BoYs & GiRls

So Last week I was talking to my sister Sam on the phone and complaining about how ridiculous my boys were and how I really need a girl.  So she started saying no, no.  And told me how  crazy her girls were.  She told me how she walked into her room just barely and her littlest girl was laying on her bed painting her toenails with Sam's lip gloss. I laughed so hard!! and Said ok, Girls are pretty Ridiculous..........Soooooo, spoke to soon!!!

 I could here Knox in the kitchen just barely sayng "ooo ahhh, peei, peeii (pretty pretty)" And walked in and he was doing the EXACT thing!!!!  But since he is a doofus boy, he was doing it over his socks, and up his ankle!!

It proves my point that boys are far more ridiculous then girls!.....and someone spends waaay to much time with mommy.

Well, wish us luck we move home this Friday, and I am so exited. I am so happy!!  Southern UT is a wonderful place, and I didn't even have to leave to know that=)  ....  Other good news is my youngest brother got his mission call!! Anchorage, Alaska, cool right?  I am so proud of both  him and Austin.  Two missionaries out at once, what an honer hu!!

Please, dont ever change...

Please always remember how much you love each other...Treat each other better then you would treat anybody else...Stick up for each other... be best friends...Always  keep snuggling with your mom every morning because she LOVES it...Stay happy...be good to your other siblings...Holden keep telling me you love me every hour ...Knox keep your spunk, baby boy....Be good...If you only knew how much Mom loves you...Dad loves you...Heavenly Father loves you...Everyone loves you.

 I was going through my pictures and I just fell in love with these two...again.  They are just perfect for rye and I. 

Good and current news for us!!!

Well, first of all we ARE MOVING!! (surprise surprise right?)  But this time we are actually exited.  We have had plans for a while for Rye to attend a certain trade school, but since his current job is so wonderful we decided we would wait out the economy until heading off.  BUT about a month ago Rye came to me and told me he wanted to go to real school (college)  He thought I would be stressed but I was SOOOO relieved.  So, were heading off to SUU!!  To go to school.  When Rye first went to SUU, he wanted to get an engineering degree, but has now narrowed it down to a mechanical engineering. I am so exited for him, he is going to be so good at it, and he cruises around the Internet and gets so exited about his future.  Luckily we are in a good situation to pursue it all.  It took us four years to figure out that this was the right thing for us but at least we did!!!

Sometimes it takes living how you know you don't want to live to realize how you want to live....That's like my new mato, haha!  What we want is to attend church every week as a family,   and for Rye to spend all the time he possibly can with his boys, and we will be good. We know our kids will need all the help in this life they can get from us. 

My mom and dad challenged our entire family to read the book of Mormon in  100 days, there is a schedule, and we have LOVED it.  It came at the perfect time for us.  We feel like we have all our geese in line and our priorities strait and are ready for life. 

It has been a little stressful deciding to leave his Current job. He just got two raises and the insurance is the bomb. But  he is a mechanic on drills and shovels.  Which being a mechanic can be a dime a dozen job but luckily he is a mechanic on some of the biggest equipment in the world.   He has worked on the biggest shovel in the world (it's like a loader)  So, that makes him kinda special.  He got looking right away for jobs in cedar, like a college boy job.  He got wind from a family member that the iron mine there might be hiring, so he made some calls.  The next day he got a call!!!!  When we went home they gave him an interview and job offer. His offer was much better then we imagined, especially for Southern Utah.  Not to mention his schedule is perfect for school, and we are not much worse off at all then if we kept his good job.  We are so blessed and so lucky I think.

Before we went home we drove 4 hours to get our temple interview (wont miss that)  so we could go with my family when we went home.  And the stake president gave us the best advice about our situation. He pretty much said.  The lord wants us to be smart and educated and if we obtain this in a righteous manner then he will find a way and help you get there!  So there you have it! 

Wish us luck!!
Have I mentioned how bad I hate to move =)

Holden:

He is so special...

He says Thomas S. Monsons name, Thomas Ms. Mcmuffin, in his prayers.  He doesn't have a clue it's wrong.

Knox kept biting him, bad!  and so we finally told Holden to punch him in the face if he did it again....I know that sounds bad, but if Holden didn't do it some other kid was going to. Holden  is to nice though he still hasn't hurt Knox back.

He gets everything so confused shoulders are Knuckles and elbows are L Bones and knees are L Bones to!

