the moore's

I am a slacker....

2012-02-01T14:48:00.000-08:00

So where do I begin... Well, for starters Ryelee was baptized in January. When did she get so big? Charley did a great job, the water was the perfect temperature, and we are grateful for everyone who came.

Charley and Rye..

Rye and my Dad. I had to take this photo of her and my Dad because 20 yrs ago, I took the exact same picture in front of the exact same door with him when I was baptized. CrAzY...

Charley's Dad and his wife Jenny.

My Parents. My mom made Ryelee's dress, isn't it so cute?

My Grandpa and Grandma Willson.. Grandpa looks like he got into a fight. He did but with a cow pie! They were rounding up some cows and he fell flat on his face. Poor guy! He looks A LOT better now :)

Ryelee with her Uncle Shane and Aunt Kelsey. Kelsey was such a trooper. She had the flu the night before but still made it to Ryelee's baptism to give her talk. It was so fun to have Shane and Kelsey here for this special occasion. I'm sure most of you know that Shane and Kelsey live in Michigan, and so when Ryelee said that she wanted them here for her baptism, I didn't hesitate to say " Okay, we can wait until they are here ". The day before her baptism, Shane and Kelsey were actually sealed in the Oquirrh Temple. So it was a wonderful, spiritual weekend for all of us!

I just had to sneak a few pictures of Mr. Beckett Don. He is getting so big and he is such a fun boy! When I took him in for his 6 month appointment his stats were:

Weight: 19 lbs. 3 oz. ( 50th percentile )

Height: 75th percentile

Head: That didn't even register on the charts! Yep, he has a big head!

He is almost crawling! He is starting to pull himself up on things too. I had his clothes all folded and the little stink pulled them out. Oh, here we go with the crazy life of a walking/crawling baby. Wish me luck :)

Us lately....

2011-11-30T15:02:00.001-08:00

Aren't they getting so dang big?? I can't believe how big they are....

I have been such a blog slacker, its ridiculous. Sorry! I will fill you all in on what the Moore's have been up to.. Well and that's not much! I have been working quite a bit. They fired a girl at work, so they asked me to fill in until they hire a permanent replacement. It's been fun going back and filling in. I don't want to do it full time, but it's been nice to have the extra cash for Christmas.. We started our business! CrAzY, I know but it's going to be a good thing. Charley is sick of working for someone and he wants to be his own boss. He's done working so someone can have a great fantastic life, so now it's our turn. He is still working at C.T.I., but once it really takes off, he will be on his own, he already has jobs lined up ready to go, OH SO STRESSFUL. I'm alittle scared, but I have all the faith in the world in him that he will succeed. Other than that, life is pretty normal. We are just getting ready for Christmas and the arrival of my brother and his wife. I can not wait for them to get here! Oh and I am going to be an aunt again. My brother Reggie and his wife Heidi are pregnant WITH TWINS... oh man, I would die! I am super excited for them though. I will try harder to post more, now that life seems alittle normal!

Much Love,

Mary..

Getting Big...

2011-10-19T09:37:00.001-07:00

Last night Charley's cousin asked for a snap shot of the kids, and this is what she got! Could Beckett get any bigger? He weighs 15 lbs ( well that was about 3 wks ago, so who knows at this point ) He was 25 inches long and his head was 43.. is that cm? I don't know... Anyways, he is huge! He loves his sisters SO much it's crazy. He also loves to be outside in his stroller just hanging out. I mowed the lawn yesterday and he just chilled in his stroller watching me.. ( let me remind you.. it takes me about an hour and a half or 1.7 miles to do that task ) I never would have imagined that, to mow my lawn it was over a mile. I put Charley's Garmin on and mowed it and that's what it said. CRAZY!!!

2011-09-23T07:34:00.000-07:00

5 yrs ago yesterday, we were blessed to have this little girl join our family! She is such a good girl and we are so happy that she picked us for her parents. Her and Ryelee are best friends ( most of the time )... I can't believe she's five! We love you Payzlee.. Happy Birthday :)

Becketts Blessing Day...

2011-09-11T13:46:00.000-07:00

Today was Becketts Blessing Day! What a wonderful day it has been... Charley did a wonderful job on the blessing and all of our family members were able to make it. Beckett did so good while they were blessing him. He just slept through it all.. After Sacrament, we came back to our house and had a brunch, which was delicious... I hate hosting parties at my house. I just feel like I can't sit and visit with everyone! I feel like I neglect everyone, but I guess that's just part of being a hostess, right???

Look how cute he is in his little outfit! I didn't like the bow tie on the shirt, so I took it off and bought him a tie that matched his Daddy's... It was so cute!

And as you can see... the tie is alittle long! ( just an FYI... this pictures were taken by Charley )

I just want to say thanks to all of our family memebers that came to the blessing to support us and Beckett on his big day! We love you all, and we couldn't imagine life with out any of you :)

End of summer...

2011-08-29T10:34:00.000-07:00

Well the summer has ended, but soccer has begun!! I honestly have never seen Charley so excited over something the girls are doing. Don't get me wrong, he loves everything that the girls do, but it really has WARMED his heart to see them LOVE soccer. For those of you that don't know, this is Charley's 1st choice of a sport. He played all thru High School and even went to Germany to play... He's pretty much a pro :) Anyways, you should have seen him help the girls put their socks and cleats on... it all had to be done JUST RIGHT! So funny :) He is also their coach, so this is pretty much what our Saturdays will consist of for the next couple of months..

Ryelee protecting the goal...

Charley and his team... I'm a terrible MOM.. I wouldn't get out of the shade to get a close picture. Next time... maybe :)

Payzlee kicking the ball... She was too fast when the game started. I was bending down to get the camera, and she had already made the 1st goal.

Payzlee kicking the ball for the 2nd goal..

Payzlee taking a break and talking to Trey..

This is what Beckett did pretty much the whole time...

Trey played right after Payzlee, so of course we had to stay and watch. He wouldn't look at the camera though! Stinker..

Trey waving for the camera...

It has been a very eventful summer, if I do say so myself. I honestly can say I will never have a baby in the summer again... ( that won't be an issue again though... were done ) I feel like my kids missed out on the pool, because I couldn't take them. Thank Heavens for St. George and our condo! My family helped me out SO much when we went down there. My sister is so close to her due date, but yet she still helped me with the girls, and I appreciate her so much! They are getting ready to move into their new house and I can't wait because she will only be about 10 minutes away, so we will be able to get the kids together alot more... Oh and did I mention... I HAVE A 2ND GRADER... where did the time go???

It's what fun is...

2011-07-30T15:22:00.000-07:00

Last night we decided we needed a camping trailer, so what did we do?? We went and bought one. We had been debating it for awhile and last night was the magical night!!! I am so dang excited, I could pee my pants. Charley and I wanted to get something that we could go do just with our family or with others too. Now that Charley doesn't travel for work anymore, he is home EVERY weekend, so we can just on a whim go! It sleeps 8 so we won't be out growing it... The girls can't wait to go. They wanted to sleep in it last night, but I hadn't cleaned it out yet! We might go up to Bear Lake this weekend, and if we do I will post some pictures of our first excursion :)

What 2 weeks will bring...

2011-07-28T13:12:00.000-07:00

As I sit here and think about the last 2 wks, it's crazy to think what life will bring. From the Birth of our little Beckett, to the death of Charley's Aunt Willi. I am so grateful that I had Beckett when I did, because Aunt Willi was able to see him and hold him. I still cannot believe she is gone. She was such a wonderful lady who loved everyone unconditionally, she had such a wonderful testimony. She knew exactly where she was going to go, and she was ready! I can only imagine the reunion between her father who passed away 30 some odd years ago and her. How wonderful it would have been to see that. I had one favor that I had asked her, and that was to make sure she found my Uncle Mark and my Grandpa Montgomery and give them hugs for me. They are missed every day and she will be too. I am so grateful to know what I know and to know that we will see these wonderful people that have gone on before us again. I can't wait for that reunion. We love you Aunt Willi, and even though we are sad that you had to leave us, we are also so grateful that you aren't suffering anymore. Cancer SUCKS!! I am grateful for the time that she was able to spend with Ryelee and Payzlee and for the short time that she was able to spend with Beckett. Until we meet again...

The New Arrival...

2011-07-10T18:57:00.000-07:00

Here is our little Beckett Don... He was born on Friday July 8th, 2011 @ 8:08 p.m. It was my shortest labor, but hardest. He weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 3/4 in long. So not only was it my hardest labor, he is also my biggest baby. Ryelee was 6 lbs 8 oz and Payzlee was 6 lbs 11 oz and they both were 19 in long. But he is health and strong and he is so easy going, it's crazy! The nurse came in and did his PKU test and he really could have cared less. He didn't cry, or fuss at all. I was shocked.. He did how ever, mess his pants while she was doing that and when we changed his bum, he screamed. I guess I can see the logic in that... CRAZY kid!

Ryelee just thinks she is his little mother...

Along with Payzlee... I think they LoVe him.. LOTS!

Beckett Don Moore... 7/8/11

2011-07-10T08:37:00.000-07:00

Our sweet little baby has finally made his arrival into this world. We couldn't be happier and more blessed. He is such a sweet baby and very mild tempered. I will get photos up soon...

New Beds...

2011-06-27T13:03:00.001-07:00

This last week, I found such a steal!! I have been looking for beds for the girls for such a long time, and YES they did have some, so it wasn't like their mattresses were on the floor. But I had a certain look in mind, and the ones that I had, just weren't the vision.... So when I stumbled across these, I just swooped them up! ( yes, I called Charley, but I had already written the check for them ) but he was okay with it, because we were on the same page! I seriously, have the best husband ever. Now, I just need to find the right decorations for this room! I have been searching and searching for the right ones and I just can't seem to find them. Thanks to my Mother-in-law, I have the bedspreads that I had envisioned. She made them, and she had the girls pick out their own fabric for the pedals of the flowers, but with some help so that it matched! She did such a great job.... So it's coming slowly but surely!!!

2011-06-20T12:01:00.001-07:00

A little over a week ago, Charley and Jenny ( my mother-in-law ) did a triathlon. They both did awesome. They both took 3rd in their age division. Pretty sure, I would die! Good Job guys... I was able to get them doing everything, except for the swimming! Sorry...

Jenny coming around the corner to start the second loop...

Charley finishing up the biking part and waving to his girls...

Starting the run, and waving!

Jenny dis-mounting and getting ready to start her run... I wasn't able to get Charley dis-mounting off of his bike! I can only walk so fast being hugely pregnant...

Jenny starting her run...

