GOING PRIVATE

2010-09-03T18:31:00.000-07:00

Well I've decided to go private...although I don't ever post anyway. But I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, because right now in my life I don't want to take the time to update. If and when I start it up again, I will let everyone know! I hope everyone's had a great summer!

Dirt Bike Kids #1 & #2
Kid #2 got her 1st TOOTH today, yipee!!!
This is Devun & Brynne getting ready for bed...I couldn't resist taking their picture! I just want to eat them up (speaking of eating...kid #1 has been the BEST eater lately, I'm so proud of him)!

Notice the #s on their back?

NOTHING LIKE SLEEPING CHILDREN!
My kids are so much fun...but they wear me out. I love the peace while they're asleep and their sweet, innocent little faces!

_________________________________________________
...By the way, just when things have finally been settling down and I am getting in a routine, enjoying my children, figuring out how to get a little extra time...life changes! We're moving to Phelan. I'm so excited to be closer to family and friends but extremely sad to leave our ward and the friends we've made (They're amazing). I guess now I've got a fresh start, now all I need to do is get into a new groove!

2009-03-03T10:33:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!!!! Gary you are an AMAZING husband and truly the BEST DAD EVER! We LOVE you soooooo much, sorry we're not with you today...we miss you & can't wait to see you tomorrow!!! I love you, you mean everything to me! xoxoxoxo and more!

2009-03-02T14:14:00.000-08:00

Brynne's 1st Valentine's Day...I love when you smile so BIG!

Devun & Brynne relaxing together...so sweet! We love you both, you are pure happiness!

Brynne you're getting so big!

We watched Hudsen & Clarke and we had so much fun with them. Clarke and Dev were the first ones to sleep and Hudsen & I stayed up PRETTY late...she is hilarious, we love you two!

At the park with the ducks and friends, it was hilarious because everyone loved feeding the ducks...except Devun (he's scared of them and still tells us he is scared of them). Go figure the boy who could get all beat up and not cry is scared of pretty much all animals, we love you Devun...you're a crack up!

Disneyland/ California Adventure again, we're living it up while we still have passes!!! Devun is obsessed with the LIVE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...it's so fun!

2009-02-10T11:53:00.000-08:00

What a Blast!!! Rochelle and Ranalee (my cousins) came down this weekend, all the way from Idaho, to get some sunshine...that didn't happen! We had such a great time, even though there was no warmth. We got to spend a lot of time together (thanks to Gary, who helped out with the kids a TON). In this pic we were at Extreme Makeover Home Edition in Phelan, with Nicole and Madie, we had quite the hike to get there and were freezing!!! I love you guys so much thanks for coming down, you're the best!

Disneyland & San Diego Zoo

2009-02-02T12:03:00.000-08:00

Disneyland with just my hubby and me! It was so fun to have a date together, with no kids(thanks Sally, for watching the kids last thursday)! We went on all the rides we wanted to go on without a stroller, diapers or sippy cup...Gary, you mean everything to me, It was a perfect day!
I LOVE YOU!

The next day my Mom and I took the kids to the San Diego Zoo. The weather was beautiful, the drive was long, but we needed to catch up on life, so it was great! Devun and Brynne were so content there (since sometimes devun seems to belong at there). It was just was the kids needed! Mom, thanks for driving all the way to Burbank to so we could go together!

Another Birthday Girl!

2009-01-29T22:30:00.000-08:00

Brynne, Happy Birthday to you!
Don't worry I have not forgotten about you...one birthday girl at a time. Plus I didn't think I needed to spotlight you since your hair has done enough shining for you. lol (ok I know that really wasn't funny, we'll get everything looking perfect on Tuesday). Well it has been an adventure since we first became friends and continues to do so. We've been through a lot and I just love the time we spend together, you can always make me laugh, even in my dreams:) I'm so glad our little Brynnie was named after you, you are so special to us, it's an honor that you let us name her after you. Thanks for all the great times, I know there is much more to come! We love you Big Brynne & hope your BIRTHDAY was perfect!

2009-01-29T12:13:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLIE!!!
Sorry I'm such a knuckle head (I'm talking about this morning). I actually wanted to do a little spotlight on you about a month ago, so I'll do it now:) I just wanted to let you know how amazing I think you are, you seem to always have such a good balance with everything from being a wife, mother, friend, homemaker, decorator, you're always in style and so much more! I truly hope that my children love me the way I see that your boys love you. You are an inspiration to me, I love you! I am so grateful you are my sister, I'm so blessed to have you in my life! We all love you and miss you so much! Happy Birthday to you!

Burbank Playdate!

2009-01-28T21:02:00.000-08:00

Here's looking at you kids...Dallin, Austin, Devun, Brynne, Makena, & Trevor, what a cute little bunch they are, and boy did they play great together! I actually only witnessed a few toys being thrown at one another (yes that was Devun...sorry guys) and one punch in the face from one brother to the other (but those boys are tough and didn't even blink...Ash I don't know if you even saw that,lol). It was so fun to watch their different personalities interact and so much fun hanging out with Carly and Ash, thanks for driving all the way up here...

A Day at the Marsh Home

2009-01-24T13:09:00.000-08:00

Yesterday the kids and I wen't down to see Carly's place before theymove. Let me just say...Devun and Makena thought they were hilarious! They were cracking eachother up (and of course, us too)! We had so much fun down there and can't wait to see them again on Monday -Ashley, you better be there:) By the way is anyone impressed that I blogged one day after something happened, instead of a month? (well probably not, but I am. lol) Thanks Carly!

