Da-Dad Hats

Kjell loves putting on Matthew's welding caps. Matthew was sitting on the couch yesterday and Kjell notice that Da-Dad was not wearing one of his hats , so he went and got one for him. He makes sure that Da-Dad is always wearing one and that Grampa is wearing his hat all the time.

The other day I took a phone message for Alice, a lady at the office I work with. I asked Kjell to take the message to Alice, there is two people in each office, he went straight into her office and handed her the phone message that I written. Every morning when each person comes into the office he opens their door for them.

He makes sure that Grandma is wearing her slippers. That he needs tooth paste on tooth brush so he can brush his teeth. How to get things out of the microwave. Knowing that we are close to Grandpa's House. That when he is hungry, he get up in his high chair.

I had brought one of Lily's pacifier to church to give to Sara from last week and he pulled out and said Lily and tried to go look for her.

He amazes me all the time for all the little things he does.

Erik's Birthday Party

The flu has been going through the Moore household this week and of course I was the one that would get it the day before Erik's Birthday Party. For all that know me, Birthday Party are really important to me. I always have a theme, balloons, games (pinata) cake (decorated in the same theme and goodie bags with items that fit the theme...I know, they probably won't remember it later in there life.

Not feeling good, I was worried how I was going to do Erik's Party. Thanks to the hard work from my n-laws, (Auntie Sara) made a beautiful cake, got and filled 400 pieces of candy in a soccer ball pinata, and (Grandma Moore) made up some goodie bags. Erik's Birthday party turn out to be a blast. Thank you, Thank you! I couldn't of done it without you guys.

Here are the pictures from Erik's Birthday Party.

Anyone Out There

Kjell loves to look out our front door through the mail slot. I never been able to get a picture of until today. He normally shut the door before I can a take picture. He loves seeing and talking to the people outside.

Erik's Golden Birthday

Today is Erik's Golden Birthday. It is 7th of January and he is turning 7 years old.

It is amazing to me to look through my pictures and see how he has changed through the years.

I am so lucky to have him. His sweet personality, the way he makes me laugh, the joy he has put in our lives and the love he shares with us all.

Erik, I love you so much! Have a great birthday!

Christmas Day

It been really different this year with having to fight with the bad weather. We didn't do the usual things we do for Christmas.. no pictures with Santa, no driving around to look at all the Christmas lights, not being able to get all of our Christmas shopping done and a lot other things that I can think of for some reason...I guess they aren't has important as I thought they were. I still waiting for the clothes from Old Navy. I ordered clothes around the 12th of December for Christmas pictures that have been re-routed so many times from UPS. I think I will be lucky to get by the first of the year. So here is the picture for this Christmas 2008...in their new pajamas.

The boys were excited about want they got for Christmas. That is all that matters. Karl got is "Whimsy" Dragon, that he really wanted for long time. Erik got the Wii games he wanted. Kjell loves the toys he got ...I'm hoping some of batteries run out soon. :)

Santa Claus brings them a orange in their stocking...I think Kjell claimed all of boys for himself. I had a hard time getting it from him to peel it.

We had a quite dinner here on Christmas Day, which was real nice. We started with veggie and dip...Kjell had more dip then veggie, he wanted to dip everything from crackers to veggie, he ate over half the dip. A ham for the boys, a roast for Matthew and I, rolls and sprinkling cider... not glamours but tasted wonderful. My Mom brought us cookie dough for the boys to make. They are chocolate cookie that they roll the dough into ball then roll them again in powder sugar. They had blast making them and they tasted so good. It turned out so be great day after all. I hope that you had a wonderful holiday too. Have a happy New Year!

Moore Snow

I can't believe how much snow we got...it snowed for the last two days. Today we finally got rain , but it is not helping the road ways at all. It is real hard to get out of the driveway. The day before Christmas Eve, the boys and their cousins played in the snow. Jason (Matthew's Brother) and his kids were in town, Veronica, Gerrit, and Jeanene. Also Lauren and Kathryn came over to play with kids. 8 kids in one household for more then 2 days can be handful, but they had fun and everyone is still in tact. Here are some of the pictures of them playing in the snow.

Lauren, Karl and Jeanene making snow angels:

They buried Veronica in the snow and went snow diving. Burrr it was cold outside!

Veronica tasting the icilies. Jeanene has wedge her way down so that feet touch the grass.

Karl and Erik working on the bottom circle for their snow man. Erik is making the head. Lauren is making the center of the snowman.

This is my favorite one. Lauren, Karl and Erik with their finished snowman.

Snow

These pictures are from last week when it snow real bad. We don't have any snow clothing ...we rarely see snow, unless we go up in the mountains. I ordered mittens , hats and coats, but with the weather so bad , the package has not arrived from UPS. They probably will show up after the snow it melted. We had 12.5" inches snow by the morning and it was still snowing when they when out to play in it.
