The Chuckwagon.

The Grogan clan is turning into such hicks! But we are enjoying the transformation! We were told to go the the Chuckwagon feast that is once a year when Caldwell has their rodeo...so of course when food is involved...we listened. The event was at the college near the rodeo.

Crookham farms plants corn just for this event every year and donates all of it to the chuckwagon event. The money that is made goes to the youth of Caldwell. They served a pulled pork sandwich, salad, potatoes, corn, cake, and soda.
I have never had corn fresh off the stalk...off the farm...YUM!!! And the good news was....it was all you can eat! The kids loved it too! No salt or butter was needed, it was that yummy!

The singing Mayors....the mayors of Caldwell and Nampa...and yes they really are the mayors and yes they perform at events all over the valley.
The kids even made friends...

I <3 him!!

Wesley is the cutest kid...sorry but he is. { I guess I am a bit biased (: } He was listening to music in the car one afternoon with us and I turned my head toward him and saw him singing and enjoying the fresh air. He is the funniest kid! He finds joy in everything!

This is for my Dad

We were driving down the road in Boise and saw these huge Eagles flying around...and we watched them fly to their nest. Dave thought it was very cool and thought my Dad would've thought so too. It is amazing to see all the wildlife here...it is everywhere...quail, deer, peacocks, fish, not so wild..cows, horses, etc. 


Coupon Class!

I was excited when Sarah, creator of the Thrifty Mom decided to do another coupon class. It was a fun night. I learned a little bit more about how to get more out of my money and to be more frugal. There were about 80 women there to learn her system and how to use coupons in the most effective way. Sarah and I even carpooled over to the Marriott for the class. (: It was fun to get to know her a little bit more. 

This lady looking at the camera...crazy...I was just taking pics of the whole room...Sarah and I made sure we were'nt followed when we left...crazy...she is Sarah's biggest fan. (:


Girls Night!!

Me, Kamalyn, Brooke, Renee, JoAnna, and Rebecca

Ok....so, I have to admit that I felt like I was cheating on my wonderful Cali friends a bit, but I still had fun! (: The wives of Palmer and ENP all went out to dinner together...it was a blast and we need to do it again! Luckily...all or most of us were friends before our husbands worked together! These are a great group of ladies!! Had alot of fun!!