Charley finishing his run..

and waving at his girls :)

Jenny finishing her run, and getting HIGH FIVES from the girls..

Charley getting his award. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know where it is, because the girls have taken it and they play with it.

Jenny getting her award..

Okay, so these outfits have nothing to do with the Triathlon, but I had to post them. If any of you know my husband, you will know that he is a big UFC fan. I found these outfits on Kohl's.com and had to order them for him. He was so dang excited. I'm pretty sure one of these will be his newborn picture outfit.. oh well! The girls wore pink, so I guess he can have some say on what his son will wear!

In the Club....

2011-05-29T13:09:00.001-07:00

Well I am proud to say we are in the " TrAmPoLiNe ClUb "! I honestly thought we would never have one of these. A few of our neighbors have them, so the girls would just go over there and jump, but Charley and I both decided that they needed their own. Plus, when I have the baby, it will be alot easier for me to keep an eye on them out the back window rather than the neighbors houses. We haven't put the net up yet, just because we have had some high winds and the trampolines with the nets get taken away with the wind very easily. So this week sometime, Charley will make some stakes for it. Needless to say... the girls are VERY excited about it. Now if the weather would just clear up so they can get some use out of it.

This is the girls helping their dad set it up...

My front island... Charley has done such a great job planting everything that I have brought home. He finally got the bark in last week and it looks great. I just can't wait for all the plants to get big and really pretty.

Oh my sad garden area! Last year we had a pretty decent garden, but this year... NOT SO MUCH! We will have a few tomato plants, some cucumber plants and some raspberries. I just haven't had the energy to do it this year. But next year we will have an AWESOME one. I just need to convince Charley to till it all up so we can get the plants planted.

My sad little peach tree! It needs a friend... We are planning on making this our fruit tree area. I'm thinking we will have 2 more peach trees and 2 apple trees. We just need to go get them and get them planted. Sometime it will happen....

Maybe the next time I blog, I will have had the baby! HOPEFULLY :)

2011-05-18T13:49:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I have decided that I need to make a list and start checking things off! I need to get things all in order before our little guy gets here. I can't believe it's just a matter of weeks before we get to meet him... CRAZY!!!! So here's my list, and maybe by posting it, I will actually have the motivation to get everything done....

1. I need to get the nursery done.. Charley wants to do a Tap Out room. I don't hate the idea, I just want it to be cute. So at this point, I say WHATEVER!

2. I need to find a swing. I have one, but it's from when we had Ryelee and it's old, and I just don't love it. So that's a must.

3. I need to find a pump. I don't want to spend alot of money on one, just because I don't know how long I will be doing it for. I'm not the biggest fan of breastfeeding, so I'm thinking, just pumping for alittle while.... we will see :)

4. I need to get a few more BLUE blankets. I have plenty of PINK ones, but Charley says NO to that idea...

5. I need to finish painting my front room. I want to get that done, so I can just relax once he gets here.

6. I need to get the girls' there swimsuits for the summer. Maybe I will do it this weekend.. I also need to sign them up for swim lessons.... * double sigh *

7. I need to get the car seat out and get it all cleaned up, along with the stroller. That will be easy, because I will just have Char do it :)

8. I need to clean the toy room out and get all the toys taken down stairs so that we can actually start on the nursery. * sigh *

9. I need to get my hospital bags packed, but in reality I will probably do it last minute.

10. I need to go get a pedicure, so that my toes are looking cute!

11. I need to find a diaper bag... I haven't been able to find one that I love! I guess I am too picky :)

12. I need to make arrangements for the girls, and make sure that we have a plan of where they are going to go when we do have him. I just hope it lands on a Friday, and then that way Charley only has to take off 1 day rather than 3. If only life was that perfect...

Alright, well I am going to stop there... If I get too long of a list, I will just go insane. Hopefully, we can accomplish all of these, and if not all of them, then most of them! Wish us luck :)

So DaNg ExCiTeD...

2011-05-15T19:45:00.000-07:00

So I have to just say that I am so DANG excited about this purchase!! I can't wait to start running again. I sold my double jogger and bought this one, for our little guy! I CANNOT WAIT to get my body back and look normal again. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him to come tomorrow, but I can't wait for these last few weeks to be over with. I want to see what he looks like. I'm curious to see if he looks like both of the girls, or if he looks more like Charley than me. Either way, we are excited!

Yard Progress....

2011-05-06T16:23:00.001-07:00

I am so happy to announce that our grass is all GROWN in and doing AWESOME!!! People doubted the whole SEEDING process, but Charley has done a FABULOUS job, and it's done real well. In fact, he says we will NEVER do sod again. He has been such a sport about planting all the flowers that I have brought home. Being pregnant has put a damper on yard work for me, but it's getting done! I'm just crossing my fingers that all my PERENNIALS will grow and be pretty...

A Year Ago Today...

2011-05-03T07:27:00.000-07:00

A year ago today was a bitter sweet day.. It's a day, I will never forget! I was lucky enough to be in the room and say goodbye to my Grandpa when he passed away. I can't believe it's been a year already. Where has the time gone? I know that he is in a better place and that he is looking down on us and waiting for the wonderful day when we will all be reunited as a family. I love you Grandpa and miss you everyday :)

2011-04-02T09:13:00.000-07:00

Today is my Grandma Willson's birthday! I just wanted to take a minute and write about this wonderful lady. My Grandma Willson is the most kind,caring,loving and just sweet Grandma anyone could ask for. She's the Grandma that when you call her she is just so happy to talk to you. I honestly can't say enough about this amazing woman. She has been to HELL and back this year! She has lost a brother, and a son all within 3 months of each other. I know she has her moments of falling apart, we all do, but she never lets us see it. She always has a smile on her face when we are over at her house. She loves having her family over even when it is all 30 grandkids and their parents. She just has so much love for all of us, and I just hope she knows how much love we all have for her. I love you Grandma, Happy Birthday!

Monster Ball....

2011-03-21T19:37:00.000-07:00

This last Saturday was such an AWESOME night!! My sister, some of my friends, and I went to the Lady GaGa concert.. it was AWESOME!! We had floor seats, which were awesome but I wouldn't recommend it when your 6 months pregnant. We started out really close, but we ended up leaving that spot, because it got WAY too tight. People were getting really pushy and so my sister and I decided since we were pregnant and for the safety of our un-born children, that we needed to leave. We still had an PERFECT view of her and all of her madness, so it worked out. I hope these photos don't offend anyone. I tried to put the least offensive ones up. My eyes are still burning from some of the images that I saw while we were there. I most certainly could have gone with out some of them, that's for sure. I am so glad that we went, because I'm sure if we hadn't, we would have kicked ourselves wishing we would have. Thanks Girls for making it so fun... I can't wait to do it again!!! ( If she comes back )

Magical....

2011-03-08T09:02:00.000-08:00

Oh man, where do I begin?? We just got back last night from Disneyland. The girls has such a blast. They loved it so so so much. We had a really early flight on Thursday so that we could be there in time for when the park opened. It was a long day, but so worth it. We didn't realize that we couldn't check into our hotel until 3, so we had to wear what we had on. I wanted to change, but oh well! PHOTO OVERLOAD***** ( I warned you )

My mom, Payzlee and the witch off of Alice n' Wonderland... I'm bad, I don't even know her name.

Ryelee, Payzlee, and Donald Duck

All of us in front of the Castle... The girls loved walking thru the castle entry way, so you know which way we entered EVERY time....

Waiting in line for the Peter Pan ride... My Favorite :)

Charley, Payzlee, and Ryelee on the Tea Cups... ( that's not Charley with the silly hat on, he's the one with his hat on backwards )

Payzlee LOVED the roller coasters... I was surprised, but she did. Ryelee didn't like them much on the first day, but she warmed up to them.

Holy Crap! This was the HIGHLIGHT of the trip. We were able to have breakfast with the Princesses. They LOVED this SO SO SO much. It was perfect... we just sat and ate and they came to us. We didn't have to wait in line to see them, which was great for Charley and me. Don't mind their shirts under their costumes... I forgot their white ones that we put under them, so we just went with what we had.... Ryelee's favorite Ariel..

Payzlee's favorite.. Snow White

The girls and Sleeping Beauty..

The girls and Cinderella...

The girls and Bell...

Beach Bum Payzlee...

Beach Bum Ryelee..

My dad buried Payzlee in the sand. She thought it was so funny, she couldn't stop laughing. She had sand in places it shouldn't be, but she loved being buried!

Ryelee and Payzlee chasing after the seagulls...

Okay, so if you look at this picture, you will see a black dot in the water... that's a Dolphin! It was so fun to see, but this picture doesn't do it justice. By the time I realized that I needed a picture, it was too far away. But that's the Fin of it!

As you can see, we really enjoyed ourselves! It was so nice to get away to some warm weather and just be a family. I'm so glad that my parents were able to come with us, and enjoy it too. I think we will be going back in a couple of years once our little guy is old enough to go, and enjoy it too.

Myrtle Beach 2011

2011-02-26T22:41:00.001-08:00

This last weekend we were able to go back to Myrtle Beach, S.C. and have another FANTASTIC couples weekend.... It was such a blast and I can't wait to go back again next year. It has been so fun getting to know the other couples that we go with. Every night, we would stay up and laugh so hard out cheeks would hurt. You definitely learn SO much about others when you go on little vacations like this.... SO FUN :)

Us at the beach...

All of us HOT MAMMA'S before the race... Briana in the black took 2nd place in her age group. We all were so dang proud of her. Good Job Briana :)

All of the Fellas.... Don't look down Dirk :)

Rex and Briana... We were so glad that these 2 were able to come this year.

Dirk and Misty... They are the reason why we call Myrtle Beach, FERTILE MYRTLE :)

Awe.. Char and I

Travis and Sierra, what a fun couple...

Jason and Holly, the trip wouldn't be the same without these guys! Oh wait, the trip would be NONE existent without these 2. Thanks guys for letting us come and stay at your house. We can't wait to do it again next year :)

Last day at the beach... :(

So pretty!

Once again, Thanks Jason and Holly for such a fun vacation. We appreciate everything that you do for all of us. Also, Thanks to all the couples that go! Thanks for making it SO SO SO much fun every year. I cannot wait to go again next year :)

Just Grateful....