He wants to grow up and be a Christmas elf.  Before Christmas I was wrapping presents and he was in the hall way banging on the door crying saying he WAS a Christmas elf for wrapping presents!

He loves to wrestle and gets to start this coming fall.

Holden hates when people are mean.  He always has to yell at My siblings "Sahde (Slade) it's be nice day!"  That's his defense against everything, It's be nice day.

Knox:
Ohhhh.....Knox.  He is still confusing even to his mother.
Everyone tells me I need to have a new baby because I got jipped and gave birth to a 70 year old man, and that is exactly what he is!  It's funny!
He has gone 4 days with no Binky!! He has been so fussy and stressed out and we deiced he hasn't realized we stole his binkys.
He is finally getting some different teeth.
He says some words now.
He is VERY smart.  He figures out everything, and is very coordinated.  He can do all the wrestling moves Holden can.
He loves to play with Holden and when Holden isn't playing with him he gets so mad and wrecks Holden's toys and lays down and kicks Holden while Holden is trying to play.
He loves babies and animals.  It is so sweet.  Rikki's little girl Nixon is his size and age and he was getting so mad because he wanted to hold her.
He loves to sing, but has the deepest voice.

We are so lucky to have these boys!
By the way this  is my 100th post!.....cool

*ChRiStMaS*

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! We did. Busy and a tad stressful but it was still wonderful. I love Christmas. We were all spoiled, way to spoiled. We were home for two weeks which was great. Lots of food and family. Not only was Christmas fun but we also had a fun new years.  We all went to my aunt Stephanie's and uncle Robs house. Most everyone was there. I loved it.  I dont think I have gone to a "Moyle" get together in years.  It was so nice and felt like home!  Now for the pictures =)

 -All my parents grand babies, all within three years!!

 This poor little man was so confused on Christmas morning!!  This was while we were opening stockings, He could not figure out what was going on, he had this look on in every picture.  He finally found a fruit roll up and started just walking around.....lost looking.

 This train set took us forever to put together and it was worth it!! All the kids loved it, but not as much as Holden did!  He was screaming "Slade come and check dis out!"

 Christmas at the Moyles is always crazy but fun.  My parents added on to their house and it wasn't quite done, but their new family room was perfect for ALL of us to fit in....Their addition is BEAUTIFUL.  They added a HUGE kitchen, probably my dream kitchen, family room, and an upper upstairs with their dream room.  Go check it out, my mom loves to show it off =)..She would be mad if she knew I said that.

 I ordered these long Johns for the boys and they looked so cute in them.

Ok,so I had to add this picture...Yes this is Knox's head, and yes that is completely split open..Nothing super glue cant fix though =)  Not to mention my mom is a pro!  Poor little guy cant catch a break!!!

Rye's mom and dad are so Wonderful they wanted to take the boys all day and let us go snowboarding.  I know Deb still isn't feeling the best so it proves how much she loves her grand babies.  We had sooo much fun!  I was so scared to go considering the last time I went I broke my arm.  And to make it worse the Dr didn't inform me until a week later.........AWFUL!

Ok and now for this lovely portrait!  Another reason you need to stop by my moms house.  This should be hanging in the entryway!  We started a knew tradition with my mom and sisters.  It's called the ugly craft.  We exchange a craft that has to be displayed all year long.   And this is what rye and I whipped up for whoever got ours!!  It worked out quite nice I think.  We just razored out heads and added the "Moyle Princess" tittle and if you look closely you see a prince charming in the castle!!!  I showed the men it before the exchange and I was surprised when they all wanted it, especially my dad!  I like Darbyes face the best! She lookes like a chimp. And this is a poster, so big!

A not very merry Christmas for Knox

I know it is just part of the deal when you have boys to have them always get hurt, but man...We have averaged an emergency room visit every six months.  Knox was there four months ago.  It started with Holden swallowing a thumbtack when he was little.  We didn't know he did, we just knew he was choking.  The x-ray was the funniest thing every, it looked like a cartoon.  There was just the most perfect little thumbtack floating in his belly.  And yes he had to poop it out (I kept it)  But we were at our ward party which we both really needed to be there!!! But we have a great ward.  Someone slammed his little finger in the door.  Rye said he had to tear his finger off the hinge.  The door completely shut!  The picture does it no justice.  From the cut down was flat.  But he was fine.  The PA met us at the clinic and tried to make it as easy as possible on the poor little guy, he was in so much pain =(  He decided not to stitch around his finger and just glued and the x-ray looked ok, thank heavens for moldable little baby fingers.   His joints were not even formed yet.  They were only really concerned with his ligaments but he is moving it fine, just mainly sad!
Oh, and I might add this was the second trip for him to see the dr that day!! SAD.

