Roller Blading with the Ward

Joey and Joe just chillin! Joe did not want to break anything so he was watching from the sidelines! He had fun chillin with the other parents!

Joey and me on the floor! This is his first time rollerblading and he did an AMAZING JOB!! He fell time and time again, but he always got back up with a smile on his face!

Joey and this little guy, Rylee, were playing tag. It was both of their first time to do this!! It was a great evening!

A member of our Bishopric is the owner of the skating rink and he opens it up to the "ward" on mutual night once a year!! It was so much fun!!

Side note, I didn't fall once...Mission Accomplished!

First Drive-In Movie

So we decided that we would go to the drive-in Movie for FHE. This was our first time as our little family was able to do it!

The Boys just chillin waiting for it to get dark enough. We got there really early so that we could get a good seat upfront!!

The goodies, so we were able to see Toy Story 3 and we stayed for another Movie. We visited the dollar section at good old Wally World!! Yeah for tons of snacks!!

The Boys stood still long enough for me to snap a picture. They played tag around the car to get out some their wiggles! It was cloudy and a little bit colder than we planned, but we brought tons of blankets so it was great!!

The Drive-in had their own playground to let the kids play before the movie! Joey just had to try it out! He was so excited. We didn't tell him until right before we left, I didn't want to hear all day when is it time to leave! We didn't get home til 1:30 a.m., but it was good time by all!!

Joey's First day of 3rd grade!!

Joey is ready for his first day of 3rd grade. He had to have the glass case that was camo and clipped on his pants.

What happened to my little boy, he is almost all grown up! He is going to be Nine this November! I keep thinking that it was yesterday I brought him home!!

He was walking to line up for his BIG DAY!! He didn't know that I took this, he didn't want us to walk too close to him. He has informed us that he is a BIG kid and only the little kids have to have their parents walk them to their class. I think that I was the one that hard the hardest day!

Joey is sitting in his line, ready to start the 3rd grade. He didn't know that I took this picture, he would of DIE. I'm already embarrassing him, Man has he grown up way too fast!!

Mission Farewell to Mom and Dad

The whole gang (DeDe and Family were not able to make it, we missed them) This is almost all of the family! We just had mom and dad farwell and they had been set apart. We had a few moments to snap a few pictures and then they were off to Utah for their mission. They had to be in Salt Lake City at 8 a.m. the next morning and it was already 1:00 p.m.! We all really enjoyed being there for them, however, we will miss them! Good Luck on your Adventure mom and dad!!

The kids..BIG and SMALL. Most of the adult children with their spouses.

The grandkids with their grandparents moments before their were off!!

Game Night in St. George

Grandma teaching us how to play Chicken Foot. Grandma got a run for her money. Joe was trying to cheat, he learned from the best (grandma)..But Grandma was ready for it!

Joe deep in thought and ready for the next move!

Joey was excited about the level he was on with his game.

We also got to catch up with Erin and have a wonderful Dinner at Brick Oven Pizza!

Grandma took us on a Tour of Brigham Young's Winter Home. It was neat cause we had a tour guide and walked all around the home. We got to explain to Joey that is what his Grandma and Grandpa Moore were going to be doing on their mission at Temple Square. Joey endured it quite well..he tried to listen for the 30 minute tour! It was a good time by all!!

Visit to St. George

We had to make Grandpa sit still lone enough to get a picture before we had to leave. We enjoyed visiting with him and Grandma.

Joey misses Grandpa's Cane. Every time we would go visit Grandpa Moore he would take his cane and hit Joey with it or he would grab Joey's legs, arms, and neck. It was a lot of fun for both and great memories for Joey.

The boys just chillin having a good old time. Joey was entained with Grandpa's wheel chair. To think we spent all that money on toys?!

We took Joey sight seeing. We went to the top of the hill to overlook St. George, Utah. We even got an up close and personal look at two airplanes landing at the airport. Joey LOVED it, Mom not so much!!

Lunch with Grandma, we all really enjoyed spending time with Grandma! We hated to have to leave, but we will be back soon!

Joey wanted to play in the water. Grandma had told him about this little water park that was brand new in town. However, this day the water was turned off for the day and we had to find something else to play in. The good news is we found this little water fountain area instead.

Joey couldn't get enough of the water. He played guns, jumped from rock to rock, and was KING OF THE MOUNTAIN! And of course, he enjoyed just chillin in the water as well! Oh to be a kid again!

Living Proof Grandpa Does SMILE!!

We went to visit Grandpa in St. George and we asked him to smile, this is what the end result was. Then grandma and I started talking about how one summer we decided to find a picture of grandpa smiling, the winner got $50.00 (at least that what we told grandma we wanted) well no one could find the picture...until now!! I think that I will be calling Grandma to collect my winnings!! Grandpa was just "resting" for awhile!