2011-01-21T21:14:00.000-08:00

As I sit here tonight, and ponder on what has happened the last 3 days, I am just SO GRATEFUL to have the family that I have. We have been in court for the last 3 days, fighting for the family farm. My dad's oldest brother decided years ago that he was ENTITLED to it all. REALLY???? I just never could understand why he thought this. So after MANY long years of all this crap, today was the day that it finally came to an end. I was blessed enough to be able to go Thursday and Friday all day and listen to what my family had to say on the stand. My Grandpa is just the sweetest man alive, and my Grandma is just a SAINT! I just can't imagine putting them thru the heartache that THEY have. So needless to say, we WON!!! It went the way that we needed it too, and it was AMAZING the feeling that we all had. It was a feeling of relief, a feeling of calm, but mostly it was the feeling of my Uncle! We all knew that he was there with us, we could all feel him. It was one of the most amazing feelings that I have ever felt. Very emotional, but awesome! I am just so grateful to know what I know. I am grateful for my family, and for all that they have done for our family and for me. I am grateful for my Grandparents, and for the relationship that I have with them. I am grateful for the religion that I have and for the knowledge of the savior and all that he did for us. I am grateful for the time that I had with my Uncle Mark and I can't wait for the day that we are re-united as a family. I am just GRATEFUL....

Looking Back on 2010.....

2011-01-11T16:01:00.000-08:00

The year 2010 started off with one of the funnest trips EVER!!!! We were lucky to go to Myrtle Beach, S. Carolina with the Best Group! I have NEVER laughed so hard in my life as I did on this vacation! I CAN NOT wait to go again this year.....

Misty and I being big GOOFS!!!!

This is one of the reasons why we went. We all flew over there to fun a 5k! Minus the snow, it was a blast!!!!

We did a lot of dancing this year! The girls loved it....

I was able to see these guys in concert with my AWESOME friend Misty! I loved every minute of it, it definitely beats a lot of the concerts that I have seen!!!

WE put our yard in.... and when I say WE, I mean WE!!! Charley would come home from work and I would go out and help him. We were out there til late at night most nights. Our children were neglected, but they survived! I can honestly say, I NEVER WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!!!!

We lost this great man on May 3rd... I miss him alot and I can't wait to see him again!

We also lost this great man! June 16th will be a day that is never forgotten, and I can't wait to see him again as well! I think about them both everyday of my life....

We enjoyed ourselves in St. George!! We love to go every year....

My little brother got married in October! It's still crazy to think he is married. I still picture him as a little nerd in the 10th grade! We love them both, and we can't wait to have them live closer! Michigan is alittle far for me to drive....

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! I'm glad it's over, but it was good....

We found out that we are going to have another little one running around! We are excited, nervous but excited! Charley and I also celebrated out 8 yr anniversary and I can't wait to celebrate 50 more! He is a fabulous husband and father and he makes sure we all have what we need! I couldn't ask for anything more of him! He fulfills his role in life very well. I look forward to what 2011 brings us this year! We already have some fun adventures lined up this year so look forward to seeing some fun pictures!!!

Much Love,

Mary

Another Year Gone....

2011-01-05T18:43:00.000-08:00

I should have posted back in December, but I didn't! Life has been crazy busy with the holidays, and I can honestly say, I am glad they are over with. Sorry for the picture overload, I am the biggest Blog slacker lately!!!

Santa Came...... Hooray!!!!

Ryelee and her new bike! She loves it.

Payzlee and her new bike too....

The look on Ryelee's face says it all..... They got Leapsters, and man they have wanted them for awhile now!!!

Charley spoiled me again!!! He got me a new Laptop... I totally thought he was going to get me a Dyson because I had been telling him for awhile that's something I wanted!!!! But I wanted one of these as well!!!

I surprised him with a Garmin watch! He has been wanting one forever, and I was able to get him one this year!!! The only bad thing was, it didn't come until the 28th of December!!! Damn Target.... Luckily, I had gotten him an Ipod too, so he at least had something to open Christmas morning!!!

I had to post this picture!! It makes me laugh every time I look at it... We had my family Christmas party on New Year's and Charley and Jeremy LOVED the Toy Story fishing game!!!! We all looked over and there they were playing it together..... We all just stared and laughed....

Needless to say, I am glad this year is over!!! There were a lot of hard times, but there were also a lot of good times. We found out in November that we are EXPECTING again.... We are excited, nervous because we will be starting all over again, but excited!!! I just can't wait for the sickness to go away! Hopefully, it won't last as long as it did with Payzlee. Nine months of being sick is too much!! I lost 25lbs with Payzlee and I have already lost 7 with this one!!!! So I guess we will see.... Charley's hoping for a boy, I don't really care as long as it's healthy!! But I do have to say, It's a lot easier coming up with Girl names!! Oh well, what do you do??? I hope this year is a good one for everyone!!

CaRvInG oUr PuMpKiNs....

2010-11-01T20:05:00.000-07:00

What's Halloween if you don't carve PuMpKiNs????
The Girls' really got into it this year... They loved the messiness of it and they loved that we cooked the seeds and ate them. ( They were delicious by the way ) so here are a few of our Carvin' pumpkin pictures...

Ryelee diving right in....

So is Payzlee...

Charley's SO into it... after he did his, he was done! NOT.... I wasn't about to do the rest by myself! The girls LOVED the cleaning out part, but they didn't have the patience to wait for them to get carved...

This one is mine...

Ryelee's scary wolf...

Charley's skull one...

Payzlee's witch one....

If any of you are wondering... I still have them burning on my porch right now! It took us FOREVER to carve them, so I'm getting my time worth....

Having a MOMENT...

2010-10-27T20:24:00.000-07:00

This is really going to be a depressing post... SORRY! As I sit here and look at this picture, I can't help but cry. I miss my Uncle terribly. I am dreading Saturday! Halloween was his holiday. He would make sure that he was home so that he could me my girls in their costumes and give them their Uncle Mark treat. You know, people say you should be grateful for your TRIALS.. I'm not. I hate every minute of it. I just miss him, and would love to just hear his voice.

Mr. and Mrs. Willson... 10/2/10

2010-10-08T17:03:00.000-07:00

This last weekend my little brother Shane married his best friend Kelsey!! It was such a beautiful wedding. I am so glad we were able to go to Michigan and be a part of it. Thanks guys for sharing your special day with us. ** WARNING... PHOTO OVERLOAD **

The happy couple saying " CHEESE "....

Dancing the night away!! My Dad wasn't sure what was going on....

Me dancing with the Groom!! They said CHEESE so I CHEESED it....

My Dad and my Sister....

The Groom and Best Man....

Having the time of our LIVES.... Actually, we were just bored. We were waiting for the Ceremony to start..

Still waiting for it to start...

Isn't this so pretty? It's like something you would see in a magazine. It kind of makes me want to get married again.... To the same person of course!!!

Cutting the cake... It was YUMMY Cheesecake, My FAV!

Getting ready to be announced " Mr. and Mrs. Willson "...

They had a fun PhotoBooth there too! You could do it as many times as you wanted and they would give you a copy and then put a copy in a scrapbook for Shane and Kelsey. What a clever idea...

Once again guys, thanks for letting us be apart of your special day! We loved it and we love you. Thanks to my Mother-in-law for watching the kids so we could go. We love you and are grateful for you :)

Busy,Busy,Busy.....

2010-09-24T20:26:00.000-07:00

I have been the biggest blog slacker!!! So I apologize for the picture overload.... Life has been crazy for the last little while, and I just haven't gotten around to posting. Now that I am back to reality, I will be posting more... Hopefully :)

As you all know, this summer has been a difficult one for all us. So to get our minds off of it all, we decided to set up some fun water slides. We did this slip n' slide and it wasn't long enough, so we decided to add some more plastic and some dish soap. It worked AWESOME after that. I couldn't get Payzlee off of it. She had so much fun....

This is what Ryelee loved. She didn't really like the Slip n' Slide too much. She said that it hurt her belly when she fell on the grass, so she did this instead. This would have been alittle better if the bottom part was alittle longer. Oh well, it entertained them for like 6 hrs. It was marvelous...

We love that we have access to a boat. I love that my Dad is always willing to take us. We decided to take our last HOORAH on the boat a couple of weekends ago. The girls LOVE the boat.

Payzlee enjoying herself...

These are the MANY veggies that I was able to get out of my garden. In fact.. I made 2 batches of Salsa and 2 batches of Jalapeno Jam this year and I was able to use all of the peppers out of my garden. I'm pretty excited about it. We also have like 10 pumpkins growing too, I have never grown pumpkins before because my Grandpa has in the past but I'm way excited about them too.

I am a horrible mother. I don't know what happened to Ryelee's 1st day of school picture, but I guess I will be re-taking it. Anyways, Payzlee started school this year. ( sniff ) She loves it though and she has the best teacher ever. Miss Janna is the best and I'm so glad that my girls have been able to have her.

Payzlee also had a birthday this month too. She turned the big 4!! I can't believe it. She's getting so big. We had a little party at our house for her. We had all of her Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas, Grandpas and Cousins over for Dinner and Cake and Ice Cream. It was a wonderful party. Thanks to everyone that came. I'm just really surprised that it all came together. The Saturday before, we went out for Ice Cream and just so happened to find out that there was NO MONEY in our account. I was furious because I knew that there was money in there. So while we were there, I got on Charley's phone and pulled up our account info. That's when it all hit the fan... Someone from Great Britain had HACKED into our account and wiped us clean. Oh man... I have NEVER felt so violated. I have no idea how they got out account number, but they did. I don't shop on-line or anything, so it's still a mystery. All I can say is... Prayers are answered in little mysterious ways. Thanks to all that helped....

Payzlee surrounded by all of her cousins... I just love my nieces and nephews!! They are so sweet...

Payzlees cute cake... Tinkerbell! You can't really see it, but the Tinkerbell in the RIGHT hand corner of the cake is a necklace and the little pictures in the flowers are the pendents. It really turned out so cute and like I said before, we couldn't have done it without the help of our family, so THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! We love all of you :)

Fun Times...

2010-07-29T12:16:00.000-07:00

Over the 24th of July we had the opportunity to go up with our neighbors Bryce and Layce to their cabin up in Stanley Idaho. We had such a wonderful time. As a kid, my family and I would go up to Alturus Lake which is about 30 minutes or so from their cabin, and I have not been back up there since Ryelee was like 1 1/2. It has definitely been awhile. When they asked us if we wanted to go up with them, I was so excited. I love it up there! Thanks again guys :)

Ryelee caught the 1st fish.... but she wouldn't hold it. Crazy girl!!

This is the inlet at Stanley Lake. All of the lakes up here are Glacier Lakes. BRR!!

Ryelee stepped in and about froze her behind off. This little stream is a lot colder than the actual Lake, and the Lake is cold.

Pettit Lake. I love the mountains behind us, they were beautiful...

