School Days

This year, Ethan is in 2nd grade, Kyle started Kindergarten and Sydney has preschool two a days week. They were all so excited to start school. The boys even told me the first day not to walk them to class because they were fine. We compromised and on the third day I dropped them at the front. Sydney is just thrilled to be like her brothers and really loves to bring a lunch. So far, we have had no phone calls from the school office or any other fun situations to deal with....maybe this year the principal will not know my children by name!

New to the World of Bloggers

Every day I find that my children are learning new things, making me laugh or testing my patience. My friends and husband are constantly teaching me things or motivating me to be better and what better way to remember these things that on a blog. Plus, I realized if blogs are mentioned as an everyday occurance at General Conference then I must really be outdated. So here is my attempt at blogging....be patient!!!

First Black Eye

S (our girl) , 31/2 years-old, fell off of the couch onto a bench and now has her first black eye.....hopefully her last! She was freaked out at first and then when she saw the bruise on her face, thought is was cool. I think she just liked having the attention from the entire family. The whole experience was worth it when the boys jumped up to save S and help her by getting ice and hugging her.

Pizza Playdate

Jake and E

The kids decided to have friends over to make pizzas. We had three little boys come over to enjoy our afternoon of cooking. They all loved making their own little pizzas. It was fun to watch how each of them created unique pizzas. Their friends had so much fun making pizzas that they decided to make some for their siblings and parents. Basically...we made a lot of pizza!


E's Masterpiece!


K, S, Dallin and Tyler...enjoying friends and good food!


Tyler...all smiles!

Dallin was so proud of himself!

Big Brother

I walked into our family room to find E, 7 yrs, reading to E2. E2 had been crying and because I couldn't get to him right away, E picked him up and calmed him down by reading to him. The kids are so good at entertaining E2. They all argue about who gets a turn to play with him.

Campout

The kids have been asking us to go camping for months and for many reasons it just has not happened. We decided to set up a tent in the family room so they could have their own campout. The tent opened toward the television so they stayed up late watching a movie and playing in the tent. Amazingly enough they even slept in late, which is a miracle in our house. We thought this picture was hilarious because S and E are all about being seen and having the attention and K is doing one of his classic faces!! K could win a contest on giving the best pouty faces.

Moore Family Reunion - August 2008

Most of Fly Guy's family came in August for a mini reunion. Everyday there were activities, but mostly we all enjoyed watching the cousins playing together. One day we went to Montana de Oro beach. The kids loved climbing all of the cliffs and rocks.
