Fall 2009 & Snow 2009

We had a wonderful visit with Nate, Cindy & the kids on Halloween this year and saw some beautiful fall colors. We also took a drive up to North Carolina during the fall colors!

Yesterday we got about ten inches of snow - something very rare for this area. Brian and I only work about 5 minutes from our home but it took us over an hour to get home. We finally just parked the car and walked the rest of the way home. We are so thankful to be home and praying that we don't lose our power as so many have in the area.

Hope you all are doing well and enjoying the Christmas season! We love you!

Halloween!

So...super late...but thats kinda how we Hatch's roll...so here goes.

Happy Birthday Cindy

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Cindy!!!!!! Happy birthday to you!

For those of you who don't know today is Cindy's 32nd birthday ;) It probably won't be one of her most enjoyable birthdays ever since on Tuesday Cade went to the doctor and came home diagnosed with a double ear infection, tonsillitis, and the early stages of pink eye. Yesterday Kaitlyn went to the doctor and came home with a double ear infection and spent most of the night coughing, tossing & turning, and moaning with a high fever. Sadie is cutting teeth (probably 4-6 at a time like our other kids) and I had to go to work today.

I'll do my best to make it end well but I'm sure a phone call and/or e-mail would be appreciated today ;)

Cindy is doing a great job. Everyone of you who know her would be very proud. The kids are now almost 4, 2 1/2, and 5 months old. They all play very well together and are the happiest three little kids you'll ever meet. Cindy is fantastic wife, mother and friend. I'm sure being home all day cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, coloring, gluing, and listening to dumbo and Dora isn't the most exhilarating way to spend your time but she does it and keeps a very positive attitude. I love you hun!!! Thanks for all you do and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Hello, my family. We need some birthday and address updates so that anyone who wants to look at that page once in a blue moon can have accurate information.

I need, specifically, Sadie's bday, Cade's bday (Sept. 17?), Carrie Tanner's bday, Zach Tanner family address, Peterson's address, and anything else I've forgotten.

Thanks, guys!

Corn maze / hay ride / pumpkin patch

We went to a corn maze / pumpkin patch / hay ride last week. There were little animals to pet, swings, slides, rain, mud, the works. We had a blast and we each got a pumpkin to bring home :) I'd never really experienced an autumn before moving back here, I love em!

Culinary Creations

I love food, and Kathy likes it too.
We're just about to start the holidays, when we spend time with family and friends, the food is abundant, and we have to dig in the closet for those clothes we meant to get rid of, but didn't because deep down inside we knew we would probably need them again.



Nothing Like a pan of rolls, fresh out of the oven. (Grandma Risenmay's recipe)



Kathy's first attempt at an omelet.
Not to shabby................and it tasted pretty dang good too.





Hot cornsticks, just about ready to come out of the oven.

Hello from Brian & Kathy

Hello to everyone and good to see us back on the blogger! Well, where did the summer go? I guess the "newest" news that we have is Brian's promotion at work. We have been enjoying his new work schedule - especially the Friday night high school football games! My alma mater is 5-1 this year! We don't, however, have alot to say about the Vols! Maybe next year - we still enjoy watching the BYU and Oklahoma games. We were able to get away in August to a cabin in the Smokey Mountains. Very peaceful! Bailey and Baxter had a good time too! We are excited about seeing alot of family at Thanksgiving! We hope Mom and Dad Price are able to make it too! We've been blessed with good health so far and wish everybody a speedy recovery! Know that we miss y'all and think of you often! Lots of Love - Brian & Kathy

We're you talkin' to me?

