A Few Pictures From The Summer

Here are a few pictures that we never posted from this summer. I am already starting to miss the summer weather. It probably doesn't help that this summer never got too hot. It was a pretty mild summer so I didn't get sick of the hot weather.Bristol playing around in Kali's cradle that I had been meaning to pack away for some time.

There is nothing like escaping a heat wave like spending time at the beach.

Fourth of July at Donner Lake by Lake Tahoe. Bristol was showing a little cheek.

The first time our house was toilet papered by the young men from church. The second time was when Nate was gone for two weeks. I told the young men that they had to give me a break and make sure that Nate was home if they were going to T.P. our house again.

At the beach with some friends.

The smokey sky. This picture was taken in the middle of the day in the end of June. It was when there were all of the forest fires everywhere. It was pretty smokey out for weeks.
I swear it is the hardest thing to get me to have Bristol keep her clothes on.
Bristol reading Cinderella to Kali. However you must beware, there is no touching of the book allowed. If you do this is the result:
One little baby that is totally oblivious to what is going on and a pouting older sister.
Our craft project. Bristol saw some "happy trees" in a magazine and wanted to make some for our trees. So we finally got around to it. She helped me make them out of clay and then she pretty much painted them by herself (with only a little assistance from me).

AHHH Summer. We can't wait until next year.

Conference Weekend

So not only were we blessed to here from the many great leaders of our church, but we have also been blessed by two crazy kids who are entertaining themselves (in someways). This is the result I suppose.

Our family room did not have a single toy out on the floor and the couch cushions were all still in place. Bristol and Kali teamed up together to bring you what you are about to see.






Hopefully I will be able to load a video of Bristol tonight before she got into the bath. Unfortunately, the height of the performance was right before I got the camera on. Oh and the picture is blurry because it had some fingerprints on the lens. However, it is still quite comical.

What we have been up to lately

So these are a few pictures of everyday life in the Moore household.

Bristol loves putting on interesting things and outfits all by herself. Here are a couple of them she has thought up lately.
Make sure you look at her feet in this picture.

Keeping busy while Bristol is taking a nap still in the afternoon. She enjoys pulling out all of the dvd cases from the box rather than watching any of them.
I have discovered lately that I hardly exist in pictures with our family. In the last year there are probably only a handful of pictures of me. So it is my goal to try to be in more pictures with the family (even if I have to take them myself).
I was doing the dishes the other morning and looked up at the screen and saw the this praying mantis. Bristol then ran to her room and pulled out this book. Which then she said, "Look I found it"
I was quite surprised by her memory (even though at this point I really shouldn't be).
Now this was just the other night. Bristol is a picker of scabs and dead flaky skin on the feet just like Nate. So the other night she asked Nate if she could get his "skins". She was in pure joy, especially if she picked something that would make Nate say ouch. She would just laugh. Pretty nasty if you ask me.
This was last Saturday before we went to the Jelly Belly Factory.

The many faces of Kali

Sorry for all of those that read my family's blog too. These pictures will be a repeat, but for all of those who only see this blog:

Kali loves making faces. She is into being the class clown sometimes (she definitely gets this trait from her father). She loves doing this by making faces all the time. Here are a few of her funny faces that I have managed to capture on camera.

Hope you all enjoy.

Ok so some of these are just cute, but I thought I would add them.

What do you get?

What do you get when you add an overly exited baby who scoots on her bum instead of crawls on all fours, hardwood floor, and a cheek bone?

Yep a big shiner.

Kali was scooting on her bum at a play group and got really excited about something and scooted herself all the way in the air and over her legs that were out in front of her (this was not the first time it happened). Well unfortunately this time she hit her cheek bone on the wood floor and it turned into an immediate goose egg and bruise on her cheek. Later during the day it spread to under her eye. The bruise now is turning more green. I have felt a little weird going out in public hoping that no one thinks that I am an abusive parent or anything.The same day.

A few days later.

To be honest I do not think that these pictures do it justice. It is pretty dark around the eye in person and looks like she got socked right in the eye.

We love our dad!

We miss him terribly too. He has now been gone for two and a half weeks and we only have a week and a half left. I (well we) can't wait until September 19th when he will return to us. Sunday was probably my I just am losing it and going to break day, appropriately I assume since it was the halfway mark. However, when your two year old almost three decides for two days in a row to wake up one night 6 times and then the next night wake up three times and both days refuses to take a nap, you would probably go insane too. Also in retaliation while she had to lay in her bed even if she wasn't sleeping, she decided to poop her diaper and stick her hands in the side and paint the bed with poo. So yes I had reached my limit and called Nate sobbing. However, that only made it worse because Kali was awake by this time and with me crying she started balling herself. She wouldn't stop until I stopped. However, I guess I just needed a good cry because after that I was able to handle the rest of the day and the subsequent days as well. Sometimes though I do think I might literally pull my hair out.

These pictures are of the night before Nate left.

I want to do makeup

So while I was feeding Kali some breakfast Bristol got into my makeup bag and went to town. Luckily her makeup of choice today was some concealer stuff that was green supposedly would counteract the red on your face. Well luckily I never used it because I just felt like I looked green. Well she came into the kitchen, with my mascara in her hand covered with the green goop. She needed my assistance to open the mascara since her hands were too slippery. I am just grateful her hands were too slippery. I just started laughing the second I saw her. I also eventually told her that she could not go into my makeup with out me and put it on herself. However, it did provide me with some entertainment. Luckily she was the thing that was mostly green, but our bathroom sink also took a hit. I was just happy that she didn't go to my bed or the couch. Sorry I know that this picture is blurry but without the flash you could see the color of the green better.
