So Lets Try Ths Again!

Ok Family! It has been almost a year since anyone has contributed to this blog. I'm rather disappointed in everyone. So lets try once again to stay more connected as a family via this blog. It's super easy to use, so no one can use the excuse that they don't know how to post anything!

Thanksgiving

Peterson's Thanksgiving in St. George


I always love our Family Get Together cuse you never know what to expect...\


Petersons always have the Moves!!! My mom said she would kill me if I put this video up...But it's so worth it!!!





Fun times at the Restaurant


The greatest thing about Uncle Eric, is that he always finds a way to act like a kid!

Intense game of Apples to Apples

Family gatherings are the best!!! Especially when we get the opportunity to entertain guests (Mary and Brennan)

Family Dinner @ the Ott's

Whenever I think about Grandpa's and Grandma's house, I always remember the great times we all had enjoying Grandpa's toys. My favorite has always been the Merry-go-round. Being the beginning of the
Thanksgiving Season, I am so thankful and glad that we (the Peterson clan) still can get together and take a trip back in time and act like kids once again.



Dan, PJ and Hana


















As we all know, are family is just unique and it takes a very special person to fit in....This is why Dan belongs in our family!!!

The Magic Place

I haven't been back to Max and Phyllis' house since it was sold. Not because I don't miss it, but because I don't want to see it changed. And I think the place I'm most concerned about is The Magic Place. To the new owners, it's probably just steps leading nowhere, up a backyard hill in the middle of the high desert. But for me, it is alive with memories of Grandpa working, Grandma whistling, and me waiting for her fried chicken dinner to be ready.

The Magic Place at 35701 wasn't the first Magic Place, or the only Magic Place. Older grandkids remember a set of steps further up the hill, and the Newhall House has secret prints of its own. Of all the treasures Max and Phyllis left behind (besides, perhaps, a certain very important eraser), Cathey's footprints were the most important, moving with the family from Pacoima, to Newhall, to Agua Dulce, and finally for now, to San Diego.

So this Magic Place is just the latest site for Petersons to leave their mark. Send me your email addess, and I will add you as a blog author. Everyone is invited to post a message and share a photo, or if you like, to just sit and see.
