Girls Adventures

One excited little girl




Plus six inches of Mommy hair



Equals a fun day and new hairdos for the Moore girls



Summer will be much more enjoyable now!

Practicing

Because everything is more fun with a chart and colored markers.



Mikey is preparing for a little concerto festival in a few weeks. We are trying to work on getting the piece perfect. I have a much greater appreciation for my mom and what she went through with all of us to get us ready for our various events. It is a lot if work but it is so worth it.

I'm grateful now for the lessons it taught me in hard work, commitment, achievement, and self worth ... even if there were times I hated it as a kid. Now I am learning some lessons of my own in patience, perserverance, dedication, with a little bribery mixed in for good measure.

Who knew piano could teach so many life lessons?

Why every Mikey needs a Grandma Lori





While Lexi thoroughly enjoys Grandma's knitted labors of love, Mikey also insists that Grandma Lori make him some items too. Some of them turn out not so cute ... While others are just great.

This sweater is one of his very favorite things to wear. He tries to wear it every single day in fact. And he gets really mad when it is in the laundry.

Today in honor of the beautiful warmth and sunshine he opted to wear shorts, "flips", and his favorite sweater to school. Some days I don't have enough energy to argue with that child.

To add to the affect he is also sporting his new Cars backpack from Grandma's New York trip.

Mikey loves you Grandma!
