Happy (Late!) birthday, Jim!

Yep, Jim had a birthday.  Now he is as old as me!  'Twas a busy weekend, but we managed a few celebrations for Jim.  He actually cooked dinner on his real birthday and it was soooo good!  Friday we went out for a (game on legal) meal.  Saturday was the celebration of Uncle Buck's life with a ton of family around...what better way to celebrate a birthday?  Then Sunday we had a birthday dinner with Miranda, Ben and the Falls Wingerters.  All in all, Jim had an eventful birthday.
Love you dude!!  Hope you had a great weekend!

Uncle Buck

This is such a GREAT photo of Uncle Buck from the Moore family reunion in 2007.  Aurie sent it to Connie and we just had to post it!  He will most definitely be missed!

Uncle Buck

There is a real good picture of Uncle Buck on the Perry Moore blog. I couldn't get it copied to put on to ours.
The burial at Highland cemetary is at 10:00 on the 27th.
The celebration of life is from 3-6pm at the Meadowlark country club also on the 27th.

Happy BIG "60", Johnny!

Well, we had a big celebration for Johnny at the Brewhouse yesterday!  Gramma, Jimmy, Connie and Bill, Mary, Jim and Maddie, Johnny and Annie, and Marc and I all helped usher in  his 6th decade!!  Some of the pictures are blurry as he wouldn't quit moving!!  This first face shows how he feels about wearing a pin, even worse when it lights up!!  The second is what a child he still is - playing with his balloons!!  The third is his sippy cup wine glass!  Now he won't drool when he drinks!  (Who would ever think of such a gift!!).  The next one is his delicious champagne cake from Hemples Bakery in Great Falls compliments of Connie (in the background).  The next he managed to blow out the candles that said "The Big 60th Oh No!  It was a fun afternoon with lots of kidding, talking, reminiscing!!  Hope your day is as special as you are, Johnny!  You are the gentlest soul I have ever met!!  Love you!

Friday, April 12, 2013 Buck had severe stroke today Charles called tonight to ask me to let the Moore tribe know that his dad had a severe stroke today. The whole right side of his body and speech were affected. However, Buck was given a med ("something like Coumadin") in the first three hours after the stroke, which can possibly reverse some of the damage. Tonight Buck was able to speak a little. He's stable now and will have a CAT Scan tomorrow. Buck is in Osborne Healthcare in Scottsdale, Room 277, Intensive Care. Debbie, who lives in LA, and Charles are with him. Kathleen

Maddie' s first prom!

Just a couple photos of Madison's first prom!  Jim and I were lucky enough to be asked to chaperone so we got to watch all the festivities.  After the prom we had a few of the freshman class over for breakfast.  T'was a fun evening for sure!

Happy Birthday Emma!!

Emma Joy is 6 today!  How can that be?  This sweet girl has grown in to a caring, smart, funny, and beautiful little lady that we adore.  She had a friend birthday Friday at a cool hang-out place for kids called Kids Clubhouse and almost all of her friends from her class came (18 of the 23!)  It was pretty crazy!  Today we're having a family birthday and I think Uncle Tom, Aunt Jeanine and Uncle Ben will be there, plus lots of "dark siders".  We are so lucky to be close to family.  Happy birthday sweetheart!  We love you!

Happy 40th, Maurika!

Maurika Jeanne turns 40 today. No, really ... this is NOT an April Fool's gag. It's rather amazing that (1) the first grandchild has now hit 40, and (2) it happened so quickly, since I myself just turned 40. We're really happy for her, and we're looking forward to the celebration in Missoula on Thursday.