So she wouldn't hold the fish, but she would play with the worms....

Payzlee wasn't really sure about getting in the water.

Payzlee couldn't get enough of the fish that we caught. She would kiss them and talk to them. She must get that from her dad, cause I love to fish but I don't like to touch them either.

Charley being a good daddy! He just loves that his girls love to fish with him.

This is my lake. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this lake. This is Alturus Lake. This is the one that my family would go to. I have such wonderful memories here.

Of course I had to get in. It actually wasn't too bad. The kids would get in with me, but none of the adults would. Wusses :)

Redfish Lake. Another favorite of mine...

The kids wanting to get in, but right here, it was just too slippery with moss. They at least got their toes in.

Coming home :( We had such a wonderful time. It was sad leaving, but I'm sure we will go up again. Thanks again Bryce and Layce for the invite.

Yard Progress....

2010-07-02T14:33:00.000-07:00

Well it's official..... WE HAVE A YARD!!!!! I am so excited about it, I could scream. Charley has worked SO dang hard to make it look good. I have to give myself some credit too!! It's been a work in progress. We got curbing 2 weeks ago, and to be honest... I'm not all that excited about it. Not that they didn't do a good job, it's because the day they came was the day that my Uncle Mark passed away. So it's just a constant reminder of him and the horrible day that we had. To be honest with you, the only reason why I have so many flowers planted is because I needed something to do to get my mind off of losing an uncle. I just kept getting more and more of them so that I would have something to do. I'm sure the curbing guy will NEVER forget this day as well. When he called to get directions from me, I lost it. Poor guy!! It's been really hard and I am so grateful for the wonderful support and love that we have received from everyone. Thank you!!

I can't wait for my Island to start blooming. I hope it will be pretty. The Wheelbarrow that is in it is my Grandpa Montgomery's, and when he passed away, I decided that I wanted it so that I could have a piece of him always.

A picture of all the curbing in front. Okay, i lied... There's a piece on the other side of the driveway, but I didn't get it. Anyways, the curbing in front of the house is now all planted. It took me FOREVER to plant all of it. Thanks to my mom for all the flowers. She seriously gave me like 15 to 20 flats of flowers. I love that she has a greenhouse!!! I will have to post pictures when the grass is in and my flowers are blooming... (Don't mind the lovely weeds in front.... that is our next project )

This is my garden. It looks bare in this picture, but it's not bare anymore. I have a row of Red potatoes, 3 rows of corn, 2 rows of peppers, 8 squash plants, strawberries, raspberries, cantaloupe, carrots, tomatoes, and pumpkins. I'm excited!!!

If you look closely, you can see my grass sprouting!! I wish we could have had instant grass ( a.k.a. SOD ) but we went over to our friends Travis and Sierra's house and looked at their yard and they did seed, and man we were sold. Their yard is beautiful!!! I just hope that our seed comes in as well as theirs did. I'm sure it will. I have faith in Charley and his ability to make it work :)

Broken Heart....

2010-06-16T17:32:00.000-07:00

Today has been an awful day for my family. We lost one of the most kind, loving, funny, most genuine person around. My Uncle Mark left this word very unexpectedly this morning of a massive heart attack. I sit here, and look back at all the good times that we had with him. He was only 52, and to me, he still had MANY years left. I will cherish every moment that I had with him. All the little conversations that we had. How he taught me certain things. He will be greatly missed, and we love him so very much. Til we meet again Uncle Mark. I love you so very much and there won't be a day that goes by that I won't think of you....

I Love You Grandpa...

2010-05-14T13:11:00.000-07:00

In Memory Of
Aus Montgomery, Father, Grandpa, and Friend!

On May 3rd, 2010 my Grandpa Montgomery passed away. He was such a wonderful man. I Love You! Til we meet again...

The Grandsons' were the Pallbearers. They put the casket on this wagon and rode to the cemetery. It's just the way grandpa would have had it.

The horse on the back is my grandpa's last horse that he ever ' Broke '.... You can't really see in the picture, but all of his gear is on it with his boots upside down, which means ' The Rides Over '.

Isn't this so BEAUTIFUL?? The flowers on his casket said " Dad/ Grandpa ". They were so pretty!

This is his Legacy....

This is the view from the cemetery. Isn't it pretty? The mountains were his home. It's where he was born and raised and it's where he raised his 8 kids as well.

He was such a strong man inside and out. Even in his last hours he was fighting a good fight.

Grandpa, I love you so much! I know that we will see each other again someday and that families are FOREVER.... ' Til we meet again

HeartBroken...

2010-05-04T11:24:00.000-07:00

I don't even know where to begin.... Last night was a very heartbreaking night. It was one of Sadness, Happiness, Heartache, Joy... just so many emotions. As I sit here and write this, I just still can't believe he's gone. I don't know that the reality of it has set in. I knew this day would eventually come, that I would have to say " Good-bye " to a Grandparent, I just didn't want to. My heart is just so broken right now, words can't even explain. I Love You Grandpa Montgomery... Til We Meet Again.....

I HEART Him....

2010-04-20T08:20:00.000-07:00

Just alittle SHOUT out to the man that I am married too! I am so grateful for him and his hard work to provide for us. We are so grateful to have him as our daddy and as my hubby! I love you Char...

UpDaTeS....

2010-04-17T10:23:00.000-07:00

I finally have flowers planted.... YAY!!! I went to Home Depot to look at flowers, ( I don't know why, since I have access to FREE flowers!! ) Anyways, they had Burning Bushes for 2.50.. What a freakin' steal. So just imagine those green little bushes looking all Red and bushy.. I can't wait :) I am going to have Charley take me to go get some Bark. I can not stand the look of just dirt. Maybe it's because that's all we have right now in my yard.....

It'S oNlY jUsT bEgUn....

2010-04-11T17:38:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we did our first PROJECT on the yard!! * SIGH*..... I am so glad it's done. It was a VERY big project at that. Thanks to everyone that helped on this day. Charley and I had long nights and early Saturday mornings trying to get everything done and ready.

The 1st pour....

Payzlee is making sure the guys are doing it right...

Ryelee could careless. She just wanted to play with her friends...

Almost done with the pour. Now it's time for the FINISHING part. Good thing Bryce and Jeremy showed up at this point. I was getting alittle nervous myself...

DONE! DONE! and DONE!!! It turned out SO good. It's going to be so nice to have even though we don't have an RV or Camping Trailer. Good Job Char! and once again, thanks to everyone that helped us out.

This is our next PROJECT!! I have NO idea what to plant in here this year. I want some Shrubs, maybe a mini Weeping Willow tree. Our neighbors across the street have one and I love it. *sigh*.... It's going to be back breaking, but fun!!

Things I LOVE.....

2010-03-03T20:59:00.000-08:00

The other day I was reading my friend Misty's blog and she had posted about things that she LOVES... So I have stolen her idea and done it myself. Thanks Misty :) It CAN'T be people that you love, just things that you love. So here are some of the things that I LOVE and that make my life alittle bit BETTER....

I love all of these products. I honestly can't live without them. I love Colgate toothpaste so much! It's almost a sick relationship. I have to have my flossers, my Oral B toothbrush, and my retainers! YES! My retainers....

These products I can't live without either. These are my EVERY DAY must haves.

Oh man!! Where do I begin with these things. My CHI is my lifesaver. I have such curly hair, and if I didn't have one of these, my hair would be OUT OF CONTROL!!! I love the Big Sexy Hair Root Pump. It works wonders. Also the Big Sexy Hairspray along with the Short Sexy Pomade. LOVE IT!!

I love JEWELRY! My sister-in-law just told me the other day that I have become MORE girlie in my older years. I agree!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE make-up! Definitely a must have with eyeshadow is the Mary Kay Eye Primer. I love this stuff. I love the Mary Kay Mineral Powder. It's just so light and it doesn't really feel like your wearing anything. It's great!

I absolutely LOVED this day! I love everything about it. It was one of the best days of my life.

I love yard work. Charley and I were just talking the other day about putting our yard in and it's sad how excited we both get for it. In our last house we would fight over who's turn it was to mow the lawn. That's how PATHETIC we are. I would always just do it while he was at work, then it was over and done with.

I LOVE this show. I can quote this show from start to finish. It's probably the best show out there.

I LOVE capturing moments like this. They truly are the BEST things that happened to me! I can't imagine life without them.

I LOVE the sun! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. You can always find me out in it, even when it's BLASTED hot out there. I love going to St. George in the middle of summer and being in the hot sun out on the lake. It's WONDERFUL!

I LOVE these family pictures along with the saying above it.

I LOVE to work out as well. This is one of my favorite Work-Out programs. I also LOVE my Treadmill. I love the feeling after I'm all done with my work-out and the accomplishment that I feel afterwards.

I love this saying. When I am having a BUMMER of a day, I will just look at this saying and it usually makes me feel alittle better. I just LOVE President Hinckley. He was such a wonderful man.

I LOVE music. I love to dance to it, run to it, or just listen to it. It's so therapeutic. If you were a FLY on our wall, you would see a bunch of GEEKS dancing around the house when a favorite song came on.

Oh man! What would I do with-out my computer?? I LOVE this piece of Technology!!!

Here is my WEAKNESS!! I LOVE shoes. Charley's favorite thing to say to me is... " For every pair that you buy, you have to get rid of a pair"!! Like that has EVER happened. I seriously have issues with shoes. I love to get all dressed up and put on a good looking pair of heels! I do LOVE my Doc Marten boots too! They were the BEST 35 dollars EVER spent.

Now you have had a view of some of the things that I LOVE. Now I want to see yours! Don't forget... It can't be people :)

I think it's time...

2010-02-24T15:22:00.000-08:00

So the last couple of weeks I have been thinking about going Private with my blog. Here's why...
1. I have gotten alot of people comment on mine that I don't know..
2. There's some people that I know, that I don't want to look at it..
3. I'm just to the point that I don't really want the whole world to know what's going on with our lives..

So if you would like an Invite let me know. Email me your Email address at: moorecharley@yahoo.com and I will send you an invite. Thanks :)

Best Weekend EVER!!

2010-02-17T19:36:00.000-08:00

Over Valentines Weekend we had the opportunity to go to Jason and Holly's house in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We went with them and some of our other friends. It was a BLAST!! I don't know what was more fun... The late night talks or the talks around the dinner table?? Who am I kidding... The whole thing was AWESOME!! Thanks Jason and Holly for having us. I am already counting down to next year.

This is their lovely home.

This is what happens when you leave 4 GROWN men alone in a Wal*Mart...

And in a SOUVENIR shop...

