Jesse - Brooke - Reese - Roxie - Aniston - Torah

We were pretty lucky this year to be able to spend as much time as we did with our families. Between Christmas, Reese's Birthday and New Years. New Years eve we spent with my family. We went to dinner and then went back to my Mom and Dad's house and played Beatles Rock Band. The best was watching Logan rock it out on the drums. The kids played and had a great time. We had to cut out kinda early because we had to be up by about 4 the next morning. We spent New Years Day skiing in Sun Valley with Jesse's family. We drove up that morning had a great breakfast and then headed up to the hill. It was fun to ski with everyone again. It had been a pretty long time since we all got to ski together. We had great snow all day. We missed having Reese with us and can't wait til she is able to ski with us. Beautiful Sun Valley Jesse at the top of Roundhouse Lane. Last run of the day! On the Gondola The new Gondolas at Sun Valley are so nice! Getting ready to head home. Ace and Jyl...

Reese's first Christmas was great. She had alot of fun opening her presents and playing with all of her new toys. We started the day off pretty early so we could make sure we were out at Jesse's parents house in time to call Andrew. It was nice to talk to Andrew and he sounded really good. We then opened presents and ate breakfast. Then we were off to our next stop. We needed to be at my parents house by 11:00am so we could talk to Chase when he called. So while we waited we opened presents and Reese played in her new Red Mustang she got from Grandpa and Grandma Peterson! She looks pretty stinkin cute in it. She can't quiet reach the petals yet but she like to push the buttons for the radio and horn for now. We waited and waited for Chase to call and finally at 2:00 ish he FINALLY called. It was so nice to talk to him and he sounded so good. We are so excited to be able to have him home for Christmas next year! After we talked to Chase and hung out for a bit we hea...

A couple weeks ago Jesse and I went to Sun Valley to Ski. We went down the night before and stayed at the Sun Valley Lodge. It was so nice to get away, have a nice dinner at Ricos and sit in the Hot Pool. Reese stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa Peterson. They loved having her! This was the little pond out front of Sun Valley Lodge. Jesse and I had a Great day skiing. In the morning we had some sunshine and then in the afternoon we had fresh show! Can't beat that! It was nice to ride the new Gondola that they just put in. Makes that first ride up in the morning not so bad. In the picture above to the left you can see the cut in the trees where the Gondola goes up. We skied alot of vertical and were beat by the time we left. Here is our little cutie pie Reese. We can't wait for her to be able to come skiing with us! That is the one thing that was missing from our weekend. It will be so fun to teach her how to ski and watch her progress! Watch out it won't be long! Ha Ha

These are some very beautiful pictures of Reese that Lincoln took for us a couple weeks ago. Thanks Linc!! Well it has been a while since I have given a real update of what has been going on with us. I feel like I just report on what Reese is doing all the time (to me that is what is important), but I will give a quick run down about how we have been doing. Jesse started a new career last March. He is working for Edward Jones as a Financial Advisor and is loving it! For the first couple months after he started with them he studied for two extremely hard tests. One being the Series 7 which he studied for, for about 2 full months. He has been working extremely hard and is really doing great (as far as Edward Jones standards). I am still working at Gate City Real Estate in the office. I only work part time so it is a nice break to get out of the house but I get to spend most of my days with Reese. While I am at work Jesse's Grandma, Mom and Sister have been so great to watch her fo...
