Jane's Blessing Day

July 3, 2011
Jane was blessed today by her father Jim Moss. It was extra special because her cousin Hazel was also blessed and our friend Stephanie was in town! What a wonderful day we had.

Sweet Jane

We are so happy to have her as part of our family.

Man Camp

July 2, 2011
Jim and the boys attended the first ever "Man Camp" for the Slate Canyon 15th Ward. They all said they had a great time even with George screaming for his flashlight at 5:30 AM and waking the entire camp! These pictures are from their (early) morning walk

Samuel entered his first art contest. It was for the Freedom Festival in Provo. He drew an eagle in front of the American Flag.

My First Dress

June 23, 2011
I ordered a pattern and made my first dress for Jane. It was a pretty simple dress pattern - which was good. Misty and I decided to make matching dresses for the girls. It was fun to make them together.


I love that Hazel is always so calm and peaceful during these photo shoots.

A Visit From The Nordstrom Family

June 21 & 22, 2011
We love to have visitors! I love that when Brian, Sheri and their family come to visit it's like we've never been apart. The kids immediately play together like they would if they saw each other every day. We had a great time with them - it just always goes way too quickly.

Happy Baby

June 21, 2011
Jane is such a happy baby! She loves when people talk to her and will often give them a huge smile for doing it.

Fishing With Uncle James

June 17, 2011
Samuel has been wanting to go fishing, so I told him he should ask Uncle James is he would take him sometime. Samuel had a blast fishing with Uncle James and cousin Autumn. He even caught a fish and ate it.

Relaxing On The Front Porch

We love to sit on the front porch and just relax (when the weather is just right).

George loved watching the ducks in the pond

Jane slept most of the time we were there. She is wearing a headband made by my friend Sarah at Little Penelope Lane

Samuel decided he wanted to put on an art show to exhibit the projects that he made that day. I thought it was pretty cute that he had art projects in different mediums (sculpture, drawing, origami, etc.). He even made tickets and distributed them to us so that we had a ticket to enter the exhibit hall.

Grandma Moss Turns 75

May 28, 2011
We had a surprise celebration for Jim's mom Donna Moss.

We set everything up at the church near her house and then Anne and Ron brought her over. She was certainly surprised.

It was fun to have everyone (except Angie, her family and Ambree) there to help celebrate.
Geri, Bridget and Grandma

George sure enjoyed the lasagna

She is a wonderful woman with many talents and a great example of Christ like love. I feel blessed to have married into such a wonderful family.

What would be a party without a pinata - the kids sure loved it and Grandma loved watching the kids get so excited about it.

This is the remains of the pinata and George

Happy Birthday Grandma/Mom/Donna!
