The Peay Family

Day Out with Thomas

For Jaymz’s birthday we got him tickets to have a day out with Thomas the Tank Engine. Brandon and I were nervous that it would not be worth the money, but we had such a great time at the Herber Valley Railroad, spending the day with Thomas we think we may do it again next year!

Before going the the Heber Valley Railroad to see Thomas we had lunch at the “Home of the Train ~ Dairy Keen,” in Heber, if you don’t already know it is the cutest burger place there is.  They have a train that rides around the dining area for everyone to see and it usually has the Heber Creeper on it but this day they changed it to Thomas for the special arrival.

It was a chilly day but we wore our jackets and did all the activities they had planned for us, such as mini golfing, story time, and of course meeting Sir Topham Hatt.

Jaymz thought it was awesome to see a big Thomas and he love riding in the cars that Thomas pulled. We sat in the seat labeled James – Jaymz thought it was the coolest even though the picture doesn’t show it because he was not sure about standing on the seat.

Although Jaymz was a little disappointed when we said we were going to meet Thomas and take a picture that he was not able to get on him and ride him with the conductor so those pictures did not turn out the greatest.

I think the funnest thing we did all day was the free little diesel train car ride.  It was really fast and Jaymz loved zooming by Thomas!

All in all it was a great day that our little family enjoyed.

What’s for Dinner: Honey Lime Garden Salad

Sorry I have not been keeping up on my what’s for dinner blogs, life has been really busy here!  So here is one of our new favorite salads, we just do not add the peas anymore.  I love it; it is very light and fresh…great for summer BBQ’s.  We have also just had the salad all by itself, we just love it so much!

Arts & Crafts Party

Here are the scrapbook pages for Jaymz’s Arts & Crafts Birthday Party! I had so much fun planning this party, the only problem was coming up with the money because I had so many fun ideas (I ended up having to cut a lot of them out because of money and time). At the last minute we had to bring the party inside because of such a rainy morning which made us cut out wall painting and drawing on the sidewalk. Brandon thought of a game to do instead,  guessing what the items where on the t-shirt I made for Jaymz’s Big Day!  We also made sock puppets (a big hit with the kids) then ate goodies and had cake and ice-cream. We loved having everyone over for all fun!
