Stampede!

Taming the great beasts of the plains one vegetable at a time.

Who Here Likes Trains?

I really don't get out to enough train shows. Unfortunately the Patrick Swayze Express was not on display at this show.

Golf Pros

How to tell when Scott and Becca are in Florida? Golf. And check out the guy in the background (former highschool golf coach) who decided to take me under his wing for 3 buckets of balls. Nice.

Disney

Taking in the Florida wildlife.
Jim showing those animals in the park who's boss.

Xmas Presents

You know you're getting old when your xmas presents consist of books and clothes.
You know you're getting even older when you actually like getting books and clothes. Guess I'm old since I love both!

XMAS Time

Judging by all the presents under the tree, I'd say the Peterses were very good this year. Well at least I was.

Mars

Ever feel like you're on another planet? Mars perhaps?

Happy Birthday Carol!

Happy Birthday Mom!

The Light

I'm not sure if Shannon is keeping Chester from the light or pulling him toward it. Whatever the case, it's rather angelic don't you think?

New Sunglasses

Always fashion forward, the Peterses got some new big sunglasses. The old small ones just aren't cool anymore.

More Air Time

My newscast got cut short when Becca added some choice words (or hand gestures as it may be) regarding the forecasted weather.

Using Up My 15 Minutes of Fame

I got to take part in Chanel 2's Fresh Air Forecast this weekend. As I explained ever so eloquently in the forecast, "Looks like more snow headed for Salt Lake City!"

Saint Nick Was In SLC Last Night!

I was sooo good this year I thought I'd hang two stockings. Apparently Saint Nick also thinks I was very good.

Some info on Saint Nick taken from Wikipedia. The last sentence explains why I still have to hang a stocking (or two) every year.

Celebration in the United States

While feasts of Saint Nicholas are not observed nationally, cities with strong German influences like Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and St. Louis celebrate St. Nick's Day on a scale similar to the German custom. On the previous night, children put one empty shoe (or sock) outside, and, on the following morning of December 6, the children awake to find that St. Nick has filled their previously empty footwear with candy and small presents (if the children have been "good") or ostensibly, coal (if not). For these children, the relationship between St. Nick and Santa Claus is not clearly defined, although St. Nick is usually explained to be a helper of Santa. The tradition of St. Nick's Day is firmly established in the Milwaukee community, with parents often continuing to observe the day with even their adult children.

Dr Seuss Tree

I especially like the green eggs and ham left out for Santa on this tree.

The Force is Strong with this Tree

I thought we have a lot of Star Wars ornaments on our Xmas tree, that was until I saw this tree!

Snow In SLC!

Finally some snow in SLC!
