What about me!

Jessica was feeling a little left out, so here is her posing for the camera.

Wrestling Champion

Eli went to his first wrestling tournament on Saturday the 27th of Feb. in Calhan, Co. And being the great athlete he is he took 1st place! Great job my Eli!

Happy Half Birthday!

Today my boy is 6 months old. I can't believe how time flies. He is doing so much, most importantly he makes us smile and laugh. Here is to our cuteness! Just a little story behind the pot. Jessica was going to take it back downstairs for me when we noticed that Caleb just might fit. So we put him in and it was so cute we couldn't pass up our good photo opp. I don't think he was too happy about it, but he was a good sport.

My Boys

Here is my handsome Caleb. He is one week shy of being 6 months old. He has grown so much and can now do so many things. He has been sitting on his own since he was 4 months old, and he loves to eat cheerios, green beans, squash, bananas, rice cereal, crackers, and anything else he can get his hands on. And as you can tell, he is also drooly. Yes, he is teething and some days it makes him down right miserable. But he is happy most of the time. He absolutely loves to play with his brothers(which make him laugh more than anyone else) and sisters. He thinks the keyboard it the best toy in the world, we found him an old one of ours but he still likes the one we type on better. We will get to finalize our adoption in a couple of weeks and are so excited, we really can't imagine our lives without him. He brings us so much joy!


Okay, so Cody goes to work and one of the guys decides they should grow mustaches. Cody is for it, and I thought it was a fun idea for them. The rule was that they had to grow it for the whole time they had a class(like 4-5 weeks). Little did I know that I would dream of the day he could shave. Because I was a good sport, he let me shave it off. Now I have my man back! I hope they decided it was a bad idea and don't do it again!!

Great Job Eli!

Eli made honor roll for 1st semester of school. We are proud of him, we know that he has a lot of talent and has been blessed for school to come easy. Good job!

My Nikki

Nikki has had a goal of getting straight A's this year. Well, she didn't quite make the priciples honor roll, but she did make honor roll. We are so proud of her for working hard this year and finding out she can accomplish great things! The other girl in the photo with her is her best friend Hannah.

Nikki wants to play volleyball in school next year so we tried it through the parks and rec. She was a bit shy of the ball when it started but by the end she would actually move out of her place and try to hit it. She does have a wonderful serve.

Here is my Nikki riding our horse Dusty. She thought that she really wanted to be a cowgirl, I think she just likes the look. She is always so fashionable.

Happy New Year!

Well, I can't believe that another year has flown by. 2010 is here already, where has the time gone, just the other day we were all preparing for the huge disaster of 2000, lol. With a new year comes resolutions to do better and be better, and to also have wonderful new adventures. I won't bore you with any of ours, but I just know that this year is going to be full of wonderful things. Just a couple of things we are looking forward to are going to the Temple to have Caleb join us as an eternal son, not just temperal. And also the creation of another family member...Drew. We are very excited that Katie has found her love and will be able to create her eternal family.
We are also to look back for a moment on 2009 and I have to say the blessings are so numerous that I will only name a couple. 1. We got to go to Missouri and see church history sites, and Jessica compete in a Nationals Competition in Branson. 2. We got to witness the birth of Caleb and then bring him home on Sept. 5th. 3. I got to spend one on one time with Katie going to Maryland, and Dad Moon got to spend time with my kiddos here. (Thanks again!) 4. Cody loves his job and we are blessed to have work. 5. Other than the occasional cold or yucky tummy we have been blessed with great health. 6. We belong to the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and are very grateful to our Savior for all else we have received. I know of no one else I could so fully give my life and love to than my Father in Heaven. Without Him, I would have no hope and no idea that someone could love me so unconditionally. I have a testimony that He and my Savior Jesus Christ live and they know us personally, they want us to feel joy and experience all that is good. They have restored the gospel to this earth through a prophet...Joseph Smith. And we are led today by a prophet of God...Thomas S. Monson. They have never expected us to live this life without their counsel and guidence. I love you all, may you see His hand in your life daily.
Love forever and Happy New Year!

Christmas

Well the time finally came...Christmas Eve. We had a simple dinner and then went caroling. We love watching the expressions on the faces of those we sing to. We would like to think they are expressions of love and appreciation and not that of someone in dire agony from hearing our untuned voices. However this year Cody also played the clarinet as we sang so hopefully it made us sound a bit better. Then we came home to read the Nativity, and have mom recite the T'was the Night Before Christmas and open one gift which was a book. It was pretty late when we finally got the kiddos into their rooms, mostly because they kept checking Norad to see where Santa was. What a life, all we had as kids were Dad's sharp eye to tell us to hurry when he saw Santa and the reindeer over our house. LOL. Well, as usual Dad and Mom had to stay up to make sure everything was in order and the kids were all asleep so Santa would come. We did hear some noises, but never saw the guy. We left them all asleep in their beds, but at 5am(which came way too early), the kids were up and begging us to come see what Santa brought. The rule has been they have to come get us first so dad can film them coming into the living room, but Eli had decided that he would come out and sleep on the couch(I guess it was just after Santa left), so needless to say they had all been out there before the film crew was ready. By 5:30 we were seeing what Santa had given everyone and our day was started.

Work Party

On the 23rd we went to Cody's work party and all of us got our picture in a real Katana...the ones Cody flies. I just love all my Jr. pilots. We also had a really nice dinner.
