Scrapbook Photos

The tree in question...

The couches we were looking at and what we finally decided to get.

The dilemma known as my neighbors

So we bought a house in Plainfield IL. I got my parents to take some pictures during the inspection and here are some choice one!

Yearly karate event in Bakersfield

We don't do much for Halloween as we don't get trick or treaters. Danielle did carve a pretty kickass pumpkin though. She drew this freehand on the pumpkin then carved it.

This is what we have so far. The photos from the wedding photographer are going to take a month to get back.

Danielle tests for her green belt and gets promoted.

Who would have thought you could fit ALL of the World's News onto less than one page!

Got this awesome bears poster for $35 and Danielle's grandparents sent us this dude to go on the wall.

It was long overdue, but here it is. She liked it, so that is what counts right :)?

Bev and Roger Peters 50th Anniversary

Once again on vacation. Didn't take as many pictures this year. Too busy it seems.

Sensei Ong held a Gasshuku and we attended

My first Gasshuku. Quite an adventure.

It came a little damaged, but nothing a Sharpie couldn't fix and now it is money.

Soxfest 06 was all about the seminars baby! Autograph lines were HUGE so all we got was Senior Thome. Went out with everyone Sat night. Good times, good times.

Dave had never skiied before so we gave him one green run then it was on to the blues. He couldn't keep up and hurt his back. :( Got to spend the rest of the day in the bar though. Andrew wanted some steeper terrain and did damn well on the blacks. Congrats

Danielle gets first...

Danielle's Dad had his 50th birthday so I was back in Rockford again. Josh flew into town for the weekend as well and we jung out with Mike. Sat we took the train down to chicago for a day of excitement. Picked up a coat at Grandstand, ate in Chinatown, met up with Matt and played some pool before taking the train back home. Met a wonderfully crazy homeless guy on the train who scared the crap out of us. Luckily some delinquent 15 year old got on the bus and he latched onto him instead.

In town for the weekend since Game 6 of the World Series was not played. Davo, Pan, Saunders, and myself went to a halloween party. Good times.<br/>The night started with heading to the halloween party down on the southside. It was a pretty good party.<br/>Next we took a taxi up to Wrigleyville and $36 later we chillin at some bar I barely remember. Ended up crashing at Pan's place where I got to sleep on the least comfortable recliner ever.

Went on a very "strenuous" 1.2 Mile hike up to the Hanging Lake. This was quite cool and well worth the hike.<br><br>The next day we went skiing and Dad was a champ. Only fell a few times all day despite it being an intermediate trail.

Danielle and I decided to go on a hike. It was a pretty easy hike. Unfortunately we didn't bring any flashlights so we couldn't go into the caves. Next time I will remember them though.

Various vacation from Fripp Island SC. Spend a week there with 34! people. Had three houses rented on the ocean.

Pictures of the first turtle. He was sick when we got him and he died after three days :( We now have two baby Blanding's turtles. These turtles are a "threatened" species so I can't have them die! They are pretty neat though, swim around a lot and eat whatever I feed them :)

Sox win 2-1 at Coors Field. 2-1!? WTF. Who plays a 2-1 game at Coors. Good game none the less.

USA vs England internation friendly at Soldier Field. Final Score: England 2 - 1 USA Afterwards we walked around the parks, met some english folk and someone who said they just came from Bulls camp. (Yeah right buddy, you're barely bigger than me and eating a fish sandwhich at Bennigans)

A fabulous day that saw Patrick graduate from the eigth grade. Despite all attempts, a smile was impossible to extract from Patrick.

Was a great time for the second year in a row. Once again I can still throw faster than Danielle! :) Purchased a Gameboy for the long lines ;)

Thanksgiving 2004 at the Peters home.
