Christmas 2009
Dear Family and Friends,
Merry Christmas! The Petty Family has had another great year! We’re really excited for the newest adventure yet to arrive, a baby boy due in the next couple of weeks! Our little family is growing!
Nathan turned 3 years old this November! We celebrated with a “Pirate Party” and invited the kids to wear their Halloween costumes. Nathan has had a stellar swimming season, and continues to amaze Shane and me with his quick thinking, humor and cognitive grasp of EVERYTHING!! He loves to talk on the phone, and will go around the house with it at his ear having great conversations with who ever will take time to talk to him. He likes to paint, color, dance – Like Michael Jackson, sing about whatever is important (don’t bite me, Dinosaur, don’t bite me) and will never been seen without a truck or car on his person somewhere, usually tucked into the safety of his backpack. Pizza or grilled cheese sandwich is his favorite food.
Shane FINALLY received a new church calling in about September. He is a primary teacher to the 11-12 year olds. (This means I do too) He LOVES the kids in his class. He was also THRILLED with the early snow we had this season taking advantage of riding his “Dragon” powder sled. The outdoors man takes part in shooting sports, 4-wheeling, and dirt biking, fishing, hiking... Autoplex is under its 5th year with Shane as the steward over it. He’s made some great contacts within the business and banking world and enjoys those relations. He’s also now a VERY ACTIVE Kiwanis member! He does lots of volunteering with that organization, and I’m very proud of him. Shane has lots of favorite foods, among them: crab and lobster.
I’ve continued into my Ward Activities and Activity Day Girl callings with vigor, and was released from the girls in November. I will miss them. We found out we were pregnant in April! I was thrilled and hoped the pregnancy would be as easy as the first one. It was NOT. This, I felt, meant we were having a girl, it did NOT! We are thrilled NQ will be having a brother! I started nesting early and was ready for Christmas in October, wanting a tree, music, presents and the whole ordeal up and going! I did NOT. Nonetheless, I DID have much accomplished! I’ve done a few cakes and pictures and projects this year, and that’s how I like it. My favorite food is ever changing with my food tolerance; however I’ll almost never turn down quality chocolate!
We’ve been pleased to be party to an engagement this year. Congratulations to Brooke and Wes! We’ve also been very happy to have the Travis, Amy and Olivia Barney family move to Lander! It’s been so fun to have them so close!
Thank you for being a part of our lives!
Love,
Cami, Shane, Nathan and
Soon-to-be baby boy Petty

I didn't know you got released in November?!?
I saw Travis in Riverton, but I didn't get to talk to him that long! Hopefully next time we visit I will be able to visit with everyone longer, and hold your baby!
