Raiders vs. Baylor Bears

On November 29, Texas Tech played Baylor at the Cowboys stadium. It was so much fun! Jerry set up an amazing tailgate that included yummy fajitas and my home made sugar cookies. We had a great time hanging out with friends and watching Tech beat Baylor. Here are some pictures.

Thanksgiving and Turkey Trot

Thanksgiving was a little different this year. This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with Jerry's fam in Austin the day after Haley and Bretton's wedding. It was really nice to see everyone after the wedding. I think everyone could breathe easy knowing that the wedding went perfect. We celebrated Thanksgiving with my family the day before Thanksgiving. We had our get together at Lauren and Dave's house. It's so funny how much our family has expanded in just one year. We had 19 people at our Thanksgiving! This is a huge increase considering last year we just had a maximum 11 people. It's so nice seeing family and spending quality time with everyone.

So by the time Thanksgiving finally arrived, Jerry and I had nothing to do. Believe me... I am not complaining! It is so nice to sit at home and just hang. Lately, me and Jerry have been packing on the lbs....so we decided about a month ago to run the Turkey Trot in Fort Worth. The Turkey Trot is a 5k or 10k race that is in both Fort Worth and Dallas. We did the 5k in Fort Worth. We got up this morning at 6:45 and arrived just in time to park, take pictures of doggies, check in, and take our goodie bags back to the truck. It was perfect timing, I must say- even though Jerry was about to have a heart attack because he thought we were going to miss the race. There were dogs everywhere! I was in heaven! We didn't take Lucy and Rowdy... lets face it... they aren't the best behaved dogs. We ran the race in an even 30 minutes-- 10 minute mile not bad! It felt kind of like we ran a 10k because we had to zig-zag between walkers and baby strollers. It was so much fun! There were people dressed up like turkeys and even a 3 legged dog running the race- talk about overcoming your disability!

When we got home, Jerry made yummy waffles and ever since we been hanging low watching TV, napping, and eating. This is the life! Pretty soon were going to put up Christmas Stuff!!! I've been waiting so long!

Here are some pictures of the race:

Pre-race!


A dad- the chef and his daughter- the turkey! Too cute!




A large poodle. I've never seen a large poodle in my entire life. I've only seen the mini's. Today, I saw 3!


Henry and Mudge dog! I must have one!


This is just a random picture that I like. Please notice the cuteness of Rowdy and Lucy. I was in heaven!


I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving!

Haley and Bretton's Wedding!

Haley and Bretton are officially married! Their wedding was this past weekend in Dripping Springs. It was one of the coolest weddings I've been to. The wedding was outside and looked out on the hill country and the reception was in a redone Ranch house. It was so cool! What I liked most were the little details... like the programs were hung up on a rope--too cute and the purple accents everywhere including party cups that said Haley and Bretton on it. The music during the ceremony was really good too. They played the instrumental version of Sweet Child of mine and had the recessional to the Shrek song.. "Then I saw her face... I'm a beliver." Everyone had a blast and I am so happy for Schulz's. Here are some pictures... these are just the ones off facebook, but I'll add the pictures from the photographers later.

Halloween!!!

This was a great Halloween! Jerry and I had a party at our house and it was a blast! We made is a requirement to wear a costume. We had Count Dracula, Jon and Kate (and their eight babies-by the way it's now 7 because they left one baby at our house), Mario and Luigi, Hermione from Harry Potter, Emo Chick, "Slingin' Sammy B, Braveheart, gansters, a basketball player, a fisherman, a 50's girl, Hunter man, and much much more! Jerry and I decided to be H1-N1. We dressed up as pigs and had H1 and N1 on our shirts. It was a fabulous! We had a wonderful time! I can't wait until next Halloween! Here are some pictures.

Take your dog to the Ballpark Day!

Today was take your dog to the Ballpark Day! Me, Jerry, Alex, Lucy, and Rowdy all went to the game. I'm not going to lie... I was a little nervous about taking the dogs the game. We all know Rowdy is a little...rowdy and Lucy will do anything to get a bite of "people food." I was so proud of our puppies! They did so well! Lucy didn't steal anyone's nachos and Rowdy was calm (for Rowdy.) We had such a great time! We saw so many cute dogs and outfits! The best part was when Lucy and I got be on TV. I asked Lucy, "Would you rather be a dead dog or an Angel?" Lucy rolled over on to her back and acted dead! It was great! Our dogs were so tired when we got home. I think we will definately make this a Peterson Family tradition. Here are some pictures from today.

Lauren and Dave's Wedding!

Lauren and Dave had one of the most fun, amazing, and awesome weddings I have ever been to! Believe me, I have been to a lot of weddings and this is in the top 2! It was in Newport. Me and Jerry flew in with Mimi and Papa Friday afternoon. That night we all went out to eat at a place called Rusty Pelican. It was really good! The next day, me and Jerry walked to the beach and explored some breakfast places. We totally fit in with the locals... haha just kidding. Then me, Lauren, my mom, Heather (Lauren's new sister-in-law--Dave's brother's wife, and Reetha (Lauren's mother-in-law) all went to "Fashion Island" to get our hair done. Next, we went to the boat and got ready. The wedding and reception was on a boat and it was gorgeous! We went up and down the harbor, which was about 4 miles long. Dinner was delicious, dancing was awesome! Here are some pictures.

This is the boat-
