Family update


Thought I better do an update on my kids, really these are my favorite posts when I look back, and I feel like I have missed so much!...
Holden:
He  turned four and hit a rough patch, I think he wants to be a baby real bad 1/2 the time and a big boy the other...Let just say this phase wont be missed by me!
He loves healthy food, I love it!  He wants salads at restaurants, eats a grapefruit every morning, loves veggies, loves Thai curry, avocados I am a proud momma!
He is Clever! 
We have been getting "he looks like Justin Bieber " lately...Don't know how to take that.
Funny things he has said lately:
He was trying to convince me to play cars with him, and this was how he tried to do so.
"Mom, cars are WAY much fun then makeup!"
For my birthday  I asked him what he was going to get me and he told me a new bra! I know right??  So now every time we see bras in stores he points out which one he will get me next year.
I have always loved how when my boys see barbies or Disney princess they say its me, haha!  Lets just say Holden is no longer fooled.  It is a sad day when your no longer a Disney princess for your kids, it was fun while it lasted!
This one is gross, yet Innocent, and so funny.  He informed rye and I last night that his bum burped out poo into his undies.  He said casually, "Mom my bum just burped out a lil' poop into my undies, but I took care of it!"....I think the oops poopies just run in all the males on this earth from a young age.
Knox:
He talks more.
He only loves junk food, and it drives me crazy, he wont even try good stuff.
He loves to snuggle.  Every morning he is in bed with Rye and I.  Either on top of us, lying across our feet, you name it. 
Him and Holden have bunk beds now, so that is where he got his new found sleep freedom.
He loves tractors.
He has the best...and worst sound effects to  everything he does.
He loves to sing, but is so tone deaf, we laugh and laugh!
It is sad when your 1 year old is so mature that he has to pretend to be a baby....I guess more of  a baby puppy.
He plays so good with Holden now.
He loves his grandmas and grandpas! 
I have learned his language.  He mixes his whole sentences into one word.  Like, "I Achoomama" means I love you momma!  Tricky Right?  He is like my own game of Madgab.
Rye and I are doing good.  These guys keep us busy.  And we love them! 


These were their balloon babies, they both took care of them until they died.  I was surprised by how motherly they were to those creepy things.
I woke up one morning and Holden had gotten them both dressed, bless his heart, into dirty shirts and  Holdens shoes, and they were ready to go out and play!

Happy Birthday!

Today is my Dads fifty first Birthday!!!  I can not believe he is that old.   I am so thankful for my dad.  And so lucky because I got to hang out with him today!
What I love and will remember about my dad:
He is so smart, I'm talking medical school smart.  He was top in every college he attended, and so involved.  He even took Nationals in college speech and debate. Everywhere I go people know him for this.
He is musically talented.  I love this about him.  He has so many great hobbies, but never put them before his kids, and always found ways to involve us.
He Loves his children, probably to much.
He has the best sense of humor.  Even though he has always been so involved in the church he has never turned into a stickler....if ya know what I mean.
He has a wonderful testimony and taught us all so well.  I will never forget the first time he got to sit with our family in sacrament meeting, and I was nine years old!!!  He was in the bishopric that long.
He helped/helps us all with anything.  In college he would meet me at IHOP at 11 at night and teach me a semester of math!!  Or record ten little girls sing for me, haha YW's.
When I need to talk in church he will still sit with me on the phone and help me write a talk.
He is kinda shy.
Throughout my entire life my dad had more kids from my high school come over to hang out with him then I did.  He is so good with the youth, and I know many that look up to him.
He and my uncle Rob really motivated Mirinda and I though out growing up.
He has always been a great example.
He taught me how to be, and did a good job,   I hope I can do that with my kids.  There is no reason Why I cant be the best parent thanks to my him.
I love you DAD...

This picture of the little boy is kinda their logo, American boy.  That's is my dad when he was kid.  Cutie.
His newest project is this "American boy" song. 
Go to this facebook page and listen to their song and like their page!  They are do some contest for the Republican party.  The winner gets to have a famous person sing their song!  They are just having a good time, my dad is a kid at heart! 


This past week My little brother went through the Temple.  We were all there!!  It was my favorite trip yet.  My dad should be proud, because I am to be a member of his family.

Happy Easter!

 We had a fun FUN Easter!  It is so fun being home for all these things.  We were actually really busy to running back and forth from get together to get together,  I never realized how bad I missed that! We started out in Enterprise and let the kids go to the Town hunt, which Knox didnt get one thing!  That little stinker fought me for ten minutes because he wanted to start, and then when it was time to go he threw his basket down and said "NO NO momma!" and walked off.  Stubborn....
 We then headed down to Saint George for the Moyle Easter party, which was SOOOO fun, I think we were only missing 3 people out of our WHOLE family!  We almost filled the park, I loved it and left with the best feeling, I love being a Moyle.  Then Sunday after church we went to the Fitzwater/Woods Easter party, and had  great time! Everyone was also there to. THEN, after that we headed to Enterprise and had a hunt with just my family, it was a night time egg hunt with glow sticks, and The boys loved it.  That was our Easter!  Hope you all had a good one!
