Libby Lu

Here's Tynli's makeover shots. They start from the bottom up-oops! :)

School Shopping

Tynli is starting Kindergarten in a few days, so she and I went to Las Vegas shopping. We had lunch just the two of us and hit the mall. It was a fun day, and I am cherishing this last little bit of time I have with her before sending her off to the "big girl" world. I also took her to "Libby Lu". She had a blast getting a make-over and just loved feeling pretty! I will try to post those pictures too, but I'm not sure how to rotate them so they aren't sideways. Anyway send warm thoughts and prayers our way as our family goes through this big step in our little girl's life. Next week Porter starts preschool. Then I'll really need a hug!

"Twighlight" to "Breaking Dawn"

Okay so my girlfriends finally convinced me to read the "Twighlight" series. I wasn't convinced I was going to like vampire books. Oh my word they are so good!So I got back into town from our WY trip just in time to go with them to the Midnight party for the release of the last book "Breaking Dawn". We had so much fun. What a great girls night!

Moore Family Reunion

So we survived another trip to Wyoming. We're home now trying to get ready for school to start-yes so soon! We had a nice time seeing both families. I loved the cooler weather and all the beautiful greens of summer in the mountains. The kids really enjoyed the Family Reunion camping trip. Tynli loved playing with all her cousins, especially her new cousin Aubrey-who's magic. (She's not really new, we just don't get to see her that often, but maybe she is magic.) Porter chased after all the little kids trying to keep up and play too. It's a blessing to be a part of such a big family that still makes it a priority to get together.

Potty Training, Company and Packing

Wow, what a week. Porter decided last Sunday that he needed to go pee, in the middle of church. I didn't really believe him, but for some reason indulged him. He actually went! I wanted to do a cartwheel, but since he doesn't have aim, I spent the few minutes I had washing my white, linen pants off and trying to dry them before returning to our pew!
My sister arrived on Tuesday and brought her daughters as well as my brother's kids. We had a busy week taking the kids to the community pool, Bullhead City, Oatman and the Las Vegas Strip. They headed home yesterday and we head up there tomorrow night. It's that time of year, the Moore's annual Family Reunion. So we will drive 10 hours to spend 4 days camping with B's family. I'm sure it will be fun for everyone. Who knows maybe one of us will become the Holey Board Champion. Cross your fingers!

Another year, another t-shirt, another picture

Fourth of July already. Didn't we just celebrate Christmas. I can't seem to catch up, which is why we had a very low key day. We went to the store for a few supplies and had a simple lunch of bbq pork sandwiches. I had good intentions of having a triple berry shortcake dessert before we went to watch the fireworks, but the Schwan's man accidentally forgot to give us our berries. Such is life-good thing we also bought ice cream! We watched the fireworks from the parking lot at B's office. They shoot them off at the fairgrounds, which is just a few blocks away. PoBo was so tired he just kept asking to go home, until the sky lit up with colors. Both kids loved watching the fireworks, and I enjoyed watching them. It has been another year and they are just growing up so fast. I know all parents say that, but now I truely understand what it means. So next year I think we're due to wear red. . .

Six months 100 miles plus

Well as of June 30, 2008 my running mile log is 105.14 miles! I am now a hundreds club member! It took six months, but I did it. I ran a 100 miles. I celebrated by buying a new pair of running shoes. Anyone want to join me in the next 100?
