Know your Neighbors

Interview by Jessie Simmons

David Peterson has owned 23 Mountain View for

about six years. He now has a “partner” so I

should say David and Kara Peterson own 23

Mountain View. They were married in May 2010

and are full time residents. David works at Wal-

Mart Distribution Center and Kara works at Stapley

Pharmacy. David found this home through his

Dad (Brent Peterson) who owns 1 Scenic Circle.

They love it here because it is such a short

distance from their jobs. They love to golf, water

ski, fish, camp, and hike and go 4 wheeling.

HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES

Halloween this year was one crazy day. It started early with David and I speaking in church. We had the subjects of earthly and heavenly debts and tithing. I think we both did pretty good. It was kind of fun. After church, David searched through the dryer for our little mouse friend that you will read about in the previous post...and I slaved away in the kitchen to make a festive halloween dinner for the troops. The menu included spider throw up salad, chili in a pumpkin, freaky finger sticks, slimy worm jello and bat brew. It turned out pretty cute.

 

ATTACK OF THE MOUSE!

A few weeks ago I kept seeing gross little mouse doodles in my laundry shed. I would clean them up and they would come back with a vengeance. So I bought some dcon hoping they would be driven away. It really worked. I stopped seeing those gross doodles. But not long after, I started smelling this funky smell. I cleaned so good all around the washer and dryer and still the smell was there. I opened the dryer and it was inside the dryer! A gross smell that I could not pinpoint. But then I decided it was a dead mouse in the dryer!! So David started tearing into it. We cleaned up what seemed like millions of doodles and pee. We found no mouse. David looked all day long. So he started putting it back together. He could not put it back together without taking it apart further. Thats when he found it....!! The sick gross blown up furball of a mouse. Right there inside the inner workings of our dryer...!!! So So gross....! I am so thankful to David for cleaning that thing up! What a man.

DAVID'S NEW CALLING!

WHEN WE WERE NEWLY MARRIED AND NEW TO THE WARD, DAVID AND I WERE CALLED TO TEACH SUNDAY SCHOOL TO THE 15 YEAR OLDS IN OUR WARD.  WE REALLY ENJOY IT EVERY WEEK. OUR CLASS IS SO NEAT.  ALL THE KIDS ARE SO AWESOME.  I THINK THE KIDS REALLY  LIKE DAVID BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS TELLING THE BISHOPRIC THAT THEY WANT HIM IN THE YOUNG MENS AS WELL.  SO TONIGHT WE GOT A CALL FROM ONE OF THE COUNSELORS IN THE BISHOPRIC. HE WANTED TO MEET WITH BOTH OF US ABOUT A NEW CALLING.  WE WERE KIND OF WONDERING WHAT KIND OF CALLING HE WOULD BE GETTING TO HAVE TO HAVE ME THERE.  SO WE HEADED ON DOWN TO MEET WITH HIM AND DAVID NOW HAS THE PROUD NEW CALLING OF 2ND COUNSELOR IN THE YOUNG MENS OF THE LEEDS 1ST WARD!  HE WANTED ME THERE TO MAKE SURE I WOULD SUPPORT HIS NEW CALLING.  HE WILL BE OVER THE DEACONS IN THE WARD.  WE ARE BOTH PRETTY EXCITED.  THE YOUNG MEN ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM.  HE IS SO GOOD WITH KIDS OF ALL AGES AND I THINK HE WILL BE THEIR NEW ROLE MODEL.  HE HAS SUCH A WONDERFUL SPIRIT AND TESTIMONY AND WILL DEFINATELY BE A GREAT EXAMPLE TO THOSE YOUNG MEN.

WHO'S THAT LADY?

David came home the other night and asked me if I wanted new eyelashes. He said that he works with a girl who knows a girl who puts on lash extensions.  So this girl he works with texted me and told me to come with her and get some.  So I guess I had to.  It was kind of cool. Now I have super long lashes. I don't have to wear mascara anymore....well until they fall out.  They are pretty fun.

CLARK EVERETT BROADBENT

So, I didn't want to put any pictures on my blog before my sister did but I have a new nephew!!!!  Clark Everett Broadbent was born on September 5th!  So being the big sister and all...I had to venture to Texas to meet him.  He is so so so cute!  Kalina is doing great after having the little guy.  I feel like mothering has come so natural to her.  She seemed to know exactly what to do.  Unlike me...I was so akward with the little guy.  But maybe when its your own, you know just what to do.  Daddy Steve is so cute with him.  We went to church with him on sunday and he was telling everyone he knew about his new little son. Its so exciting to see all these cute families growing.  I have to say though...I am pretty sure I have the cutest nephews alive!

A LABOR DAY TO REMEMBER!

For Labor Day weekend, we came up to Bountiful to see Chris take out his endowments at the bountiful temple.  It was such a great experience.  I was able to be Karlee's escort which was kind of cool.  His family was there and so was ours.  He was so excited and we are so excited for him.

We of course got to play with the cutest boys on the planet.  We did a lot of swinging and jumping on the trampoline and playing with cars.  David was so super cute with Caden pushing him on the swing.  I had to post a picture of that.  He made Caden laugh so loud.

We stopped by my parents new house that they are working on to see what they have been doing and my dad was tearing down the hill with his new toy.  I made David try it out.  I think he had fun trying to tear down the hill.

This is their house.  It will look so good when it is done.  It is a HUGE project but they are good at it and enjoy it.

One more super exciting thing happened this weekend but I don't want to post anything just yet.....its not my story to tell until it is announced!  So stay tuned......

BICYCLE MANIA!

We decided that we sit around too much at home doing nothing so since the weather is finally starting to cool down, we are going to bikers.  Our goal is to eventually go from our house, around to Toquerville, through Laverkin to Hurricane and then around Quail Lake back to our house.  It is a long way!  Too bad we are super out of shape and only rode like 10 miles.  I got a major side ache and wanted to cry.  We need a little more practice at this whole excercise thing.  We are going to keep at it though!

RAYS FROM HEAVEN

I took 3 pictures of Caden in the same spot, same angle and same camera settings. One came out like this. Maybe my camera captures direct rays from heaven. This little guy has been in many prayers lately and maybe this light is showing that heaven hears our prayers....Its always a good thought right?
