Last weekend we had our annual Peatross/Mortensen Christmas party. We had a good time but we missed Brandon and Terrie. Last time we had a party in Duchesne they were both there. So this year was tough. Grandma Nancy gave us all ornaments with Terries picture and a poem on it. We loved it.
The whole gang. I was so glad we took the picture outside. It was much nicer out there. Which made for a much nicer picture.
Brian bought me a shot gun so we went out today to give it a try. We tried shooting clay pigeons first and I was horrible at it. So I was glad when I was able to shoot my first pheasant. It was actually pretty fun. Brady and Paislee went with us. Paislee spent most of her time in the truck. When she was walking she told Brian “I hope you know I’m just doing this for you.”
Krissa found out the other day that she won with her 3D entry for reflections. We are so proud of her!
All the winners. They had 150 entries for the school this year. So they should all be proud that they won.
Paislee was so excited to finally have a lose tooth. So yesterday she was eating apples and wiggling it like crazy. When Brian came home she asked for it to be pulled because she was so excited to have the tooth fairy come. Brian ended up using the pliers to pull it and paislee didn’t even cry. I wanted to cry just knowing my baby is growing up. =(
Krissa entered the reflections contest at her school. The theme was “The magic of a moment”. They could draw something, take a picture of something or do a 3D project. She chose 3d. She found a recipe for homemade clay on the net and went to work. She painted it and everything all on her own. I love her description of her project. It brings tears to my eyes. I love adoption and I love her.
