Dancers

Just a few members of Morning Star...We have my Brother Carl, My nieces Susi and Mary and their brother Joseph.I am so blessed to be part of this amazing family!

I've seen them perform hundreds of times...yes I've even performed with them...and it never gets old! I love our beautiful heritage and the wonderful tradition of family. They've performed all over the world! Simply Amazing!

Also, just to add a little shameless plug here...Carl and his wife Atalie have a completely awesome clothing line called HOPI HAWK...product photography will be revealed soon! Let me know if anyone wants more info on any of this!

So this last week we got completely slammed with the worst cold I think we've ever had in our family..it was brutal! And the saddest thing of all was that our sweet little Reagan had been looking forward to Valentine's Day for over a month and the poor precious dear had to stay home from school for the entire week because she was sick :(. She was so sweet the day before...she came up to me with her sweet little sad eyes and said "I really hope we're feeling better tomorrow because nobody should have to be sick on Valentine's Day". Well, we still made the day as special as we could. The kids woke up to their hearts stuck to the walls in the kitchen, but no one really had an appetite for a big special breakfast so we made little sweet treats throughout the day and Blake brought us a special lunch. And later that night he made us the best steak dinner ever! That is Reagan's Favorite after all...every time I'm planning a menu for the week I ask Reagan what she'd like for dinner and her answer is always the same - "Steak and Watermelon!". So next Valentine's Day will be better I know. And as cheesy as this sounds... we had the best time just hanging out and being together as a family that night! I sure do love that fam of mine!!!

And yes Reagan is indeed hanging upside down in those pics. Every other day she talks about cutting her hair because "she's afraid it's going to grow down past her bum", but when we say 'Okay, let's go get it cut' she quickly changes her mind. So when we ask what we should do instead of letting it grow past her bum, she says that she'll just walk around upside down forever...hhmmmm... we'll see how that works out!

So you think you can dance???

My answer to that question is a very simple, "No, I don't". The rest of my family however...ya, they can dance.


So last week my little (yet taller) brother Mike Moore tried out for the T.V. show "So You Think You Can Dance" and he made call backs...whoo hoo!!! Also, my older (yet shorter) brother went along because when the judges heard about his amazing skills as a Native American Dancer, they wanted to see him dance as well... and He got a standing ovation from the Judges!!! Of Course!!!


But Oh no that's not all...they decided to do a little story about this amazing family of Dancers and so to make a long story short... I spent last Saturday afternoon dodging a camera crew that was filming my parents, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews at my house. (Don't ask me why they decided to do it here, I don't know! :) Anyway, I am so excited to see what the final cut looks like and to see how far my bro goes in the competition! BEST OF LUCK MIKE!!!

The Warner Family

What a gorgeous group of people!!! It's always a fun adventure when we take photos of my cute friend Kami and her family! I've never seen so many darling smiles in one place. Gramdpa had the little ones laughing so hard... If Kami could just get him to go along with her on her shoots they would all be a complete breeze!!! Thanks for being so great Warner Family!

Glam Rock

I had so much fun with the "Glamour Shots" from Kaitlins birthday party
I thought I'd mess around with some of my older files. Bethany has been married for over a year now. And my neice Socorro is going to be 20 in a few days.... I think. WHAT THE??? I can't believe how fast the time flies by!

Valentines

I LOVE VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!! Everything about it is just SOOO Sweet! In our house everyone wakes up to paper hearts stuck to the walls that say a little somethin' sweet about them. Even 2 years ago when I had just had knee surgery (again) a few days before... I was hobbling around on crutches taping those hearts to the wall! I didn't think it was that big of a deal until I heard the kids the next morning saying "wow, I didn't think we were going to get these this year..." they were happy! I loved doing the whole Valentine thing as a kid in school. We'd usually make a big paper pouch out of red butcher paper that was stapled together so our red hots would fall through the gaps and if you dropped it in the snow on the way home from school it would leave a big red mark from the crepe paper that was probably glued on in squares with a pencil eraser...ahhhhhh I loved those days!

Kaitlin's Birthday Glamour Shots

OH my Heck....I got just a tiny glimpse of what my basement is going to be like in a few years with a bunch of girls fighting over the mirrors, a curling iron, clothes, make-up...whatever. For Kailtin's birthday party this year she decided to have a "Glamour Fashion Shots" party. From the noise level coming from downstairs it sounded like a great time picking out what they were going to wear. We heard laughing, squealing, the words "like totally" a million times and whatever other noises a group of 8 "tween" girls can make...but when the camera came out...it was a whirlwind of pure craziness!!! They were so cute though!!! I loved seeing the stylish outfits they came up with along with their fun poses. They had a great time! I wouldn't ever recommend doing that with a newborn though...I crashed when it was all over:). Maybe that's why it's taken me 2 months to get these posted... the party was at the end of November!

And now for something completely different...

It's probably going to be a few weeks before I can schedule any sessions... I NEED GLASSES! (Except of coarse for you guys that I've already lined up...and don't worry they'll be fine!) I cannot believe how quickly my eyes have gone bad. I was hoping that it was only because I was preggers and that they would go back after Ava was born, but she's 3 months old and they're still pieces of junk. My eyes seriously water for hours after I take pictures from strianing them to try to get things in focus...which apparantly their not getting in focus because I can't see. By the way, I will be re-taking the pics of Reagan that I posted a few days ago. I couldn't tell they were blurry until I posted them and looked at them big. What a bummer! Anyway...hope you're all having a great winter and enjoying all of this snow! I hate it...LOL just kidding! (Sort of).

P.S. I hope everyone had a chance to watch LOST last night...Season Premier...WHOO HOO!!! Of coarse we had our Season Premier party and of coarse a Season Finally party will be had. So for all of you LOST junkies out there... My house...7:00...whatever date the finally is going to be on...we'll have treats! And if Keiffer is out of Jail and the writers strike can get resolved... "24" season premier party...my house....7:00.....whatever day it is.....We'll have snacks!!!!!!

Sis. Wilde

"I just love Sis. Wilde", Reagan will say at completey random times each day. Sis. Wilde was her Primary teacher this last year and Reagan was completely heart-broken when she found out that she wasn't going to be in her class anymore. So last Saturday Reagan brought her some beautiful roses, (because that is absolutely Reagan's very most favorite gift to give...her middle name is Rosemary after all) and we were able to spend a little while that afternoon with her "Best teacher in the whole wide world". Sis. Wilde loved each child in her class and they could feel it. She always prepared the most beautiful lessons and taught them in a way that touched the hearts of those little ones. I love asking Reagan what she's learning about in Church.
It's always so sweet to hear how her little Testimony is growing about the most fundamental parts of the Gospel.



A few days ago Sis. Wilde brought over these fabulous Scrapbook pages about their primary class. Of coarse Reagan was so excited to see "her Sis.Wilde" again and she carried them around with her all night, along with the beautiful handmade card that came with them. What a blessing it's been to have such an amazing example in our lives!
