"Due West"

One of our very own Richfield boys has really went on to make it "BIG" . Tim Gates a guy that Misty and I grew up with along with his sisters. Has moved to Nashville and formed a group called "Due West". And I must say, are amazing! We have not seen Tim in many years and were all super excited when we heard that he was coming to Richfield for the fair.

Derrick and I went with Nikkie, Marsha and Gina to the concert and had a great time. Tim has always had an incredible voice and are all so thrilled to see how far he has gone already. I know that he is going to have a HUGE career. Congrats Tim and Due West...we have always been your biggest fans!

Moore Reunion 2010..

So, as you can see I am extremely behind on the family blog. Here it is already Jan2, 2011 and I have not posted my summer. One of my New Years resolutions is to be much better about staying on top of the blog. So I'll try and back up and remember all that we did. Thank goodness for pictures to jog the memory!

The Moore family reunion was in September at Fish Lake and as usual it rained, then rained, and rained some more. Regardless, we all had a wonderful time. Kevin and Cindy really go to a lot of work with games and activities to keep us all busy and having fun. The babies are all running around and enjoying being outside.

We had some pretty intense games of badminton (have no clue if this is the right spelling). We played couples against couples. We had some pretty unique names! Volleyball was the most intense of all the games and even spilled over to the the Ward camp out a couple of weeks later. Where I can proudly say (possibly against Tylers judgement) that the Derrick, Monique, Devin and Malory team WON! WOOT WOOT!

We all had a fantastic time time and are all looking forward to next year!

Owens Reunion 2010...

July 4th..

Enjoying the shade..

The 4th of July has quickly came and gone again. It was nice to go to Monroe and watch the parade and run into friends for a visit. But it is even nicer to get out of the heat and cool off.

After the park we went back to the house and Devin, Malory and Trevin came over to play in the water. The babies loved getting wet and getting in and out of the pool. By the time they were finished, the pool was about empty.

We had a great BBQ at Ty and Tiffany's in the afternoon. Then stayed at home to watch a few fireworks.

Hope everyone had a enjoyable 4th as well!!

Tea Time with Grandma...

We are so very blessed to have such an amazing Grandma Cindy. She always goes above and beyond to make memories with her family.

She decided that it would be fun to have a "Tea Party" with the grand daughters. She had them all come to her house one afternoon and make hats, fans,finger sandwiches, mexican wedding cookies, and cream puffs.

All of the granddaughters recieved special invitations in the mail for the event. And it was requested that they "dress up" for the occasion. So on the 7th of July the girls all met at Grandma's house then went to the church to sit under the shade. Not only did they have lunch together, but she also brought her real china and gave each grandaughter her own cup and saucer for their truso. She also read them a special story and gave them each a mirror.

Everyone had such a blast and it will always be a special memory to her grand daughters.

Hanging with Drakester...

The boys' decided to start the summer off with a camping trip to "Hunters Flat" on Cove Mountain. And for any of you that have been on Cove you know that the mountain is quite steep, especially for pulling a heavy camp trailor. Well, we decided to go for it anyhow.

The ride up was slow and what we thought was not to terribly bad, until we got stopped at the camp site. Then realized that our truck was terribly over heated and had transmission fluid boiling out from under the truck. We thought, GREAT we have blown the truck up, but lucky we had cell service to call a friend in the valley to pick his brain. He explained that he would send fluid up the hill for us and as long as our levels were okay, then we could come home and have it serviced. Wow, for some stress!

Then the weather decided to change on us and turn terribly cold and rain the rest of the trip.

We all still had fun, but it made it a little hard to hang out much around the camp fire.

The night before we came home Tyler and Tiffanys family, Kevin, Cindy, Marcea, Trevor and Angelia all came up for Dutch oven dinner. It was delicious! We all huddled under the make shift cover to keep dry. It continued to rain all night. So the next morning we all decided it best to leave the trailors and come back after a few day when the roads dried up a bit. Good call too, cause the roads were super mud slick on the way home. It was quite the camp trip. Good thing the family makes it all fun.

While we were hanging in the cold Sienna was sitting on the beaches of Florida with her Grandpa and Grandma Flanagan. This was definately a camp trip that she was not sad about missing:)

Summer slacking.....

Hmmmmm....maybe I should have bought a bigger pool!!
Little Buddies...

Just a little too Big for the pool!!



Lovin the water...

Headed out for "Girls" Day...

Little yard monster...

I really did not realize how quickly the summer was passing by or how behind I am on my blog. Yicks....

The summer finally did start, after we were all wondering if it was gonna pass us by. Nope, we went from cold to HOT in just a few weeks.

We have had a fun summer so far. Made a few camping trips with the family and enjoyed putting in our first garden.

The kids are having a blast outside and Brogun makes a run for the door everytime it comes open.

Sienna and I had a fun "Girls" day out a few weeks ago. We went to lunch, shopping and lots of fun girly chit chat. This happens way to seldom and I really need to make an effort to make it a more common occurance. We had a blast together!
