Happy Birthday Abby! (and Aaron & mom)

Holy Cow! My 3rd post in one night!!

August 25th is a big day in our house. Abby turned 3, Aaron turned 27, and my mom turned 50!! What a day!! I try not to let Abby steal the show, but she usually does. I do my best to not forget Aaron and my mom. What a great day it was! Abby was so excited for her birthday. She woke up to a brand new Princess bike! She LOVES it. It was the best purchase ever. She rides it all the time. And I love that she will ride it on our back patio in circles for hours!! She has gotten really good on her bike. She can now talk on the cell phone while driving, don't worry she can't text yet! I even caught her picking her nose while driving! YUCK! Also on this glorious birthday we all enjoyed lunch at Applebees and then that evening we had a little family party at the park! What a great day it was. I can't believe my Abby is 3 years old! She is such a joy (and challenge) in our life. We love her to death!!

Oh yeah, and Aaron got some waders for fishing. Not real sure what they are but he was grinning ear to ear.

Loves her bike!!

She is so into playdough these days, and she loved her new accessories she got for her birthday.

Sporting her cool sunglasses she got for all her cousins for the birthday party.

Her and her buddy Evan. She loves him!!

Kaden joined them......the cutest little All-stars ever!

Nice choke hold Abby! We were both so excited to go to Applebees.

She was so spoiled! (like usual)

Loves Dora!

She has been asking for this everytime we go to Wal-mart! Thanks Aunt Krista!

The lovely birthday cake!!

Loves the Princess tent from Bryson and Haylee.

What a great birthday! I'm always so exhausted by the end of the day!

Stockton - 2 months old!

Also during August Stockton turned 2 months old. Seems that he is almost 4 months now, I don't remember his 2 month stats. So much has changed from 2 months to 4 months! But I will try to remember..... his 2 month checkup went great. He handled his shots like a man. Abby cried more than he did because she was so upset at what they were doing to her little brother. We have been battling acid reflux with the little guy, but he is gaining weight and getting through it. Thank goodness for medication! He is such a skinny, tall, cute little guy. His eyes are always so big. At 2 months he started smiling, and sleeping through the night. WOOHOO! Ummmmm here are some pictures of him at 2 months:

Oh yeah, he always has his hands in his mouth. Thankfully he is not discovered thumb sucking!! Oh yeah, and at 2 months he told me, yes verbally told me, that he loves Boise State!!! What a smart boy!

In this picture I accidentally mentioned the BYU Cougars and he started to cry. Sorry Aaron! He was a born a Bronco!

The big eyes.......love them! Oh yeah, he has long eyelashes to go with them!

I love this because he kind of looks like he has a belly, but he doesn't!

So handsome!!

We love this little guy!!

Island Park - August 2009

I have a good friend who is wondering why the "Moore's" aren't blogging "More" ....... so this is for you Christy!! You are my inspiration! haha (really you are)

Okay, so going back to August...............

Chad got home from his mission, we got family pictures, and we blessed Stockton. (all in the same weekend) Well that Monday all my family headed to Island Park for the week. My mom has all the great pictures, but here are a few that I have, maninly from our river rafting experience.

Cute Ryley on our very fun and adventurous river rafting adventure.

Abby chillin' on the raft ride, let me just say that she was so excited to see the end. She was jumping up and down saying we made it, we made it!! It was about a 2 hour journey.

One of our fearless paddlers. Lets just say he is easily distracted!

Clay and Linsey were also great paddlers. Thank goodness for Linsey, she always kept our raft going!

Can't forget the TCU fan, Chad. He was the captain and really kept everyone on task.

Clay, talking on his phone like usual! haha

We drove up to the top of some mountain. Here is my dad, Bryson, and Chad posing for a shot at the top.

We also celebrated my parents 50th birthday. They both turned the big 50 in August. They are getting old!!

Here we are sitting outside eating at the cabin.

We had so much fun. The cabin was nice and we all had enough space. I wish I had more photos. We did lots and lots of forewheeling. We all took turns and went out and saw a show/play in the evening. The kids had a blast and just played and played. Abby asks almost everyday if we can go back to Island Park. She even made me promise.

Thanks mom and dad for the great trip!!
