Our Trip to Logan

We went to Logan for Mothers Day. It was a fantastic day and
Timari was finally able to meet Josie.

Josie's 1st Cast

We went to the orthoapedic doc on thursday and they put Josie's first cast on. She will go back every week for a new cast until they get her foot turned. When her foot is finally turned she will wear a brace. She is doing great.
This is what her foot looked like before casting.

Grace being a fantastic big sister

I love this picture of Grace. Josie was a bit fussy and Grace popped her finger in her mouth without a second thought and without missing a minute of Word World, one of her favorite shows. It worked!! Josie was happy a fell back to sleep. I thought it was so funny.

Good thinking, Grace. :)

Sweet baby Josie

This is what Josie does with her toes. Don't you just love it?
Ohhh...Sweet.
I can't even express in words how blessed I feel. My heart is so full!

Josie Paradise Moore

Welcome...Josie Paradise Moore.

She was born on April 29.

She weighs 8 pds 3 oz.

21 inches long

What a wonderful, sweet little spirit we have been

blessed with.

Carter is very proud
The Moore Family ( minus Timari...who we miss tremendously)

She was born with a club foot, but we were already prepared for that, because they saw it in the ultra sound. It's really pretty cute. She does have an appt on Thurs with an orthopedic doc.

Gracie is HAPPY to be a big sister, Now!! She can't get enough of her.

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.

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.
