Listen up FMXers!

I would totally put this on the FMX page but everytime I have tried to join, it does not work. I guess I am retarded. I do check it though and wish I could comment on everyones great accomplishments. I would have been training already if it weren't for the condition that I have been in. (ps. check out that floating baby's # today... woot woot!) I hope after I recover a bit I can be as cool as all of you (and get robs iPod buying butt outside- he bought an ipod to train and has used it for that purpose twice, sorry honey, I still love you!)
Okay enough about us slackers! I wanted to post about this because it is such a good cause. This week our Bishop sent out an email asking us to fast for this family on feb. 1st. I will just post what he says... "Many of you may know the Bailey twins from the Desert Hills ward. They are 2-year-old conjoined twins, Emma and Taylor, who share a heart. Specifically, we are hoping that the fast will provide the family with additional strength as they move forward with decisions on separation, heart transplants, and other issues that they are facing. We would also ask that ward members remember the family in prayers that are offered during meetings this Sunday." If anyone wants to join the fast that would be so good for their family... BUT also on Valentines day they are having their first fundraising event that involves MARATHONS. I know some of you are all about those marathons lately and this is one of the best causes I have ever heard of. They also have other stuff that would be so much fun for the kids, so even if you aren't into a run, still check out the site. check out their website at www.twosistersoneheart.com
Sorry this post was so long... love you all!

Lenard is TWELVE!....

Hard to believe and AMAZING, I know. Lenard is 12, will soon have the priesthood, be in Jr. High, and is going to MUTUAL tonight!! I love this young man more than I can say, I am proud of him and his accomplishments!! Here is a little look back at Lenard (or Grant....whatever the case may be, LOL!)

We love you Lenard!!

I finally posted.

I have posted tons of stuff on our blog to try to catch up!!!! I can't re-do them all here, but go check them out on our Moore family blog! Love you guys!

Hiking with Honey...

Last Saturday was a great day for a hike. Donald, Shannon, Molly, and me all had a great time. The desert is beautiful. There is lots of water at the top of the canyon. What we did not realize was that poor Honey has very tender feet and that is a very rocky trail. We ended up helping Honey out as best we could. As you can see, we employed several different methods of carrying. We love you Honey and hope your feet continue to heal quickly.

Another "FIRST" for 2009....

On Monday night for family night we had a FHE about Money.....spending it, saving it, budgeting it, etc. As part of that, we wanted to get the kids started with their first savings accounts (and it counts for Jon's scouts too!!). So today after school, I took them down to the bank and they each got thier own savings account. It was kind of fun, and they feel all "grown-up" about it too. I only had my phone with me for pics, so this is all I was able to get....

Sadie lost her first tooth!....

Sadie lost her first tooth on New Years Day!! The grown up tooth that is replacing it was already in......it came in in OCTOBER!! Weird!! She was scared for her tooth to come out, but was SO excited and proud once it did!

She sold it to Grandpa Daly for $5.....who needs a toothfairy when you can get that kind of a deal?

Graduation is around the corner...

Hi everyone...James' graduation is just around the corner, so I thought we'd give some info about it incase anyone want to come. It is Saturday, May 9. I am not sure about how many people can go to the actual ceremony...we are finding out about that. Susie and Jaba already said they are coming and would like to stay with us. That kind of maxes our our 800 square feet, but we would be happy to get hotel info for everybody! James will be in AZ from March 17-24 to do business and hopefully make some good contacts and come up with a practice! WOW!!! It is so crazy. Love you. We'll let you know more info as we get it!

Just some random Pics.....Finally

Just some random pictures from the las couple of months. Donna and Dean spent a few days with us over new years and we were able to get this 1000 piece puzzle done. It was a very tricky one.


Proof that Bruce did actually get into the ice skates. He did get on the ice and then off again. we all had so much fun. Thanks for taking some really great pictures Bruce.



Rob on the little 5o at the dunes. Hold that pose buddy. :0




Sadie and me after the parade. Just chillin and waitin.

Holiday Magic at Disneyland....

This was our first time at Disneyland when it was COLD. We usually go in the summer or fall....and it is always hot. I LOVED being there in the cold. It was kind of rainy both days....or more drizzly, misty, foggy....whatever it was it was AWESOME! It must have kept some people away, because I did not think it was terribly crowded. Nancy came with us and Lennie's dad came too. It was SUPER fun, and we really cannot wait to go back. We even got EVEYRONE....yes even all the kids.....on Tower of Terror!! That will probably never happen again, lol, so it was quite impresive! Here are some pics from our Wintery Disney Trip.....

Taxes anyone?

I have bought Turbo Tax, and it is installed and ready to go on my computer!! I have already pre-done my taxes (don't have the actual w-2's so I have to wait to finalize them)....gotta love a year when you get a refund!!

Let me know when and if you want to come by and do taxes.

Christmas Joys...

Here are a couple of things that brought us joy this Christmas....

Christmas day started out opening presents at our house...and the rest of the day was spent at Mom and Dad's....another WONDERFUL time!! We ate (and we ate WELL!!), exchanged gifts, and played played played. All the while we were missing our out-of-town families terribly. We really look forward to being all together again for the holidays soon!!

At one point in the day, Uncle Rob went outside and fired up Braden's dirtbike, which was still up at the house from the dunes trip I guess. Jon heard it, and next think you know, he was zipping around the yard and down the road!! He took to it FAST....even though he'd never ridden one before. He loves it, and I think we are in for much more dirt bike ridding in our future!!

and PS - I didn't know he was riding until I was called outside to watch...I promptly got him a HELMET (after I snapped the photos of course)!!

We also got a fun box of goodies from our friends Merce and Manolo in Ponferrada, Spain. Lots of Spanish sweets! We were all very excited about it, especially the kids!

We hope all our friends and family had wonderful holidays and a happy new year!!!

Pictures from the dunes!

I had SO much fun when we went to Buttercup the week of Christmas! I even went with out my husband! I got to drive out there with Mom and we talked a lot on the drive and I really enjoyed that. And camping in the coldy windy dunes was fun. RIDING was AWESOME! We played games. We had a campfire going all the time. We had a really fun time. I wish so bad that we could do that again with more of us together. I know we will. We've done it before and we'll do it again!

The cutest couple of ever.

Me and Mom

I'm so glad Spencer and Braden came. Braden was learning and he did such a good job and it made it so fun!

Rob and Megs and Doggys

Esteffen and Ali

One night we went to Algodones, Mexico for some so very deliciouso spicy tacos MMMMMMMMMMM!

It was very very fun. PLEASE dad can we do it again??????!!!!! PLEASE!? With Donald? I know he's your favorite son-in-law.

While Grandma and Grandpa were here...

Brody and Tallie ended up being sick the whole time, so we couldn't do a lot of what we had planned. But the kids still loved every minute with their grandparents. While I stayed home with the sick ones, they got to go ice skating and they had so much fun. All Kaden's heelie - ing paid off for him and he was a natural. Dad even got on a pair of skates and decided to take them off 1/4 of the way around the rink. :) Thanks Dad for taking the pictures. Mom and I tried to go running, but it was so snowy that it really didn't work. We did maybe a mile and came home, but it was fun to try it. They helped the boys do some puzzles that they got for Christmas and played games, read stories, and made memories. Thanks Mom and Dad for coming! When we dropped them off at the airport and drove away Bryton said, "I miss them already!"