I had my camera to take pictures of santa but got these instead.

Rye kept looking like he was going to cry. 

 I am always the one to take them in, so it was no big deal for me, haha!

 look at that sad swollen face.

 When we got home I layed him on the couch, and went to get his jammies and came back and he was out!

 Rye tried to change him and he was so exhausted he would just keep turning around into the stinkbug!

Holden with santa, someone emailed this to me, happy guy!  We have such a geat ward They took care of him for us.

Rather then that,  things are good.  Thank Heavens for pinterest I got all my gift ideas from there and am done.  Made about two dozen of these bad boys!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

My Cutie'pies

We got our family pictures back, and I quite love them.   I love pictures that show peoples true personalities not just the posed stuff, So I was really exited about these.   I had a hard time choosing my favorites to share, so I am sharing a LOT.  Thanks again Heather Cram =) 

We are dong good. We had a decent thanksgiving considering we were apart. Rye worked and me and the boys went to Rye's aunts and uncles. Everyone was there it was fun! We went to Utah that weekend. Rye's family had a not very good thanksgiving so we went home to have a Re-do thanksgiving with them. I sure love them! And was glad to get to spend a redo thanksgiving with them. I forgot my camera though.

Good news.... We are all the way done Christmas shopping!! Cool, Right? I LOVE Christmas!!

Holden's latest good stuff: Mom: Holden do you want some oatmeal for breakfast?? Holden: Ya, You got it Girlfriend! (He picked that up from Rye)

Deer are "Donkeys"

Jerky is "turkey"

He asked if Rye could be his mom because Rye has boobies to....(rye really liked that one haha)

He tells us all the time he loves us. The most common thing that comes out of his mouth is...."I sure love you mom/Knoxy/dad! I'm gonna keep you forever."

Knox is doing good, he is so handsome and has a huge personality!

Good Investment???

Were the Living scriptures a good investment???

I Think so!!

Before we even had Holden we got a knock at the door from a Living Scriptures salesmen. (you remember those??)  The church history movies.  Anyways, we had them growing up.  We were not aloud to watch TV until 6 pm on Sundays, but we could watch living scriptures.  So I can honestly say I learned and knew these amazing stories from watching these movies, and trust me we all watched them until we moved out!! Last time I went home my 18 year old brother was watching "He has Risen" haha!  So we of course had to purchase them from the salesman.  Rye was a little iffy....But he loves them. Our kids love them.  We have gotten one  a month for 4 years  now!!!  I remember thinking "Oh my gosh, we are going to be paying for these until Holden is 4 years old, what are we getting our selves into!!"  But time flys...holy cow....We have two left!!  People think they are a rip off, but when a  man is talking in your ward and tells about Nephi and your three year old is so exited telling the story to you as the  men tells it, or when you hear him tell a two year old he has a uncle Austin that is a missionary like Ammon, you are so grateful that it ended up being worth it!!  Cuz, them bad boys are pricey.  They wanted to watch one today, and I walked and saw them like this....Which is a huge NoNo.  (sitting on thee table)

So go and get them.  We use them for family home evening all the time.  Tonight we are using the one on pilgrams (William Bradford)

Good Daddy...

About a week ago Rye let us stay home (utah) for a few days.  He had told us he had a surprise for us when we got home.  Rye was at work everyday we were gone (15 hour days) and managed to build a huge sandbox for the boys.  So, if you do the math, he had to drive an hour to get railroad ties from the ranch, build the frame, go out into the middle of nowhere to find sand, shovel it into his truck. (he did have some guys help with that part) and finish the whole thing......He did all this in the nights while we were gone....and I should add he only gets from 4-5 hours of sleep every night, not to mention I know he has a lot going on in his life anyways. Can you say,

good daddy!!

The sand is wet in this picture but when we got home is looked perfect! It is the perfect sandbox sand, and the track hoe riding thing was given to Rye from a nice guy at work, and it is so neat!

We love you Rye. I hope these boys always know how much you love them too.  (Holden is rocking knox, haha even though Knox is almost his size!)
