Angels in the Out Field

Aaaaah, the memories...
Me and Mel...so glad you were there!

There he is...A-Rod himself, Oh wait it's Travis...hard to tell the difference!

My new friend Nicole...Love her!

So last Tuesday our softball season ended. I made it! I, Margie Virginia Peterson was on an athletic team. I have to say, there were a few times that my bat actually connected with the ball! However, there are also a few times that my bat did not connect with the ball. I don't think I ever caught the ball at any time all season, but I did have some fun moments. I met a new friend (Nicole!), and got to hang out with my old friend (Melanie!). I don't think I will be playing on a team again due to my uncoordination, lack of throwing ability, lack of catching ability and unfailing need to pee everytime I run (thank you Lincoln!). That about covers it. I'm pretty sure nobody will be disapointed by that. However, I do think the right field at Barnes park just might miss me. The unfortunate thing is that occasionally a ball does come flying into right field. Luckily, I will no longer be there to miss it. Thanks for the memories! Maybe I will talk Travis into taking ballroom dancing lessons or something......maybe not.

Photo Shoot with Sweet {Yesterdays} Photography

Last week we had a little photo shoot with Annie West ( sweetyesterdaysphotography.blogspot.com). She did such a great job! We could not be more happy with our pictures. She is so CREATIVE and FUN! I loved all the pictures, it is so hard to choose. Thank you so much, Annie, you are so TALENTED!

Happy Birthday Lincoln!

Where did that year go?! I can't believe Lincoln is already one! He's such a big boy now, what happened to my little baby? He's walking, and getting into everything. He's also so much fun and has a ton of personality. Happy birthday little boy!

Time for an update!

So it's been awhile since I've posted. I really don't have a good excuse, just haven't felt like it I guess! We have had a busy month. Here's what we have been up to...

1. I entered Lincoln in a baby contest and Diaper Derby at the Davis County Fair. Lincoln looked so cute, but for some crazy reason the judges didn't pick him! Hello, did they not SEE his head band! This is him with the judges before the contest. I thought we would try to do a little sucking up before it started, however, Lincoln was not going along with the game plan as you can see! He also raced in the Diaper Derby, which was hilarious! I had my sweet mom record it, however she pushed pause rather than record button, so we have great footage of before and after the race! Lincoln won the first round (with the help of a bag of fruit snacks), but didn't quite make it in the second round. He was just to distracted by all of the people at the fair!

2. We went to a Wells Fargo recognition carnival. Lincoln had his first try of cotton candy and snow cones, Yummy! Travis and I climbed the climbing wall. Travis didn't take a picture of me, probably because I dominated it (he gets a little jealous). I hate when that happens!

3. We went and saw Brian Regan at Thanksgiving Point. He was absolutely hilarious! Travis and I were laughing so hard I thought I was going to wet myself, really. If you haven't seen him, check him out... So funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxe0uO2Dpuc

4. Travis and I joined a softball team. I know, those of you who know me are probably asking yourselves right now, "but Margie, you have never done anything athletic in your life." This is still true, however, I could not resist Travis' puppy dog eyes when he asked me to be on their team. He obviously did not know what he was getting into. So, we had our first game last Tuesday, and we had been to the batting cages, and practiced throwing and catching. Travis even bought me my own mitt so that I could feel official. I was feeling pretty good about myself considering all of the practicing we had done. However, when we got to the game I realized they were not playing the same game that we had been practicing all week. No sir. This was a little more intense than I had expected, and I realized that I still did not know how to catch and throw. To make a long story short I stayed in right field and thankfully the ball did not come to me. Does anybody remember the Pizza Hut commercial about right field from the original Ninja Turtles movie? Didn't think so, OK. Well, here it is. It's pretty much me without the sweet catch at the end. http://www.imeem.com/isilweth/video/A2zkpxEE/pizza_hut_right_field_commercial_from_teenage_mutant_ninja/ We have another game tonight, so I will let you know how it goes. Please pray that the ball doesn't come to me. Thanks.

Sketches

So I've started another little blog with my pencil sketches. There is a link to it on the right. If anyone has any comments or suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks for checking it out!

Ok, so I've seen this on so many blogs and had decided I didn't want to do it, but it is so fun to think about all of the memories I have had with so many of you. So I am putting it, but don't feel any pressure to leave one!

1. Add a comment of a memory you have of the 2 of us together...it can be a recent memory or a memory of way back

2. Add these instructions to your own blog and wait for the memories to roll in!

I'm still here!

I can't believe how fast the summer months go! I have know idea what even happened to June. We have been busy with a lot of little things. I finished my nannying job at the end of last month, and will be starting a new job on Saturday working at The Hidden Closet. It is a little clothing store in Fruit Hieghts. I will be working 3 Saturdays a month. So you know, pretty sure I can handle that. Here's some pics of what we have been doing since the last post.

Lincoln and Uncle Nate went rafting in my mom's family room. They had a great time. I was just a little bit worried that Lincoln didn't have a life jacket on, but luckily nobody fell out of the boat. Nate was a great captain.

We went to Lagoon. When was the last time you went to Lagoon? It had been about 4 years for me. It was a lot of fun. We went with our friends Jayson and Andrea Steed. Travis dominated the game tables. Just ask him!

Check out that form!

Aaaah, success!

Lincoln and Bosco became partners in crime. I am now chasing both of them all around the house. They are very mischevious.

I've been painting my house. I decided I couldn't look at this red wall for one more second, and therefore needed to repaint everything. Thanks for being so patient Travis!

It's amazing what a coat of paint can do. I feel like the air is more fresh in my house now! I can definitly breath easier!

We celebrated the 4th! Who doesn't love the Kaysville parade?

Thanks for checking up on us!
