Wedded Bliss!

The new in-laws

Waiting out the rain right before the ceremony

Father/Daughter dance. What a handsome fella!

After eating the cake. It was delicious! Thanks to Mary and Connie for cutting and serving

I thought I might put up a few unofficial shots from the wedding. Thank you to everyone who was able to make it! In true Moore fashion, you braved the weather and stayed til the bitter end. I appreciate that more than you could know! To those who weren't able to make it, I know you were there in spirit. Thank you all for the love and support you have shown Shane and I. This family never ceases to amaze me! I love you all!!    

I thought I would post some of my favorite pictures from the Fabulous Family Reunion! I also wanted everyone to know that once I have all of Grama's old pictures cropped and uploaded to snapfish, I will share the album so that you can print off any of the pictures that you like. And you won't have to pay the outlandish auction prices for them. :) Was so wonderful to see everyone!! Now we need some pictures of Molly's wedding posted!

Happy Anniversary

Hard to believe it's been 10 years since we celebrated these two in Iowa.  And it's been a very busy decade for them.  Through all the travel, moves, and boys these two always keep smiles on their faces (at least when others are watching) and find the best in every moment.  Happy Anniversary, you two, and enjoy your day.  See you next week!

Love,
Mike

Happy Belated, Megs!

Happy belated 31st birthday to Meghan! You have had quite the year, sister, but even with all the ups and downs, you have managed to remain a loyal and loving wife, mother, and sister. I hope you enjoyed your day! I cannot wait to raise a glass of sparkling cider with you and toast another year! Love you big sis. Sidenote - if you haven't read her most recent blog posts, you should check it out: http://meghansmomentsinlife.blogspot.com/

Silent Auction at the Family Reunion

I hope all who are attending the Moore Family Reunion next weekend will bring an item for the Silent Auction. The more it focuses on the extended Moore family, the better! Connie Moore Morris has graciously volunteered to organize it, so let her know what you plan to bring. You can email her at wdmcjm@bresnan.net. This is gonna be a great time! Johnny

More additions....

Thought we'd stop by and check in with the family.  So many birthdays and anniversaries and births going on lately!!!

First - Happy Birthday to Leo this past Thursday!!  I don't have a good picture of you kiddo, otherwise, I'd post it!

Second - Mid-February will welcome another addition to the Schulte family.  We are expecting another little miss or man!  We are pretty excited after getting over the initial apprehension.  I've got an amazing doctor who's keeping close tabs on everything.

Third - We traveled to Yellowstone a couple weekends ago and - despite not seeing ONE bison the ENTIRE time - it was a great time!  I've included some pictures with one kind of showing the baby belly. :)  Tyson loved the mud pots and Charlie was fascinated by the waterfalls.  I could have done without some of the HIGH drop-offs but we survived!

Hope all are doing well!

Love,
Ryan, Meghan, Tyson, Charlie, and Lovebug

Poppy Oliver Moore

Yesterday, we were joined in Doha by our daughter, Poppy Oliver Moore.  She was born metric: weighing 3.465 kg and 52 cm tall.  Mother and daughter are both happy and healthy, and John Rubin has been curious and kind.  We very much look forward to introducing her to you all!

PS - we'll post on facebook soon; please don't beat us to the punch.

Carter in Cooperstown

First, I wanted to say thanks to the many of you who donated to Carter's baseball team in helping them get to Cooperstown, New York for the baseball tournament. It really was a once in a lifetime opportunity and the coolest thing we have ever done as a family. It was amazing! Second, I thought I would share his Cooperstown video being that it might get inducted into the Hall of Fame in that very same town. I need to preface it with a bit of an explanation just so you will get the full value of what happens while you watch. In the beginning of the video, he is just a foot away from a homerun- so fun! But shortly thereafter, his little pickle ends up in an unintentional tackle. Really, he did not mean to mow down that kid that was standing right in the middle of the baseline. But to make matters memorable, that little throwdown caused his ejection from that game AND the following two games - intense, I know! And though it was difficult to be kicked out of the final games of the tournament, he now considers it a pretty great story. And to make it all the more ironic - in the last tournament of the summer in Utah, he was PLAYING third base and a kid slid into him and broke his leg. He is already on his second cast being that he already wore through his first one. Anyway, thanks again to everyone and can't wait to see you all in just a few short weeks!! Here is the link to Carter's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-GQ6p4B-_0

Happy Birthday, Annie!

