We are into everything

Blue and gold banquet

Whats that in her mouth? Yumm Yumm

Oh NO have we found the dog food.

Down the hatch. Now you know what is in her mouth.

This is what Mylee was doing why we were cleaning the kitchen. I think Mylee spells trouble.

Skunked

When you leave your dog outside why your out of town. You better watch out or s/he might end up like Goldie. Skunked Goldie has had 9 baths in 56 hours. She has had more baths now than she has had the whole year. But I can say for sure. that she is one of the cleanest dogs in Green River. The kids joined in on Tuesday helping give her a bath. I think we are all done for now with baths. The skunks better stay away.

We did it.

Life has been kinda crazy and we have not been able to get pictures up loaded. With that being said we have had a lot of fun exploring the parks again. We have really enjoyed playing and the nice weather that we have had. Sad thing was yesterday it started to snow again. Can't complain as we really need some moisture but will miss the sun for the next few days. As a mom of 4 very unique kids life can be more than a roller coaster. Add on top house shopping and my calling I have had more than enough to keep me busy. Yes Jim and I bit the big ticket and just yesterday put an offer in on the house listed before. We feel that this house can do so much for our family. It's location has a lot to offer with a a park across the street that even has a basketball hoop. We took the kids last night to see it and they went crazy. We are really praying that our offer is accepted and that we can close on it by the middle of April. Today I am stepping into the party world the about 15 10 year olds as we are having Miles' 10th party. He can not wait. He does not turn 10 until Tuesday but this was the best weekend for his party. Then Saturday I have my big Relief Society Forgotten Arts. It should be fun. I really hope a lot of sisters show up for it. It is an all day thing with homemade Jam, bread classes lunch and crafts. By Sunday I am sure I will be ready for a nap. So now that you are all caught up on what is going on in our little part of this world, Maybe next time we can have some pictures of parties and more. Praying for all of you. take it easy.

Crazy Last Week in a Nut Shell.

Marcus is built to wrestle. He loves everything about it. He still has never been pinned

This was Mason's first year wrestling. I am not so sure it is his thing. But he sure was cute to watch. He did not even care that he was pinned over and over again. This was on our crazy Wendnesday 11. 2 kids wrestling and Miles last Basketball Game. All on the same night at the same time.

It is so hard to get great pictures of Basketball. Miles has really come far this year in Basketball. Scoring as much as 12 points in a game. I think we found his fave.

Saturday Night we celebrated Madison's 4th birthday. She wanted a princess cake. This was the best mom could do with all that was going on Saturday.

Ready for the primary program.

All dressed in white ready to go and preform at the primary program. They all did great. Mason even gave a little side show. I always love watching my kids on stage.

On Tuesday I had another doctor's appointment to check on the baby. Looks like all is fine with our little bouncing M&M. S/he stretches and rolls. It is always nice to see your baby. I think I could watch the DVD over and over again. Very reassuring that the baby is healthy and doing good.

Marcus wrestling a kid who was a great match for him. This kid wrestles on the traveling team. We don't have the time or money for that team. Mason trying his best. He was wrestling kids weighing up to 20 pounds more than him. They had mistakenly put him in the wrong weight group. The kids could carry him on their backs. He was a good sport. I don't think he really understands the whole concept of it. This is a quick clip of our little bouncing M&M

Yes we are still alive.

Yes, the Moffat family is still alive. it has been a almost a month since I posted. One reason I have not posted is the mere fact that a post is not a post with out a picture and we lost the thing you put your SD chip in to transfer to the computer. Other reason is TIME. Our live has been busy with the end of a school year and baseball season. Both are officially done now. So all efforts in our house is catching up on what was neglected during Baseball season. With 3-4 games a week and a practice here and there plus a gardening enrichment, and Ward party (last 2 things mom was in charge of) we have not had much time for other things. We managed to have a successful school year for the boys. They are all excited about the thought of a new school (better school) and having Mason join them at school too. Mason will be in Kindergarten next year. Marcus will be in 1st grade and Miles in 4th. This is Miles' last year in Elementary school. Boy do they know how to make a mother sad and happy at the same time. Only one kid not in Elementary school. Madison is excited to be going to Young minds Preschool next year 2 times a week. As for now. All kids are doing Moffat summer school. They each have a folder with work in that they do every morning to keep the learning going. It does not take much time but I am a firm believer in year round learning. Miles is writing a story and a report on the Hoover Dam as part of his summer school. Both the Cardinal's and the Diamond Backs did great in Baseball Miles team lost 3 game that we know of as he was not able to make is Chuckee Cheese as the kids have not been there in over a yeat to his last game. In T-ball they don't keep score but we think they did great. Marcus was sad to hear that it was over. We have also enjoyed lots and lots of rain (it is coming down right now) so the kids feel as if summer might never come. So far since school was out we went to Utah 2 times. Once was to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house plur. Then a few days after this Miles got really sick so we visited Primary Childrens Hospital. After a stay of less than 24 hours and a jump on IV antibiotics he was discharged yesterday and is on the way to getting better. Who would have thought that in June you could get Bacterial Phenomena. He is glad to be home and never wants to go back. The worst part was the IV. He did love room service. The next 10 days will be filled with cleaning and packing. We are going on our first big family vacation. This is a vacation on a tiny, tiny budget. So that is why we choose Las Vegas. Because for less than $1,500 we can drive down there stay for 4 nights go to a Vegas show, ride the rides, and much more. We have hotel rooms for 23 a night and bought a Vegas pass to play for a great rate. Plus we can learn from Hoovers Dam. We had hoped to go to Disney Land but that would have been well over 5K for our family and that was not in the budget. Our kids are so excited to be going some were. We have shown them pictures on the Internet of were we are going and what we are doing so all I hear all day is how much longer till we go. I will try to post the daily agenda latter. All in all the Moffat bunch is happy, mostly healthy and ready to party in Vegas, Mormon style.

A bus,y busy, but fun week!!!

I remember when the kids were young and I could not wait for the day that I did not have to change diapers or get up in the middle of the night to feed a baby. I had thought that I would have more time. Boy was I wrong. This week was the start of Baseball season. Lucky for us we are here in Wyoming so Marcus and Mason are on the same team. With 3 boys playing ball. Each will have 2 games a week. Plus we have scouts and other school activities. This week was the first week of our crazy Baseball season. We also had the joy of having to finish up a Pinewood Derby car for the Pinewood derby and had fun with the Academic fair at Miles and Marcus School. Plus Mason was able to attend Kindergarten Round-up. If I was to talk to a young mom today about what the future holds, I would tell them to saddle up for a busy, crazy but rewarding life ahead. Academic Fair 09 Every Spring Truman Elementary Puts on a little Academic Fair to show off what the kids have been working on. The Art Teacher hung a piece of Art from each student that will also be in the County Fair. Plus they worked on Projects. Marcus is standing by his art rubbing. if you look close you can see his name. To the right of his head. Miles, with his Diorama. The each studied an endangered animal and then made a diorama of their living environment. Miles did his on the Bengal Tiger. He also had to right a page report.

The competition. Tough and Fierce!

Madison and Mason watching the Race. As all can see, by Miles race Mason was a little restless but Madison was sitting well and enjoying the race.

After studying the competition Miles and Jim have some idea's about what to do next year. Miles choose a Texas themed car, because we have just Moved from the Great state and it was an original idea. We look forward to all the many fun weeks ahead. With Primary activities, Mason's birthday, Scouts and all the Baseball fun for the year.
