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.

Give -a - way!!!!!

Hey People,  Go quick to this link.  I am blown away by this giveaway item.  I know you all want in the give-a-way and this is cool.  

Heart, Peg - mumovearls.blogspot.com - get in on it!

Point Of Origin

Annual Pilgrimage So, Parker and I took the little window we had and trekked over to L.A. to celebrate our Anniversary. We do this because we were married in the L.A. Temple some 34(wow that's a lot!)years ago and we try to revisit that lovely spot whenever we can on our Anniversary. We were blessed to get to see Rob's current show, "All Night Strut" which was very entertaining and fun. We got to stop by the Point of Origin of the Moffat Family, AKA the L.A. Temple which was under seige by the protesters of the passage of prop 8. then we hurried home to Madison's Closing night performance of "Cash on Delivery" (Side brag - "Cash on Delivery" Took State! - She will be performing @ the State Thespian Conference for over 2,000 of her peers on the 22nd of Nov. Woo Hoo!) So don't you love it when two pictures are side by side and you have to guess what is different . Well look at the two photos above and see if you can identify any changes. What? You don't see any changes? Well I don't either. We've come a long way baby! Happy Anniversay to the Hamblins and Raines on Nov. 7th Also! Good Day for a Wedding I might say.

Headline Reads: Baby Votes in National Election!

Read all About it! 

 Actually that headline might as well be a tabloid.  The "Baby" is Madison and while not literally a baby in the true sense, she is the baby of the family,

 is just 18,  and an official Adult and as such all these milestones need to be marked.  

 But she is more of a "babe" if you want a humble yet correct opinion. Getting up at the.... dare I say (butt) crack of dawn to do her civic duty and waiting in line before the polling place opened.  Yea, that is a babe for sure, having previously marked her pamphlet and getting the official 

"I Voted Today" 

sticker for all to see is worth a mention. Go Madison, and Yeah for the Good Ole U.S. of A.  Let's see what today brings.  We love America no matter what the outcome and God Bless us everyone.  

Homecoming / Cash On Deliveryetc.

It happens every fall about this time...... !Homecoming! Here's Madison as she attended her last Homecoming Carnival/Game/Dance this weekend. She looked great and had a great time. Her date was Nathan Dandridge... Fall Play Cash On Delivery Publicity Picture Make your plans to see "Cash On Delivery" the play, or shall I say British Farce, Madison is in Next Week. It runs @ Mesa High School Auditorium November 4th - 8th. Very Funny and Madison is great as"Linda". TTFN. (Tah Tah For Now!)

It was Grand!

Grand Children! Oh yea, Grand children are the best. I loved the chance I had to be with Jacie and Cameron, Oh, and their Mom and Dad too! What a great place their home is and it was a treat for me to get some quality time doing what I love to do.

Here's us reading stories, working puzzles, going on walks and just having fun. A Grand Performance! It was my pleasure to get to see Emily in "My Fair Lady" @ the Pioneer Theater in SLC. Honestly I was very impressed by the production. Of course, don't tell anyone this, but I would love to have seen Emily as Eliza Doolittle. She would have rocked in that role, though she was awesome in the ensemble.

Here's a few of the grand faces Jacie made for me.

Thanks to all who made my visit wonderful. I love you, Heart Peg, G-Ma, etc!

While You Were Out! "18"

It's official. Maddi can now vote(already registered), sign herself in and out of school, and go on single dates. The good news is that she only wants to do the first thing.Cute friends showed up with breakfast @ 6:00 am. So yesterday being her big 1-8, Parker and I did a little "While you Were Out" in honor of the day. We had bribed with new bedding, room makeover etc. You see she has been beyond focused on School throughout the entire summer. It was to the point that she didn't really get a summer, or to be a kid much. Just ask her friends. So Thursday the 11th was the last day of Independent Study Classes, Yesterday being the 12th and her "Legal" Birthday, and since she was going to be gone till evening, we had her room to our selves. Behold the change. Ta DaH!Nothing that a little paint, a saw, and some serious sweat couldn't manage. I tell ya, Parker and Monty puttin' their heads together and here's what we got. Thanks to Mac and Cammy for the bed a la Bedknobs and Broomsticks! She was very pleased. Thanks to Meg for the shout out from DC and for the calls and cards and e-cards. Maddi is loved and her Birthday was a huge success! Happy Birthday you adult you.
