Baby Motzart....Logan

Logan has shown lots of interest in playing the piano as well. 

The Sound of Music

So Saturday after the estate sale, Das picked up a trailor to bring home the piano.  For as beat up and old as it is, it is not to out of key.  

Now all I need to do is find a bench, and paint it.  Any one have suggestions on the color I should do? 

The boys have loved it.  We have had to put time limits on it, cuz they are always "making up" new songs.  Sometimes its a little to much to handle.  But I am so excited to have them start taking lessons and even more excited that they are excited.  I will have to pick up all my sheet music from my moms and start playing again as well.

Fiesta Con Amigos

It was that time again.  Dinner club with our friends.  This month was Frank and Joanna's turn to host.  They just bought a beautiful home in Holladay.....errr...I mean East Millcreek?  Is that better Frank?*Comment he left.  But for the record....I'm not sure that it really matters. lol       

We got a sitter for Tristan and Ashton, but took Logan with us. 

Everyone was able to make it.  The food was delicious and company was wonderful as usual.   I need those recipes! 

It was being hosted during the Utah/BYU game, so they were sure to have the tv on so we could watch.  Das and I had it recorded at home though just in case.   

After everyone filled their bellies, we moved into the family room for a good game of Werewolves.  I am sure it is a fun game, but we weren't able to stay to find out.  It seems we are always a half hour later coming home then we tell our sitter we will be. 

Logan sat o Kelly's lap during the whole game.  And then he fell asleep in her arms. 

We had a fantastic time!  Thanks Pedrozza's for having us in your lovely home.  Looking forward to the next dinner club.

Utah vs. BY Who? Go UTES

 I text my nephew Taylor Friday night and asked him if he wanted to help me paint the U sign on my front lawn with spray paint.  He was down for it.

So Saturday afternoon he and his girlfriend Paige pulled up at my house already sporting Ute flags from his car.  I pulled out the spray paint and he got to work.  All though I hadn't bought nearly enough, so we had to make a trip to the store.

After he did his outline, Paige and I helped him fill it in.  I believe it took around 12 cans of spray paint.  So worth it though.  We will definitely be doing it again next year. 

Das was just getting home from his bike ride and had to take a shower for our night out.  I took the boys out for some pics in their Utah gear.  Some neighbors came out showing their love for our sign, while others wanted to grab their mowers.  I love the fun little wars between the neighbors.  Maybe next year BYU fans. 

Das went out after the game with the left over spray paint and marked the score.

54-10

Saturday Lunch

Das signed himself up to participate in the Salt to Saint bike ride.  This was him soaked after his first leg.  It was strange having him gone for the night.  I've gotten so use to him being home.  We definitely missed him, all though it was only one night.  He will blog more about his adventures when he receives the pics.  I am very proud of him though.  I don't think I could have made it through. 

Since he wasn't going to be home until Saturday evening, I got together with my bff Amy and went to my favorite place...The Spaghetti Factory.  Tristan ate his food and Ashton's.  And then he ate his ice cream....and then Ashton's. lol  Oink Oink! 

It as delicious as always, and wonderful spending time with Amy and her little girl Adyson.  All though, Adyson is 5 months older than Logan.....she is just a little thing.  She is a very happy little girl and Logan was quite entertained by her.  Tristan and Ashton were so concerned about her climbing the stairs.  Tristan was especially protective.  I think its time for another baby.  A girl would be nice....but I doubt it will happen.  I do love my boys though.  They are the best boy ever.

October Fest

A couple of weeks ago Das's good friend Dan came into town with his cute girlfriend Angie.

Dan decided to get a room up at Snowbird since Angie hadn't been to Utah before and he wanted to show her the mountains.  Their room was the top floor and looked down into the lobby.  The boys thought they would be cute and make paper airplanes to throw down.  The planes dropped straight to the ground. lol

Dan had no idea that October Fest was going on the same exact time.  It worked out perfect for them.  Dan invited Das and I up for dinner and to meet Angie.  But unfortunately we couldn't work out a sitter.  So we went up for lunch instead.

I have only been to October Fest once or twice before many many years ago.  And I never had a chance to try the food.  We all got brats with sauerkraut and potato pancakes. YUMMY!

We were fortunate to grab a great seat and sat back to enjoy the entertainment and food.

I love watching all the people dressed up dancing.  Especially the really old ones that can barely even move.

Afterward we walked around the shops and shared stories.  And got to know Angie a little better.

It was so beautiful up there!  I wish we took more advantage of living by these gorgeous mountains.

Dan and Angie make a perfect couple.  I really enjoyed getting to know her better, and hope we get to see them again soon. 

We were going to take the lift up and ride the zip line or alpine slide down, but the line was to long, so we just rode it up and took off.    We had a great time and thanks Dan for inviting us up!

Another weekend gone.....

Yesterday Das and Tristan came in with arm fulls of tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and jalapenos.  So I started to look for recipes to use them all.

On Pinterest.com, they have so many fun and yummy recipes.  I came across a baked Parmesan tomato recipe.

You slice the tomatoes in half, sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, fresh Parmesan cheese, and a splash of olive oil.  Then bake at 450 for 15 minutes.  They look delicious....but they were just OK.  Probably be better with mozzarella and basil on top.  I will try that next time. 

Next I found a baked zucchini sticks with a sweet onion dip.  After slicing the zucchini, you sprinkle with salt and let sit for an hour. This method helps the zucchini to sweat out moisture.

You then dip into egg and roll in the mixture.(Parmesan, Italian spices, and panko bread crumbs.)  Cook at 450 for 15 minutes. 

The dip was really tasty.  You caramelize onions and then mix in food processor with apple cider, mustard, mayo, and olive oil.  I will definitely be making it again. 

My favorite.....chocolate chip zucchini bread.

Touchdown!

So far, I have learned a great deal about football and I am actually enjoying it.  The U game was a good game last night.  So close!  Looking forward to the games today and to see how I do in my first week of fantasy football.  Unfortunately I don't have an Bears players on my team.  And I have the QB on the opposing team they are playing today.  Should be fun to watch. 

Also on pinterest.com I came across a fun tutorial to make your hair wavy.  You are suppose to twist it while it is wet and sleep on it.  I just was playing around late last night and did it dry.  I liked the end result.  Next time I will try it wet, and put a little more effort into it.

It was Das's turn to teach primary today.  I stayed home with Ashton since he keeps getting a fever and I don't want to take him out.  I have such an awesome husband.  He is so good to us.  Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.  I know I am!
