Marshall's Blessing

On August 8th 2011 our 3rd boy Marshall James Moore was blessed! It was such an awesome day! We had a lot of conflicts as when to bless him but finally settled on a date when he was almost 4 months old.

I was kind of sad because he wound't be able to wear the blessing outfit Jackson was blessed in because he was a cute chubby little boy & had packed on the cuteness! Luckily, I had just made some tie onesies & the one I made worked out perfect....he looked so cute! I am so bad at taking pictures when I am hosting! I need to remember to give someone the job of taking lost of pictures!

I have the best dad in the whole world....no really I do :) We had the after party at my parent's house because we are still in the condo look for a house & there is no way everyone would fit in there..... especially with no yard! SO......what does my dad do? Rents a huge circus tent for the event so everyone could sit nicely in some shade! WOW!! THANKS again dad ....it was great!

The weather was awesome & our whole family came! We had homemade Cafe Rio salads and Italian sodas....which I love!

Since we had everyone together we decided we could celebrate Jackson and Ethan's birthdays that day too. Jackson's is in July & Ethan's is in August. It was perfect to celebrate all of our boys together!

The boys got some great presents! THANKS for all the nice gifts.

It was so cute....Ethan and Jackson got a train set from Kyle & Shilo. My nephew Easton is really into trains & when they opened it he was so excited! He kept asking me if he could open it and play with it. I couldn't resist....so I left the party & we went inside to play. He is so cute! Of course I didn't get a picture of him playing with it....just of Ethan....I am lame:)

It was a great day! I feel really blessed to have such great families that get along & are very supportive. I love they all live close by.....which is quite rare to have everyone still in the same area! I love that Kevin was able to bless all 3 of our boys & has a great way with words. I really love that we have 3 boys! Thanks Marshall for coming to our family & making us VERY happy!! We love you!

Crazy sleeping brothers

Every once in awhile I find my boys in odd sleeping positions. I thought this one was pretty cute. They were in their separate beds when they first went to sleep. Then we went to check on them as we were going to bed & this is what we found. How in the world did Jackson end up on Ethan's bed & on top of him :) Interesting!! :)

OUCH!!

On the 1st of August Kevin & I were going out on a date to Desert Star......yes Desert Star. We dropped the boys off at my parents house & my dad decided to take the boys up to Carl's Jr. for dinner. They decided to ride bikes up there. About 15 minutes after we left we got a call from my sister saying that Ethan fell off his bike & this is what we saw when we got back to their house...... lovely!

It was cute my sister was on her way to a party, saw Ethan and my dad after he fell. She took the time to help my little E! What a nice Aunt he has!

It was funny, when I was on the phone with Jami......all I could think about was "I hope it is his chipped to that was hit." SILLY me! He chipped his tooth when he was about 10 months old on some curbing & the tooth didn't abscess or anything so we just left it figuring it would just fall out.......but no............. he hit his other front tooth.

It is sad to see you kid in pain, he is was very brave. His tooth ended up falling out the next day & the tooth fairy came. He left a note asking if he could keep his tooth. The next day he came running up stairs saying...."the tooth fairy stole my tooth!" he was very upset :) I then told him did you look under your bed maybe it fell off....he found it & all was good.

You are sure a brave kid! We love your toothless grin!

Marshall 3 months

What can I say about my Marshall?? I LOVE THIS BOY!! He is the cutest, happiest little guy! He has been an angel from the beginning! Nothing phases this kid....he is just content with life & with whatever he is doing. He hardly cries.....is always smiling.....will go to anybody.....just a cute boy! This is not the best picture but....I love that I finally got around to making him some onesies with ties on them. I was at my friends house over the 4th & we made some ties! It was fun! I totally wished we lived by each other....I would be over to her house everyday making something with her.....I love to craft with her!

My cute niece Halen LOVES Marshall....it's fun having a newborn again. She is always asking me when she can see him again. I love when she texts me & asks! She is such a cute girl!! He is a great baby to hold! She is so good with him :)

One of my favorite things.....is to cuddle with my boys & fall asleep with them! Ahhhhh.....:)

MMMMMMMMM.....mister blue eyes....I think I will just get lost in them :)

I love making him laugh & being with this boy! I am SO happy that we decided to have another one & couldn't imagine a more perfect boy! WE LOVE YOU MARSHALL JAMES!! HAPPY 3 months

Jackson's 4th Birthday

WOW....my cute little Jackson is 4!! I was just thinking back to the time when I was pregnant with him & how crazy it all seems. It was a roller coaster of a pregnancy....from the very beginning to the end. I was on & off bed rest the whole time......afraid every second of the day that we would lose that boy.....then an emergency c-section at the end! It was a crazy 9months, but I would do it again for that boy.

He is my mister adventure, loves monster trucks, loves being his big brothers shadow, would do anything Ethan tells him (regardless of what I say)...he talks to me non stop all day....he loves to act crazy with me & dance around.......loves to help me out around the house...love to play dress up....will eat almost everything & sometimes doesn't stop...has the cutest smile & laugh....i love his perfect teeth :) Love that when I ask him to do something he doesn't want to he will drop to the floor & says "my leg hurt!!" SILLY BOY!!

