Breast Cancer Walk

The kids and I did a breast cancer walk that a friend of ours was putting on for a school project. It  was down at the fairgrounds and you went straight up a very big hill. It was fun to do something as a family and help raise a little money for breast cancer. I know an amazing lady named Missy who fought Breast cancer and won the battle. I know not everyone is so lucky. Cierra's run club did it too.

Moeller Family reunion

This summer we were able to get together for a Barbeque with my mom's side of the family. We had fun getting reacquainted with cousins, aunts and uncles that we haven't seen in a long time. We  decided this would be an annual event and I'm looking forward to the next one!:)

My new Love!

I have a new love but it has not replaced Sean or my 4 children, but it is right up there with them. CROSSFIT!! It is the best thing ever. I have always liked exercising but I have never been this passionate about it. I love to run and I still do that 2 days a week, but right now crossfit has my heart. People ask me about it and I have a really hard time explaining it but it is seriously the best workout ever. It is always different and I love coming in to the "box" to see what kind of fun I am going to have on that particular day.I leave dripping with sweat and it feels so good. I have gotten stronger, I have learned to eat "clean" and I love the way it makes me feel. I have some really great trainers that take the time to show me how to properly do all the workouts. Some accomplishment's that I have had recently is, I was able to deadlift 160 pounds, I can do 25 double unders(with a jump rope), I can take 4 steps doing a handstand, and I can almost do a kipping pull up without assistance. I feel strong , I feel good and that is why I do crossfit!   
 
The kids got me these shoes for my birthday and I love them because they remind me of what I am capable of! I just recently bought a new pair so I can have options!:)
 On September 26th I did my first prescribed workout, meaning I was able to do the workout exactly as you are suppose to without having to do a lower weight or have assistance on something. This workout was wall balls and box jumps. You ended up doing 150 total of each and my time was 25:21. Since then I know I would be able to do it faster and more efficiently. You are always learning and growing in crossfit and I will do it for a very long time to come!



Connor is a teenager!

Connor is officially a teenager even though he has been acting like one for a year! We had his birthday party at my parents house this year. They have the room and it was nice to do a movie night  in their backyard. Connor chose Hunger Games to watch. I was a little unsure about how this would go over with parents but everyone was able to come. This was his first boy-girl party too....He has such a good group of friends and they all get along, I love it. I work with most of the girls at church and I love them dearly so it was fun to have them there.
 
Sean and my dad got the movie screen all set up:
 

Concessions were ready:

His #1 girl was there! What more could you ask for??

 
They played a few games, but mostly just sat around and talked and hung out.

I think he liked Ellie's gift the best;o)

 
 
 
 

Connor and Ellie had some fun with the cupcakes. This will be fun to show their children!



 
 
And finally at dusk, we started the movie.
 
Happy Birthday to my only boy who I treasure and will always hold close to my heart. Connor is sensitive like his mom and always makes sure I'm doing OK! Love him!!

Cierra is 11!!!!






Cierra turned 11 on September 10th.(as you can see, I'm a little behind in blogging but I am trying to catch up!!) Cierra wanted to have her party at the pool this year, so that is what we did and it turned out great! She has really great friends and they all had fun. Afterwards we went outside to do cupcakes and presents. It was a little windy so we had to go behind the building to blow out the candles but she managed to do it.
Cierra got money, makeup, jewelry and some accessories and she loved it all. She has been wanting a North face jacket and Tom's so that is what we got her along with an ipod case.
Cierra is one feisty 11 year old but she is my most kind, loving giving child. She is the first one to get her chores done and she is always going over to help my friend and neighbor, Anna with her 5 kids. She was over there yesterday separating her 40 pounds of chicken in to bags for her.She will do anything to serve and I love her for her kind heart!!

BIG TIME RUSH AND CODY SIMPSON!!!


Kaylee, Ashley and Serena saw Big Time Rush and Cody Simpson at the fair this year. They were so excited to go and I was so excited when they got out of my car after all the screaming and yelling they were doing! They had a great time and even got a picture with Cody Simpson's sister.
Kaylee called me from the concert crying saying something that I could not understand. I seriously thought she had been kidnapped, but it turns out she was just so excited she had to let me know. She is crazy but I love her spunk and her fun personality!
Thanks to grandma and grandpa who were the cool ones that bought her the ticket for her birthday!

Puyallup Fair 2012

Every year, I say we aren't going to the fair, and every year we do! Go figure! This year we had a good reason though. Cierra played the finger symbols with her class in the exhibition hall. It was fun to watch, but Cierra seemed a little bored. We brought along Maeghan and met up with a few friends once we got there. Kaylee and Connor went to but didn't stay with us. That would have been totally uncool. I brought Connor and 3 friends, which all happened to be girls. They went and got dizzy passes and rode all the rides, while we only rode a few and then looked around at everything. Kaylee went with a group of kids and we saw her a few times but she was off doing the rides as well.

They had fun dressing up for a picture!


Cierra as always wanted to do this and so she brought her own money this time!!:)
 
We did have a great time but it is always exhausting for me. I was glad to get home and climb into bed. It's hard being a single parent when Sean travels all the time.!

Kaylee turns 15

Kaylee turned 15 on August 12th!  For her birthday we re-did her room. She did most of the work herself but I did help a little and grandma and grandpa came over to help set up her new bed. She painted her room blue and got a white bedspread with some fun blue pillows. She also got some other cute stuff and had fun re-decorating.
I still can't believe I'm old enough to have a 15 year old but I guess it's true. Kaylee is a real joy to have as a daughter and has a heart of gold. I'm a little nervous for the next year since she will start dating and she will get her drivers licence but I guess we shall see how that goes.... Two very scary things for a mom!  Kaylee started early morning seminary this year and so far she is doing great! She gets up at 4am Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and is there by 5:45.
(Yes, it takes her that long to get ready!)
Love this girl!
Happy Birthday Kaylee Breahna:o)
