Here are the rules:
1. Leave a comment on my blog of a memory you have of me, or of you and I together! If you only know me through the blog, list your favorite post of mine. All memories are fun and welcome!
2.Next re post the instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you!

So there you have it folks. Who has memories of me?

Bill Grubbs said...: We were walking downtown Chicago one weekend and the wind was blowing really haard. You were so skinny we had to hold on to both of your hands to keep you from blowing away.

Love,

Judy said...: I remember taking you to the hospital (in an ambulance) from girl's camp. I remember singing together, sleepovers, and meeting you in the Target parking lot when Marshall was a newborn.; July 11, 2008 at 8:53 AM
MommyMert said...: Hmm.. which memory should I choose?

Okay, I will just post a couple of things. I loved the day I came to visit you when you brought Marshall home from the hospital. He was so tiny and you were so brave. Still impressed. Second memory is when I had my AJ and you were the BEST and brought me a couple of meals. You didnt think twice and always made sure I was taken care of. It still means a lot to me. uh.. how about when we were working at the hospital together and you were so excited to show me the website you had made of Nathan. :) We go way back! Last memory, which I dont know if you like this one or not... but I remember when we were at the McD's and getting the papers signed for Brian to adopt Nathan. It was a good moment for me, because it meant you could be a family. :) Glad we are friends.; July 14, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Britt said...: I remember first meeting you at Grandpa Ted's funeral . Travis and I were engaged and talking non-stop about a family and our future together. I remember you following Nathan (about two years old?)around and watching intently wondering what it would be like to be a mom? Now I'm the one doing the chasing. Seems like you still are, too! The other thing I remember is hearing story after story about the wonderful Grubbs family. You guys are sure a big part of the Peterson crew's growing up memories.; July 16, 2008 at 11:51 AM

Kids Say The Darndest Things...

For FHE tonight, we were looking at pictures of some of the things President Monson does. There was a picture of President Monson and some children at a temple dedication. Marshall asked if President Monson was DECORATING the temple. HAHAHA! He seriously makes me laugh so much.
Today while we were driving to Idaho Falls, we saw some black rainclouds, and some white ones too. We told Marshall that the black clouds have rain in them. A few minutes later, Grandma, who was in the car with us, was saying something about styrofoam. Marshall said, "Oh! I know! The black clouds are made of rain, and the white clouds are made of styrofoam. That's why you can walk right through them!
There was an Asian Lady Beetle on our kitchen windowsill today, and Marshall was really upset about it! He yelled, "OH NO! There's an OTTINGER BUG IN OUR HOUSE!!"
Marshall:"I can still write the Bucklein kind in German." (I have no idea why he said that. This is part of the fun of having a child with Autism.)
Marshall: "My other favorite word is forest." Ok..that one came out of nowhere.
Brian was trying to teach Marshall about the sounds vowels make. This time he was talking to him about why our last name sounds the way it does. We have always taught him that when 2 vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. Well, Brian told him that in German (our last name is German), when 2 vowels go walking, the 2nd one does the talking. Marshall asked, "They can't say their L's?"
Marshall: "Dad, what's your favorite word? Love? Mom? Wanna know probably the biggest word I know? Probably the 'docious word'. (Translation: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)
What is the biggest word you know? Marshall: "Fight".
Marshall: "The thing I hate most terribly in my life is singing."
Marshall (with his arms wrapped around my neck): "Mom, I care for you." Ohhh...how sweet.
Marshall: "Dad, you are handsome.:
When we were hiking Squaw Peak, Marshall said, "HI DUDE!" to everyone he saw. Then, he decided to say, "See ya later Alligator." He thought that was funny, but then he saw a woman, so instead of saying, "See ya later Alligator", he decided to say, "See ya later Alli-Woman!"
We asked Marshall if he learned about Jesus on Easter Sunday. Nate asked if they showed him a picture of Jesus on the cross, the thing that has two boards going together like this (he made the shape of a cross). Marshall said, "It was a T that smushes him together. They (the bad guys) took his (Jesus') shoes and socks off so it would hurt more. So he was bare feet and they put nails in his feet. Isn't that ouch?" I asked what happened after that and he said, "Jesus said I"ll be alive in 3 days and he woke up and came alive and now he can never die!"
Brian was telling Marshall that Nathan is getting so big! He said, "Nathan is ten! In two more years he will be twelve and hold the Priesthood!" Marshall said, "He only needs two more grown ups to hold it!"
Marshall told me he has a lotter pirates than Nathan. A lotter? That means more than a lot.
Marshall always lays on the floor next to the bathroom door whenever Nathan goes in there. We try to get him to leave Nathan alone but he just won't. One day Nathan went into the bathroom and Marshall said, "Nathan, are you almost done?" Nathan said yes. Marshall then asked, "One more poop, then you're done?" Nathan gets so embarrassed by Marshall.
Nathan went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. Marshall knocked on the door and said, "Nathan, if you need help, I'll be right here."
Tonight when we were doing sparklers, Marshall asked if he could do another sprinkler.
Today Marshall told me that if anyone is mean to his brother he will smash them with a panyo (piano) and they will be flat like a turkey sandwich. He loves his brother!!
While we were in the car taking Brian to school, Marshall and I had the following conversation: Marshall- "I don't have any points." ME- "When will you get points?" Marshall: "In 20 years when I am nine. When I am nine I will have numbers. Then we will have to go to the gag shop to get more numbers."
We had a Family Home Evening Lesson on The Plan of Salvation. Things were going well as we showed Marshall the cut outs we had for each of the 3 Kingdoms which we will end up in after the Judgement Day. He looked it over and pointed to the Telestial World and said "I will go there." "NO," I exclaimed. That is the bad one. He said "I will go to the bad one." Then it hit me. He was picking this one because it was a star. "Are you saying that because it's a star shape and Twinkle Little Star is your favorite song," I asked? "Yup. I want to go to the star one." For the closing song he wanted to sing Twinkle Little Star that is Bad.
We were talking about thieves and how they can go to jail if they get caught. Nathan said "I won't thief." I wondered what he was talking about so I asked him. He said "Thieving is wrong, Mom." OHHHH...you meant STEALING!!
Marshall woke up with a really stuffy nose and said "My nose can't breathe."
Marshall went with me to Wal-Mart today so Brian could work on his research. I bribed my little one by telling him if he went with me, I would buy him a toy. He wanted a Thomas train so badly but I convinced him to settle with a Mickey Mouse figure that comes with a scooter. He got very frustrated with the toy because he couldn't put Mickey on the "screwdriver". It took me a while to figure out that he meant scooter. Haha...so cute.
Today Marshall went to the doctor for his 3 yr old checkup. When the nurse asked "How are you Marshall?" he said "I have to get 2 shots." As we were leaving, he saw the same nurse again and said with a grumpy look on his face "I do NOT like shots!" She laughed so hard.
Marshall: "I'm a warewolf AWOOO!!"
When Nathan was probably 5, I got him new pajamas..the kind with a "fly" in them. He stuck his hand through it and said "Look Mom! I have a new pocket!!"
Marshall and I were playing Cranium Cariboo when he suddenly stopped and said "Can I please have a slice of water." At least he was polite! :)
