Have I mentioned how wonderfully talented my husband is? He is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Right before the 4th of July he decided to make hanging baskets to sell. Brilliant!! I took this picture from the window because I love to watch him build things. :)

This is the final product. Beautiful!!

josie's 1st 4th :)

all tuckered out!

Every week when I travel to SLC for Josie's foot Timari, and Aunt Amy also make their way down. Timari drives from Logan and Amy drives from Orem. It has been so nice to spend time with them. It is also so neat that Timari is able to get to know her baby sister on a weekly basis.

Another casting...this makes 8

My heart melts when......

...she smiles

Josie's recent visit to Shriners

Josie's is doing very well. She will get another cast next week and then surgery the following week. After surgery she will wear a cast for 3 weeks and if all goes well she will move on into braces.

This is what her foot looks like now.

She gets to take a bath after they take the cast off, and before they put on the new one. She has come to LOVE them.

Her hair is curly when it is wet...very straight, and sticking up everywhere when it is dry.

Josie's Blessing Day

Josie Paradise Moore...

What a wonderful blessing you are.

A special "Thanks" to all who came to Josie's blessing. We love and appreciate you all so much.
Love- The Moore Family

Kicking back after 5th cast....

Putting on cast...

Josie's foot is doing amazing. We love Shriners and feel so blessed. They will do a few more castings and will decide for sure about surgery, then she will be fitted for braces.

Jalia's new doo

Jalia decided to donate her hair to Locks of Love.

Josie

I love this picture of Grace and her friend Sam. They just wanted to sit and watch Josie sleeping, while they ate their popsicles.

I often just watch her sleep, too. She is SO sweet.

Sweet Josie

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!
