Abby and Stockton

Brother and Sister Love:

Absolutely Precious!

An Abby Only Post....

Lately I have been taking a lot of pictures of Stockton. Of course, Abby reminds me to take pictures of her as well, or I will say "Okay Abby it is time to take some pictures of you!" So here is a few pictures of Abby, and what she has been up to the last month. I dedicate this post to my favorite little girl in the whole world.

I LOVE YOU ABIGAIL ELIZA!!

I never get tired of this smile!

Yep, this is Abby taking a little cat nap! I can't remember the last time she fell asleep during the day! Actually, all 3 of us were sleeping. Stockton was in the bouncer and Abby and I was snuggling on the couch! That NEVER happens!! It was nice that Abby slept for 45 minutes or so, but never again! She was such a grouch when she woke up!! Probably because it was like a 3:15 to 4:00 afternoon nap!

Eating lunch.......that looks pretty gross! What am I feeding my child?

Her favorite thing to do these days......COLOR!! Once again, I love that smile!

Just being cute!

Another one of her favorite things.........POPSICLES!

Abby has adjusted so well to Stockton and now being a family of 4. She is a big helper and such a proud big sister!

Okay, I'll stop bragging now......

So, this post is dedicated to Abby...... That means the next post is dedicated to my little man Stockton!!!

The rains came down, and the floods came up.....

This post is about a week late, but that is the story of my life!
Last week here in Pocatello (well some parts of Pocatello) we experienced some flooding. Where we live, we didn't get it, but over by my Grandparents...well they got it! After the damage was done, we went and investigated and took some pictures.

This is the round-a-bout where my Grandparents live, it was completely under water. (the next 3 pictures are also of the round-a-bout)

This is the parking lot of an assisted living home that is on the way to my Grandparents. Just one of the few parking lots that got flooded. The cars were almost covered in water

This is about 5 hours after the storm hit. All the hail frozen together. They say it hailed for like an hour!


Abby and Aaron enjoying a popsicle after all the investigating!

And that is the extent of our excitement here in Pocatello!!

I LOVE THE MAN IN MY LIFE!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

I know this is a day late, but oh well. I just wanted to quickly tell Aaron how grateful I am for him. I really am lucky to have him, and what an incredible father he is! Abby and Stockton our very lucky kids to have Aaron as their daddy!!!

And I must give another quick shout out to my dad and dad-in-law. What great men they are!! I feel very blessed.

The proud daddy:

I've been going to update about our little man Stockton.....but haven't! I have a ton of pictures, and one of these days I'll get around to it.

Holy Cow....He's here!!

Well....I'm pretty tired and just want to relax, so I'm going to post some pictures (that is all people really care about anyways) and give ya the main details.

Stockton Aaron Moore joined our family Thursday, June 4 at 6:33 in the morning. He weighed in at 7 lbs 14 oz. and is a long 21 1/2 (can't forget the 1/2) inches long. We came home today (Friday) at about 11:30ish this morning. We all are doing well and are now trying to adjust to our whole new lifestyle!! And these pictures are out of order..........

Some of our visitors at the hospital, Grandma and Grandpa Great Garner.

We are finally done laboring, and the nurse snapped a picture of us.

Also, Stockton now shares a birthday with his cousin Mesa...they are exactly one year apart!

That's all for now!

Summer fun & an update.....

So, I was looking on my camera and found a few pictures to post. We've been having a lot of fun lately! Here are just a few pictures.....

Abby and Aaron on Papa Jimmy's (that is what Abby calls Grandpa Moore) lawn mower and forewheeler, which is the favorite thing to do!

Bryson and Haylee came and visited for a week and Abby had a blast with them! Here is Grandpa Great Allen jumping on the tramp with Abby and Bryson. My Grandpa Allen is so awesome!! He loves his great grandkids sooo much!!

Clay and Linsey and family came and visited for awhile too. And on Memorial Day we went up to Idaho Falls to the zoo. Good times!!
Abby and Aaron in front of the Australia map. G'day Mate!

Abby and Ryley are such great friends!!

