Fettuccine Alfredo

This is ONE meal my family ALL agrees on!  I have tried Fettuccine at so many restaurants and this one is still my favorite! I love to use Penne noodles instead of Fettuccine noodles, but feel free to use what you like!  It's all about the sauce!!!  

Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce
1/2 cup butter
1 (8oz) package of cream cheese
2-3 minced garlic cloves
2 cups milk
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp. pepper

Melt butter in medium saucepan.  Add cream cheese and garlic.  When cream cheese is mostly melted slowly add milk with a whisk to smooth out lumps.  Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper.  Remove from heat when reaches desired consistency.  Serve over your favorite noodles with some yummy veggies or grilled chicken!

I highly recommend you use Kraft Parmesan Cheese, and 

Philadelphia Cream Cheese!

Place to Visit- Neptune Park

NEPTUNE PARK- 452 W 400 N, Saratoga Springs, UT 84045

I've had this park on my list of places to visit for a long time, and finally this morning we went!  Such an amazingly FUN park!  We arrived at 8:45am and nobody was there!  By 9:45am the park was getting pretty busy!

A great space for BIG kids to play!

And a great space for LITTLE kids to play!

A fun stage area, basketball courts, big pavilion, bathrooms, soccer field, ton of grass area to play in, and paved walk-ways for scooters/bikes/blades.

For reals.  Such a cool park.  Unique things you haven't ever seen!

Even electronics incorporated!

Watching my daughter conquer this pyramid was awesome.  She was so proud of herself!  This is 1 of 3 like this in the world!

Prepare to get dizzy!  Lots of spinney features!

Have you seen a more unique rock wall?

Pack and lunch, head out early, and enjoy an awesome park!!

Host a Back to School Party!

My amazing Mother always hosts an awesome Back to School Party for her grand-kids!  They all LOVE it!!

The party always involves a yummy lunch, and of course cuteness!  Check out these awesome pencil Pringles, and pencil Rolos!  So cute!!

We usually just enjoy playing in water in her back yard, 

or one year we went to the splash pad!

One thing is certain.  We always make homemade ice cream.  THE BEST. Find out how to make it HERE or HERE. 

Cute themed toppings.... well of course!

So gather your family, gather your friends, and PARTY before school is back in session!

Free Lego Mini Builds Every Month!

Do your kids love Lego's as much as mine?  How about getting Lego's for FREE!!!  Every month at each Lego store they do FREE Lego Mini builds (Ages 6-14).  You register for a specific time, go into the store and build your free Lego set!  It is super fun, and going to the Lego store alone is worth the drive! (In Utah it is located at the Fashion Place Mall!)  

The tricky part?  Getting a spot.  You must register on the 15th of each month, for the following month at 9AM EST.  So that means if you live in Utah you must register at 7AM in order to get a spot.  They go so quickly.  Make sure you are registered as a VIP member before sign ups, so that you can grab a spot as quick as possible!

Don't forget to sing up for the FREE Lego Magazine!  My kids love it!

Feel free to print this tag 2X3, and brighten someones day!

"Those were the Days" Music Centerpieces

"Those were the Days"  music theme luncheon.

Thank you to http://somethingcreatedeveryday.blogspot.com/2011/07/tiered-records-candy-display.html   for the great idea to use old records to make a 2 tier centerpiece.  Everyone loved the new and unique idea.  Most of the people that come to the luncheon are from the "Record" era!!   

To make the 2 tier centerpiece I just used nuts, washers, extensions and acorn tops from Lowes Home Improvement store.  So easy to put together and take back apart for a new use sometime!!

It's all about the final touches!
