The Birthday Boy in Heaven!

Just a shout up and out to good ole WD on his birthday!  You may be gone, friend, but never forgotten!!  Love ya!!

New Job, New City, New Me

Maria and I were in Twin Falls and the tattoo bug bit me and I decided what the hell, time for a change.

Owen "Ozzie" Nick Wingerter

Our second boy came into the world about a week earlier than expected on Friday. He was 8lb 13 oz - about a pound smaller than Dex. Deanne and Owen did amazing and we are home now resting and recovering. Both of us are off work and planning the big move to Denver around mid-June. We are feeling very blessed.

Love everyone tons!

Jake

Just an FYI

I will be bringing all of mom/grandmothers decorations to the picnic. They are mainly Christmas decorations, but there may be others. Anyone can take whatever they want.

Maria’s Surgery

Maria’s in surgery right now to remove a nasty bunion and some major reconstruction on some of her toes.  She’s been in for 4 hours so far.  She’ll be off work for 6 weeks.  Hoping all goes well. 

Saturday Night Live!

The biennial revue and farce, "Saturday Night Live in Helena," opened its four-night run on Wednesday.  It started almost 40 years ago, spoofing the legislature and other political issues. This is the second show I've been part of.  It's a bunch of fun.

Butte in Boise

Celebrated St. Patrick's Day Butte style in downtown Boise complete with pasties, pork chop sandwiches, Sheppard's pie and bagpipers. 

 

 

Rock and Roll All Night...

We just wrapped up a nice Chicago visit from Jim and Maria, capped off with a Kiss concert that was full of fire, blood and loud guitars.   Jim and Maria came here from a week exploring Texas and had a whirlwind day in Chicago - including Millenium Park, the Art Institute, a matinee of Hamilton, and finally this killer rock show.  Fun times!

Who is it?

Can you name the man behind us?  Major hint......we’re in Austin, TX.

The Weekend of Moore Fun 2019

It's time to make this happen...AGAIN!!  If your calendars are not already marked, block out 12-14 July for the second annual Weekend of Moore Fun!  We have the entire Riverside Motel in Ennis blocked out for the weekend.

Unlike last year, we will not be doing a SignUp Genius.  The Moore Siblings are providing meals for Friday night and Saturday night.  Lunch consisting of deli sandwich makings, chips, and fruit will be provided for Saturday -- please feel free to add to the food for lunch (dietary needs or just because), but don't worry about bringing anything for the dinners unless specifically asked.  Breakfasts will be on your own like we did last year.

Below is a layout of the rooms, a room description, and room assignments.  We are going to do it a little different this year.  I will not be assigning rooms, but rather you can pick from whatever rooms are available.  The Buyske Clan is arriving on Wednesday, 10 July for a little family time before the weekend.  The only other rooms that would not be available before Friday afternoon are rooms 8, 9, and 11.

The Riverside Motel can be contacted at (406-682-4240).  Anna or Bethany will be happy to help you secure a reservation.  I will work with Anna to keep this list up to date, but everyone could help by commenting when you make a reservation.

Looking forward to another spectacular get together!

Here is the link to last year's list if you are wondering what room you had...

Weekend of Moore Fun 2018.

McCall Winter Carnival

Had a great time in McCall, ID the last few days viewing the various snow sculptures.  Pictured is one at the summit of Brundage Ski Resort.  It's weird riding a chairlift in the middle of winter without skis. 

Newest Buyske

We are excited to announce the arrival of Zachariah John Buyske to the family.  He arrived on December 21st (almost 2 weeks early) and weighing 8lbs and 15oz.  He and Melissa were able to be discharged and home for Christmas and both are doing very well. 

Happy Birthday Henry!

It's hard to believe it's been four years since we welcomed Henry into this world, but he turned four today.  He is a very active boy who loves to read, do puzzles, play with his brother (most of the time), and ride his bike.  We love you so much, Henry!  Happy Birthday!

Nate is Losing It!

Nate,
This is the first Bobcat/Griz game in a long time that you haven't posted that stupid picture of yours!  Are you sick???

First Teenage Grandchild!

On November 9th, Will turned 13!  How that happened, I don't know!!  We have our first teenager in the family of grandchildren.  He is such a sweet, thoughtful, talented young man.  He auditioned for the Metro District Middle School Jazz Band and Concert Band and was named first chair trombone!  The concert is next Sunday the 18th.  We are so sad we can't be there but we will be thinking of him! Happy belated, birthday Will boy!  We love you!  Grampa and Gramma  💝🎂

These aren't in order but then I am never good at getting it that way.  Will was a cell phone for Halloween and made it himself.  

Boise Chamber of Commerce Gala

In the interest of keeping the blog alive (and as a courtesy to those that are not on Facebook) I'm posting a couple of pictures of a recent event that Maria and I attended.  It was the Boise Chamber of Commerce's Annual Gala which is their huge fundraiser for the year.  Delta was a major sponsor as was Horizon/Alaska.  I'd like to think we represented both well.

Jimmy!!

Jimmy's birthday is coming!!  Sunday is the big day!  He and Maria are touring the Oregon coast in celebration but let us not forget our baby brother!!  Happy day, Jimmy!

Happy birthday Maddie!

Yep,,, the youngest Moore grandchild is 21 years old today.  I can't believe our baby is that old!  I truly don't know where the time has gone.
We celebrated the day with Maddie on Sunday in Butte.  It was a super nice afternoon.
Happy, happy day, Maddie Jo!  We love you beyond measure!

Moore Family Event 2019

Connie wanted something in the blog concerning next year's Moore Family Event.  In case anyone missed the notice, it will be July 12th - 14th in Ennis at the same motel.  Matt has reserved the whole motel again and will be connecting with people later in the year.  We did decide to do two nights instead of three and the siblings are cooking the two main dinners.  Mark your calendars and be ready for the 2nd annual Moore Family Event!!

Moore Pics from the Event

I noticed that the Tom Moore family wasn't posted......thanks Maria for the great shot!
