4th of July Holiday Fun

My kids are so excited when it is the 4th of July. They can blow things up all day long and not get in trouble for it. They ahead off to Boom City (It is on the Indian Reservation. They have a lot of vendors selling fireworks that legal and illegal) at 9:30am. The truck was packed with people: my brother-n-law, Benjamin, Lauren, Kathryn, Karl, Erik and Matthew was driving.

I forgot to get my tabs on my red truck ...my husband got pull over for expired tabs..let say he was not very happy with me. The police officer must of seen all the 4 kids in the truck because he let him off with a warning. It is $250 fine for expired tabs. The police officer must of known where they were going. Lucky they were going down to Boom City and not coming back because the officer could of confiscated the firework they bought. They came back a few hours later with lots and lots of fireworks...of course the kids didn't think so. They had a enough to blow up for a couple of hours. Here are some pictures:

Lily loved watching the fireworks.

Kjell on the other hand did not like it the fireworks at all ; which surprises me all the rest of kids had to be in the thick of it all. They were lighting fireworks at the age 2 or earlier.

It was fun day and no one got too burnt... Hope you had a fun 4th of July.

A Very Special Day

Karl received the Aaronic Priesthood today. Here is the picture of all the people that came to share this special with Karl and his Family. We all squeezed into a small room a little bigger than this stair way. We are so proud of Karl and his decision he has made to be worthy to receive this priesthood.

I had to stand up in front of the Primary today and give a talk about Karl. I think he was more embarrassed by his mother crying than the baby pictures I sent around the room. The other day I found something he made using my name so I thought this would be a great way to share my feelings about Karl in Primary...this what I tried to say:

K - Kind- Karl is very kind to others and makes friends easily. King- He was name after a Swedish King . He is from royal birth. He is a king in my eyes. I very bless to have in my life.

A -Adore- His brothers love and cherish him . They always want to be near him. Actor- Loves to act and had many star roles in plays. Athletic - He great at sports of all kinds,but most of all loves to run and he is real good at it. He wants to join cross country this year in school.

R - Responsible - Karl helps around the house and watches over his little brother. Respectful - He is very respectful to the people around him.

L - He is loved and is very lovable.

My girls that teach in Primary told me ..."it was good but you shouldn't of cry...Karl isn't going anywhere". I know but in a few years he will be off on mission, next getting married, then having kids of his own . My little boy isn't little anymore he is becoming a man. Today he took another great step in life. I'm so proud of him. I love him very much. I know that he was sent to this family for a purpose. I am so glad to be his Mom.

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.

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.
