Happy Birthday Karl!

Can you believe it? I can't. My "Littleman" is twelve today. He will be ordained to a Deacon tomorrow at church. My little Karl passing the sacrament??? I am very proud of him and the decision he has made to receive the priesthood. I just still can't believe that.... he is twelve.

We will have 7 - twelve year olds this year in our families (Countryman & Moore). Dansil was the first one to turn twelve in March, Veronica in April, Karl and Lauren in June, Gavin in August, Victoria in October and Reece in December. What were we thinking.

I love you, Karl, have a wonderful birthday!

Look Who Is Two

Happy Birthday Kjell!

It is amazing to me that he is two already. He still is into everything that he not suppose to be. Loves being outside, he would stay outside for hours if I would let him. Loves Harley Motorcycles, every time a motorcycle come by he has to point it out, of course everything is "Harley". Loves foods...constantly in the cupboards opening up the cereal boxes and pouring himself a bowl. Lately we been finding bite marks out of the vegetables in the garden. Loves his brothers a lot. He wakes them up in the morning with screaming their names and giving them a kiss. Loves is Daddy more than me...that can be annoying sometimes. Won't sleep in his crib anymore...wants to be next to someone. Loves the bath, Pizza, Spongebob Squarepants, music and dancing. Wants to do things all by himself. Walks up and down stairs with the use of the handrail. Very independent still. Loves being in the action. I love you Kjelly, have a great birthday.

Matthew, I love you!

• I love the way he loves me
• I love the way he loves his children
• I love his determination. If he wants something, he will never give up.
• I love the he never tells me "no". If I wants something, he always tells me to get it.
• I love his cooking especially his potato soup
• I love that he knows the gospel
• I love his willing to serve others
• I love how he comforts me
• I love that he loves me for who I am

I am truly grateful to have a wonderful husband and a great father for our children. I hope that our boys will be great fathers to their wives and children as you are to us. Happy Father's Day!

I'm Still Here

I lost my camera (which is Sherrie's camera, that I don't plan on giving back:). I was never a big fan of digital picture taking, but to be able to post or see a pictures instantly has it advantages. My first real camera came from my parents on Graduation and it something I'm truly grateful and will cherish it for my rest of my life. I have shot a lot of precious moments and wonderful memories with it. I just have to remember to look at my scrapbooks to see them. I love pictures. Every time you look at pictures it sparks a memory you had.

I been moving my Craft(crap) Room up stairs to make room for Anna, our exchange student from Sweden coming to school this fall. It has given me the chance to look at my scrapbooks that I have not looked at for a very long time. For those who don't do this I hope you start and those who already do scrapbooking know how fun it is. This a great way to keep records of your family to be share with generations to come. All the wonderful memories and to be able to share them with my kids that is... priceless.

Who Could Ask For Anything Moore

Do I need to say anything moore....I love these boys. I'm so glad that I'm their Mom! Three gorgeous little boys. Karl turns twelve next month , but he will always be to me, my littleman.

Mother's Day 2009

Easter...only a couple of weeks late

We try to get out of this , this year with everything going on,but I think if we didn't have them color eggs we would've regret it. It been awhile to have a little one at the table, coloring eggs. Kjell was too young last year to get in the thick of things, but he was so excited to do it this year. The funny thing is he had the same colors as the rest of them,but only seem to like green...some might remember when Erik was little, him eating the blue tablet. He still doesn't believe he did this, but we have pictures to prove it.

Well this year it was the green dye for Kjell. He couldn't get the eggs in the green dye fast enough. He keep using his hands to put the eggs in the dye. Some times trying to get 3 eggs in dye at a time. Yes, silly us this was 2 days before Sunday. What was I thinking...

The rest had fun too.... here is Erik, Lauren, Kathryn and Karl dying eggs.

Next Kjell went on a practice run at Grandma's House... it was more for Grandma and Grandpa to see Kjell hunt for eggs.

The next day we went to my sister, Cheri's Annual Easter Egg Hunt at her house. The kids collected about a 3 dozen a piece...way to much candy filled eggs, but they thought it was great. Karl went for prize eggs that took him about 10 minutes to get to it, there was about 1/2 roll of duct tape around it. Kjell notice they had candy in them and stop after the first one. All the kids took a prize home. Here are some of the pictures:

Easter morning...boy did it come early. We have early morning church. Here is what the Easter Bunny brought:

I was thinking that I would have their hair cut and make them dress up again before I posted these, but who am I kidding, it like pulling teeth at my house to have my boys dress up..maybe Mother's Day if I could be so lucky. Here are some pictures of my handsome boys in their Easter outfits:

Spring Break, Disneyland and Moore

I'm sorry I have not posted in a looooong time. We went to Disneyland for Spring Break for those who don't read Sara's Blog. I didn't realize that most of Washington and California would have their Spring Break at the same time. We met a lot of people in the lines that came from Washington. And there was a lot of waiting in lines. The last day they figured out if you go as a single rider, you can go on alot faster. They had a blast not riding with each other. They are all real social people, who like to meet new people. We also met a lot people from New Zealand and Australia in our hotel that was on Spring Break as well.

Erik's Favorite Ride is the Thunder Mountain:

Karl's and Lauren's Favorite Ride is the California Screamin:

Kathryn's and My Favorite Ride is the Grizzly River Run:

They had fun with Goofy...Goofy took Lauren's Hat then she was about to tell Goofy how much she paid for it but didn't. Then he quickly gave it back to her. Nothing is cheap in Disneyland.

This was Erik's first time on Plane which made him real nervous. He kept on saying that "it only takes two days to get there by car". He surprises me that he worry about that ,but wanted to ride the Hollywood Tower of Terror over and over. Every time...I get on it, it scares me and I know what to expect.

We had a lot fun and it was nice not having Kjell there. The kids were able to ride as much as they wanted and when ever they wanted...me too! I got to ride on Autopia for the first time. It was harder then I thought it would be. I thought you just sit in car and it pulled you around the course. Nope, Erik got to drive it and boy did he hit those corner. I love trading the pins just as much as the kids...I wish we bought a lot more on EBay before we left. We had so much fun trading them with Cast Members. We ran out of trader on Thursday...but all of them have two lanyards of their own.
