Its a fun place for the kids to run around and get wet. Aubrey Jane loves it, Lilah prefers the little pools. See Lilah in the polka dots and that's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">AJ</span> sporting the bikini.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkG3DtK6aAI/AAAAAAAABc8/z9jDVKI6_uY/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+107.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350759106585716738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkG3DtK6aAI/AAAAAAAABc8/z9jDVKI6_uY/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+107.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here we are still at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">gymboree</span>. The girls love art class, they love all the painting!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkG3DdVpVCI/AAAAAAAABc0/bRaxKZFg4H4/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+153.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350759102335767586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkG3DdVpVCI/AAAAAAAABc0/bRaxKZFg4H4/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+153.JPG" border="0" /></a> There's not beach close to us, but their is lake Washington and there's tons of parks with beach areas to enjoy. So here we are at Newcastle Beach park, one of our favorites. You wouldn't believe how tan Lilah is already despite her 50 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Spf</span>. I've got a pretty good watch tan myself.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkG3CzM90gI/AAAAAAAABcs/yHUJ6E68MOc/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+135.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350759091025072642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkG3CzM90gI/AAAAAAAABcs/yHUJ6E68MOc/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+135.JPG" border="0" /></a> You always here me saying "we're off to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">factoria</span> time." Well, here it is. Its a program put on in the mall for free by the YMCA. Its great, they do parachute time, craft time, story, and songs. The kids love it. Then we always walk over to the pet store then do lunch which maybe a picnic, cheeseburger, target, whatever our mood. Here's Matty our neighbor with Lilah!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkG3Cp2uAmI/AAAAAAAABck/N3u52l3eGAo/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+132.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350759088515842658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkG3Cp2uAmI/AAAAAAAABck/N3u52l3eGAo/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+132.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>The 4 Moore'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00840413367896945148noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62762494929586355.post-90991722784925652322009-06-23T17:49:00.002-11:002009-06-23T18:12:12.581-11:001st Annual Crawfish Boil<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxif6PYVI/AAAAAAAABcc/jHyIu_3IA6M/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350753038532305234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxif6PYVI/AAAAAAAABcc/jHyIu_3IA6M/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+011.JPG" border="0" /></a> We hosted a crawfish boil at our house over mother's day weekend. We had 'em flow in from Louisiana, 60lbs in a big Styrofoam cooler. It was cheaper than getting them locally believe it or not. We made it a mother's day theme with big signs everywhere with a picture of a crawfish that read,"For the one who's there in a pinch..... MOM!" Its not so easy to think up a crawfish/mother's day concept, but never fear, your great party planner is here! And Bill of course did all the cooking, it went off without a hitch and we hope to start making it a yearly event! We had perfect Seattle weather for the party!<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxiHMjQYI/AAAAAAAABcU/3CNqdPC2lvo/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350753031898218882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxiHMjQYI/AAAAAAAABcU/3CNqdPC2lvo/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+022.JPG" border="0" /></a> We had crawfish games of course for everyone to play! Here's the crawfish race. Everyone really got into it...... cheering their own crawfish to the finish line! We also had a crawfih relay. I don't know if i've mentioned it, but we've got a great neighborhood. The Moores and Evans attended and all the rest of these folks are our neighbors. I don't know if its the fact that we moved into a brand new neighborhood, so people felt more like making friends, or maybe its the community park in the middle of the neighborhood that helps people socialize, or maybe its just the people in it, but we really love it and have made some friends we hope to have for a long time. And with me being a stay at home Mom, glad to have the neighborhood be such a social spot, previously most of my friends were all made at work.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxh_fsVdI/AAAAAAAABcM/x-R3PFORz7w/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+047.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350753029831022034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxh_fsVdI/AAAAAAAABcM/x-R3PFORz7w/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+047.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here's a shot of the table. It was quite delicious! Nice and spicy and the corn was great!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxhc94jWI/AAAAAAAABcE/FVw17yIoRvk/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+037.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350753020562410850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxhc94jWI/AAAAAAAABcE/FVw17yIoRvk/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+037.JPG" border="0" /></a> Aubrey jane loved the watermelon. And if you notice how her hair stands up.... it stands up like this all the time, The Moores said Bill's hair looked exactly the same when he was little, just a different color of course.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxhCBrXDI/AAAAAAAABb8/ZPLMul7mrhM/s1600-h/Canon+First+Pictures+054.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350753013330566194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkGxhCBrXDI/AAAAAAAABb8/ZPLMul7mrhM/s400/Canon+First+Pictures+054.JPG" border="0" /></a> We honored all the Moms at the party. I gave a sweet speech about how specials Moms are, I had medallions for each kid to present to their Mom with their picture on it, and then I had all the kids give their moms foot massages and paint their toe nails. It was messy, but hilarious! See my friend Allison laughing as I had just announced about the pedicures ,which would be given by the kids, I love when people laugh so well. </div><div> </div><div>For me mother's day is bittersweet. I enjoy the day so much now because i'm a mom of course, but I also miss the two wonderful mothers I was blessed with.... My Mom and my Nanny. Doing something fun for all the Moms at the party was a special way to make the day special for me. I only wish I could have included some other moms in my life who live so far away to let them know how loved they are on Mother's Day!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>The 4 Moore'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00840413367896945148noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62762494929586355.post-30646751511154016612009-06-23T12:28:00.002-11:002009-06-23T12:49:59.607-11:00A little more vacation fun!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkFpKq4qq-I/AAAAAAAABbM/ZlN8LdX5Mg0/s1600-h/IMG_8837.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350673464324434914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkFpKq4qq-I/AAAAAAAABbM/ZlN8LdX5Mg0/s400/IMG_8837.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here we are at the beach, Aubrey jane's first time at a real beach. In Washington we hang out at Lake Washington, not a true beach. But it was windy and chilly, she wasn't so into it. It was a lot like Lilah's first time at the beach!<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkFpKINXRdI/AAAAAAAABbE/FBQByGmuIwk/s1600-h/IMG_8849.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350673455016003026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkFpKINXRdI/AAAAAAAABbE/FBQByGmuIwk/s400/IMG_8849.jpg" border="0" /></a> We rented a townhouse for the week which made meals and down time much easier with the girls.