Life has been VERY eventful for us lately. But the biggest event of the summer is coming up for us tomorrow night. We are headed to the hospital to have this little boy!! So....sometime on Thursday this little guy will make his entrance into the world!! (well he better!!!) Wish us luck!! So the next time I post on the blog we will be a family of 4.....WOW! That is crazy!!!

Mother's Day/Photos of our little guy/Thoughts

Seems that I'm not the best blogger anymore, Aaron is forcing me to do this...........he is tired of our outdated blog.....

First of all, I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day. It was a great day for my family and I. Aaron and I had the opportunity to talk in church (I guess I should say it was a great day after our talks were over), and it was great having our mother's there and being able to express our appreciation to them. We talked to my little brother Chad who is on his mission. He sounds amazing! He will be home August 6th. His mission has gone by sooo fast! Overall it was a great day spent with both families. Aaron and Abby even got me a little gift!! And I'll be enjoying that gift on Saturday morning.......a Hydrotherm Massage!! Which is a massage for pregnant ladies! Yeah! Yeah! At this point in my pregnancy, where my back is hurting and I'm constantly uncomfortable, I could definitely use some type of rest and relaxation! Thanks Aaron!!! I love you!!!

Now to the latest happenings with my pregnancy and our little man. Today I went in for ultrasound because I am measuring at 32 weeks but I'm really 36 weeks, so my Dr. and myself thought it would be a good idea to do another ultrasound just to make sure he is growing (and mostly because I wanted peace of mind) The ultrasound went great. He is measuring normal and all is well. They asked me if my first baby had a big head, which Abby did, because this little guy also has a big head. (gets it from his daddy!! he already has an ego! haha) He has hair, and is weighing in at 6 lbs 9 ounces, give or take some. He was being so cooperative during the ultrasound that the sonographer (not sure if that is what they call them) decided to switch to digital mode, and we got some great picture of him to show! Seriously, he looks like Abby to me!! I think we have another Moore coming into the world, what can I say, for us, the Moore genes run strong!! The pictures are quite small here, they are so much cooler when you can see them bigger. And I just love digital ultrasounds! It is amazing. We now have an idea of what he is going to look like!

So sweet! Look at that big fist! And his little pug nose is just like Abby's!!

He is pulling some type of face here...


I love this one! He has that bottom lip out!! What a little pouter!

So all is well and now we are just waiting for the arrival of our little man. Hopefully one of these days we'll have a name picked out.

Now just a few thoughts.........
So last night was the finale for The Biggest Loser. I'm a fan of this show. Well, I found out that is was going to be a 3 hour finale which is just WAY to long for me. Aaron was gone all night for church stuff so I decided to get Abby bathed and mostly ready for bed before it started so I could try to watch with less interruptions. So the night went on, Abby went to bed, and I'm just sitting on the couch watching. Well it is finally time to announce the biggest loser and Tara is on the scale, but of course they go to a commercial. At this point it is almost 10:00 and I'm extremely tired but I say to myself "Amy, this is the last commercial you must stay awake!" The next thing I knew it was 10:15, and Aaron just walked in the door and woke me up. He asks me, "Amy, who won Biggest Loser?" I respond by saying (of course I'm a disoriented and confused), "Oh crap, I fell asleep!! I can't believe I just watched a 3 hour show and can't even tell you who wins!" So, Aaron is laughing at me pretty hard, I was mad, and we went to bed and then I looked online the next day. Good times....

Yesterday we were eating dinner (french toast with peaches and strawberries) and Abby finished ALL of the food on her plate and kept telling us that she was all done, that she finished all her food, and it was very good. And we kept telling her good job. Then she said that she finished all of her food which makes mom and dad happy, and of course we said yes that does make us happy. Then last she tells us that it also makes Jesus happy. It made us smile, because we are constantly trying to teach Abby about good and bad choices and that it makes us and Jesus happy when she makes good choices. It felt like something we have taught her sunk in a little. But of course, after that sweet moment she was back to jumping on the couch and tearing apart the newspaper like the sweet, rambunctious 2 year old that we know!!

And last, today I tried going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, and lets just say not a good idea. Being reclined in the chair with my head lower than my feet made me VERY dizzy! I thought I'd be okay, but now I know that this 36 week pregnant lady is not meant to go the dentist. They were very nice and understanding and I'm rescheduled for July!

Sorry to bore you all!
