking, but just in case I will keep the blinds closed ;). Thanks for all of your hard work, I love you!


*I beat my sister in law in an arm wrestle. Yes Jenny, I am really blogging about this. It was my shining moment with Travis' family. I think they all think that I am shy and quiet. Boy do I have them fooled! So....if anyone would like to lose in an arm wrestle, feel free to give me a call! :)

Well, that's all I can remember tonight. I will let send out an update if I can think of anymore riveting moments in my life!

He is the cutest elephant in the entire world. I love it. So sad about Bosco. I'm sorry. I'm sure he will be loved. I can't wait to see the new furniture in person. It looks great! See you soon for our play date and Christmas get together. Can't wait.

Margie I'm sorry you had to find a new home for Bosco that is a REALLY hard thing to do.. I wish I would have known... Chester(our weiner dog) could have used a friend... Did your hubby go to Wal-mart the morning after Thanksgiving? I thought I saw him and I was going to go say 'Hi' but then I realized he doesn't know who I am and would think I was crazy... ha ha CRAZY!!!

Your house is so cute! And of course, your baby is absolutely adorable! I loved the elephant!

You brave woman, black friday is indeed black. That's neat you got a couch set. My parents almost talked me into going to RC Willeys on Black Friday to get the Ipod deal they had. I'm glad I didn't, no offense. (We did do Kohls, and I attempted walmart, I went home after that, people are scary)

Marg,I'm glad you updated so I could laugh. I love your tone of voice in all your posts...I feel like I'm talking to you. Sad to hear about Bosco, but you do what ya gotta do. Do you remember beating me in an arm wrestle? but thats not much to brag about.

Lincoln is oh so cute! I saw that Shannon Hale books are some of your favorite things. She happens to be in my ward, and I just found that she is a writer, but I had no idea how popular she is. Crazy! Maybe I'll have to pick up one of her books.

oh my Margie, I am practically tearing up for you because of bosco. Your little elephant is darling.

I don't think T is kidding about the naked thing. I believe he would do it. As for the arm wrestling thing, that is for sure my favorite memory of you from this moment on. I am not exaggerating. I wish Brock could have seen it. You were so hilarious! I really didn't know you had that in you. I saw a whole new side to Margie Peterson that night and I don't think I will ever look at you the same again. I am very jealous of your totally buff arms. Maybe someday I will take a chance and try to arm wrestle you. I'll just have to hit the gym for a month or two first!
