AZ State Fair and Wickie Stix

We had to go to the fair this year. Lenard had some winning art on display. Duh! It was awesome and we were glad we got to go. Lenard, you should have winning art every year to give us a good excuse to go. Great job by the way. We haven't been in ages.


The candy cane train.




The high, high, high, Ferris wheel with Grandma.



For Aunt Christi's birthday we went to Red White and Brew. She had never been there, can you believe it. Yummie food and the best part, instead of crayons, they give the kids Wickie Stix!!! The kids loved is and so the adults loved it too. The kids were very creative. After the meal I looked over at Isaiah and he was spelling out his name with them. He did the whole thing by himself and it was his idea. Pretty good for a 4 year old.

Some of this and some of that.

So there is this place over on the reservation where they grow all these amazing plants and trees and gardens. It is only open to the public on Saturday mornings. It is so amazing. They sell farmers market stuff and seeds and give all kinds of hints and tips for growing stuff in AZ . They also sell mulch and the fancy restaurants in Scottsdale send out their top chefs and they cook in a brick oven and give away samples. It is so awesome. The best part is, not too many people know about it and it is really low key. They have goats and chickens. We had a great time. Can't wait to go again. Gotta get my mulch.



Just chillin' on the stump!



Whenever Rae Dawn and Jim come to town they like to get together for lunch. The really like the Cracker Barrel. Last time we were there they had this sign. I wanted to steal it for the Moores but this is the best I could do.

Birthday cakes and other stuff

Our home teacher brought us some funky squash and Kevin stuffed them and cooked them on the barbie. And yes they were as good as they look. It was some kind of seafood stuffing. I think Kevin may have missed his calling......

Isaiah wanted a "Toothless" cake. His mom just wanted to by one so I said that I would give making it a shot. Well, This is what he got. It tasted really good!




Susan did make my birthday cake, It was yummy too. I especially liked the candy corns. Good call Susie. And Thanks.

We didn't make Kevins cake. Bet you couldn't tell it was a Dairy Queen ice cream cookies and cream special.