Here we are at Lego Land. I'll say I much preferred Sea World. Lego land really caters to a specific age group, I'd say about 4-8 yrs of age. Of course our girls got in free, so I shouldn't complain, but there wasn't enough for them to get to do in my opinion. Also, if you've got 3 kids its hard. Most rides were with 1 kid and 1 parent. So if Liz and Jeff hadn't had us to watch Lauren they would have been hindered too. Its a nice place, neat to see, don't get me wrong, you just have a very specific window of opportunity for it to be a great spot for your family to visit.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkFi6FJjQJI/AAAAAAAABZ8/KHonaDzRbCo/s1600-h/IMG_8775.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350666582247030930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkFi6FJjQJI/AAAAAAAABZ8/KHonaDzRbCo/s400/IMG_8775.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here's the boys in the Lego Vegas.

We saved money with a picnic and found it easiest to control the herd if they were all in the trunk of the van rental. You gotta love it!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkFi5f1QJgI/AAAAAAAABZs/IGdxtcoj9Kw/s1600-h/IMG_8807.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350666572229780994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SkFi5f1QJgI/AAAAAAAABZs/IGdxtcoj9Kw/s400/IMG_8807.jpg" border="0" /></a> One of the few things Lilah could ride, we rode it a million times.

I'm sure you all thought the blog was dead! Long and short we had 2 camera failures then 2 computer failures, and by the time we bought new computers, cameras, set it all up, backed it all up..... well here we are June 09. I'll try to back track some of the things we've been doing the last few months. The girls are growing like weeds and having tons of fun. </span><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/Sj_5jN4-JfI/AAAAAAAABXw/g-PPCOQiSRI/s1600-h/IMG_8532.jpg"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350269265758791154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/Sj_5jN4-JfI/AAAAAAAABXw/g-PPCOQiSRI/s400/IMG_8532.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> This is Aubrey Jane at Easter devouring a cupcake.

My only <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">complaint</span> about Seattle Easter is it was wet and cold. Its no fun to sport long sleeves, tights, and closed toed shoes with Easter dresses, its just not right. And the last 2 Easters we've had to hunt eggs inside <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bc</span> it was just too gross outside. But we made the most of it. At church there was a teenager sporting her Strapless Easter dress with long sleeves and jeans under it..... Spring is the only time that I'm not so crazy about Seattle weather, the rest of the time I actually like it!<br /><br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/Sj_5iqDT-DI/AAAAAAAABXg/2GbACuyZtxw/s1600-h/IMG_8507.jpg"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350269256138487858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/Sj_5iqDT-DI/AAAAAAAABXg/2GbACuyZtxw/s400/IMG_8507.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> Miss <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">AJ</span> w <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ith</span> her basket, bring on the eggs!<br /><br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/Sj_5icD4xxI/AAAAAAAABXY/TaJTRViu6Kg/s1600-h/IMG_8485.jpg"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350269252382803730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/Sj_5icD4xxI/AAAAAAAABXY/TaJTRViu6Kg/s400/IMG_8485.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> The girls the night before leaving the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">carrots</span> out for the Easter <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">rabbit</span>!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/Sj_5h_X7FCI/AAAAAAAABXQ/N5NPrnfvoWg/s1600-h/IMG_8476.jpg"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350269244682212386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/Sj_5h_X7FCI/AAAAAAAABXQ/N5NPrnfvoWg/s400/IMG_8476.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> We had a big neighborhood <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">easter</span> egg hunt on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">saturday</span>, and here's Lilah all ready to head out the door for it.

