Let Freedom Ring!

I have a lot to catch up on! 
First of all let me announce that I'm going to be an Aunt again! Travis and Nicole are expecting number 2! Yay! 
 And for the next big item of NEWS: KAITLIN'S GETTING MARRIED!

 We were able to meet the man of her dreams (another Travis) this weekend when we went to Idaho for the 4th of July. We like him, we're gonna keep him. He pretty much rocked. I'm not gonna lie. Tanner was supposed to take their engagement pictures but 30 minutes into the shoot his camera died. So the next day I took them out with my dinkie little digital camera in an attempt to at least get them SOMETHING. These are just a few of the 115 pictures that Kaitlin chose for me to edit. I think they turned out pretty good! It makes it easy when you're shooting 2 gorgeous people who are completely in love!!!!








Here are a few of Tanner's that we were able to save... He always does such a beautiful job. Check out the rest of the photos HERE

The day before we left for Vegas my friend Jana and I got to hang out! She was my very first friend, we got baptized together, and we had out 18th birthday's together. Needless to say we've been friends for a long time. We went to the beach and just talked and talked.


Apparently Parker was lacking in attention and turned into the sand monster once again!



Friday morning we took off for Vegas. It was a way easy drive and Parker was a perfect angel! We got some lunch and stopped in on Jeff and Ange to see their new house and the belly all ready to pop!


We tried to explain to Parker that there was "a baby in there" but he was so confused! He tried to look down her shirt, pull up her shirt- I mean he looked EVERYWHERE! But he could not find the baby! :-)



Cute lil pregnant friend! Can't wait to see the handsome baby boy!


From Vegas we hopped on a plane to Idaho Falls (it takes a lot to get to Blackfoot from Laguna Hills- let me tell you) By this point Parker was over the whole traveling thing but we all enjoyed a peaceful moment while he was looking out the window as the plane took off. Oh! And on the way back home our flight was delayed (sigh) so we didn't get into Vegas until 11pm. BUT, it was EXTRA fun because Parker decided to throw up right after take off. I was in shock. I felt like I was going to burst into tears but instead I was laughing uncontrollably! Good thing we were in the back of the plane. We didn't get home until 4am. FYI- My husband deserves some sort of award. He's the man. I dont know what I would have done without him.


When we finally got to Grammy and Papa's house we were all so excited! Travis, Nicole, and Kaydence were there to greet us and, boy, did the kids hit it off! Kaydence pretty much followed "Paw-Kar" around the entire weekend. Check out more at Nicole's Blog. They were pretty dang cute together- best cousins FOEVER! :-)



Here's my lil sis Kaitlin all engaged and stuff. Can't wait for August!


Ummm, has anyone seen Kassidy? Hello! She's amazingly beautiful! I can't even stand it! I could just stare at her all day! AND she's an absolutely amazing dancer and she's in all honor's classes at school and she just rocks! I love you Kass!!!!


Best Father in Law in the world. I love this guy!

It's impossible to get a picture of these 2 both smiling and looking at the camera! Here they are all ready for church. They went to the nursery together but Parker wouldn't let Papa leave. Kaydence was a champ!


Ready for church!


He's pretty much a stud


Best mother in law EVER! I love her so much! She's is such a sweetheart and definitely makes our family over flow with love.


Check out our cool 4th of July shirts! Josi made them- actually she made about 25 of them for the whole Bullock family. My entire family went to Utah for the 4th and stayed in Sundance but we wanted to meet our new brother so we opted for Idaho! THIS is what we missed in Utah...


I think Tanner and Travis flew airplanes every day. They were in Heaven!


Auntie Channie and baby Kaydence





They were often spotted with otter pops...

Giving Kisses


Parker could never stay awake long enough for it to get dark and to do fire works so we did them the morning that we left...


He wasn't too sure about all the noise and smoke..


He felt much better about things when he was inside enjoying them from the window.


I miss my Peterson family so much already but I can't wait for another reunion in August! This weekend was so fun, relaxing, and refreshing. It always goes way too fast! I'm so blessed that I met Tanner and was brought into such an amazing family. I love you all so much and I love the new Travis, too!!!! :-)

I can't get over how gorgeous those pictures are, I LOVE THEM! Now I desperately want you to take some fun new pictures of us (to put a new header on our blog). You really did such a great job and of course Tanner's turned out absolutely amazing too! It was so fun getting to see you guys, I could just lay out and talk to you forever (I did end up getting a little bit of a tan but I have a long ways to come to even touch your hot tan)! I love all the pictures, Kaydence wants to look at all the pictures of Paw-Kar over and over again and points to him saying his name, she already misses her cousin, her auntie Chan, and uncle Tanner! I really love getting to see you guys, you guys are the best! Way fun and its great that we won't have to wait as long for the next time we get to see you!