This was our 2 a.m. DIP in the Ocean... YES!! it was freezing.

Dirk is all ready to go. The Ocean is calling his name....

This is what it did the night before we got in the ocean. It snowed while we were running, and it hadn't snowed there in 10 yrs. It was fun :)

Our friends Jason and Holly before the 5k. They both did great.

Our friends Travis and Sierra before the 5k. They did Awesome too.

Our other friends Dirk and Misty. This was Misty's first 5k and she did WONDERFUL.

Charley and I all geared up to run. It's a good thing we hit the Under Amour Store before the run. Otherwise, we would've FROZE our bums off!! We didn't think it would snow on us... CRAZY!!!

All of us got WONDERFUL pictures with out spouses.

Misty and I with our STELLAR glasses. We should've bought them, cause they are HOT...

We went dancing the last night that we were there. It was so much fun. I don't have any good pictures of us dancing, sorry!! But afterwards, the guys decided that they needed to do HANDSTANDS!! It was rather funny!!

Thanks again Jason and Holly! We had a BLAST. Thanks to Travis, Sierra, Misty and Dirk for making it fun as well.

SuPeR eXciTeD...

2010-02-16T18:05:00.000-08:00

I have wanted to go and see Sugarland for so long now and it's finally going to happen. Thanks to my friend Misty and her Mom we were able to snag some tickets this last Saturday for the May 7th show here in Utah. I am so excited. I haven't been this excited to go to a concert since I went and saw the Dixie Chicks and that was like 6 years ago.

OuCh.....

2010-02-01T15:39:00.001-08:00

All I can say is... OUCH!!! Last night right before we put the kids to bed, Ryelee decided to Pillow Surf!! ( whoever taught her this I will get you later ) Well as you can see, it didn't go too well. I'm not 100% positive of what happened I was in the other room, but when I asked Charley what happened, of course he didn't know so I asked Ryelee. Between the tears and blood she was able to tell me that she had decided to Pillow Surf. I'm pretty sure this WON'T be happening again.....

From this angle it isn't too bad...

But then when she looks up, you see this....

My Other Love....

2010-01-23T12:07:00.000-08:00

So this is my OTHER new love!! I love it so much, it's been so fun to be able to go down and run and not have to go anywhere, but down to your basement. It's been one of the best things that we have gotten. Thanks Babe.

nEw LoVe...

2010-01-14T20:33:00.000-08:00

This last week Charley informed me that he had found an AWESOME deal on an Eliptical. I love, love,love it so much. Thanks Char!!

IcE sKaTiNg....

2010-01-12T18:09:00.000-08:00

Last week as a family ( minus Charley ) we went Ice Skating up at the Ice Sheet. It was a blast!! The girls really enjoyed themselves. They were SO excited to finally see Kesley ( their future Aunt ) ice skate. She is awesome at it.

Getting ready to get on the ice... What was I thinking taking 2 little ones out there by myself??

Yes!! I made them wear their helmets. I didn't want any accidents while we were there. Come to think of it... I should've wrapped them in BUBBLE wrap, so their little bums wouldn't hurt after falling..... Next time :)

Ryelee was alittle nervous at first, but she did awesome.

This is my little brother and his fiance Kelsey. It was so fun to have her here with us the week after Christmas. She lives in Michigan so we don't get to see her very much, so it was just fun to hang out with her and see her ice skate.

Christmas Fun....

2010-01-02T20:41:00.001-08:00

Well as you can see Santa came to our house this year! You can see the EXCITEMENT on Ryelee's face. It was a great morning. Warning.... Photo Overload!!!!

Before Opening Presents....

So for a while now, Ryelee has been asking for a guitar. Well SANTA ( a.k.a. Daddy ) thought that she needed one, so that's what she got. Let me just say this... IT'S ALREADY BROKEN!! Nice..... She did love it the whole 24 hrs. that she had it.

Both of the girls got MP3 players and LOVE them so much. They wanted Ipods, but that's not going to happen....

This is what MY Santa brought me!! I love it so much. It's so fun to take AWESOME pictures. Thanks Babe.... I didn't have any pictures of Charley opening his presents, but he got a GPS for his truck, a 4 wheeler cover, and a new church shirt. It was a good Christmas.

So ever New Years Eve, we have Christmas #2 at my parents house. It's so fun! It makes Christmas Day less hectic, cause then we don't have SO many houses to go to. I have to just BRAG for a minute... The picture that my Mom is holding here... I made! Yes that's right!!! I am just alittle proud of it...

The kids were all SO excited about the pinata. The whole time that we were doing this, I feared for my dads life... In case anyone was wondering, no one got hurt!!

I just had to add this beautiful picture in. We were out sledding and I looked up and had to take the picture. This is the view that my parents see ever day. Isn't it so pretty??

All of the Daddy's sledding with their kids. They had so much fun.

Thanks Mom and Dad for the fun New Years Eve. It was a blast.

Quick Update...

2009-12-16T21:58:00.000-08:00

WOW! I have been a slacker... We have done so much these past couple of weeks, it's been crazy!! Last Friday we had our Ward Party and it was so fun for the kids. They had Santa and one of his Reindeer come. So fun! The girls absolutely loved it. As you can see, they were able to pet Comet. It's all they can talk about now.

Comet the Reindeer....

I'm not sure what Ryelee is doing in this picture. Santa's breath must be HORRIBLE!!! I don't know....

Payzlee wouldn't get close to him, but of course she wanted the ' GOODS '...

They made their first snowman with their Uncle Shane and my Grandparents dog Tootsie. They had so much fun. Thanks Shane!!

They also had their Dance Recitals. This was Payzlee's first one and she did pretty well. They froze their BUTTS off cause it ended up being outside... We didn't know until like 15 minutes or so before. Oh well! They had fun.

Ryelee and her class. They all did really well too! Ryelee had a wardrobe malfunction. Her little bracelet broke and it scattered everywhere. But instead of getting upset or trying to pick it all up, she just kept dancing. I was proud of her... Good job Ryelee.

After the Dance Recital, we decided that we might as well walk around and see the Christmas Village down in Ogden. I forgot to mention that's where their Recital was at... The girls absolutely loved it. Payzlee LOVES to take her picture with her Uncle Shane, so here is their photo!!

Ryelee loves to take her photo with him too! But as you can see.. they can never be serious in a photo. He taught her how to do this along time ago, and it has stuck ever since. So I thank him for all the photos like this.

All of the Squirts in front of one of the houses...

Birthday Girl....

2009-12-10T10:44:00.001-08:00

How does this happen?? How does a little girl go from a TINY baby, to a BIG 6 year old?? I just don't understand... Oh it makes me sad :( Happy Birthday Ryelee! I LOVE YOU....

Fun Decorations....

2009-12-06T13:07:00.000-08:00

Last night we were at Wal*mart and I decided to buy the girls their very own Christmas tree for their room. They were so excited. At first they asked if they could wait for their Dad to get home, but I had to remind them that he wouldn't be home til right before Christmas. That changed their minds alittle. They each have their OWN boxes with their OWN decorations that my Aunt Jennifer has given them. She gives them a new one every year. It's a fun tradition that's she's done since Ryelee was born.

Starting to decorate their tree...

This is the finished product. Didn't they do a good job??

This is our big tree! It's sad this year. I didn't notice that it tilts alittle at the top until this year. Oh well! You can't ask for much when it only cost me $10 bucks. Although, I will say this... I will be purchasing a Pre-Lit tree this next year. I don't EVER want to string lights again.

Holiday Fun...

2009-12-05T15:56:00.000-08:00

The other night, we went up to my Mom and Dad's and made gingerbread houses with all of the kids. They absolutely loved it. I think they all ate more candy than what was actually put on the houses.

The girls getting ready to add the 'Goods' to their house...

Working hard to build their house... They get that from their Dad :)

All of the Squirts... Thanks Mom for doing this for them. They loved it so much....

Disney On Ice.....

2009-11-19T21:02:00.000-08:00

Oh Man! Where do I start.??!!! As you can see I took the girls to Disney On Ice. They Loved it so much. It's amazing how much they loved it..

These are the Princesses that we went with... From Left to Right: Chloe, Payzlee, Hannah, Ryelee, Desiree, and Laney. They are all such Cute Girls.

This is all of the Princesses at the Ball. They were all in there Wedding Dresses! They were SO pretty.

The Fairy God-Mother!

Cinderella at the Ball. Sorry! My camera stinks. The batteries were shot. I'm just glad it lasted as long as it did.....

Cinderella's mice..

Cinderella after her " Wicked Step Sister's " ripped her dress!

Her Step Sisters and Wicked Step Mother. Once again I apologize for the photo!

Snow White asleep after eating the apple.

The witch giving her the apple.

The cute little Dwarfs....

This was the part that Payzlee waited for the whole night! All she could say was " When is Snow White coming out " and when she finally did, I think she clapped so hard that her little hands nearly fell off. She's such a sweet girl. I wish I could have gotten better pictures of Ariel 'cause that was Ryelee's favorite part too. She just loves Ariel, and she new exactly what she was going to buy with the money that Grandma Aaron gave her for the show. She bought a Ariel doll thingy! I really don't know how to explain it!! All I know is, it wasn't worth the money, but it makes her happy... right?? Payzlee got a Cinderella cup with slushy in it. Once again, not worth the money but it makes her happy! They both are such sweet girls. Thanks to the other ladies that went with us! It was so much fun.

ThE bIg 30!!

2009-11-09T07:53:00.000-08:00

Well it is officially here.... Charley's Birthday is today and he's the BIG 30!!! Let's all have a moment of silence..... No, I'm kidding! I just want to wish him a VERY happy birthday. He's the best. He's a wonderful father and husband and friend. I can't imagine life with out him and I can't wait to blog in 30 more years when he turns 60!!! I wonder if Blogging will still be around then.... Oh well! Happy Birthday Char! We love you....

Halloween 2009....

2009-11-02T19:56:00.000-08:00

We had so much fun this Halloween. The girls are the funnest age and they really enjoy going and getting FREE candy!! They both wanted to be Witches this year , and so that's what they were. My nieces, Skyla, Taytem and Avery were all Witches too!! Along with my Mom. So it definitely was the year to be a witch.. Here are a few photos of them in their costumes.

Sorry that the picture is DARK!!! I have yet to figure this camera out. Anyways, these are ALL of the witches... Minus our sweet little Avery!

My scary WITCHES!!!

Who said that Witches had to be UGLY?? This is my Beautiful WITCH....

My other BEAUTIFUL Witch!!

Fun Stuff...

