TA-DAA

There is NO laundry in the baskets!! Have I finished? WOW!! That does not happen very often. This definitely needed to be documented.

If you looked at my laundry room/storage/pantry/hope-to-be-my-room, soon :)

the baskets are probably still empty, not because I'm all caught up (that is an annual event)but, because everyone just throws the dirty laundry, on the floor, in front of the washer!! Everyone...except Carter. I was doing laundry and he came flying in with his socks and looked at the baskets and read W-I-T-ZZ and threw his socks in the "whites" basket. It was adorable. You have got to love that kid!

Jalia in Action

Jalia had a soccer game Sat. They all played really

Jalia played defense. She did great.

Picking Perfect Peaches at Papa's Place

WHO NEEDS A FORK??

Gracie's favorite food, right now is Ramen noodles and she refuses to use a fork. She balls them up in her hands and then eats away. It's a site. I hope she grows out of this FAST! I know I only encouraged it by taking pictures...but you've got to document this stuff. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NELS

Happy 37th Birthday.

I was trying to come up with a cute story

for your birthday and I decided to share

this one. When Nels and I were first married

we would end every phone call with ERR, ERR, KISS, KISS.

I'm not even sure if he remembers...but it means

Hugs and kisses. We were (are) sooo cheesey!

It's what love does to ya!

I love you.

Thanks for being so wonderful!

(can you picture Nels saying that? LOL)

We Miss Our Photographer

Timari is an amazing photographer. We miss her and all the pictures she would take. She always dressed them up, did hair, make-up and headed outside for the perfect pictures. I wanted to share some.
Without her around, fewer and fewer pictures are being taken. I try....but she took her cameras :) I do use Brogan's now, though.
We miss you so much, Timari. Love you- like crazy!!

Always an Adventure

This is a Great story...

Monday, was Labor Day and I decided it was going to be a "LABOR" day, at our house. I told the kids and Nels we were all going to work and get things done (didn't know I was that mean, huh?...make them work on their day off) We got a few things done here and there, made a bigger mess in the house, by finding and unpacking some boxes, Brogan and Carter dug up 155 goat head weeds, and by evening the weather was perfect for burning. We had a HUGE pile of weeds and branches that needed burning. Nels lit the pile and it went up in an instant. It was GIANT (for only about 5 min). The boys were so excited they could hardly handle it. What is it about fire and boys/men? Anyway, they ran outside to join the fun, Gracie was asking for "marsnellows", and Kelsey went out too, for a minute. She said " OHH, the fire department is showing up for this one", Carter was so excited about that..he said "REALLY, when?". I told him the fire department was NOT going to come, and flashed Kelsey the "don't say that", look. Kelsey and I went back into the house and a few minutes later we hear sirens coming from down the road. WHAT!! REALLY!! Is that for us? The boys came in saying, "Dad said to come in"...just about that time a firetruck pulled into our drive way- lights, sirens and all. I thought it was hilarious and was hoping Nels was thinking the same thing. Guess what we learned? You need a permit to burn and the fire Nels was burning was too big even if he had a permit. Who knew? The firemen were nice and Nels did not get a ticket. He did have to put the fire out, though. They told Nels that three other trucks were also on there way, because of all the calls they recieved. People were claiming structures were on fire. It made our night. Atleast, I know what I have to do to get firemen here? :) (kidding!!)

If our neigbors were unaware that the "Moores" were back....they know now. "The Moore's are back in town" (sang to the tune of "the boys are back in town")

Gracie Starts Pre-school

Look what I found..old pictures

Ryan and Brogan
Jalia and Brogan
Kelsey
and Nels (jalia is on his shoulders)...you are looking hot, Babe. Lovin' the

shorts.."whose got short shorts?...He's got short shorts" :)

Everyone can blame me for the boots, though.. I forgot to pack his other shoes...oops!

I was working on getting organized (funny, I know) and found an old disc with these pictures on them and I wanted to share with all. I can hardly believe how much my kids have grown. Enjoy..I know I did.
I love old pictures.

Kelsey starts 10th grade

Gorgeous!

I can not believe she is in the 10th grade.

First Day of School

Carter started 1st grade. He really just wanted to stay in kindergarten forever. His nerves were put at ease, not by me, but by seeing his kindergarten teacher, Miss Barnett (the cutest, sweetest teacher, ever). She gave him a hug and he wouldn't let go...REALLY...he held on tight for a good 5 minutes. It was so sweet. He loves her. She told him she would visit him in his new class room. Everything was good after that and after finding Jon and Russell.

Jalia started 5th grade. She has an AMAZING teacher, Mrs Fadgen, that she also had in the 2nd grade and Brogan had in 2nd and 5th. She is practically part of the family.
Jalia had a great day. She loves school, she loves to be with friends, and she loves her teacher.

Brogan is in 7th grade. He is in Kuna Middle School. He enjoyed meeting his teachers and has a few favorites, already. He was able to open his locker and only got lost once so that made for a great day.

A BIG BIG thank you to Aunt Sissy, who started a wonderful tradition when Timari started kindergarten, of buying the kids their "first day" outfit. She has done it every year and the kids look forward to it. THANKS SIS. I love you.

Carter Wayne

Meet the soon-to-be-famous......"CARTER WAYNE".

He got a guitar for his birthday. He has been asking for one for a while now.

He writes all his own songs (not kidding) and sings them to us.

You gotta love it.

**scroll to the bottom and turn off the music..you don't want to miss him singing :)

Carter Wayne

Carter and his buddies

Carter is so proud of his friends. (John and Russell)

He just loves them.

The three were in the same kindergarten class

and will now be in the same 1st grade class together.

I was so excited for Carter.

An Official Aggie

We took Timari to Logan so she can attend Utah State.
It was HARD.
When she was little I read the "What to Expect" books. They were packed full of info...how you are suppose to feel when your expecting, how you were going to feel after giving birth, how to handle a one year old, how to make it through the terrible twos, so on and so forth....
any way...WHY is there not a book about sending your child to college? I could have used one. I guess I will write it.
It will be called "What to Expect When Your Child leaves for College" Look for it. :)
I've come to the conclusion, that the feelings you have when you are a new parent are the same when you send one to college.

I'll write more later. Maybe....

SHOUT OUT!!!!

A shout out to the BEST, MOST GERNEROUS, THOUGHTFUL, KIND, CARING, LOVING, SILLY, FUN TO BE AROUND, KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT CARS, DAD (Pa-Pa) in the world.......

You are amazing. I love you so much. Thanks for all you do and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Sorry this is a day late :)
