Peterson POSROIT #80


Joy in the process of creating our own fireworks:
Mentos + Diet Coke = fun!
(See the pros do it here)


Part of the twice-annual
illegal neighborhood fireworks show

Boom!

Kara loved the fireworks for Pioneer Day. She sat in Dad's lap, looking up and saying "Wow!" and "Cool!"

After a day that included more than one time-out for her, Amy asked, "Mom, could you be a little nicer tomorrow?"

Brenda is looking for a way to get melted crayon out of fabric. After having gone through the washer and dryer, some of our sheets have become "embellished" with lovely purple streaks.

And the biggest news of all...

Joy bought a car. The one he has been driving has been falling apart around him for years. Last week he almost didn't make it home from work. He's been looking off and on for something else for a year or so, but with recent malfunctions and mysterious noises, he decided to step up the effort. After dealing with with some obnoxious salespeople and not finding anything suitable in Utah County, we prayed about it as a family. Tuesday morning Joy found a promising listing and headed up to Salt Lake City to check it out. That evening he drove home in a 2001 Chevy Prizm. It's in good condition and came in about $1000 less than we were willing to spend. And it has a CD player.

QOSROIT: What kind of vehicle do you drive?

Love,
The Petersons

We have an 03 Chevy Venture, a 94 Olds 88 Royale, and a 95 GMC Vandura that we are trying desperately to sell...Josiah just got a new bike at WalMart for $34 (20 inch) a few weeks ago and Caitlyn has a collapsable tri-cycle from Toys R Us that cost us $15!
