Long Beach, here I come!

So we are heading for Long Beach ! Yeah for us! Sterling and I are just going by ourselves while my children suffer through a camping trip. Just kidding. My kids love going to visit with Grandma and Grandpa! They live at the Spanish Fork River Park and the kids eat it up! So the 3 of them drove away together and I had a sad little moment... then it was gone! No really, they are growing up and seeing them drive away was a little weird for me. A little funny thing Koy said yesterday. He said, "what do you think Megan will say when I ask her to sign my shirt? Bum bum bum buuum." Just like when they ask a question on some old mystery movie. He is so funny. Love him. B

Wow! I love being a woman!

It was wax day....
Need I say more?

The Story of my Life

Well it goes without saying that I am totally a widow this weekend due to the pretty little object you see here. Once a year I am totally widowed to "the train". That doesn't mean that I don't suffer rejection at it's hands at other times of the year by any means. It just means that I will not see or hear from my husband (ie Train Nerd) for days on end. He will anctually sleep on the ground where they have set up. Pathetic! I can't get him to go camping to save my life... Funny.

So Skyler, my awesome 15 year old brought home the Exemplary Student of the Year award tonight. Who knew that he also was the only 9th grader to pull a perfect attendance! So cool is he! I am so proud of him. No one would ever guess that he didn't speak until he was 4 years old and that he was a pretty severely autistic little dude at one point! God bless him! He is my breath of fresh air when nothing else seems to be going right.

All hail Skyler and here's to autistic kids everywhere! May you have many good teachers to help you on your way!

Sad Day

Oh Sad! What a lousy day! Work is out of control! As only Miss could know. Canker sores in my mouth are flippin out of control! However, Miss, you were right. They are still there and completely swollen but they are now numb. Who knew?! Yeah for that. Remind me to never really get botox. Bad idea! So my Dr. called this afternoon and really thinks I may have behcets syndrome. Which by the way, SUCKS! Its cause is completely unknown and there really is not a whole lot to do for it. I actually saw an obit for someone who had died from it because it went into their organs. They think that mine has spread to my nervous system and is causing my nerve pain. They think I should see a specialist in SLC for it. JOY! One more Dr. I can barely contain my excitement for more stupid questions and more dumb tests and useless perscriptions. Wow. Hold me down, I might start a cheer anytime. But only for my friend Kev that could translate it into ASL.

Blog Bummers

So after playing with the color of my blog for like 20 minutes, I decide I didn't like it. Hmmmm... I guess I will have to hire someone to keep my blog up to snuf with all my blog happy friends. (Miss, yours is pretty cute.) How do you get all those fancy backgrounds and such??? I've looked at a few blogs that are AMAZING! Who does this? Who has time to do this? Hopefully no one looks and mine and I can use it as personal proof that I CAN'T blog!!!

Joy of all Joys

My children, and most of all my husband, have been good to me this year for Mother's Day! I got home late last night from scrapping with my good friend Blythe and the boys were still awake. Koy must have been watching the clock because right at midnight he jumped into my arms and wished me a Happy Mother's Day. Then promptly turned to ask Sterling if they could give me their gift. Sterling told him no and to go to bed of course. So first thing this morning I hear little Koy up and noticed he has gone in to wake Macade. Which is like waking the dead, by the way. So Macade gets up and they both go down to wake Skyler. The next thing I know, Koy is right in my face asking how many eggs I want. Sterling and I had already discussed going to Mimi's for breakfast so we let him down easy but I did tell him it was the best Mother's Day thought ever! He had overheard me days ago mention to my mom that we used to do breakfast in bed for them all of the time and my kids had never thought to. It brought tears to my eyes for sure.
Then as I got ready to go, I walked downstairs to behold my gift!!! The Cricut 9000, as Sterling calls it!!! They bought me the Cricut Expressions die cut machine. I am so excited! So those of you who know me, be prepared to get lots of homemade items!!
Yeah for 1 day a year when a chick can get a little love in the form of a $500 machine!

Fave of the day

So my absolute favorite thing of the day was when our friend Kevin came into our office today to observe. When told that a girl in our office wanted his trash he calmly said, "I can't give her my trash." Kevin is seriously one of the funniest people I know!

Here's Some Moore

So, Here's Some Moore is up and running. I might have to get tips from all my blog happy friends on how to keep it that way. I normally don't have a lot of time to write, but thought this is a great place to share the happenings of the Moore household. Not that any of you give a Jim Dandy about our happenings! Sometimes you will get some swell quotes from the little dude of the house, Koy. He has some great one liners that I'm sure you will enjoy. I will try to download some pics from time to time as well. So here's to my loyal fanbase of 0!