2009-10-26T21:05:00.000-07:00

Well as you can see, we've made a visit to the Doctors Office. Ryelee got the nasty cold that's going around right now... And no, it wasn't swine, Thank Goodness!! So of course while your there they have you put masks on your kids, which to me is a good thing. Well Ryelee can't be the only one with one, so I had to let Payzlee wear one too 'cause she insisted. Now that she's over her sickness, they just play with them. It's so cute to see them wear them and play doctor.

The last weekend that Charley was here, he so kindly installed these LOVELY lights. I love them so much. He did such a great job too.

This last Friday we had a FREAKY FRIDAY for our ward and it was so much fun.... They had all these things to do like : Bow making, Etching of pans, Eating, and these Count Down Blocks... It was so much fun. My blocks didn't get all the way done 'cause these little bows/flowers took forever. It was so fun just to have some adult interaction and just to have some ME time. I can't wait for the next one...

I also made this clock. I haven't found the PERFECT spot for it yet, but when I do I will post a picture of it...

You know when you have a spot in your house that just isn't VERY appealing?? Well this is my spot. It's the Entertainment Thing, and right now I can't think of the right word for it. Anyways, it's the dumb thing that holds all of your DVDS and Surround Sound crap. Well it just wasn't doing it for me so I decided to SPICE it up alittle. So here's what I did.

In NeEd Of HeLp....

2009-10-13T12:09:00.000-07:00

Okay! So here's my dilemma.. Charley's birthday is in a month and he will be the big 30!!! I have NO idea what do for it.... So I need every ones help and suggestions of what to do. I kind of want it to be a surprise, but I just don't know!!! * sigh * So if any of you have any suggestions, please leave a comment and let me know!! Thanks so much :)

Fun Conference Weekend..

2009-10-08T21:47:00.000-07:00

This last weekend Charley was home from Nevada and so I put him to work! He first installed some Sconces in our bed room. I love them! I have been asking him to do them ever since we moved in, and he finally got around to doing it. They look so good. I also got a new Bedspread and a new bed. I love them. Our other bed is down in the basement and we are going to set it up for guests, so feel free to come and stay! We now have a bed for you...

As you can see, we are getting into the Halloween Festivities. Charley's mom brought this HUGE spider-web to us and the girls were so excited to put it up. It's so fun to see them get so excited for this kind of stuff. We now have to go out that door all the time just to look at it.

We also made some Sugar Cookies and decorated them with Grandma! They were so YUMMY...

This was the best part of the WHOLE weekend! My Mother-in-law brought down this Gingerbread Haunted House! The girls got to decorate it with her and put the candy on it all by themselves. It was so fun to just sit back and watch them do it. I got alot of laundry done, my house cleaned.... well everything except the kitchen :) It was wonderful having someone else here to entertain them other than me!!! If you look at the side of this picture, you can see that she burnt the Gingerbread! It gave it the Haunted look. It's so dang cute..

This is the front of it!!!

These are my 2 little Monsters!! I love their faces in this...

Thanks so much Aaron for coming down and letting Charley and I have a date night!! Sorta... If you call going to Wal*mart together!!! It just was nice to be with him after he had been gone for 2 weeks. We love you and thanks again...

So Beautiful..

2009-10-01T14:35:00.000-07:00

I have to admit.. I am so not excited about the weather change, but I couldn't help but take a picture of the beautiful mountains. This is what I get to look at every day and it's just So Beautiful. I am so grateful that we moved where we did. I get this view everyday, no matter what. Nothing will take this away from me, and I am so Thankful for that.

3 AlReAdY???!!!

2009-09-22T21:16:00.000-07:00

Can you believe that my little Payzlee Rae is 3??? I can't even believe it. Where did the time go?? She's such a sweetheart. I love when she comes into my bed in the mornings and gives me a big kiss and a hug and tells me that she missed me while she was sleeping!! She's so precious! Ryelee and her are starting to be the best of friends ( most of the time anyways ). We are going to celebrate her birthday when her Daddy gets home next week, so I will have to post pictures of the party. She did how ever get some stuff already! She got a new outfit from Grandpa Danny and Jenny, and a new outfit from Grandma and Aunt Willi, some fingernail polish and chap stick from out neighbors, a Snow White Barbie Doll from Mom and Dad and a new crib for her babies from Ryelee. Needless to say... She's already made out like a bandit.

We love you Payzlee, and we wouldn't know what to do with out you!!

Good-bye 25!! Hello 26...

2009-09-21T13:16:00.000-07:00

Well I'm not so sure how I feel about turning the big 26! I don't know what's worse.. Getting closer to 50 or spending it alone??!!
When I say alone I mean without Charley!! He's out of town for work and won't be home for a couple of weeks or so, but that's okay, Ryelee and Payzlee are here with me so I'm not completely alone! We knew that he was going to be gone over Payzlee's birthday too, so we took advantage of the weekend and went to the zoo with him. It was so much fun. We went with my Mom, My sister Sarah and her 2 kids, and My Sister-in-law and her kids too. The kids had so much fun seeing the new baby animals. I wanted to take the little Giraffe home with me, but I figured it wouldn't fit in my car!! Thanks for a fun weekend everyone!!

Rye's New Do!!

2009-09-10T20:54:00.001-07:00

Ryelee for the longest time has been bugging me to take her and get her hair cut!! Well, I finally did it today, call me crazy, but I did it. I had my brother's kids and then my 2 and thought to myself... What can I do with four girls?? Well.. I took them to McDonald's first and let them get worn out ( or hyper ) and then to the salon to get it cut!! Well they did awesome, and so did Ryelee. She absolutely loves it and I do too. Hopefully next week when her Daddy gets home he will too.

New Stuff...

2009-09-08T22:10:00.001-07:00

Well as you can see, I have re-decorated my front entry way of my house.. My Grandpa Montgomery made this lovely Hutch for me about 5 yrs. ago and I have never had a perfect place for it in my last house. Now that we are at our new home and getting settled, I decided to dig it out of my Dad's shed and put it to use. It's not all the way done yet.. I was just excited to show people. If there's anyone out there, that is just itching to come and help me put the finishing touches on this house, you are more that welcome to:) HELP!!

Last week, Michael's was having this awesome sale on frames, so of course I went and bought some. These frames are so dang cute. You can't really tell, but they are like an old barn wood that looks dis-stressed. I love them. The best part about them is.. They were on clearance for $12.99 and I got them for $6.50, thanks to a 50% off coupon. I was so excited;)

Last but not least... This is our Blanket of sticker weeds. Sick hu?? Charley and I worked Saturday morning on the front of the yard and this is what we got. We're just waiting for them to dry out alittle more, then we will be burning the darn things. The sad thing is... We've sprayed them at least 4 times and we've scraped them 3 times. * Sigh *

1st Day Of School... Sniff:)

2009-08-31T22:39:00.000-07:00

Well it's official!!! My little Ryelee is in kindergarten. I can't believe it. It seems just like yesterday I had her. It's crazy how fast time goes by. She did good though. I asked her when she got home, how it was and what they did. She proceeded to tell me that it was Boring and that the best thing about school is the Bus Ride. Oh... Little does she know!!!

Her 1st day of school outfit...

I love this hair bow!! But could it be any bigger. I guess;)

All of the kids waiting for the bus.

Getting ready to leave... sniff

Driving away with alittle piece of my Heart...

2009-08-29T10:14:00.001-07:00

This is the face of the newest Journeyman Electrician in the State of Utah.. Yay!!
I am so proud of him. He's worked so hard to get this test passed and he did it. Good Job Charley. We are so proud of you and your hard work.. Congrats;)

St. George Trip...

2009-08-28T16:42:00.001-07:00

I just love this beach!! It's the perfect beach for kids to just play. It's not too shallow and it's not too deep. It's just perfect..

Charley's thinking " What have I gotten myself into " the kids LOVE the tube.. Especially Payzlee. She's fearless...

Ryelee didn't want to go with anyone other than Uncle Jeremy.

The place that we stay at every year when they turn on the water at night, the frogs come out. I'm not going to lie, it's gross but the kids love to catch them. Luckily their Aunt Sarah likes to catch them, so she goes with them to do it. Avery wasn't so sure about the whole frog thing.

Payzlee on the other hand LOVED them. She was sad when we released them.

Payzlee asleep on the boat...

Out little Trey-Man....

Ryelee lovin' the boat..

Once again.. I love this beach:)

Our little Fish...

Our other little Fish....

2009-07-29T17:33:00.000-07:00

Oh.. to be young again!! On Sunday we were at my grandparents house and these little SWEETHEARTS were so HOT, so we caved in and decided to let them play in the pool. Well we weren't really planning on swimming so we didn't have any swim-suits or anything, so my sweet grandma came up with the idea of putting a Handkerchief with a shoe lace on them and making it into a swim top. Rather clever I thought. They really enjoyed themselves splashing and playing together.

Family Night at the Rodeo..

2009-07-25T09:03:00.000-07:00

Taking the Angry bull back. ( Maybe it has Mad Cow?? )

This is the favorite event... Bull Riding:)

Ryelee got a hold of my camera and took this picture of herself. She did a pretty good job.

Payzlee taking it all in...

Our little Trey-man enjoying his HUGE slushy..

It is true!! I love the Ogden Rodeo. Thanks to my Dad, we are able to go every year. They girls are at the fun age where they get all dressed up in their " Cowgirl Boots " and their "Cowgirl Skirts " and they think they are " Hot Stuff ". Not to mention the atmosphere is great. I love to see all the horses, bulls and the little calves that they rope. It's so fun to watch. I can't wait 'til next year:)

Family Fun:)

2009-07-10T13:47:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how behind I am. Sorry;) Anyways, this 4th Of July we went up to Idaho Falls to be with Charley's mom and step dad. It was so much fun. The Fireworks were awesome and how could they not be. My father-in-law said that the guys that puts the show on spends somewhere around a MILLION dollars on them. CRAZY!!!

We arrived on Friday and this is how we were welcomed!! Charley enjoyed himself attacking all the women with water. He was soaked. Ryelee and Payzlee loved it too.

We also went to the Idaho Falls parade and the girls were fascinated with all the dancers. I don't think Payzlee sat down once. She danced the whole time.

This last week I had the whole week off so we FINALLY were able to go to the North Ogden Pool. It was so much fun. I think swimming is my girls most Favorite thing in the whole world.

This is Payzlee's version on swimming. She actually is a very good swimmer. She dives down to get the rings and stuff. Ryelee loves to put her goggles on and dive too. I feel bad that I don't have a picture of her with them on 'cause she's so cute with them on.