She really was sick one day with vomitting, etc and this is what she got to do, since that day she tries to tell me everyday she doesn't feel good. My answer is "you'll have to go to your room then and lay down," and then she quickly replies, "i feel better." </span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SbmRoBuw97I/AAAAAAAABW4/nWd_HTxfjI4/s1600-h/IMG_8222.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312437352305588146" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SbmRoBuw97I/AAAAAAAABW4/nWd_HTxfjI4/s400/IMG_8222.JPG" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"><br /><br /><br /></span><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">Lilah loves to push the little carts at the store.

Man, it was so foggy today....made it really chilly today. We were passing out invitations for a Vietnamese -Tet- New Year's Birthday Party for Lilah, Aubrey Jane, and our neighbor Matty, which we're hosting this Sunday afternoon. We didn't want to do a big party, actually our neighbor approached us about the group party idea, and then I added the VN New Year theme. I actually found out the Vietnamese celebrate everyone's birthday at Tet. Everyone turns their new age on New Year's and not on the date of their birth. See how culturally correct we are with our combined birthday party!</span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SXbCvzbc6BI/AAAAAAAABQU/UM8J8LA0mqs/s1600-h/IMG_8015.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293632538535585810" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SXbCvzbc6BI/AAAAAAAABQU/UM8J8LA0mqs/s400/IMG_8015.JPG" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"><br /><br /></span><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">Then at night the Moore family all joined us for Pho at a local spot near our house. Do you like Lilah's hat? It actually said birthday boy, and I put a sticker over it that said girl. When we picked out her hat she just had to have the blue and didn't like any girl hats, i thought what the heck, its your birthday, you should have what you want. So I just made the gender corection. </span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SXbCvlkCTpI/AAAAAAAABQM/oHS8-maeUOU/s1600-h/IMG_8024.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293632534813494930" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SXbCvlkCTpI/AAAAAAAABQM/oHS8-maeUOU/s400/IMG_8024.JPG" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"><br /><br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SXbCvbtvCTI/AAAAAAAABQE/bsTO2h7XvKc/s1600-h/IMG_8022.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293632532169820466" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SXbCvbtvCTI/AAAAAAAABQE/bsTO2h7XvKc/s400/IMG_8022.JPG" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">I can hardly belive my little baby is already 2 years old.

Here she is showing off her cake Mommy stayed up late making. They don't make Charlie Brown cakes anymore. Its all Elmo, Dora, etc. I asked Lilah several times what kind of cake she wanted, and hands down it was Charlie Brown <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">every time</span>. So I was left to take matters into my own hands. I think it turned out pretty good for my first time. Its no Kelley Robertson cake, but I think its great. Lilah knew exactly who it was when I showed it to her and that's all I needed. We then headed to art class at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">gymboree</span>. We made cupcakes to share with all our classmates that were white with red white & blue sprinkles to honor <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">inauguration</span> day and our big girl's birthday. I'll always remember Lilah's 2<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">nd</span> birthday was a day of history in the making. I took video of the girls eating their birthday breakfast with Obama taking his oath in the background.... how historic! So Mommy forgot the camera at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">gymboree</span> to show us sharing our cupcakes, ...... so much to remember. </span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SXa7nkvuLAI/AAAAAAAABPs/Gsyb8U1AQ-o/s1600-h/IMG_8005.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293624700573723650" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SXa7nkvuLAI/AAAAAAAABPs/Gsyb8U1AQ-o/s400/IMG_8005.JPG" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"><br /><br /></span><div><span style="color:#000000;">After we passed out our cupcakes at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">gymboree</span> we headed over to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">starbucks</span> to enjoy a coffee. Believe it or not at Lilah's request. I get her a kid sized vanilla steamer and she loves it. Can't get her to drink milk much at home, but she loves it at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">starbucks</span>, we just call it her "coffee." This picture was taken by the clerk at the counter.

