My girls are dancing queens!!

Yesterday was my brother's wedding or as Presley called it "Princess Party Day!" Let me just say that my girls were dancing queens. I wish I could have video taped them on the dance floor. They danced from 8:30 until 11pm with little breaks for water...lol. They were thirsty after all that dancing. I just couldn't believe my girls...they were determined to stay out on the floor and they didn't care who they were dancing with as long as they were dancing. At one point Presley said "mommy the party has started...this is sooo fun!!" How precious. They passed out on the way home and I snapped a picture of my too tuckered out babies. I will post it soon.
On a side note my brothers wedding was beautiful and Corinne was a gorgeous bride. We wish them all the best! We love you guys.

Poems for my children...

Ok....so with the start of the new year I decided that I wanted to work on making memories last. With that thought on thing I decide I was going to start a journal for each of my kids writing down quotes, activities, birthdays and anything that I wanted to keep as memories in their journals for them to read. So it has taken some time but each journal begins with a poem that I wrote for just for them and I wanted to share them below. :)

Presley
You have eyes like your daddy tender and blue
There are a million reason to why I love you!
You're a little silly but always sweet
You're my shadow and sometimes step on my feet
Your smile is as genuine as your heart
You love preschool and are very smart.
I am so proud of the little girl you are
I pray the Lord watch over you wherever you are.
Rylee
Your eyes are green with a little brown
You are the cutest monkey around.
You love to say "Thank you and please"
You always smile while saying "cheese"
You're sometimes wild but always sweet
You are apart of making our family complete.
I love you more than words can say
And I thank the Lord for you everyday!
Easton
Molded by God created in His love
You came into my life as a gift from above.
My handsome baby boy with smiles to share
I hold you in my arms with loving care.
My little charmer whose stolen my heart
God created you in his image just like fine art.
I love you as far as the eye can see
and I am so blessed that you are apart of me.

Thoughts on the new year....

It is really hard to believe that we are already in 2011 and it is already February for that matter!! Crazy how fast time has flown by. January was a rough month for us. We have been battling viruses left and right. Last week Rylee had the flu and/or a bacterial infection and she was running high fevers from Tuesday-Saturday. Thankfully Saturday was the turning point for her. Operation disinfect the Moyer house was in high gear last week. I was trying hard to sanitize the house so that Presley and Easton would catch the virus. Presley did catch a small bug but it only lasted a few days. I can honestly say that we are finally on the mend and I am hoping the February brings us good health!!
Presley is thriving in preschool!! I have felt so blessed to be at Apex United Methodist Preschool. Presley teacher this year is nothing short of phenomenal!! Mrs Pamela is truly a wonderful gift from God and has made such an imprint on Presley's life. I am so thankful for her and Miss Aimee. I may actually cry when we have to start Presley in the 4 year old class with a new set of teachers. Let me tell ya....Pamela has set the bar high!! Presley is starting to right her name! I am so proud of her. She has been working so hard on it. One thing about Presley is that she has a hard time practicing things...she is someone who waits until she can do it right the first time....hence why she still hasn't ridden a bike. She has tried that once or twice and realizes it is a little hard and stops. This is how she was with crawling and walking. She never walk and stumbled....when she walked she walked and did it without tripping. Wes and I are teaching her that practice is a good thing and that it will make things easier and/or better. She is such a pleaser by nature that I think it bothers her when she doesn't get something right the first time. Presley nature is so endearing. She is the modern day Snow White/Cinderella wrapped in one. lol. We are so blessed to see her grow. She tells me repeatedly that she is going to be a teacher when she grows up and I can totally see that!
Rylee is changing daily! It is hard to believe in just about a month she will be 2!! She is our spunky monkey! There are some signature phrases that Rylee says ALL the time! They are:
* "mines"
* "I do it"
* "mess"
* "hold u"
* "wait...I comin"
Of course she is talking more in sentences...however those are just a few signature "Rylee Phrases" that make Wes and I laugh. She says all of these phrases with so much passion and emphasis. It is too cute. In about a week I will be registering her for her first year of preschool!! I am so excited for her. Presley and Rylee will be at school together...how sweet!!
Easton is my little charmer...no doubt about it. He is a mommy's boy through and through. YAY!! He is growing daily. He will be 4 months on the 7th of February which is hard to believe. He is currently working on rolling from his back to his belly. He gets halfway there and then figures that is good enough and hangs out in that position for awhile it is quite funny. He is such a laid back little boy! He loves playing with his toys...he is really getting into grabbing his toys and not letting go! Easton is quite the conversationalist. I believe he is my most talkative baby. Always cueing and smiling at us. He just has so much to say at such a young age. He also LOVES watching tv...a Presley in the making. ;) I can't wait to see him as he changes in the next few months!! He is such a handsome boy.
Well we are making our way into February!! Hopefully we will all be healthy and gearing up for Spring! Wes and I are looking forward to laying out some plans to hopefully start the house hunting here in the Fall with hopes of moving next Spring or sooner. Our goal is to move before Miss Presley hits kindergarten. However, we are relying on the Lords plan and timing on this and his timing may not necessarily be ours. Maybe he wants this for us sooner. ;)
Well....this is my blog to kick off 2011. Here's hoping I can blog weekly...maybe even daily!!