We were also lucky enough to go to the Dinosaur Park with some of our cousins that are here visiting. It was so fun. Here they are being little PALEONTOLOGISTS.

Can you imagine having one of these things chasing after you. I think I would lay down and cry. This summer has been so much fun and it's only going to get even more fun.

WhEn I gRoW uP!!!

2009-07-02T20:49:00.000-07:00

The last little while I have been deciding what I want to do "When I Grow Up". Well it's official I'm going to take the plunge and start school for the Dental Hygiene program. I have been wanting to do it for a really long time and I've just been thinking about it alot lately and really trying to see if it's a good move for me and it's the only thing that I feel really good about doing. So needless to say, I will be pulling up my big girl panties and heading back to school. I'm alittle scared and I hope that I can do it, but with some strong determination, I think I can do it. Wish me luck:)

WARNING!!!!! OVERLOAD....

2009-06-20T14:02:00.001-07:00

UPDATE: This is what my front flower patches look like now.
I'm just a little upset 'cause the left one has an INFESTATION of ANTS!!! So needless to say,
I've had to kill them and plant some more flowers. Thanks to my Mom I always have enough.

The other day the girls were pretty quiet so I decided to go look for them and this is what I found.. Payzlee wearing my Red High Heels. She was walking in them better than I do. She's funny;)

Back in the day there was this thing called " THE SUN " and we use to go and play outside in the water.... Oh how I wish it would come back!! Anyways, the first part of June I took the girls to the Splash Pad out in S.Ogden and they had a blast. Some of our friends ;from our new ward and our old ward, along with our cousins Skyla and Taytem came as well.

Ryelee had her dance Recital as well. This is them dancing to " Material Girl " their outfits were all so cute.

Being " Hula Girls " :)

And last but not least... " Take me out to the ball game ". They did so good. I can't wait to see them do it again.

Ryelee also started T-Ball this last Thursday. It was so funny to see just how UN-coordinated they were. Some of them would run to 3rd rather than 1st and they would just stand there after they would hit the ball. So So So funny! Charley wasn't able to make it 'cause he was in Boise for work, but hopefully he will be able to make it this week.

Having snacks after the game. Well deserved that's for sure:)

This last week, Ryelee had been bugging us to get her a new bike. ( Well I should say me 'cause Charley was out of town ) but anyways... So I told her that we would wait for her Daddy to come home and we would go and get her one. Well the other night we were standing around talking to some of our neighbors and our neighbor across the street brought this bike over to her!!! Oh my goodness.. You should've seen her face. It was like I had just told her that we were going to go to Disneyland. So CUTE. Thanks to Bryce ( our neighbor ) he was able to pump up the tires so that she could ride it and not have to wait for her Daddy to get home at the end of the week.

We have the best neighbors and couldn't have moved to a better place.

So needless to say... Payzlee got herself her own Big Girl bike as well. She loves it so much. Charley came home yesterday and the first thing he did was put her training wheels on. She rides it so good. She always makes sure that she's wearing her glasses. She's so stinkin' cute in them too.

Minus the WEATHER.... It's been a pretty fun summer so far. I am sure we will have more photos to share later. Between work and play, we are staying pretty busy. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy as much as we did :)

Still Time....

2009-06-17T15:13:00.000-07:00

If anyone missed the Scentsy party and wanted to come, you can still order stuff. The party will close on Saturday so you can order what you need. All you need to do is go to www.scentsy.com/kopenshaw and find the MY EVENTS icon ( it's on the left hand side of the page ) then you can just take it from there and order your stuff. Pretty easy hu? I will receive the orders a couple of days after the 4th of July, so it won't take too long to get it all here. Thanks so much:)

Happy Anniversary!!!

2009-06-15T09:29:00.000-07:00

WOW! I can't believe it. Charley and I have been married for 7 yrs today. CRAZY!!! We celebrated it over the weekend and it was so fun. We went to dinner at Tucanos down at the Gateway and it was so good. Then we treated ourselves to ColdStone Ice Cream. It was so Yummy! It was a fun night. It's so crazy to think that we've been married for this long. We've for sure had our ups and downs but who hasn't??!! Anyways, Happy Anniversary Char! Thanks for all you do for our family! I love you.

Invitation to all...

2009-06-05T16:08:00.000-07:00

I just wanted everyone to know that I will be having a Scentsy Party.

It will be on the 13th of June @ 1:00-3:00. It will be at my house so if anyone is interested in

coming email me @ moorecharley@yahoo.com and I will email you our address so that you can come. Thanks so much!

Lot's of Stuff...

2009-06-03T20:52:00.000-07:00

Okay! So I have been really LAME and I haven't POSTED anything for so long! So I am so sorry for the PHOTO OVERLOAD!!! We have had so much happen the last couple of weeks, and so now I will SHARE our EXCITEMENT!!

So 2 out of 3 of my boys GRADUATED:( They are all grown up and I can't believe it. Turner is going to go to school and working and Kyle will be turning in his Mission papers soon and in the mean time he will be working on the Farm for my Grandpa. They are such good boys and I wish them the best:)

Ryelee also Graduated from her Pre-School this last week too. I can't believe that my little girl is going to be in Kindergarten this next fall. It almost brings me to tears. She loved Miss Janna so much and I don't think it's FULLY set in that she won't be her teacher anymore. I guess she will find out when she goes to school this fall.

We gave Miss Janna this beautiful hanging basket. She loved it! Thanks to my MOM! She grows the most beautiful baskets in her greenhouse! It's been a crazy last couple of weeks, but it's finally slowing down. It's been fun and I'm glad it's OUR LIFE:)

P90X here we come....

2009-05-18T08:33:00.000-07:00

We finally did it!! Charley and I have been debating whether or not to buy the work out videos P90X, and yesterday I was on the Internet just looking around at different options and found it brand new for a KILLER deal. So I ordered it and hopefully we will get it in like a week or so. I am so dang excited. Hopefully in 90 days we will be looking Hot! I will post pictures if we get some dang good results:)

Bitter Sweet....

2009-05-12T08:56:00.000-07:00

Last night, we lost someone that has been in our lives for years. Ralph wasn't a relative, but he might as well been. He was in his 90's and he had been a widower for like 6 yrs. now, so that's why I named the post Bitter Sweet 'cause that's what it is. He has reunited with the love of his life and is happier. We usually see him once a year 'cause he lived down in California, but my mom talked to him regularly to check up on him. It's sad 'cause he was basically my mom's grandpa. We will miss him, but we know he's in a better place now. We love you Ralph and we are looking forward to when we see you again.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

2009-05-09T23:02:00.000-07:00

"A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie." ~Tenneva Jordan

I just want to take a quick second and wish my Mom a Happy Mother's Day! She's the greatest lady that I know, and she's my best friend. Thanks Mom for everything that you do for me.
I love ya!
Also, my Mother-in-law! Thanks for all that you do too! You're a wonderful Mother, Grandma and Friend. We love you!
And to all of my Friends! I hope that your day is WONDERFUL!!

WoRk In PrOgReSs...

2009-05-08T14:20:00.000-07:00

This is the BEFORE.... What a MESS!

This is the AFTER...

I have most of my flowers planted in this one. All I need is some

bushes to put along the porch. I'm not a big fan of just bare concrete!!

Hopefully, the flowers will bloom and be pretty. When that happens I will post a photo of them:)

And this one is still a WORK IN PROGRESS!

I haven't planted anything in this one yet! Charley just Tilled it up for me and we

need to bring in some dirt so that it will be level. Hopefully, this next week I will get it all planted.

Then I can get started on my GARDEN!! I love that my mom has her own GREENHOUSE! Then I get just about anything that I want. Thanks MOM!

What a Day!

2009-05-01T21:10:00.000-07:00

Oh man, WHAT A DAY!!! I tell you.... First off it started out CRAZY then it just went down hill from there. Let me explain....
I went to the gym this morning with my friend Gina and we were running on the Treadmill, when we all of a sudden needed to go to the bathroom. Well I started to slow mine down and she was still going, when all of a sudden I felt really Light Headed. Well I sat down on the Edge of the Treadmill ( luckily it was off ) and I did the whole " Head between the Legs thing " and apparently that didn't work because the next thing that I remember is all of the Paramedics standing over me. It was INSANE!! So then they were very PERSISTENT that I go to the Hospital to get checked out. Well then that FREAKED me out. I mean what was I going to do with my kids. They were in the daycare and they would've FREAKED!! So luckily my friend Gina to them with her up to my other friend Andrea's house. Charley, the wonderful husband that he is, came and got me ( cause I refused to go in and Ambulance ) and took me up to Ogden Regional. Well everything is FINE!! It just so happens that when you eat just a piece of toast at 7 in the morning, that alone is not enough. So I have been advised to eat more than that. **** Big Sigh Of Relief**** I was sure that they were going to find a Brain Tumor or something. But everything is Great!! Thank goodness. Thanks Gina and Andrea for all of your help, and to Charley for coming and being with me!

Kindergarten Round-up!!

2009-04-27T12:43:00.001-07:00

Well it's official! My little Ryelee is getting big. Today we had to go and do all of the FUN stuff for Kindergarten Round-Up, and it was sad. I can't believe that she's already that age. Where did the time go?? She did awesome with the SHOTS, and the PRICKING of the finger. ( I would've passed out,if it were me ) Here's her results: Weight: 40.8 Lbs which is 25% and her

Height : 43 1/2 In. which is 50%. Apparently she needs to eat more. I wouldn't have thought that when I try to pick her up!! Her vision is 20/20 on both sides. Her hearing was great! ( I had them do it twice 'cause I SWEAR she can't HEAR!! )

I am so proud of her and I know she will have so much fun in Kindergarten, and we are so glad that she's ours forever! We love you Ryelee Jo....

HaPpY bIRtHdAy HaYlEy MoRgAn..

2009-04-19T11:11:00.001-07:00

I just wanted to make a quick little post and wish this amazing girl a Happy Birthday. Her name is Hayley Morgan Montgomery and she is my cousin, but she's really like my daughter. She truly is a remarkable young lady and I look up to her. She has been through alot in her life and it really has made her a better person and a stronger person. She is one of my best friends and I just love her so much and can't believe that she is 19. Where did the time go? Anyways, Happy Birthday Hayley. Love Ya!

Just a Preview...

2009-04-14T21:52:00.000-07:00

Well, I have been really busy the last couple of days. I don't really do well with just plain walls so therefore, I have painted my entry wall RED and then I started painting the girls' room a Dark Chocolate. I LOVE THEM!!! The girls' room isn't 100% done yet. Hopefully I will get it all painted tomorrow and then we can start the Bead Board. Anyways, here's the first few photos of the Red wall and the kids room.