She was with me when I fell in love with Bill. Coming home and giving her all the details of our first date, big talks, and all that comes with finding Mr. Forever. And I was with her when she found her Mr. Forever, Peter. She and I were and still are family and I miss her very much and wish Michigan were much closer, or one of us had access to a private plane on a monthly basis. She has one of the best hearts in the world and I am thankful to call her my friend. She had not changed one bit, still beautiful and a breath of fresh air. The only difference was when we had our girl time there was now 5 of us, instead of just the two of us. It made catching up a little more challenging, but all the sweeter. </span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SRInlGP_RnI/AAAAAAAAA2w/ilfOcMsjYn4/s1600-h/IMG_7094.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265314432635848306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SRInlGP_RnI/AAAAAAAAA2w/ilfOcMsjYn4/s400/IMG_7094.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> Here we are the aquarium in downtown Seattle. We loaded all the kids up and were out the door everyday for a new adventure. Its a good thing our girls are like their moms and like to be out and about. Lilah needs to work on sharing a little bit more, but Rome wasn't built in a day!And Lily looks so much like her Dad that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">every time</span> I looked at her I felt like saying, "Hello Peter."

I couldn't get it as perfect as he did, but we had fun trying. The girls thought I was so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">hilarious</span> laying on the ground that they had to try it too.

The October weather was really fabulous this year!<br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SRIcU5M54wI/AAAAAAAAA0g/uWEXR-6Mos8/s1600-h/IMG_6728.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265302059627438850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SRIcU5M54wI/AAAAAAAAA0g/uWEXR-6Mos8/s400/IMG_6728.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> On our way home from the falls, we hit the Issaquah Salmon hatchery. Aunt Laverne & Uncle Charlie's visit timed perfectly with the salmon returning to their places of birth to spawn. We really enjoy watching the huge salmon run up stream. The Chinook and Coho salmon are what we were watching. Here they are strolling through a garden right next to the hatchery. And Lilah loves to be swung by her arms. And yes, yes, I know it can pull her arm out of the socket, but we don't sweat it as much when we know we've got Bill at home who can put it back together without a trip to the ER. Things to be grateful for!<br /><br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SRIcUYedbZI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/hqgXtxgkzs0/s1600-h/IMG_6701.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265302050842701202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SRIcUYedbZI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/hqgXtxgkzs0/s400/IMG_6701.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> The first day we took it easy on them and let them recover from the long flight from GA. So that afternoon we took our first sight seeing trip and headed to Snoqualmie Falls. The falls are taller than Niagara falls, but not as wide. This is a picture I shot in the park right next to the falls, I thought it turned out great!<br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SRIcT_y1ywI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/eL7UqtMhb2M/s1600-h/IMG_6689.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265302044217297666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SRIcT_y1ywI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/eL7UqtMhb2M/s400/IMG_6689.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> Here is Aubrey Jane saying hello to Uncle Charlie the first morning after they arrived late the night before. I love this picture. Aubrey Jane is just looking at him so intently, almost as if she's saying, "And so we meet again." Uncle Charlie did lots of holding of Aubrey Jane while we were in GA for 3 weeks with Papa's passing, so these 2 old friends were getting reacquainted.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div></div></div></div></div></div>The 4 Moore'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00840413367896945148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62762494929586355.post-56631742142030445052008-10-07T10:57:00.003-11:002008-10-07T11:16:51.567-11:00Just another day in paradise<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SOvcvNwdIwI/AAAAAAAAAzo/21tlSMYFH-0/s1600-h/IMG_6644.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254536093962674946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SOvcvNwdIwI/AAAAAAAAAzo/21tlSMYFH-0/s400/IMG_6644.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> Lilah can almost say Happy Halloween!

She does this new gymnastics type pose and she's starting to do it for the camera. She lifts her back leg in the pose, but i caught the picture as she was coming out of her pose. We take gymnastics now on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">fridays</span> and she loves it. Only problem is now she thinks every bar we see, i.e. at the grocery store, target, etc. should be climbed on and swung from. She also walks up to strangers and strikes the pose, they often aren't sure what to make of it which is quite fun to watch!<br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SOvb9QfKHJI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/3U_Hvj-9doQ/s1600-h/IMG_6622.JPG"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254535235701972114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mImLdF-ytGk/SOvb9QfKHJI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/3U_Hvj-9doQ/s400/IMG_6622.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"> I recently took the girls to have their pictures done.

She loved to say "crab" all day then yell out the color of the crab. Does Lilah know her colors now?..... No, but she does know which words are colors. For ex: if you say what color is this crab( pointing to a purple crab) she'll say orange. So, she <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">definitely</span> doesn't know her colors, she loves to say pink ( used to be yellow) but at least she knows what words are colors.... I think that's something.
