The Peterson Clan

I am not sure how it happened but somehow a Peterson family reunion was planned for while we were in town. My Mom, one of her older sisters, and my uncle were all able to get together and bring some of their family. We were the only Baxter's present, but my aunt had three of her girls (out of her 8 kids) and my uncle had 13 of his 14 kids there. All I have to say is my family is crazy big!! I felt bad for Jeff because as soon as we arrived I had to feed Nate, dad headed to the car to get pictures of my other aunts family (the aunt that couldn't attend) and then mom was off talking to everyone...that left Jeff standing alone in a crowd of 60+ people of which he didn't know a soul!! My uncle Larry took pity on Jeff and started talking his ear off.

We had a great time visiting with the family and meeting all of the spouses and kids. The hardest part was figuring out which kids went with which parents and which Peterson was which (you can tell by the lower right hand picture that my uncles boys all look alike...oh and all 14 of his kids names start with "T" so even if you know where in the line up they are you have to try and figure out which t-name they belong too.)

We also got to see the houses that Todd and Ty have build...all I have to say is "those Peterson boys are extremely talented!!" I which I could have had them out to VA to build us a house. (Todd's house was 3000+ sq feet and in VA would easily sell for $1 million plus but in ID he would only get ~$250K...crazy I tell you!)
