Happy 16th Kelsey

Kelsey turned 16 on April 23. Happy Birthday.

We love you, sweetie. We love your strenth, your heart, your love for your family, and the young women you have become. You are an amazing example to all of us. I hope you had a wonderful birthday.

Happy Easter

We had our Easter egg hunt and dinner with my family on Sat. It was alot of fun. I LOVE being with my family. They are the best. And we have the best time together.

These kiddos could hardly wait for Papa's famous egg hunt. This picture tells alot about how HUGE it is. They have multiple Easter buckets, backpacks, and even a toy shopping cart all ready to race outside. I love it.

Ready...Set...GO!

Time to see what you got in your eggs.

Kelsey found the most money.

Spring Break at Timari's

We spend every spring break with my sister and her kids. We always have so much fun. This year we decided to stay close (something about me being pregnant :) ) but then we decided to go visit Timari and see her apartment and invade her space, basically. It was great. We couldn't do any outside activities because it was snowing, but she did take us to some fun places. Thanks Timari!

On the road

A day at the Zoo

Sat. we spent the day at the Boise Zoo. We had a great time.

A great find

I found this fun picture in my file and wanted to share. It was from a 2006 Christmas Letter.

I had a great chuckle, this morning because..I also found the original picture (before edit). It really made me laugh.

This is what we all look like when we think someone is JUST taking pictures of our feet...not our face. We are a happy bunch. :)

Spring Soccer Season is in full Swing

Yes...soccer has started again. Can you believe it? Jalia played her first game of the spring season, this morning in 29 degree weather. Yikes! She did a great job, despite the cold, though. Way to go Jalia!

Our Aunt Sissy is SO cool...

This is what Carter looked like after spending the night at Aunt Sissy's. He loves being with his cousins and loves the blue spiked hair Sissy did for him.
This is Gracie and her new hair style that Sissy did. She had light pink, dark pink, blue, and silver in her hair. Her hair is still pink....after almost two weeks. Thanks Sis. :)

Ryan (cousin) wanted to help Gracie play basketball. He is the sweetest kid around.

Gracie loves him so much. I heard her tell some friends today, that she is "in love" with her cousin Ryan because he is so nice.

I love this picture. Thanks for taking it, Sis. And thanks for watching the kids.

Jalia's New Hat

Jalia and I went to the mall and book store for our "date"

and she found this adorable hat. She loves it. So far she

has worn it everyday!

We are amazed at how much she looks like Timari.

She does....doesn't she? Or are we just missing

Tim? Maybe, it's a little bit of both, but when we walked back

in the house Carter did think she was Timari. :)

Kelsey

Kelsey has been pretty busy this last week.....she has started driving, volunteering with the Special Olympics, and got her braces off. Out of those, I am going to have to tell you, that being a volunteer for the Special Olympics is at the TOP. When we pick her up (can't drive at night, yet), she has a smile that I can't even explain. She is having so much fun and has so many great stories. She is a wonderful example to us. "Way to get out there and do what you love, Punkie. We love you." :)

Happy 11th Birthday, "My Jalia Joy"

Jalia turned 11 on Friday. She had a fun birthday party on Sat. with a few of her friends and lots of her family, at a ceramic place and then back home for some fun singing competition. Kelsey made the cake, and Daddy made the pizza. We had a lot of fun.
11 things about Jalia...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY....MY SWEET, SILLY, SMILEY, SUNSHINE.

I LOVE YOU.

Roller Drome

Roller Drome

The kids Elementary schools had a fund raiser at the rollerdrome, last night. I wasn't able to skate but had Kelsey and Hayley help with Carter and Gracie. It was so fun to watch them. They had a blast. I am a bit dissappointed, in myself, that Jalia is 11 (birthday-today) and that was the first time she had ever been. When Tim and Kels were younger we went all the time. I LOVE roller skating. After this little bundle of JOY is born I'm going to try to get the kids skating more. It's so fun.

Talented Hubby

Just wanted to show off the frame Nels made for me. He was home early and decided to make me a frame for this beautiful picture. I am thankful for such a talented husband. He amazes me.

Little MISS Moore

We are excited to share the news that we are having a little girl. She is healthy and growing beautifully. She is 24 weeks. What a sweet blessing.

Merry Christmas

Christmas recap....

Christmas Eve the kids made cookies, opened their Christmas eve gift, which is always new pj's, and headed off to bed. They all sleep in the same bed. This year they slept in Ours (in the "pedry" room, a.k.a- my bedroom, laundry room, and pantry) It was a site. I couldn't even get all of them in the picture.
Christmas morning they have to sing Christmas songs until Nels and I get up. It is the best. I love hearing my kids sing. I have to admit that sometimes Nels and I just lay in bed and laugh. :) After we decide to get up, I take them their stockings and Nels goes and gets Grandma Gayle, Aunt Amy, and Uncle Jim. After all adults are settled in a spot the kids can come running in. I love it. It was wonderful.
Later, in the afternoon, we went to Mtn. Home and had Christmas dinner.
We had a wonderful Christmas and hope you did too.

Merry Christmas

TAA-DAA...The Moore Christmas Tree is up. We waited for Timari to be home and I am so glad. The tree is perfect.
P.S. Don't mind "shirtless Carter". He is always so hot (really! Crazy...i know) that he often sheds his clothing when he is at home. :)

Gracie's 5th Birthday

Road Trip...

Sat. we took a little road trip to Pocatello to visit Great Grandma Ruth. We had a wonderful time visiting and laughing with Grandma. She seems to be doing great! We were hoping Timari could meet us there but she already had plans to attend the BYU and USU basketball game.
