There is so much to say that has happened in the last couple months that I would be here forever typing. Mikes computer got sick so it got sent back to the manufacture for some needed surgery. That should take another 3 weeks until we see it again. So I am here at work typing and feeling bad I can't attach a picture of our latest adventures. I know I really don't have to post a picture but it doesn't seem as personal. Oh well I will just have to flood you with random pictures next month.
Mike and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on the 24th of November. Wow what a roller coaster ride its been. It was celebrated low key since we had so much to plan for in the coming weeks. But 10 years went by so fast. He is such a great husband, father, and friend! Thank you Mike for making me laugh everyday!
We had the wonderful opportunity to drive up to Utah for Thanksgiving and be with the Moores. So we took the trek to North Ogden where all of this happened. I do have to say the van provided us endless entertainment for the kids and enough room to tote everything up there.
It was very nice to be a part of a large gathering we haven't seen in a while. Mikes grandpa turned 70 and his birthday happened to land on Thanksgiving. It was a surprise to him to have all of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren attend his special day. ( minus 2 on missions)
We stayed with family and friends and attempted to take a family picture outside. I will try to get that crazy event posted next month. It didn't snow while we were there ( no complaints here) but the white stuff sure was nice to look at. And yes it was cold.
We ended our travel in St George for a wonderful birthday party for our niece Michelle. I do have to say her mom did a good job with putting a fun evening together for her celebration. I think we were missing just Trevor... yup all of us were there. Even his girlfriend Brooke made an appearance.
We made it home safely and wondered why we don't visit Utah as much as we should. Then we came to the conclusion of Mike being a full time student. And since he is in his senior year at ASU he doesn't get a lot of time off. But hopefully that will end soon!
Andrew turned 1 years old on the 13th. He is so much fun. His personality is so different from his brother and sister. I do have to say he very clingy! I felt so bad while we were in Utah. He didn't want to go to anyone! Not even his own grandma! He cried and cried if we put him down or even left the room. I really hope he grows out of that stage soon! He now weighs 25lbs and is getting the courage to balance alone. We had a birthday party for him and he loved his birthday cupcake.
Ryan turned 4 years old on the 19th. It was celebrated at Peter Piper Pizza followed by cake and ice cream at the house. He picked his cake out himself. It was a "How to Train Your Dragon" cake, with Hiccup and Toothless on top. He loved his presents and his 2 favorite so far is the Nerf gun we got him ( which is in time out a lot) and the remote control trucks from Papa Scott. Even though he was sick on his birthday he was a trooper and it paid off.
This month went by fast because it included Breakfast with Santa, going on many small rides checking out the lights in the neighborhood, picking out a Christmas tree, our family party in Verrado, work party in Maricopa, attending a funeral, walking the Temple grounds and realizing its a small world when you bump into one of your best friends visiting AZ ( it was great to see you Traci!) leaving something for Santa Christmas Eve, opening presents, and of course remembering the true meaning of Christmas.
I might have mentioned back in October...maybe not I don't post much. LOL! But Mike took his NCEES FE Exam (EIT) on October 30th which consisted of studying really hard and enduring a 8+hour test at the old Civic Center in Phoenix. I remember when he got home from his exam I dragged him to a trunk or treat event and he was brain dead. It was like "the lights were on but nobody home" kinda look on his face. Well he waited 55 days to find out if he passed. On December 24th he received this in his email:
Michael Moore
NCEES ID: 12817-*****
State Board: Arizona
Exam Type: Fundamentals of Engineering
Exam Date: October 2010
Exam Result: Pass
Yes people he passed! I didn't doubt he wouldn't because he is super smart and it amazes me what a great engineer he will become. But this is huge for him! And I am so proud of him. He gradates in May and what a great day that will be for our family!
