a big day


I am so excited for tomorrow! It's going to be a big day! My mom is going to take McKenna and me to the zoo and then I have a big exciting Dr.s' appointment at 3 o'clock! Then I'm going to follow that up with the some of the last little bit of my homework for my Bio class.



Can it be 3 o'clock already?!

stupid school!

Holy smokes I am so sick of school! I don't like the fact that I hate going to school (uh, when I do go to school that is). I miss the feeling of loving to go to school and not procrastinating to do my homework and even being slightly excited to do homework. I've been going to school since last Spring semester with no brake. I know wah wah wah. Why didn't I finish college after high school?! WHY????!!!!! I did not do well at all this semester. I dropped one of my easy online classes early on because I never remembered to post my assignments or do the necessary responses. I might squeek out a "C" in my Bio class. My hopes are not high for my Chemistry class though. Apparently that is a class that you really should attend in order to retain some of the information that you don't already know. Go figure. As for my 2 fitness class....I don't know. Only time will tell. Gotta be honest, I don't really care. There I said it. I'm going to take at least this Summer and Fall semesters off and I could not be happier! =)  GO BRUINS!!!

oh yeah...i forgot

I forgot I was going to start being a better blogger. So maybe I'll just give ya a light weight update of what happened the last little while with us.

*Disneyland was a HUGE success again! I decided I would tell McKenna the day before we left and I kinda wish I would have just waited cause sheesh! Girl was uber excited (I was too, but I didn't voice it as well or as much as she did). After the third day all three of us were done! It was so nice to know that we had time to do what we wanted and not feel rushed since we had only been 4 months ago. I thought up until about a week ago that I would be more then fine with not going back to Disneyland for at least 2 or 3 years. I changed my mind. I wanna go again! Stinkin Disneyland! After we got back Kenna was all about packing her bags for the next time we go, even though I repeatedly told her it wouldn't be for at least 3 years. She didn't care. Luckily, she's not really into that anymore. =)



* Kenna is so excited to start Kindergarten! She LOVES school! She loves to color and draw and she actually is pretty dang good if I do say so myself. =) I am struggling with this stinkin semester. BLAH! I just want it to be done already I am so overly burnt out and I am looking forward to taking the next 2 semesters off! Since this semester is almost done, that means Kenna only has 3 weeks left of "paycare". She always complains and says she doesn't want to go, but I know that she loves it. She has lots of cute little friends, she learns a lot (i.e. sign language and a little french), she get to "do work", and as it warms up she gets to go and play in Nedege's (her paycare provider) backyard. I am so looking forward to Summer and getting the pool up and getting way more sun the I probably should. I'm also wanting to start up a little etsy account for the cute little hair accessories that I enjoy making.




* This past weekend we got to go down to the Ephraim/Manti area with our friends the Hafoka's to visit Shelli's cute little sister Tiff, who is graduating from college in about 3 weeks! (Why did I not freakin finish school when I should have! BAH!) We had a lot of fun we stayed the night in an old Little motel in Manti. It snowed while we were there. We got to walk around the Manti temple with kids and they got to see a princess that was getting married. Kenna thought she looked like Giselle from Enchanted. So she was dubbed "Giselle". On the way home we dropped of Mckenna to spend her first unsupervised sleepover with her dad because his birthday in the 11th. He loved it. I hated it. I missed her so crazy bad! =( I am so happy to have my baby girl home and I'm glad that he took very good care of her.








* I'm hoping we can take at least a couple of fun little vacations in the next little while. We're planning a little Peterson family trip down to St. George for a couple of days within the next month or so. I hope we can spend a day in Vegas. I haven't been there forever and I think Kenna would love to see it. I'm hoping we'll be able to make it up to Oregon again this year. We LOVE it up there!!! I would also like to try and make our way over to Yellow Stone.









* So this April 11th would have marked my Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's 60th wedding anniversary. Ten years ago for their 50th anniversary they took the whole family to stay at a beach house in Cannon Beach, Oregon, I have so many fond memories from that trip! I cannot believe that my sweet little grandma has been gone for a little over a year now. Every now and then when I'm over cleaning my grandpa's house I'll see something out of the corner of my eye or smell something that reminds me of her and I lose it. I am so grateful that I get the opportunity for Kenna and myself to go eat lunch and spend some time with my cute little grandpa once a week. He is sooo cute with her and he tries sooo hard to stay awake when they watch movies together. Maybe if they weren't all princess themed movies he'd be able to stay awake a little longer.


 Well I think that's about it. I'll try and blog more frequently!

oh me oh my

Well, it has been a while since I updated my blog! So I guess I'll just give ya a little update:
-We went to Disneyland the beginning of November and had SO MUCH FUN! My mom and dad, my cute little grandpa and myself had such a good time watching Kenna take it all in. =) It was a short 2 1/2 day trip with 2 days in the parks. Since it was so short, my mom and I figured we should take McKenna again the beginning of March! I'm so excited to surprise Kenna again!
- We had a Happy Halloween! Kenna was Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon. It was the first year I didn't make her costume. Kenna got A LOT of candy!
-We were thankful for Thanksgiving. The food was great!
-Christmas was wonderful! Kenna got all the things she asked for. Santa scaled back quite a bit this year because Kenna really didn't need anything. Christmas was definitely different with out my sweet grandma.
-We had a chill New Years Eve at home and just lit sparklers, played games and banged pots and pans.
-I started yet another semester of school...blah!
-My brother officially moved out, which means McKenna got her very own room! She LOVES it! She thinks she's "the business".
-Kenna got registered for "watergarden" (kindergarten) and I cant help but wonder where the last almost 5 years have gone!
Well, those are the bigger things that have happened since I last posted. =)
I'll try and be better about posting...promise!

just a little update

I can NOT believe how fast this freakin year is goin by! I am more than ready for this semester to be over already! Bah I've never been more unmotivated in my life and I'm hoping I don't feel the same way next semester. I may or may not be getting a job at Kohl's doing ad set. I did this about 3 years ago, it's easy and the hours aren't bad. I've gone a few dates here and there and we'll just have to see how things go. =) Other than that there's nothing too new with me.
Kenna is loving school, at least one of is. She recently learned how to float in a swimming pool. She is so excited for Halloween! She's going to be Astrid from How To Train Your Dragon... I'll post pictures later. I can't believe how tall she's getting and how smart she is. It makes me kinda sad and a little baby hungry, but not that hungry!



I am so excited to be surprising McKenna with a trip to Disneyland in 12 days!!! She is gonna be the happiest girl that ever was! We're flying into Long Beach on November 9th early in the morning and we'll hit up the park that day and the 10th and then come home on the 11th. I am so looking forward to seeing her reactions to things in the park. I myself haven't been to Disneyland in over 13 years. We're lucky to have my mom, dad and grandpa coming with us! It's gonna be fun!
