Amy's Girls Trip to NYC August 2009

Amy and her girlfriends recently returned from a girls' trip to NYC...

Catching up

Facebook has taken most of my computer time, so it's been waaay to long since I posted anything on our blog. So, I decided to just throw a bunch of pictures from the past few months up to catch anyone up that happens to look at our blog.


Kaden, Jordan, and Tanner all entered an art contest at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. Out of more than 1300 entries, all of them were chosen to be in the top 50. Kaden and Jordan were in the same age group and Kaden won 1st prize and Jordan took 3rd. The Bison in this picture is Kadens. We sure are proud of them.

Amy and I went to the Park County Fair and saw the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in concert.

Kand went to Key Camp in Casper, so we took the whole family and stayed at the C'mon Inn.

While in Casper, we ate at a restaurant called Sanders. It was a fun place!

Amy's brother David just got married to a great girl! Welcome to that family Amanda!

Amy with those that made her a mom on Mother's Day.

We have been working on finishing our basement this Summer. Hopefully it will be done in a month or so. We can't wait for our home theater!

The whole Moore Family, minus Cory & Lisa's son, Matt. We sure have grown over the years!

Easter in Idaho Falls

We had a fantastic long weekend with Mom and Dad over Easter! It's so fun for us and the kids to visit Bamma and Papa. Our kids couldn't have better grandparents!

17 YEARS!!!

Well, I'm happy to report that Amy made it through another year with me! I know it's been rough for her, but she's been a trooper! I really am so grateful to have such an incredible spouse! All of the Korean guests that come here for our business think that I am married to a super-model or movie star when they meet Amy. When she substitutes at the local high school, all the girls get jealous because they think there is new competition in the school, and all the guys hit on her. Poor Amy....all the things she has to deal with because she still looks like she is 18!

Thanks for sticking with me for all these years, Luv! You are the best and I look forward to all the years to come!

Unplanned Trip to Utah

So, with Amy out of town with Kaden and Jordan in D.C., Kenly, Tanner, and I didn't really have any plans for the weekend. On Saturday, started thinking about how to spend the day, when I had the thought that maybe we should head down to Utah and see my new twin neices. It didn't take much more than a suggestion to convince the kids to go, so we packed some things and took off. We arrived in Lehi at my brother Matt's house a little after 10pm and boy did we surprise him. It was a really quick trip, but well worth it to see and hold Piper and Averi. They are so tiny, but so perfect. Tanner also had a lot of fun playing with his cousins Bryce, Kyle, and Asher.

Ode to Amy

Amy's brother James composed this ode for his ode, ode sister Amy on her birthday...

On your day of days what can I possibly say,
Especially now that your 30s are floating away.
It seems like just yesterday your hair was all frizzy and boofy,
But who would have thought then that you looked so darn goofy.
Mike was no better back then with his mullet and all.
Fortunately he knew what to do with a hoop and ball.
Now here we find you all grown up and thirty-seven.
So here’s to hoping for another sixty b-days before you reach heaven.
As lame as this ode is (and I know it’s a rhyme),
Allow me to tell you just one more time.
Happy birthday to you and may all your wishes come true.
Oh, and by the way, is that your hair’s natural hue?

Happy birthday, Amy!
