The Moffett Train

Almost every year on Mia and Skylar's birthdays(My neighbors kids)Their parent's borrow from one of their friends a train pulled by a four wheeler. All of the neighbors and I are thrilled because it means entertainment for a couple of days. The kids love it! Maisey was old enough this year to ride along with one of her brothers sitting beside her. The kids have so much fun. Skylar likes to drive everyone around. It's great fun and all of us parents love watching the kids have so much fun.

Masuisui Luau

Last Saturday the Masuisui's put on a Luau at their house. They had amazing food, Fun entertainment, and Lot's of fun! Kevin got picked to do one of their dance things. Two other guys and him had to swing their hips when they heard stuff like kiwi, papaya, and pineapple. It was hilarious! I don't think he liked being in front of everyone but he was a good sport and it was great fun. Maisey absolutely loved the dances and would try and imitate everything that they did. That girl loves to dance and every time she hears music she stops what she is doing and starts dancing. It was fun to see a lot of our friends and neighbors and get to have a fun night with the family.

Chili Cook Off

You are reading the blog of the winner of the Farr West 5th Ward Chili cookoff, I may have or have not won because only three people took the time to vote. Kevin did see the Bishop get two bowl fulls of my famous chili so it had to be good, Right? There was this lady there that tried to take credit for my chili. Yes my husband did have a Pepsi in his hand which was rather embarrassing but that does not mean that I should be disqualified. I didn't win the shootout but I did get a Twinkie and a certificate. Overall it was a great time. The kids had fun playing in the haystacks, Finding candy in the sawdust, and playing games. I was rather impressed and a little disgusted with the belching contest but Hey, Our ward can definitely have a good time!!

Just Peachy!!

So I had the best peach torte at book club. I had no idea that I like peaches as much as I do. I have never really cared for them but I have been missing out! I went to Pettingills in Willard and it was a frenzy. They had just showed up with baskets of fresh picked peaches and I had to get me some of that. I bought a big box and set them on my counter.Now what to do with all of them. Well I knew that I was definitely making the Peach torte, So as I started on that I peeled Maisey a peach and watched her eat it. She was digging the peaches..
I guess after a minute the fork just wasn't fast enough for her. Kevin helped me make some peach freezer jam and tomorrow it will be peach pie's. Gotta love peaches!!!

Preschool

Preschool has started up again and Trey is one happy camper. He got up and was dressed and ready to go about three hours before it started. He is now in the four year old class so he is in the afternoon. He was so excited to go back. I have to say that it was so quiet at my house. I put Maisey down for a nap after we drop Trey off and I don't hear a sound for three hours!! Ahhhh it's so peaceful on Tuesdays and Friday's!

Hogle Zoo

On Labor Day we decided to go to the Zoo. We had some free tickets and thought it would be a good day to go. I guess everybody else thought it would be a good day also. There was so many people there!! Kevin dropped me and the kids off and went in search of a parking spot. Twenty minutes later he met up with me and the kids. The kids had so much fun! Tarrin had is little camcorder with him and liked going around taking pictures and doing some video of the animals. Wyatt also brought his Fisher Price camera and took Lot's of pictures. I guess I'm rubbing off a little bit on the kids. Maisey was an absolute pill most of the day. She would get really excited about seeing a certain kind of animal and if we tried to pry her away she would scream and throw a fit until we got to the next animal. It was a cycle the rest of the time we were there. I was laughing a little bit when she would see something she liked in the reptile place and she would just stand there like the animal was hers and give everyone a look like this is mine and don't even think about looking at it.
Overall we had a good time. Later we headed up to Logan for my niece Kenzie's Birthday party. We had some yummy food and the kids played with all of their cousins.
