My "boyfriend" and I  got to spend the weekend in So. Cali.  and got to do the things we love to do  and together.  

Let's see ....Crab Cooker, 

Disneyland -

 Free on your B-Day  - do it it's very fun!  

Bal-Bars (short for Balboa Bars...as in the Island) and Frozen Bananas 

(I think Parker had 5 and we were there 4 days!  Do the math)

Walking on Balboa Island, Running into Cousins that we love and having a visit,  

Playing at the beach with Craig (Frisbee involved)(what no picture?)and the Kidos, 

A Movie, 

actually a fav.

Pinkberry  ...uh yum

(In my humble opinion, the very best frozen yogurt in the world!) 

Have it with kiwi and almonds...sh...

Swap meet,  

Special Family Wedding (again, no pictures, but great visiting!)

and 

Three nights of perfect sleeping @ the Hyatt Regency Irvine 

brought to you by Priceline.com.  

Priceless....  

Just like having a reset button.  

Ah.....

Two X Four!

Finally you say........... So, Two years ago (OMGosh) I challenged my quilt 2 groupies (Cross Point Ward Quilters) to a summer challenge. I gave them all a piece of this:and they were to make a block - 12" using this piece, a bit of muslin somewhere, and any other fabrics they saw fit, any pattern, just go for cute. They were to make 9 of their one block and then we would exchange and each of us would do with those 9 sampler blocks whatever we wanted. This one was mine just FYI.Well....... FF to '09 and finally this quilt is not only finished, fabulously quilted by my friend Gail Earl from Moses Lake Washington,but now hanging in the quilt shrine spot for all to see that it can be done! It's name?....... Well that's a problem for me.....I usually come up with a name right away, but this time not so much. (I have had some stuff on my mind) Any Ideas? Here is one of the great blocks that shows off the quilting. Yum.I am thinking that someone who might come up with a name for this might just win a little prize. You know a fabric treat of some kind.... hint... so get going now. Name idea deadline is Sat. Eve. 9:00pm on the 20th. I will choose then. I also just wanted to say that this is # 4! If anyone wanted to know. Remember that I am finishing 9 quilts in '09.(see feb. 25, '09 post) This would be #4. And it only took two years! Done, Done, and Done! Sigh...........

First Things First!

Thanks to Shellene for her expertise! 

Love the above!

You know, that time of year has come around again, you know the one.  Some people say it's a tougher month than December, what with 

Mother's Day, 

end of the year school projects, finals, award assemblies, the heat(oh the heat!) Graduation and in our case a

  Wedding (12 days) 

there just doesn't seem to be any down time(you can tell there is no down time because we are behind on "House").    

Well, now that Madison is finished with Seussical the Musical, has bowled her last frame(for her P.E. credit)been 

Oriented @ ASU - Go Sun Devils!

and tonight received the award for outstanding student in

Theater ARTS!!!  

We can now sail through to Graduation. 

 Congrats Madison!  

You have been a joy to raise and you will make a difference where ever you go.  We love you and wish you all the best.  

Go Graduates of '09 -

 Carry ON!

It's official!

So.... the events of the weekend unfolded

and these two are engaged!

What? The Date is May 23rd. Yup! Operation O.F. We couldn't be more pleased. Visit Meg's Blog for more details.

Makin' Headway!

So, I don't know who copy-catted who(Glenna) but I, like many of you made a goal to finish 9 quilts in 2009. It was one of the nine things I wanted to accomplish this year. Did I share those things.... uh ...well no. Why, you ask? Well, say you are doing fine on some of them and not so fine on others well you do the math. Here, I am sharing one good thing that is getting accomplished and it's only Feb. 25th.! Woo Hoo! Number One -

The above is called Cookies From Home Double - Nine Patch and you could win it @ the MHS Choir - Spaghetti Dinner/Raffle - this Thurs. Feb 26th see Peg for Tickets.Number Two -

A Very "Mary" Sampler - finally finished after our Harmony Park Block of the Month season. Number Three "Stringing You Along" has been in the works for years. I have to name my quilts, so pardon me if the names worry you. Just get out more, give service, eat some chocolate, you'll be O.K. All 9 quilts are in the Queue. You know a list, an order to be accomplished, etc. I have 6 more that are in various stages of completion and those are the 9 that will be finished by Month 9 of 2009 or my name ain't Peg! I will fill you in as they get finished. Sh....don't tell... One more is off to Gail to be quilted as we speak. I'm really making headway.

Living the life..... blog wise...

Vicariously that is. I promised myself I would blog more often. Didn't happen, but some of my people did. I said I would document Christmas, you know, make and send cards , write a newsletter etc. Not yet. But there were some who did. Thought I would update you on the family happenings. Nope. But.... there were others with updates. Welcome to my goofy life. I mean you are welcome to it. Just a little list of what we have been up to: Parker making lots of teeth and videos, Catching up on House, Lost, and now Chuck. Believe that. Me: Making Quilts, planning music for upcoming Conference, planning a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser, hosting a Super bowl bash complete with 3D glasses(get 'em before they run out)!, auditions for Charlie Brown(what, again?), trying to think up an original Sweetheart Dinner, running after Madison and her 50 things a day(don't miss Cash on Delivery), keeping up with a whirlwind romance with that one girl of ours and staying in touch with the one's who no longer live under our roof. So, when you catch a glimpse what some of my offspring are up to, just know that somewhere close by there is a mom hanging on for dear life..... and smiling. Happy February(why is it spelled that way?) It could be March before you hear from me again. Eh, Oh well! Pictures later dude!

We are In L.O.V.E.

Apparently, The Female Parental Unit @ this abode must have red to survive.

So, When Christmas Came Down today,

It was replaced to some degree by Valentine's Day -

AKA Red and White to the Max., which we celebrate to an obnoxious degree. Just you wait for the update on Sweetheart Dinner, an annual Family Celebration of Love and Nonsense that is not to be missed whenever possible. (this was last year's Chinese New Year Theme)

Meanwhile please enjoy a little change of scenery @ the Moffat Casa and some music to go with

it! Scroll down to the very bottom to hear some of our faves 'o Love. We Heart You....... p.s. Sorry it's taken me so long to get a new post up and running. We had a great Christmas (home-made style)and are in denial about the New Year and it's resolutions.