Hey, I blogged just a little bit before the challenge. But it was old news. New news? Clark and I went to Journey last night. It was awesome. Neal Schon is still amazing on the guitar. And Camille "Changed for the Better" is one of their new songs. It was an outdoor concert and when we got to the car we had to turn the air on because it was so hot and humid.... no snow here, but I hear this is supposed to be a much cooler, wetter winter. Zach is now teaching driver's ed. I'm sure he's a better teacher than a driver... JK, Zach... and he and Carrie are the proud parents of Toby the very cute dog. Clark almost to the point of counting days... well, I guess if you ask him he knows exactly how many days. I'm starting to miss him already. He has been such a great help and who will I have to play Rock Band with when he leaves? Jordan has his permit and is getting better each day. I look forward to when he can drive himself ... yep, takin' Clark's place there ... he he. Owen is tearin' it up on the soccer field and also on the dance floor. He's been learning some moves for his concert on Monday. It will be fun to see. Maybe Clark will let us borrow his camera to take pics since ours somehow died... hmmm wonder if there is any incriminating evidence on the camera like ther was on our video camera that broke. Dale's staying busy as a bishop and still loving soccer... a new bruise or battle wound each week, but he loves it! As for me, I'm just enjoying my family. We're looking forward to Thanksgiving. It will be fun to see Kathy again, although I'm not sure I'll recognize her. She looks great! We're hoping for a good outcome of the OU/Miami game this weekend. Hope you poor, poor cougar fans can recover too. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart... kinda

Challenge Accepted!

It's so great to see those adorable little Peterson People. We can't wait for Christmastime! Sadly, we are not doing so great. We've got.... drum roll, please... SWINE FLU! Henry has it complicated with bronchial pneumonia, so he is the most sick by far. Janie is coming in second, Meg is kind of sick sometimes, then better, then sick, and so far Sam is immune.... or he has such a high pain tolerance that he doesn't know he is sick. :) Russ is still healthy and I am too.... we hope it lasts. But things are closing in... Gramma's got that nasty flu, too.

Otherwise, we're plugging along. It just started snowing outside. Yeah... I know. So that's crazy. It has to snow - it's Spud Harvest.

Love to you all!

Camille

WE NEED UPDATES

I challenge everyone in the family to post sometime within the next five days!!! Here is a little slide show of random pictures that I really like from our little family.



We're doing well, staying busy, and the kids are growing like crazy. We're very excited to see Brian & Kathy and the Tanners for Thanksgiving (if not before) and everyone else at Christmas. The weather is perfect back here right now and the leaves are just starting to change colors. Kaitlyn and Cade are both going to preschool/joy schools (ward mothers rotating the teaching) and the LOVE them. Sadie seems to have a perma grin. Cindy is doing a fantastic job with all the kids (everyone should be proud) :) We love you all. Nate

Kodak Moments...

I love this picture of Mom and Dad with me :)

The guy in the background picking his nose makes this priceless ... ha ha

Cousins and Russ... who still looks young enough to be one of them... we're all jealous!

IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE

GO VOLS!!!

Introducing Ruby that has taken Lady's place

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

THE BUS IS COMIN'! THE BUS IS COMIN'!
The bus population DOUBLES when they make this stop!
They are all excited.... even if they don't look it.

OFF and ON

The splint/cast comes officially OFF! Hooray! Henry is sporting a FANTASTIC tan!

The living is easy if you're a little kitten on the porch...

It's been, like, two days without the splint... It's time for some more adventure! How about some staples in Sam's knee! Yeah! That'll be great!

These fine staples came with blood loss, shock, near fainting, and a knee shaped hole in the wall for the low, low price of $250!

And, hey, for extra fun we'll time it so we have to get the staples out while we're in Oklahoma! Wahoo! This is gonna be great - a very memorable summer.... yessiree! Actually we're getting so excited to see all of you guys in Oklahoma. It will be a way fun trip!

Good Times

Although no one can fill his shoes, apparently two children and fill Jason's pants (hee hee).

On our way to the Gold family reunion in West Yellowstone we make the regular stop at our favorite fresh water spring...

Sadly, Meg met a sticky end.

Flying HIGH on the Fourth of July!

Love you guys! Can't wait to be all together in two weeks!