We're going to do a Wayne's Coat of Bead Board. I'm going to paint it a Cream color and then put stain on top of it and wipe that off, then it will have the Rustic look.

Darn Ladder gets in the way... I will post more of this room when I get it all done.

This is my Red wall. I need to take a picture of it now that it's some what decorated. I may do that sometime, but this is it for now.

Fun Easter Day!

2009-04-13T08:46:00.000-07:00

Easter this year was so fun. We had lot of places to go and people to see.
We started out at Grandma and Grandpa Willson's house and had a YUMMY dinner.

Then we had a fun Egg Hunt. So Warning to everyone..... This is an OVERLOAD of photos. ENJOY!

Getting ready to start the Egg Hunt.

Finding a clue out by the Hay along with some eggs.

Going to the next clue out by the Swings and Shed.

Then back to the Tree behind the House.

Finding the LOOT after the hunt.. We filled this HUGE eggs with prizes and stuff. They loved them. Thanks Heidi for letting us use them.

This is little "Stud Muffin" Trey. He was so cute with his glasses.

Afterwards, the girls wanted to go out and see the new Bulls. While they were out there, they decided to do alittle dance on a bail of hay!

After all of that fun stuff, we headed up to Charley's Dad's house and had an Easter Egg Hunt too. Along with more Yummy Food!

Ryelee finding her Big egg filled with candy!

Payzlee finding her goodies too!

All in All, it was a fun day. The girls enjoyed it and when we are all done they came home and slept like Babies! Thanks to everyone who made this a Fun day for us. We love you!

Charley's Toy!!

2009-04-13T08:35:00.000-07:00

So, over the weekend Charley decided to get a 4-wheeler. He's been looking and looking and he finally found one. He was so funny driving home, he had a smile from ear to ear.

This is him getting it out of the truck and getting ready to take off down the road.
I'm sure all of our new neighbors love us by now.

Payzlee just loves it. I thought I had a picture of Ryelee, but I guess I don't. I will have to get one. But they both love it and just want to ride it all the time.

New House....

2009-04-06T21:16:00.001-07:00

Here's one of the first rooms that is ALMOST done in our new place.

I love this kitchen. I can't believe how much space I have to cook. I actually enjoy cooking now.

The thing that I love the most is the Concrete Counter tops. Love them! I can just put hot things on them and not worry about damaging the surface, and I can cut right on them too. It's been fun putting it all together.

This is Charley's new toy. He's been wanting one for so long and now that we have a back porch big enough to BBQ on, he went right out and bought one. We BBQ'd tonight and it was so good. I'm pretty sure this is how we will be eating for the next few months. So if anyone is in the mood, come on over!! I will post some more when I get the rest of the rooms put together.

I just want to make a quick little post and wish my Grandma Willson a Happy Birthday.

She's such an amazing person and I am so glad that she is my Grandma. She's the most giving and caring person that I know. I just love her and just wanted to wish her Happy Birthday. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA!

FINALLY!!!

2009-04-01T13:11:00.000-07:00

So we are finally in our new house. HOORAY!! We've been in for 3 days now and I'm loving every minute of it. Charley was a very busy guy the night that we moved in. He had to get the blinds up, the washer/dry hooked up, the beds set up before he left the next morning for Vernal 'cause I can't go a week with out my bed and washer/dryer. But we are here and I could pee my pants. We at first thought that it would be just a week that we would be homeless, but then it went on 2 weeks and then 3 weeks and I was just getting use to the idea of being homeless and out of my element. Then exactly a month later, we signed on the house and now we are here. I will post pictures of it when i get some decorations up.

Homeless...

2009-02-26T11:08:00.000-08:00

Well it's official. My worst fear has come true!! We are Homeless!! We signed the papers today and it is officially out of our names. Yeah!! Yikes!! What did we get ourselves into??? We are so excited that it finally happened, and we can't wait to get into our new home. I just have to keep telling myself that we will only be homeless for a week and then we can move in and get settled and get on with our lives. Also, just a shout out to all of the wonderful people that brought boxes to us. Thank You!!

Good Job Girls!!

2009-02-22T12:22:00.001-08:00

We finally put Ryelee in dance, and she loves it. Aunt Heidi teaches her and she is so cute doing it. She takes it with her cousin Skyla, and well I do have to say, they are so stinkin' cute out there dancing. She's been wanting to start dance, and when Heidi told me that she was going to teach, I knew that it was time for her to start dance. Thanks Heidi!

All lined up ready to start. ( well sorta lined up )

Making sure to pose just right.

Heidi on the floor " dancing " with them.

Being little Horse's in their dance. (Kind of )

All done!!

Thanks to everyone that came and supported the Ryelee while she danced. We love you!!

2009-02-17T21:18:00.000-08:00

So I just have to say that I am really stressed out right now!! We just got a phone call and the lady that's buying our house wants to move up the dates on closing. WHAT!! So now we have got to kill ourselves in getting this house 100% done. We will succeed, it will just take some time. ( But not much, we don't have time to waste ) Anyways, if anyone is feeling the URGE to pack or if you just have boxes that you want to get rid of come my way.

So Cute...

2009-02-15T20:23:00.000-08:00

Well it's that time of year again. The baby calves are so cute. We went out tonight on the Back Hoe and looked them over and it was the ' High Light ' of the girls night. They are so stinkin' cute, running and kickin'. It's just cute. We have 5 so far and hopefully will be getting more this week. The funnest thing is when we get to feed them with a bottle and they suck on your fingers. It's fun.

NeW hOuSe...

2009-02-14T20:24:00.001-08:00

Well this is it. This is our new home, and I am so excited. It is up in Willard, exactly 1.5 miles from Smith and Edwards ( a.k.a. Smuttin' Uglies ) so not too far but yet has the country feel. It's on a 1/2 acre which we are so happy about. We've always wanted to have a big garden and I guess now we can have it. The girls love it and are just as excited as we are. The only problem I'm having with it is... I don't know where I'm going to put my RED WALL . HELP!! The best part of the whole house is.... the fact that there is a room for just Charley. He's always wanted to have mounted heads of dead animals hanging on the wall and I don't so much like that, sooo out in the garage there is a Man Cave for just him. Then when he actually gets those animals, I won't have to see them.

UpDaTe....

2009-02-12T22:03:00.000-08:00

Alright, well I know that I said that I would update everyone about what is happening with us so here it is.... We did indeed sell our house, all is well with that, for now! We have a house up in Willard, so we are just waiting for everything to go through so that we can move in to it. We are hoping to move in to it as close to March 4th as we can. We close on our house on the 4th so we really don't want to be homeless for too long, so all we can do is wait. I'm starting to pack-UGH- I hate it, but it's a good excuse to de-clutter,right? I will be posting photos of the new house real soon. The thing that I'm the most excited for is, it's only 4 minutes away from Ryelee's school. ( sigh of relief ) I have been, for the last 2 years, driving her out to Farr West for school, and I can't wait to just be able to go home after I drop her off, rather than finding something to do for the 2 1/2 hrs. that she's in school. It's just not worth going home 'cause then I just have to turn around and go get her. Anyways, that's the UPDATE on the Moore's. I know that you've all been waiting and wondering, so there you go!!

My Little Dentist...

2009-02-07T20:03:00.000-08:00

This was one of my favorite gifts that " Santa " gave the girls. It's a dental set for play dough. It's fun. Anyways, when I got home from the Gym this morning, Payzlee was playing with it and she was so funny. She would drill on the toy and then she would drill in her mouth. She would say, " His mouth is Owie " smart little cookie. She loves it when we go into my work and she has me look in her mouth. She's definitely my daughter!

It's Circus Time...

2009-02-01T20:54:00.000-08:00

On Saturday, my sister-in-law, Heidi called and asked if we wanted to go to the circus with her and her two girls at the Weber County Fair Grounds. It was fun. The kids loved it. I wasn't so sure that I wanted to go, but I am really glad that we did. Thanks Heidi for inviting us! I will post photos of it when I get them from Heidi 'cause of course I forgot my camera.

So after many, many,many months of having our house for sale, it is finally under contract. WAHOOO! I am so excited, but now the stress of finding a new home and moving is going to come real fast and I'm not too excited about that. We are going tomorrow after Charley gets off work and looking at some houses, so that should be fun. We have until March 4th to be out, so we have alittle bit of time, which is good. Let's just hope that everything goes smooth and the way it's suppose too. I will keep everyone informed on what is happening.

Getting ready to board the ship.

This is Jamaica, it was our first Port. The people there are like flies on poop, they're every where and they don't leave you alone until you give them some money, but it was fun.

This is us getting ready to get back on the ship after Jamaica. It was a fun day. We walked up a waterfall called " Dunn River Falls " and it was fun. We toured alittle of Jamaica and went to the Flea Market and got " HIGH "! Charley was shocked that he actually got offered " the wacky weed " he really didn't think that they came up to you and offered it to you. It was funny.

Grand Cayman, our Second Port. We went swimming with the sting-rays, or should I say, everyone else went swimming and I took pictures. I got in the water and thought that I was brave, but I did not like the fact that they were swimming around me. NO THANK YOU!!! Charley loved it and I was glad.

Picture of a Sting-ray ( from the boat )

Charley also went snorkeling. I didn't do this either. Call me a dork, I know! But I couldn't make myself put something in my mouth that had been in someone else's mouth. I looked at them and they had bite marks on them and once again, NO THANK YOU!! Later I found out that I could have purchased a new snorkel for 5 dollars on the ship, and if I would've known that I would've gone snorkeling.

Charley getting done with the sting-rays and getting ready to go snorkeling.

This is Cozumel, our last Port. I have more photos of this place, but I don't know where they would be. Anyways, we were walking along the sidewalk shopping, and Charley saw this. He had to take a picture of it so that he could show the guys at work. It's their control box or something. He thought that it was pretty funny that it was out in the open for everyone to see.

These are our cute little towel character things that our Steward made for us every night.

Not for sure what this one is... maybe a Rabbit being sexy??

Cute little Hippo or something??

Cute little Rabbit.

Cute Elephant, this one was probably my favorite.

And our Monkey hanging from the lights. Charley thought that I would be funny to pretend to grab his man hood.

It was a very fun vacation, and I am so glad that we were able to go. Thanks to everyone for making this vacation possible for us to go on, and for everyone who helped with our kids and our dog. It helps out to know that we can go on a vacation with out our kids and that they will be taken care of, so thanks everyone. I will be posting more photos as soon as I get them from my Mother-in-law.
