A fun afternoon with the Arizona cousins

We were all so excited to see my sister’s kids come to Texas to visit. It’s hard to believe that it has been a year since they moved from Texas. I cannot believe how much they have all changed in a year. Where does the time go? It amazes me how you can get kids in a room together and they can pick up and you would never know that they were ever apart. They all immediately started playing and chasing each other around. It felt like old times and it was great. I am so happy to see that they are all so happy and doing so well.

Summer Fun at the spray park

Our ward has a play group and this week we met up and went to the spray park. The kids had a great time playing together. I think that every kid complained at least once that someone was spraying them. We had to remind them that they were at a spray park and that is what happens. We had lots of fun spending time with friends.

On behalf of Zhu Zhu Pets and Mom Select we were given the opportunity to have a Kung Zhu Party for our son Payton and in return give our opinion on their new product. I had two very excited children when a huge box arrived at our door. I remember the excitement about Zhu Zhu pets around Christmas and how hard they were to find during the holidays. It wasn’t until after the holidays that I could find them for my children. Since my kids don’t have real pets they love these realistic, interactive, plush hamsters that talk and move around.

Payton was excited that the Kung Zhu Pets were geared more towards boys and are along the same line of the Zhu Zhu pets, just more appealing to boys.



We received a box of everything needed to host this party with the new Kung Zhu Pets. The box was fully equipped with hamsters, playset, and accessories. It took Chad just over an hour to set up the entire arena. The kids have been anxiously waiting to have their party and wanted to wait for their cousins to come from Arizona. Savannah has been so excited that she even made blankets for everyone’s pets. The cousins finally arrived and it was time to have our party. The party was a hit and each child was very excited to pick out their own Kung Zhu Pet and battle armor or tank. The children’s ages ranged from 3 to 12 years old; a good mix of ages so I could get varied opinions. From youngest to oldest, they seemed to have a great time and were very interested and excited.

Kung Zhu hamsters are split into two battling groups called Special Forces and Ninja Warriors. The hamsters look and sound like regular Zhu Zhu Pets but are transformed into ninjas and warriors once they are sent into their main training grounds with the smart chip technology.

They are powered by placing the Kung Zhu hamster underneath the smart chip and letting it go. As the tanks move forward, they do separate things. One tank has grabbing pincers, while another has missles that fire. There are four tanks in all. Battle Armor is also set on each hamster, giving them a special boost when battling.







Overall I would give these pets a great review. My kids have enjoyed playing with them. I love that you can play with just the pets alone or add in any number of accessories to mix it up. The kids had a lot of fun with just playing with the Kung Zhu pet and a set of armor, and the vehicles are really fun, too. Payton’s favorite addition piece would be the battle arena. He likes to put his pet in there and battle Savannah’s pet. They push each other around, do tricky spins, and try to “win” by knocking the other Zhu Zhu over.



A huge thanks to Mom Select and Zhu Zhu Pets for the box of Kung Zhu Pets, armor and accessories; the party was a huge hit and all the children love them. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to participate in your program.
