Talented Peters Family intertaining on Sunday :)

This orange tree has more oranges on this year than ever before. They are hoping they stay there until they get ripe. They work so hard to make things grow. Practice makes perfect!!! Don't give up. :)
Grandma Pearl and Elsie and her cousin waiting for the concert. Where is Nathan? He was being shy but I think he'd like to have a musical instrument also when he reaches the age they offer it to him in school.

Elsie loves to be a ballerina. She likes to pose also.
Kayla and Garrett playing a duet. They have improved so much since the last ime we heard them. Keep up the good work, we love hearing you play.
Grandpa is playing with Kayla and trying to remember one of his songs for her to hear.


Have you ever seen such concentration on everybody especially grandpa Pete.


Garrett is really holding the bow better and Kayla is learning her notes. That is something Grandma Pearl hasn't mastered yet.

Kayla's birthday gifts

Grandpa Pete was in charge of gifts Kayla received. He didn't get all of them. From memory, a baptism pillow case that she can color on for a keep sake and use. Her scriptures with her name on, a scripture bag, a nice white jacket, and many more . I apologize for not remembering everything. But it was a fun time.

Palm Springs Holocaust Memorials

As many of you know I'm very interested in learning more about the Holocaust. When we were walking before one of the games in Palm Springs we noticed a sign saying Holocaust Memorial. We walked over and then after the end of one of the games I talked Salty into going over and seeing it in its entirety. Below you can see some of the statues and if you click on them you can see the detail..They are self explanatory. This is titled, "The Thinker," s softball player thinking about what happened and how is it explained. (my interpretation).

These statues are at the entrance of the trail.

Now the journey into the past.





If you are down this way do make it a point to view this memorial. It was very faith promoting, trying to see and visual the happenings that went on and how anyone can deny that it happened is beyond me.

Palm Springs Champs

This is where we stayed when we went to Palm Springs after Kayla's baptism. It is a fun place to stay and the pool is wonderful. The weather was a little nicer in Palm Springs than Oceanside, meaning there was not so much rain. We were glad for that.
We went to dinner as a group to the Fisherman Market and Grill. It is one of the most popular places to eat in Palm Springs. We usually eat out doors but because of the wet/rainy weather we sat inside. We recommend it to anyone who likes fish.
We were AA champs and got a trophy and a $200.00 credit for next years tournament.

6 Feb 2010 Kayla's Baptism

This is where we stayed. You can see how wet it was.




Friday, the 5TH of February we traveled to Oceanside for Kayla Marie Peters 8TH birthday, she was also getting baptized by her father that day. It had been stormy off and on all week but we weren't too worried. When we got passed Mesquite NV it started to sprinkle off and on again and when we reached the Cohan Pass it was horrible. Fog, heavy rain, wind and we remembered that the drivers in CA just drive normal. They don't stop for anything. I was a nervous wreck by the time we reached Oceanside. Paul had checked in with us to see how we were doing and how far we had traveled. We were booked at the Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Oceanside. What a wonderful place to stay inn. There was all kinds of faculties to use, bar-be- cue, spa and everything you wanted but everything was outside so we didn't get to enjoy any of them, maybe next time.:)
We went to a place called Rusty Pizza for lunch and then we went home to get ready for the baptism, it was still raining. The baptism was wonderful. The font was not very full and Kayla is so light her knee came up and Paul had to do it again. A wonderful missionary tool for the non-member to see. They knew it was a full immersion and had to be done as the Savior had instructed.
There was a young man, Curtis J. Horner baptized also. Each participant had members of their participate, prayers , talks, music and it was a very inspirational event. It was still raining but Sunday it was a beautiful day and Sacrament was a very good meeting. Kayla bore her testimony and told of her experience at school Friday. When the students have a birthday they get to tell the class what they are going to do and she told the class she was going to be baptized and there were many questions asked and she told theme of being baptized by immersion. What a great missionary she was that day and will continue all her life I'm sure. I've included a few of the pictures I took for your enjoyment. Grandma Pearl

5 year miracle

We have had this plant for so many years. Once it had a Bata Fish in it. It was Reanna's favorite plant and one day she put a red marble in the water. It is still there. It bloomed quite often an then after the fish died we just kept it thinking it would bloom again. It never did. Last week we noticed what looked like a blossom. Yes, it really is and almost to the sides of it is another blossom. This plant hasn't bloomed for 5 years. We are really excited to see it bloom.
