Little Man

Psalms 127:3 Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him.

It's hard to believe that one week ago today my little buddy turned two. I am just amazed by this little boy. My loving boy is quick to show his affections. At dinner he melts my heart when he reaches his hand out to grasp mine and then gently kisses it. He loves his cars and red rocket too. Ok maybe obsessed is a more appropriate verb. Every night before going to bed he must kiss most of his toys night night. He loves to be held and when not being held he has to have a hand to hold. He is such a funnny boy. He is so difficult to discipline because he's such a deadly combination of cute and funny. What an artistic little guy. He loves to draw and concentrates very hard on what he is doing. Food has always been his first love. Jack likes most foods with the exception of pizza. Applesauce and carrots are a few of his favorites. Jack loves to watch movies especially "Cars" and "Little Einsteins". He truly is an adorable little boy. recently when I look at him I realize that my baby is gone, but each morning when I go into his room I am excited to see what new thing he will learn or what antic he wil come up with. My heart is full of joy and love because of this little boy. I am so thankful for the blessing of this little boy.

Bad News

Ok, so I have some really bad news. You may have been wondering why it has been so long since there has been a new entry on our blog. Well the bad news is that my camera is broken. I was able to tape it up and get it to work just long enough for the kids party on Sat. and to download the pictures tonight. We will be getting a new camera - SOON!!!

Arty Party

On Saturday we celebrated Ellie's 3rd birthday and Jack's 2nd birthday with an Arty Party. We invited our friends to join us for breakfast and crafts.

Pizza Pizza

Friday night I decided that I needed a little break from cooking. So, Ellie and Jackson jumped in and took over in the kitchen. They made pizza and cupcakes. Ok, so whenever you have a one and two year old cooking, it's not really a break - but it was fun.

Here's our fabulous recipe.
Start by shaping your dough. Lot's of little fingerprints in the dough makes it taste better


Next, add your favorite pizza sauce. You know you have an adequate amount when your white shirt is covered in red sauce (not a smart move by Mom).

Then add the cheese. Be sure to sneek a taste, but don't let your Mom catch you. If she does, just act like you don't know what she is talking about.

And lastly, no meal is completle without dessert.

Kumquat's Anyone?

So last Friday Scott and I decided that we would use our day off to do a little yard work. Seeing as how neither one of are very versed in the art of landscaping or have gree thumbs, this is usually something that we try to con someone else into doing. But not this year. The day started with Scott attempting to mow the grass wile I cleaned out and organized the garage. The word attempted is very important, you see every time that Scott goes out to mow the grass we have to hold our breathes and pray that the lawn mower will start. After trying both mowers, he informed me that he was going to Lowes to buy yet a third one. Once home he mowed the front lawn. Somewhere between the front lawn and the back the mower stalled and would not start. So there he was with three lawn mowers lined up in the. As theyy sat there starring at one another it truly was man vs. machine (the machines were most definetly winning). Needing a change in scenery, we packed up the lawn mower and headed to Lowes to pick out some flowers and other plants. While there I asked scott several times to get some mulch and he stated that he wanted to wait until later. As we walked up and down the isles looking at the flowers we came across the tree isle. Scott said "Amber I want to get a tree." I said whatever and walked away. And moments later, from across the garden department, he began yelling "Amber, I want a Kumquat tree! Give me a Kumquat tree!" This continued throughout the duration of the trip. On the way home we stopped to get a bite to eat and went home to eat our lunch. I finished first, and went back outside to begin weeding the flower beds and planting the flowers we had purchased. Scott came out a little while later did something and then said I'm going to go get the mulch. What! Now Scott is going to read this and dispute it, but for anyone who knows Scott you know it's true. We worked very hard and in the end we were happy with the little changes we made.


A few weeks ago I was pressed for time trying to get myself and the kids ready. I could hear Scott in the closet doing something with my jewlery. When he finally came out this is what he looked like. He was trying to make fun of me, but it backed fired. Don't mess with me Scott, I'm a blogger. Oh well, did I really expect a guy who looks this good in women's jewlery to be good at yard work too.

The Calm Before The Storm

It's early morning and I am the only one awake. As I sit here listening to the silence I can here nothing more than the sound of heavy breathing coming from the bedrooms. Its almost comical, because the atmosphere I am describing and the sweet sleeping faces displayed in these pictures seems hypocritical of the true life of the Moore's. In fact it's reminiscent of the calm before a storm. I have only a moment to share a few of the antics.

Last night I bathed the kids and got them ready for bed. I left them with a babysitter so that I could go to Converge and here Scott speak. When I got home the babysitter (whom shall remain nameless to protect her identity) told me that when she went to put Jackson in his bed he wouldn't lay down. She said he kept trying to tell her something. She kept asking what and finally it clicked. He was saying poopoo. Seeing as how she has never changed a diaper before (information I did not know until last night) she was assisted by the ever so reliable Ellie (who thinks she does knw evrything about averything). Lin...I mean the babysitter, said that Ellie kept telling her "that's not right" but she was quite sure that she had done it right. Then she asked me "it fastens in the back right?" At least she's smart and pretty!

Well, everyone is awake now, so I gotta go. I will post a few more stories tonight. I'll give you a little hint Scott and yard work. Now, you know that's going to be funny.