Well, it's busy birthday time again. Third day this week for a family event – this time Little Annie Ohio herself! (But don't tell her, she still thinks of herself as being, like, 37 or so.) Really, though, she has a heart for all the ages. I, for one, and so happy that she brought her heart to Montana 24 years ago. Happy Birthday, Ann – we all love you.

Miranda is ... older!

Miranda Jeanne is another year older and as awesome as ever.  She is a great daughter, a fantastic sister, a stupendous wife and mother and a great and caring nurse.  We are so blessed to have you live so close to us that we get to spend time with you and the kids.  This summer has been great with all the camping trips.  Enjoy your day and go get 'em this next year!
We love you tons~

Nate's 29 Today

Happy Birthday Nate! The California Kid and the last of the "triplets" is celebrating his 29th birthday today. This past year has been an eventful ride for Nate. He's been working hard, and last year became a Corporate Vice-President with New York Life. In my research, he's one of the youngest CVP's in the Company! When he's not working he's playing hard, and always seems to be on the go. In the last few months he's spent a lot of time on the water at Discovery Bay, been to San Diego, Texas, Nevada, Colorado, Montana, and I know I'm missing an adventure or two. Oh, and his sports teams came through for him this year. Both the Seahawks and Spurs won championships. Nate, your Mom and I are both very proud of you, and we hope your 30th year is as eventful and exciting as your 29th year. We're looking forward to seeing you for the two upcoming weddings in Montana. Love you!

Bill's 70th

Although Bill's birthday was officially last Monday, we celebrated Saturday at Mary & Jim's house.  Some of Bill's family was able to join as well as some old friends. One of Bill's nieces brought homemade potatoe salad all the way from Spokane..yum!! And someone brought some homemade small pasties which were a big hit. Connie knocked herself out supplying food and beverages. Good food, good company, and I think Bill had a good time, I know everyone else did.

Ryan's Birthday!

Happy birthday to a genuinely nice guy!  He is a great coach and role model for the kids he teaches; a great dad, husband, son and "son".  He is out doing something he loves best today - golfing with his brothers!  Enjoy your day, Ryan.  We love you!

Billy is 70!

Well, I feel like an idiot!  I cannot find one picture of Bill on my IPhotos!  We just want to give our very favorite Butte family member a shout out today on entering his 7th decade of life!!  The celebration will be Saturday at Mary's at 4:00!  Come and celebrate our special guy!!!

Samuel Jesse is 21!

Watch out world!  Sam is now an official adult!
We had a great weekend camping with Ben, Adrienne and family and Randa and gang.  We got to visit Virginia City and have fun with some great people!  Sam returns to Idaho next week for his 2nd AT with the Guard then back to school in Bozeman. 
Happy birthday to an awesome young man.  We are so proud of you and love you tons!

Reunion Update

We have a slight change in the agenda. On Saturday, the John Moore siblings will host lunch at the main lodge, Camp Mak-a-Dream. This will take place at 12:30 after the tours in Deer Lodge. Jan will coordinate our various contributions to the lunch. Remember, we'll have a silent auction on Saturday evening. Be thinking of something to put in the auction. The more it's related to the Moore Family, the better.

Teddy is One!

This sweet, adorable, sleepy, darling of a boy is ONE today!  My how time flies.  Seems like I was just in Texas and with the boys when you were born, Teddy!!  We love you and pray for God's blessings on you this special day!!

Grandma's shin-dig

To all the planners for Grandma's party:  a few questions.
1.  Could you post again the price to stay for the weekend?  Are kids included with a paying parent or are they separate?

2.  Is there a schedule of events ready yet that could be shared?

3.  Anything specific you are looking for in terms of auction items?

That's it for me.  If anyone else has questions, post below.

Happy summer!!
