I love this stuff, I'm actually in the middle of a snow storm and this is more fun to me, also a lot less cold. The texture isn't totally accurate, but that's not a surprise, and I love the texture anyways, it's so much fun! My kids love adding the water to it and watching it grow and turn into "snow" I only wish I had gotten it a week earlier for my daughter's birthday party!
Disclaimer, I received this at a great discount for an honest review. I really love it!

Yep, I've had a lot of these lately. Disclaimer, I received this for free in exchange for an honest review. I kind of love this jump rope! It's really easy to adjust side, so it works for my husband or me. It seems really strong and durable, my kids can't even destroy it, which is saying something. I've never been a huge fan, but I'm having fun with this again and it works really well. It will definitely be getting used more.

I received a Baby Sun Shade for free in exchange for a review. I was excited to try this because my 5 yr olds are starting to get bothered with the sun in the back of the car. I was disappointed. The suction cups didn't work well, I feel like the plastic used for them is too hard, especially in the cold and they were way to easy for my 2 year old to pull off the windows. I like how they fold up, but that's about it. They come with 6 suction cups and it says 2 are extras, but to have any hope of holding in on I had to use all of them and it was still very weak.

I got this Fogless mirror for free to test it out, and it does exactly what it says it does, it was completely fogless, I was concerned that they material on the back seemed like it might absorb the water, but no such problems. It's been holding up very well in my shower even after being attacked by my little ones.

Um, Christmas Letter?
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.

Bullet Points
- Tyson started a new job with Red Wing Shoes in June and our family life has greatly improved, if not our bank account
- I'm now almost 13 weeks pregnant with our 4th child and I'm due in February
- Charlotte started walking at 14 months and now at almost 17 she's become quite the handful, she gets into far more trouble than my boys ever did
- The boys just turned 4, we are praying they get into the Windsor preschool right by our house, and so are they, they want to go to school so badly and there is no way we can afford to pay for it
- Tyson's car finally bit the dust this week, not sure what we are going to do there, when this baby comes we will need to replace mind too, I'm praying the Lord has some plan in the works
- We have enjoyed many vacations this summer, probably more than we've ever done before, Memorial day we went to Vegas, what a story that is, June was St. George for my birthday, July brought Flaming Gorge and then Canada, which was so much fun and I'm so glad my kids and my husband got to meet my grandma and other family member's they've never met.
- We will celebrate our 5th anniversary in 2 weeks, I can't believe all that has happened in 5 years, we definitely aren't where I thought we'd be, but we have been very blessed in many aspects of our lives, though I wouldn't turn down a little more income :)

Well, we've survived
We survived the holidays, pretty much everyone was sick, but not so much we couldn't enjoy our visit to my brother's house. We had a fun vacation, the 49er's won and my food tour was so much fun! For the first time I actually really enjoyed Thai food, I also discovered balsamic vinegar, at least the ones we were eating, goes great with vanilla ice cream. The biggest surprise and plus was that despite our lack of income we were still able to pay for almost all of it with cash and we are still going to make it past this month, after that we'll have a tax refund and I'll feel a little better, though there are so many places I could/need to put that.
Tyson is applying for every job on the planet (or at least in Utah and a few outside of it) we'll see how that goes, I just keep praying we'll find "the job" but as has been our luck it's usually just a job to get us by, but at this point I'll happily take that as well. He has a publisher who wants to publish his book under subsidy, so we are trying to figure out how to do that.
Charlotte is getting bigger and learning more everyday, she's such a happy baby and I'm so lucky to be her mother. She loves to be held, unfortunately she prefers I'm standing while doing so and my back isn't a big fan of that. She has 2 full teeth and has 4 actively coming in right now.
Jackson and Jameson both had surgery last week to correct hernia's and hydrocele's. Jameson's hernia was on the left and Jackson's was on the right. They are recovering really well, I wish I recovered as easily as they do. They are still having a few sleeping issues from our lovely ordeal in November, but for the most part are doing well. They loved our trip to Arizona and spending time with their cousins, they keep asking me, almost daily, when we are going back to Arizona. I wish I knew the answer to that one.
I'm keeping busy with the kids, I learned how to quilt this last fall and made blankets for Charlotte and Tyson for Christmas and finally put together a family cookbook. I joined a book club, so at least I'm getting some reading in again that is fun for me. I'm greatly looking forward to life slowing down a bit after the holiday's and being able to have people over for dinner again, that is one of my favorite things to do.
