Christmas Times 2009
Here's a little bit of Catch Up that needs to be recorded into Petty's Place Blog History. Nathan had a couple of special visits from Santa Clause this year. He's been a very good boy and very helpful to his parents. He received a cement truck from Santa that has been very happily traveling in the snow of the resident pool with his other construction trucks.
NQ was very pleased to see Santa and told him about how he's been so good, and how he needed a purple Mack Truck (which he got) He hopped right up on Santa's lap and hugged him and told him he loved him. Santa's eyes got misty while visiting our little boy.
Christmas morning he found a new "Cars" tent in his living room, right next to the Christmas tree!
Chutes and Ladders came from the Jensen family, and it has been used extensively to this point!

Merry Christmas!
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

Snow Boys
Shane and Nathan felt the urge to snowmobile around the yard/fairgounds on Tuesday. We bundled NQ to the max, because the sun was setting soon. He loved it. He loves the snow, he loves his snow gear, he loves the snowmobiles and he loves his Daddy. Best 20 minutes of the whole day, no doubt.

Shower, cousins and Clouds
Baby Update: For now my scheduled C-section date is January 7th. Unless I go into labor before then, the 7th will be baby Petty's Birthday.
The Shower on the 10th was lovely. Of course I forgot my Camera. Wendy took a couple of photos which I will have to get from her. But I did take a couple of pictures of the diaper cake that Camille and Korahle made. Isn't this awesome?! I unrolled it a few days later and can't believe HOW MANY diapers they had to roll, and then secure with tiny little baby hair bands! Very cool. And I'm Sure, Time consuming. One of the games we played was "mold the cutest baby" out of Play-doh. I then selected the cutest of the babies. This was fun to watch, all the ladies and their Play-doh making tiny little people. Did you know they make black Play-Doh? I didn't, until then ;o) It was a fun shower, and I received wonderful gifts. And I appreciated anyone who made an effort to come in the ZERO degree weather. Sure, that seemed warmer than a few days before, but it was still ZERO outside. SO THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!
After Church on 13th, our little Kidlets looked so cute in their Christmas outfits we took some photos for all posterity. Arranging TWO children is much harder than arranging one. This will be good to remember.
NQ faking a sneeze, because I sneezed to make Olivia smile.
Neither one really paying attention, but at least they're holding still
Olivia loved hugging, but ALWAYS with her face away from the camera.

Cutest little cousins.
I looked out our window the other day and saw waves in the sky. Just over the hills North of Lander these little curly peaks formed. I took some photos because I thought they were unique.

Nathan thoughts
The biggest thing we're doing now is playing Dinosaurs. Only we have three: a Baby, a Momma and a Daddy Dinosaur. And with them, essentially play 'house.' The Dino's go grocery shopping, go to the movie, play tag, take naps, eat popcorn, sell cars and dirt bikes, ride in Jeeps, snowmobiling, do dishes, find volcano's, etc. Seriously, Nathan brings me a dinosaur, where ever I am...even NOW as I type, to play dinosaurs. Right this second they are playing Hop Scotch.
A few things that have made me beam this last week:
Nathan likes it when Shane pulls the 'tree break' (E-break) on the car to make it slide in the snow. He also calls the computer the 'cuter;' "Are you working on the Cuter?" and last week I asked Shane to get me the fungal cream for a rash on Nathan and Nathan said "Why do I need Jungle Cream?"
