Adorable things:

When Grandpa Bob was in the hospital, I took my girls up to see him and was talking to them about him dying and what things they might say to him...things like how they felt about him, what nice things he did for them, etc. And my adorable Savanna Rae, asks, "Can I ask Grandpa Bob to tell Jesus 'Hi' for me?" Savanna running out of preschool into my arms, screaming, "Mommy."

Brandon telling me when he has been gone on a trip, how much he misses my feet on him at night, even if they are cold. Brandon teasing me about everything and anything. Something breaking and knowing Brandon can fix it, can fix anything, My personal handy man! Sometimes I make him wear his tool belt without his shirt...shh. Brandon dunking over a boy with small man syndrom. Watching Brandon play basketball, many nights a week. Having our girls cheer, "Gooooo Daddy."

Saydee Jo's obsession with Snow White. Wearing her Snow White dress and shoes, everyday, everywhere, anytime. Having to sneak it away from her at night to wash it. And when asked when she turned 3, her response is "At DisneyLand." Saydee Jo saying "me want to too."

Sami Kay writing songs and always wanting to perform in front of an audience, her sisters. Sami packing her purse up for everywhere we go, not matter how short the trip. Samantha doing homework, practicing reading and coming home from school so excited that she passed off another reader! That gleam in her eyes that says..."I did it!"

I am constantly reminded the secret to having it all...is believing you already do!


It is 2009 and it truly is a beautiful life! I have a beautiful family. I am in love with my adorable husband, Brandon! We have been married for almost 6 years! We have built a great life together with three beautiful girls. Samantha Kay is the smartest Little 5 year old Princess! Savanna Rae, Miss LITTLE SuNsHInE herself, is 4! And then there is Saydee Jo, who is 3 and has absolutely no fear!!! Does anyone know how to have boys? We need two! Okay, we'll settle for one! Maybe we have one on the way, #4 is due June 22. So, we will see...


Everyday is filled with gratitude, challenges, spontaneous laughter, dress up, singing and dancing! Oh I can't forget dancing...did I say dancing already?



A fun little survery:

Who would you like to meet?... It would be incredible to meet Mr. Hottie Kyle, my all time favorite Jazz player only 2nd to Jeff Hornaseck, can do better 88% FT shooter, deep, complex and artistic Korver.

I truly would love to meet, Matthew, stop my heart, McConaughey! (shirt or no shirt, deodorant or not...I'll take him, all natural)

And Mr. Bret, Rock of Love, Michaels would be a treat to meet too! Let's not forget, Terry, all time favorite, could possibly be the best, quarterback, Bradshaw, but I will pass on meeting him in his naked room!
Mr. Justin, who brings my sexy back, Timberlake! Fine fellow!


For my girls sake, I need to meet Barney, the Dinosaur who looks great in purple, Hannah, aka Miley Cyrus and singing sensation, Montana and the entire cast of High School Musical!!!



What are your interests? ... When is the next scrapbook expo? Show me the season Jazz tickets. Please let Brandon & I win at least one fantasy football league game. I need to know when Gymboree is having their next big sale. Give us a lake, and you will find our boat pulling someone behind it, either boarding, skating, surfing or maybe even tubing! And let me tell you, I love being a taxi driver, from preschool, to dance, to soccer, to gymnastics, to ...no wonder I love it!!!



What is playing on the radio at any given time?...My radio has been taken over by Disney and my CD player has been bombarded with "Litte People" albums. Songs like "Where is thumbkin" or "Mr Sun".
However, when the station gets changed or the CD "accidently" gets thrown out the window, I am down with anything! I am also stuck in the 80s, there is no other music good enough. And not to mention the hair bands, Motley Crue, KISS, Poison, Ratt, AC/DC, Aerosmith, etc. Hey, I'm not afraid to say that I am an old school, rocker chic.




What are your favorite TV shows? ... All programming at the Pehrson household is trumped by a Jazz Game, Football Game, or the FINAL round of a golf tournament.

What are your favorite movies?...All time favorites: Dumb and Dumber, Happy Gilmore, Tommy Boy, Rudy, Sweet Home Alabama, Italian Job, Top Gun, Gladiator and lets not forget all the John Candy classics, esp Great Outdoors or Adam Sandler movies, except Little Mickie. And yet again, I have to go back the 80s and the classic Brat Pack movies.

I'm a sucker for romance though...Notebook, and anything that has my favorite Mr. Matthew in them, Failure to Launch, Wedding Planner, How to loose a Guy...wow I'm getting flushed just thinking about them.




What do you like to read?... All Time Favorite: The Work and the Glory...all nine special collector edition volumes. The Kingdom and the Crown Trilogy. What can I say, I am a fan of Gerald Lund. Not to mention anything written by Nicholas Sparks is fabulous.

Recently read: There's a Wocket in my Pocket, by Dr. (the man) Suess.
5 Laws and the Twighlight Series are recent additions to my library.
