Our Little Elves

Still working on the "birthday season" post of all 3 girls birthday's, but first, this is what we did this morning... Enjoy! The video may take a minute to load once you hit play.

Alright... doesn't look like the embedded video option is working, let's try this link:

One more edit to this post... I should show you the original version of these photos so you can tell who is who.

Okay - one more, then I'm stepping away from the computer. Here's one with the whole family!

Big Day!

Okay... so it's been awhile. And yes, I still owe a couple posts about our fun this summer (Hawaii and LegoLand anyone?) but this is even more important and deserves top billing...

REBECCA STARTED KINDERGARTEN!!!

Wait... no, that's not right. Let's try this again:







Yes, it's true. Our first born baby girl headed off to Kindergarten this past Monday. She was mostly excited, but I think also a bit nervous. Once the bell rang and she found her teacher, she was all set and ready to go!

Of course I couldn't let you go with just those couple pictures, so here's a few more from that morning.

(Notice the sparkle shoes Grandma & Grandpa Moore)

Halloween

Here's a quick photo recap of Halloween in the Moore household. In case you can't tell, Rebecca was Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Chloe was a ladybug, and Evelyn went as a 1-year old!

Cake

Here are some pics and videos from Evelyn's birthday. She LOVED the cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVELYN

Wow - I can't believe it's been a whole year!!!

Can you belive she started at just 2 lbs 4 oz!?! She's now about 20 lbs, crawling all over the place, pulling herself up to standing, and cruising around the furniture. How time flies!

Who is this baby?


I will follow-up with a full post this weekend, but needed to recognize this special day.

Boomerang Express

As promised, here's a recap of Rebecca's VBS performance at Foothills Baptist Church.



Rebecca had a BLAST!!! Every day when I came home, I would get a full update on what she did that day. Right down to the snack they had.



The performance was on Friday night. Then they had hot dogs, popcorn, cookies and a bouncy house and 2 huge inflatable water slides. We didn't get any pictures of the fun afterwards, but here are some pictures and one video from the performance.

Chloe was enjoying it too - especially dancing with Evelyn

Here are a couple more from the Church's Web site:

Rebecca on stage 1

Rebecca on stage 2

There were A LOT of kids!

Where's Waldo/Rebecca

Colette & Evelyn

Practicing - just look at that concentration

Fun in the sanctuary - not sure if this would happen in the Lutheran church! ;-)

Water Water Everywhere

Quick post to show some summer fun. I'll be posting more after tonight's Vacation Bible School performance Rebecca's in. Here's a preview:

Because Evelyn is sitting up by herself now, she has graduated to the big tub!

Rebecca has been taking swimming classes this summer. So far she knows how to jump in, float on her back, get to the side, and climb out. It's a basic survival course - which is great.

Once she completes a certain level, she gets a medal. She is SO proud that she's completed 2 levels and has advanced to the next class.

And Rebecca and Chloe have been having fun in our pool. Yes - we got a pool!

Okay, so it's a little small, but the girls don't seem to mind. ;-)

More later...
