Graduation

I still can not believe my oldest son is going to graduate High School next week. It just does not seem possible. The one good thing about him graduating is that he will be attending HCC in the fall so he will still be around. That is until he goes on his mission. Then I will be really sad to see him leave for two years with only two phones allowed a year. ***SIGH***

He is a good kid and he surely loves his momma. He is the one with the big cheesy smile but then again that is just the way he is and I love him to pieces.

Names!

I know this may seem like a I am making a big deal out of something so small but it bothers and has bothered me since before my son was born. My oldest sons name is Steven, not Steve, Steveo or any other form of Steven that you can think of. I wish people would call him Steven! It start before he was born with my sister saying that "oh, you will be calling him Steve before he is one.". NOT happening and will not happen! There is someone I know who insists on calling him Steve and no matter how many times I tell him his name is Steven not Steve he refuses to stop calling him Steve. I have turned the other cheek so many times around this person that they are starting to get bruises on them. I just want to tell him how rude he is by calling him that, but I get so frustrated with this person as well as other people get frustrated by him as well for other things he has said or done to their kids as well. So how would you deal with this person?? It's not like we can avoid him since they have contact with him every day.