It was pretty funny when Jackson woke up on his birthday. The night before we blew up balloons & left a bunch of them right outside his door for him to wake up to. Kevin & I were in bed then all the sudden in the morning we could hear all this screaming & running around. We came downstairs & find Jackson running naked thorough the balloons screaming "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY !" ....so funny! We do have pictures of it but........ I thought I would spare you & him the embarrassment :)

I let the boys pick out a special cereal for their birthday.....since we never buy the sugar cereals. As you can see the winner was......... Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

It was so nice to have his birthday on out small little patio....don't get me wrong I am very grateful we have this condo to live it while we find a home...but I would LOVE a yard again!!

We had a fun time opening presents & spraying him with silly string! He got some legos & a new Razor scooter.....he loves it! THANKS Jackson for coming to us & making us very happy! We love you!!!

Planet Play

For Jackson's 4th Birthday we decided to try out Planet Play. It was alright, nothing fancy, but..... it was fun! Hardly anyone was there, so it was nice. They have a buffet you can eat all day long until you are loaded up with carbs! The boys loved it...... they could just keep going back & get whatever they wanted.

We played a little black lighted neon mint-golf. It was pretty fun & no one was in there with us. You would hit the ball off coarse & have no idea where it went. It would just blend in with the other neon stuff all over. Then I would find it later on after I would almost twist my ankle while stepping on it :) I laugh every time I see this pictures of Jackson :)

We did a little laser tagging......which my boys love! It is fun to play with them & run around. They keep me going all day long! I love having boys!

Now onto a little mini-bowling. It was a fun place to get away & be crazy!

Midway Vacation

On July 16th we took a little vacation up in Midway with some friends. We spent the day up in Park City going on the Apline slide and coaster. That coaster is pretty awesome ....yee haw!! I am SO mad! I took pictures of us on the alpine slide & they are no where to be found.....that is CRAPPY! Maybe I will magically find them one day & then I can add them to this post! :) Well.....we just chilled....went swimming......just hung out.......nothing fancy, which i love sometimes.

Here is my cute daughter! I wish.....Miss Ella is SO stinkin' cute & I love her to pieces!

The kids were a little crazy that weekend & our friends had a rough night :(....but it was fun...THANKS

4th of July Idaho Style

We went to our friends house in Idaho to celebrate the 4th of July. It was SO much fun & we are very grateful to our AWESOME friends for letting us take over their house & entertaining us!

Here are some pictures of my cute Marshall & his new friend Trayden....who was born about a month after. It was cute to see them together!

Our friends have a nice big backyard.....we had a great slip-n-slide party on the 4th.

This is their cute girl Natalie in the jeep with Ethan. They were pretty cute riding around together :) I decided I needed a picture of me....this is all I found....me feeding Marshall with my head down. Seriously girl......I need to take pictures of myself so I know I was there. Also, we took a picture of the cute cake that Amanda made.....I love themed food...so cute!

On the 2nd we went & spent a day at a cool lake. It was a perfect day! Yes...that is my handsome husband on the beach. The 3 men had fun out in the lake trying to stand up on a kayak, it was fun to watch!

On the 4th we went to watch a parade...it was fun. Then we watched a great firework show that night.....special vip seating. It was so crazy & so loud. I left Marshall in the car sleeping....the car was right by us...just so ya know :) They funny thing is that Jackson fell asleep during the show....how odd! We had a great & packed day....I think we wore the boys out!

We had a great time there! They have a fire pit outside & Jared serenaded us on the guitar. He is really good! It was such a laid back couple of days....we really had fun!
THANKS FOR THE FUN TIME

Random pictures of Marshall ~ 2 months old

Here are some random pictures of my boys....well mostly Marshall. I am so in love with this boy! He make me SO happy......I love to see him smile & laugh! I love how much he loves his big brothers & how happy he gets when he sees them.

At his 2 month appointment the doctor told me he had a heart murmur which I hate hearing anything not normal about my kids. I knew it wasn't too bad because he was still eating and growing well:( He said it was a grade 2-3 & that we would listen to it in a month. Then at his 3 month it was at a 1 and then his 4 month it was all gone!! Yeah! I'm glad it just went away on it's own. I love my Marshall!!!

Family Picnic

This year in June, Kevin's family had a family picnic up Big Cottonwood Canyon...thanks to his brother Kyle. He gets this great spot to have a little party. I love it there......lots of grass, trees, no one around, great view of the mountains....it's just fun!

This is my brother in law...Kyle & his wife Shilo....who is expecting their 2nd girl in October.

This is my cute niece Megan and Marshall.

It was a fun time up there! I love hanging out with Kevin's family. The water up there was CrAzY!!

I miss my 4Runner

It was a sad day in June when I had to get rid of my 4Runner that I had for 4 years. I loved driving it.....I broke down & get me one of these...............

............yes............I am officially a mom. Do you like the awesome picture we took of it. I realized that we haven't take a picture of it. I guess it wan't the highlight of our year. Yes........ I was one of those girls that said I would NEVER own a mini-van....but then I realized it was just perfect for me....yeah me :)

I decided we needed a bigger vehicle for our large family of 3 BOYS & this is what just made sense for me. I actually really like it & it has fit us well. I really like it on trips & I love the doors....it's great with a new born! I just hate that I'm getting old & need one of these. I don't mind it at all.....but I realized I am gonna miss my 4runner when winter hits :(
