THE MOORES

...to Bella Beach! This past week we took a few days off from the "normal" routine and stayed with our dear friends, the Boos Family. They have two kids' that are both only a few months younger than both of ours. We met at the Lincoln City outlets to do a little shopping and when Chloe and Mikayla saw each other they both ran to each other squeeling as loud as possible! The girls do not see each other very often but always have the best of time together when they do. Our house was a small 2 bedroom beach bungalow...cutely decorated, but very quickly turned 'kid friendly' with many of the decorations put up higher than Allyson and Austin's fingers could reach! Our evenings after the kids were fast asleep were spent playing games (the match is on with the game of Sequence) and catching up! We took a lunch break on Tuesday and headed to Mo's and a very quick trip to the beach...the tide was coming in! The weather was cool while we were there, making it much easier to relax and enjoy just being in-doors. We took family walks around the development and spent much time dreaming about having a home there. Our time was well spent together and the morning we left it all felt too short. It is always great to get away for a few days and re-focus a bit and spend time with friends and family. Thanks Boos family for a great 3-day break!! Looking towards next years' outing!!

Football

We went to see cousin Parker in his first tackle football game today! It was so much fun to watch. He is a great player...Uncle John is one of the coaches. Chloe wore her "Parker Softball" shirt with his team colors in her hair and had to bring her pink football along! She was so in to watching the game and rooting for "Tarker"!! Ally tried to learn the technique of pom-pom's...but just kept smiling and looking pretty instead.

Betty Crocker move over!!

I have been neglectful of emptying the photos from my camera...so here it goes! Enjoy. These pics are from our Labor Day Church Picnic.

Ally is getting so BIG!

Today, when I picked up Ally and her report card for the day...I was told that she knows how to say BUBBLE. What?!? I quickly tried it out...and she came right back with "bubble". I didn't cry, but I quickly realized how fast she is growing up and that she is not a baby.
