Dancing daddy

This isn't our Daddy dancing (but he did dance), it's Marc. This is from Christmas Day - the kids got a Wii and High School Musical Dance-off as a game. Of course, we all played and Marc and Brian got the highest scores. What is that??? I got kicked off the dance floor by the GAME because I was so bad. It made me think of when I was little and we got our first Atari. Everyone in the neighborhood wanted to play against my Mom, because she couldn't play very well and everyone always beat her...we'll it's official, I've become my mother - everyone wants to play against me on the Wii because I"m so bad at it....


Here is Marc bustin' a move...sorry it's sideways - I don't know how to fix that yet...




Here is a picture of Marc, resting after all that dancing. Our kids are so lucky to have such fun, involved daddys!

New Years Eve - the Party





We (all 6 of us) went to the Cromer's house for a New Year's Eve party. There were about 15 adults there and more than 15 kids (they outnumbered us).


We had a great time. Click above to see the fireworks show we had. Our friends Charles and Christa Clinemyer brought fireworks - tons of them. Charles put on quite a show. As you can see, all the kids loved it - so did all the adults. It was a super fun way to ring in the new year.


We also had Karaoke. You know how much I love music - so Karaoke was lots of fun. You can see from the video below, that Magpie is a star in the making. Listen closely and you can hear here her joining in.






Here is a picture of Charles - he's quite the singer. It's his voice you hear in the video of Mags singing.

At the Park

We went to the park on New Years Eve day. The weather was 60ish and sunny. The kids got to run and play and I got to try out my new camera. Here are some of the pictures from the park. We had a great new years - I'll put out a blog about the new years party soon.

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU AND YOURS FROM THE MOORES!

I don't know how Sarah Grace balances and runs!


John on the Monkey Bars Fireman Will to the rescue.

Maggie was very cautious - she wanted to look at everything but not really slide or climb.




Will having a great time SG just a swingin'.................


Finally Mags went down a slide with John holding her - she liked it.

The Moores Went Down to Georgia

We went to Georgia last weekend, to see Brian's grandparents, and all of Derek's family. While we were there, Poppy Derek took some family pictures by a big tree in the back yard. We really enjoyed our day in Georgia. Here are a few of our pictures:



Sweet William



Sissy - it was raining - look at the curl coming out in her hair




All of us - Sharon and Derek and all of their family

The Big Kids





The kids LOVED this old jeep. It still runs. Uncle Richard took the big kids for a ride through the cow pasture. Will, especially, was in hog heaven! (or is that cow heaven!)

Christmas Morning

CHRISTMAS MORNING, 2008


Note the kids in their matching jammies. Nana made red jammies for everyone. I think everyone got everything they wanted. Nana, Poppy Derek, Bubba, Brandy and Shawn came and celebrated with us. It was a great morning.

Thanks to Poppy Derek for the pictures. See the entry below - I got a camera for Christmas, but didn't take pictures with it until yesterday afternoon.


























































Christmas Afternoon

I got a new camera for Christmas. Since I didn't open it until Christmas morning, and then Brian had to set it up, I don't have Christmas morning pictures, but here are some Christmas afternoon pics. You can see the Cromers, Poppy Lee and Mimi and the Whitt's came over to play. It was lots of fun. We had a yummy dinner and a great time!



The kids played Wii...I'm not very good yet, but they are.












Remember Rock Em Sock Em Robots? Brian and Marc each had one when they were little, now they have one again.






















Daddy "helping with the remote controlled helicopters"











John's super mega nerf gun - it's bigger than he is!
