New Year's Eve

We went down to Grandma Diane and Grandpa Johnny's for New Years Eve. Grandma's always good for lots of yummy treats. We played games and had a lot of fun.

Chase, Bridgit, Keaton, & Breeley

We have a fun tradition of yelling "Happy New Year" out the door when the clock strikes midnight. We have done this as long as I can remember. It's always a race to the door to get there on time and yell as loud as you can. Sorry to all the neighbors!!!

Family Fun

The Moore family was just playing around the day after Christmas. We always have lots of fun together.

Chase and Rustyn being pulled by the 4-wheeler around the field.

Laci, Kaylie, Breeley, and Kamryn pulling the boys on the sled.

Breeley and Kamryn playing in the snow.

I couldn't resist this shot. This is Laci's baby, Madison, and Keaton. I loved the binky look. Keaton's a little old for his, but how cute is that face?

So, so suck your toe. I know, this is so gross, but so funny all at the same time. This is Breeley and Kamryn in case you couldn't tell. They were really proud of themselves for being able to do this.

More Christmas...

Steve was enjoying Keaton's Elmo Live. Elmo was telling him a very interesting story.

Aunt Gina came through with a guitar for Chase. He loves it!!!

Steve, Keaton, Breeley, and Jeremie playing with Keaton's train table.

Breeley with her High School Musical tent and her karaoke machine. Both were a hit.

CHRISTMAS

I know, I know, I'm not so good at posting, I'm always a little (or a lot) behind. Here are a few of the pictures from Christmas this year...

Christmas Eve
We always take a family photo in front of the tree. It usually takes several tries before we get it right. Steve sets the timer on the camera and then quickly jumps into the photo. It's kind of a fun tradition. This is all of us in our new Christmas jammies. It's a long standing tradition in my family to get jammies on Christmas Eve.

Keaton on Christmas morning. He got a train table, a train set, and dinosaurs. Keaton loves dinosaurs, as you can tell by his jammies.

Chase loves to play the Nintendo. We have every Nintendo that was ever made, this is actually because of Steve. He loves it too. Chase got a new Nintendo DS with all the accessories, a kit to make a snow fort, a snowball thrower, and a new sled.

Breeley got her High School Musical Tent and this cute doll crib with a new doll. The mobile even plays music. It's so cute. She also got a Hannah Montana karaoke machine. It was a hit.

I love this picture of my kids on Chase's sled. Keaton is just like me, he has a major sweet tooth. You can see that the first thing he did was dive into the candy from his stocking.

CHRISTMAS DANCE RECITAL

Breeley goes to dance practice every week, but her favorite part is the performances. She is so fun to watch and she loves to get all dolled up. The boy that Breeley has a little crush on was going to be at the recital, as I was curling her hair getting her ready for the recital she was telling me how beautiful she looked and how this boy was going to think she was "hot". She did look adorable, but I'm a little nervous that she's this boy crazy at this age!!! I think Steve and I are in trouble.

Breeley is the second over from the right.

PARTIES, PARTIES, PARTIES

OK, so I've been a serious slacker lately, I know. Life has been busy to say the least. I'm going to do my best to get everything updated! We had some really fun Christmas parties during the holidays, here's a couple of them:

DALLIN CHRISTMAS PARTY

Steve's family party was a lot of fun. We were missing half of the family due to a snow storm, but we made the best of it. Becky, Alec, and Tony flew in, so we were able to hang out with them. We had dinner and played lots of games. It was fun to catch up. We only wish we all lived a little closer.

Alec and Tony slept over at our house the night before the party. The kids had a ball with them. Rock Band was a hit.