Playing catch-up again!

2009-01-22T13:14:00.000-08:00

CABIN IN DUCK CREEK, UT.
We had a blast up at our Grandparent's
cabin...we have gone pretty much every
year since I can remember and love doing it!
Devun loved the snow, especially eating it and
going on the tubes(he got launched a few times
& wanted to keep doing it!) Brynne was
content being indoors hanging out with Grandma.

Snowed In!
I was up in Wrightwood working on Tuesday which I always do, I stay the night
at my parent's house & go home on Wednesdays... WELL not this week! We've gotten over a foot of snow & it's still going... luckily my Mom couldn't get out to go to work (for my sake of course!). So she's been helping me with the kids all day. The saddest thing is we're missing Gary A LOT and hope he is doing okay without all our craziness...

VOTING...prop 8
This will be quick and obviously quite late...since absentee ballots are already sent off!!! I just wanted to share with everyone how important it is to vote and especially for what you believe in. I was listening to this song by Joe Nichols (it is the one that should be playing right now), "If nobody believed in you." And in it he talks about how God was taken out of our schools. And now, with Prop 8, they are trying to put other things into schools without anybody having control of what is taught..... I feel very strongly that we all need to do our part so that our children can learn about families (traditional marriage) through example (and hopefully that will be in our homes, not at school). If you want to learn more go to... protectmarriage.com

Ears Pierced!!!

(at 6 weeks old)

Brynne got her ears pierced today by Grandma. She was so brave, although I wasn't... I went outside with the kids & Steph stayed inside to help Mom. She did great & she looks so stinkin' cute, I love them, thanks Mom.

Grandma giving Brynne some love!

The kids who don't like to share

their Grandma, Seriously!!!

Shout out to Leslie... we thought about you & how

much you love doing this girly stuff,

we love you & miss you...

OUR FIRST FAMILY PHOTO!

(I've been up a lot since I have a newborn, and have had a lot of time to think, but not to do- that's where all these scattered thoughts come from). I have a passion for photography, (not that I ever have time to persue it), and 2 1/2 weeks after Brynne was born I realized we had not taken one picture together as a family, so here's our "auto snap shot" in our white walled apartment. Doesn't Brynne look so happy? (she was starving, but anyone who knows me knows... pictures first!). Besides all that nonsense I want to say what a lucky girl I am for all the blessings in my life, I have the greatest family in the world that goes for my immediate, extended and friends. I feel so blessed to have so much love and support in my life. I came from such a great family and hope that I can give that to my husband and children, I owe my parents big time for all they've done and do for me-they're amazing! Thanks to all of you who Encourage, Uplift, and Inspire me (especially through blogging)!

2008-08-11T17:20:00.000-07:00

I love my babies, they
truly are miracles!!!

She is so precious, I just
want to munch on her.

This is the first time Devun held Brynne
at the house. He held her for 25 minutes
straight, & now after every nap the first
thing he says is, "baby?" and he looks
around for her.

What would I do without my Mom?
She came over for a couple days to
help and I needed it!

2008-08-07T16:50:00.000-07:00

Brynne Marie Moore

Devun loves his lil' sis...

Mommy-daughter time,does she look like me...?

Wide-eyed and ready to meet the world (thank you everyone for all your love and support, and the visits-we love you!)

2008-08-07T16:25:00.000-07:00

Devun's 1st Dodger Game! We had a lot fun, especially since the stadium is only about 20 minutes away, it was perfect...

2008-07-20T16:32:00.000-07:00

Devun is wearing Gary's tie from when he was little. I just can't believe how time flies, I try to cherish the moment, but life rushes by so fast! Those 2 boys make me so happy!

2008-07-18T02:58:00.000-07:00

IT'S A GIRL!

Well I had an ultrasound done today because my doctor had a couple concerns with the baby(we will find out results in the next couple of days). While I was at my appt. the technician asked if I knew what I was having- "A BOY" (I thought)! Well she looked confused, but said nothing, and kept on with her business. At the end of the appt. she said, "You're not having a boy, you're having a girl." I was very shocked, and since she knew this, she brought another tech. in the room- who confirmed it was definetly a girl! There was a student tech. there who also thought it was a girl. They couldn't believe someone actually told us we were having a boy, because it was so clear. Well, I guess we'll find out what this sweet little baby is soon!!!

2008-07-18T02:31:00.000-07:00

Devun loves his cousin Hudsen! He always asks to play with with "Su..sin."

2008-07-15T00:57:00.000-07:00

Riding is one of Gary's passions, next to rough housing with Devun, and USC football! When do boys grow up? I heard once, "They never stop playing with toys, they just get more expensive-that's the truth!)

Daddy & Devun- these 2 boys can't get enough! They would ride all day, everyday if they could.(Gary's pushing me to get our little man a bike- I'm scared!)

Gary, Shane & Darrin enjoy their last "BIG" ride together before Shane moves away. We're gonna miss their family.

2008-06-29T16:20:00.000-07:00

"What do I want to

get into next?"

Devun is like most 2 two year olds,

always trying to figure out a new

way to get into trouble!

2008-06-29T15:42:00.000-07:00

"The loves of my life"

Gary, Devun and Baby

2008-06-29T15:33:00.000-07:00

A Day at Newport Beach

Devun is growing so fast,

it makes me realize how fast time flies, to think he is already 2

and is going to be a big brother!
