So far the best thing that has happened to Gary and I this year is that Gary became a grandpa on January 14, 2008 at appoximately 11:15pm. Her name is Kaybree Taya Moore. She was 7 lbs and 2 oz. when she was born. She cried and cried, but after all it is pretty cold here in Cache Valley. Anyway, she is very beautiful. Her mom is Taryl Stanley and her dad is Kayde Moore. We are so proud of Taryl and we wish her all the special blessings of motherhood. Thanks to Kayde and Michelle who were there to help her along the way. We love our kids and especially our new granddaughter. As for me, someone once said that that if they new that grandkids were so much fun, they would have had them first. Well in my case that is exactly what I did. Thanks, kids, for a job well done!

Our house is coming along really well. In fact we may be moving in by next weekend. We are so very pumped. Our painting has been taking a lot longer than we thought, but it has proved to be well worth it. We are planning to finish our tile this weekend and start on our laminate by Monday. We are both excited to be in our house and out of the apartment.

The last weekend of the year, the Moore family went to Rexberg. We had lots of fun and relaxed a lot. Marti (Gary's twin) came down to leave her daughter to go to school at BYUI. It was a houseful, but so much fun.

My guys are the shoot 'em up, blow 'em up, kind of guys. So we found a place that would let us shoot some rounds off. Well, it was freezing cold, windy, and less than ideal, so needless to say we didn't stay very long. It was fun while it lasted.

My dorky, but very warm hat for the Rexburg wind.

These pics are from my moms ultra cool Christmas party. It lasts about two hours and is loads of fun. This year we had about 78 people in the house at one time. It was chaotic and crazy! My mom every year gets a white elephant gift and a nice gift for everyone in the family. She works all year to accumilate enough for everyone. Then on Christmas night we all come together in the basement and she passes gifts out to the babies, toddlers, kids, teenagers, then adult grandchildren, and last the best, us (the kids). We all get to catch up with cousins, nieces, nephews, and siblings. My sweet mother is the kin keeper in our family and she does a great job keeping track of everyone. We all, I am sure, are grateful for her love and kindness. We love you mom!!!
