I've gotten really bad at updating this thing, I guess my New Years Resolution will be to do better, in short, here is the yearly update
Tyson is still working for Red Wing shoes, and it's the most stable I think we've been since we had the boys, they really like him and we hope there is some room for growth there. He's doing a little sports writing on the side for the Sugarhouse City Journal, and is a Sunday School teacher at church, this seems to be his most common calling, it happens a lot! He also enjoys singing in the ward choir.
I'm staying at home with the kids, for all but 5 hours a week, when I help my parents out with paperwork at the shop. I had baby number 4 on Feb 1 and the insane woman that I am thought, hey I should have a Superbowl party in my recovery room (I have C-sections).It was a lot of fun, with tons of food and a good game, that I mostly slept through. In June we went up to Oregon for my birthday and visited with a lot of friends in Portland and Coquille, and I got to go crab fishing, it was awesome! In fall I started taking a pottery class and being a room mom at the boys elementary school. After that it was surviving the holidays.
Jackson and Jameson finished up preschool at Windsor Elementary and started Kindergarten and Timpanogos Academy this fall. They love school. Jameson is very smart, but he's not so fond of the work, he had repeatedly tried to talk his teacher out of homework, and has "forgotten" to bring his homework home a few times, lucky him, he's a twin and his brother has one I can copy! They both did T-ball in June and July and loved having their grandparents come and watch them. We took them to Disneyland in October and they gave me the pleasure of these phrases, "You destroyed my life by taking me to Disneyland!" "Do we have to go again tomorrow?" and when asked to make a wish by a castmember, "I wish to go home!" and as we were leaving, "my wish came true!" Most of these from Jameson, if you can't tell this one's got spunk! Jackson wasn't happy about it either, but seems a little more go with the flow in just about everything but sports which he loves like mad. He got to go to a few BYU football games this year and he was in heaven.
Charlotte is my little princess, well mostly, she does love all things princess. She's got enough spunk to fill an olympic size swimming pool, especially if you add in all the water she's used attempting to flood our house a few times. She's so smart and has been talking up a storm for well over a year now. She was potty trained before we went to Disneyland, but has decided that's not really important to her anymore, well at least I was down to 1 in diapers for a few months. She's incredibly sweet though and knows when mommy needs a hug and loves to cuddle. She loves attention and is capable of doing whatever is necessary to get it. She misses "her boys" when they are at school and can't wait to pick them up every day.
Last February we added kid #4, Margaret Julia Barbara Peterson, better known as Maggie. We got to go to Arizona in April for her baby blessing, we combined it with my nephew Mikey and invaded my brothers house with about 30 people for several days. Maggie is tiny (11 months and around 13 lbs, her 3-6 months pants are still pretty big on her), but that doesn't stop her from anything, she's crawling all over the place and just the happiest baby. She loves mom and dad, but if we are gone and she can't see us she's fairly content with most people. All her siblings just adore her, usually a little too much for her comfort. She's a wonderful if not completely bald addition to our family.
It's been a busy, crazy year for us and I'm looking foward to seeing what 2016 has in store for us.
Merry Belated Christmas and New Year, we hope 2016 has plenty of good in store for you as well.
Tyson, Sherri, Jameson, Jackson, Charlotte, Maggie
