Hubby TAG...

Name: Steven Douglas Peterson

Birthday: July 14th, 1978 (Yeah...he's old...)

Where from: Beaver, UT

Job: Works painting houses, goes to school, works for the mortuary, Father to 3 kids and 1 naggy wife...

Favorite TV show: He has a few...The Office, Heroes, Prison Break, and the sports on the news... yay channel 5!

Favorite book: Steven likes lots of books, but I think he likes Harry Potter the most...one summer he read them all at once, and I thought we would never see him til school started!

Hobbies/Interests: Steven likes me the most...hahaha...but he likes a lot of other stuff too...(and he's good at it all!!!) Basketball, Baseball, Football, Snowboarding, Golfing, Fishing, Hunting, reading to JS, playing poker on his cell phone, family and friends...

Favorite Food: Seshuan chicken (sp?) from Yu's Mapel Garden..they seriously know him by name...Which he always said was a goal of his...LOL

What do you like about him?: I like everything about him...he's everything I ever wanted...he's a good Dad and Husband. He's got the 'yes dear' thing down well, and he still winks at me... oh and he looks awesome with a hat on backwards...mmmm

Any other interesting facts about him?: Steven has a blonde patch on the top of his head that other people think is just a bad dye job, when in fact, it's his birthmark. His entire scalp on that side has no pigment in it. It makes it easy to pick him out in a crowd. Also, he's colorblind...and he paints houses!! hahaha! He wanted to be an air force piolot when we were first married, but they wouldn't take him cuz his eyes are color deficient...
He's left handed like me, and both JL and JS are right handed.
Like I said earlier, he's good at everything he does. If he puts his mind to something, he'll accomplish it. I couldn't be more proud to be married to him.
Nobody is perfect, but I also must say that he is one of the most Christlike people I know when it comes to loving people. He has a sensitive side that hardly anyone sees especially when it comes to people in need. Steven would do anything for anyone at anytime. He works hard, and is very giving. I love him so much, and the best part is that he picked me to be his wife! What a blessing!

I tag: Whoever wants to be tagged!!! This was a fun way to remember why you married your hubby!!!

BOO!!!

I've been booed!! Thanks Aunt Debbie...

This tag is about the spooky Halloween holiday! I, too love Halloween. I didn't always like it, but it's a lot more fun now that we have little gobblins runnin around this crazy mortuary apartment! Plus, it's my sis in law KelliAnn's birthday, and WE LOVE KELLIANN!!

What was your favorite costume as a kid? I had a pumpkin costume in the 4th grade that required at least a month's worth of newspaper to fill. It was quite scratchy and itchy, but I remember my Mom taking part of her day to come to my school, shove me into the costume, and stuff me full of newspaper. It was nice of her to do that...LOL Love you Mom!!

What is your favorite Halloween candy? Honestly...I am not a big fan of candy. I would much rather have the carbs, thank you. My wasteline shows that I love carbs, too!!

Do you have a Halloween tradition? Yes...we always go to the ward's trunk or treat, and to all of the Grandma's houses. It kind of gets late by the time we're done. Our kids have 4 Grandma's to visit so it's busy. Now that Halloween is also a family member's birthday, we celebrate at my Mom's house with taco soup (KelliAnn's favorite). Hey...we have to do things to suck up to her...after all, we don't want her giving back our brother!!

Have you ever given a trick instead of a treat? Hehehe...can I plead the 5th?? Some of the 'recievers' of such tricks could be reading...

I boo (at least 3 people)... Angie, Monica, and Traci. Oh and anyone who reads and wants to write down their Halloween experiences for fun!!!

Mary who?

Ok I have the cutest friend, Melanie Layton...href="http://WWW.LAYTONLOVIN.BLOGSPOT.COM"> She is probably just about the nicest, most Christlike person I know, and she needs your help!
She just recently became a Mary Kay consultant, and I know all of you beautiful women need your beautiful cosmetics, so if anyone needs any...go ahead and hop on over to her blog or her Mary Kay website and leave her a comment so she can get in touch with you. She's trying to live the american dream and stay home with her gorgeous son, Max. (Seriously go look at him on her blog, he's ADOREABLE.) I know from experience how hard it is to try and stay home without bringing in any income. Go ahead and check out her site and order some makeup!

Dang flu bug...

Ew I hate being awoken to the sound of one of the kids vomiting. Not my fav. This time, JS threw up in his bed and all over himself. I did hear something sounding like a cough, but didn't think anything of it until he climbed into MY BED. So I ended up washing two beds instead of just his. On top of that, Steven was getting calls for the mortuary all night, and JT wouldn't go back to sleep. We all ended up on a blanket in the front room with bowls next to us. I'd just get back to sleep when I would hear...blaaaaahhhh...splash. Poor kids. Ahhh the joys of being a Mommy.
Wonderful reason #2 for being a Mommy...
So the other day Steven wasn't feeling well at work, (imagine that) and I took him a coke and a muffin to settle his stomach. (Guys are wimps.) I drove past the place where we bought my wedding ring and thought that I would stop to get it cleaned. JLand JS were in school, so this would be perfect. I pull over, and get JT out of the car and go in. They immediately take my 'kidified ring' to the back and begin cleaning it. While we waited, JT and I sat at the counter looking at some rings in a couple of comfy chairs. A man walked into the store wearing an expensive suit with beautiful shoes and shook hands with the jeweler. They sat down and began talking about the diamond business.
A beautiful sparkling diamond in the back corner of the case caught my eye and I shifted my weight to sit up and look at it. Just then, Angel #3 decided to pass some massive gas. The jeweler and the expensive suit man stopped talking and stared at me. I looked around, panicked, and then said..."Excuse you buddy..." They both just gave me a 'yeah right' kind of look. I grabbed JT and as I did, he let another one go, to which he said.."Bum funny.." Needless to say I won't be going to get my ring cleaned without a discuise...like not sweat pants and a pony tail, and DEFINATELY not with stinky Pete JT.

My ring is sparkly.

UMMM.kay...no more accidents..:)

Steve's brother, Todd called me thismorning to ask me to come get them. Yep. They crashed their boss' truck. THEY ARE BOTH FINE. This time it wasn't Steven's fault, but yeah. Does anyone else think that this is a bit excessive?? At least both times he's wrecked someone else's car. That's good, right?? Well, maybe not if he has to use other people's cars. Yeah, don't let Steven borrow your car...
Steven...NO MORE ACCIDENTS, PLEASE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a VIP!

I CANNOT believe my little baby girl is going to be 7! It seems like just a day ago, Steven and I were married in Salt Lake and two short months later found out that we were going to be parents. We wondered what we were going to do what with me working and no money..and today we look back and think about the blessing that she is. If we wouldn't have starting having a family then, we might not have all of our team here on earth. Thankfully we did have her then, and we have no more ball players in heaven on the bench waiting to come into the game.
I am glad for my sweet little JL, for the things she's teaching me...(like how girls are super sensitive)..for her crooked smile, and her happy self. For the happiness that she brings to our home, and most of all for the good friend that she is to me..no one has ever been better..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY JL!! I LOVE YOU!!
