READ THIS - BLOG MOVING

Lisa and I have finally agreed (you'd think there would be a term like prenuptial or something) that we should use the same blog. For this, we've moving to http://joshandlisamoore.blogspot.com. Hopefully we're agree on a non-frilly yet "cute" blog. This is my last post from here. Oh...and those following this blog, please move your following to the new blog, links from your blogs/sites, and references in Google Reader. If you go to http://draft.blogger.com, under basic settings, you can import and export blogs that made this really easy.

Thanks for reading and commenting - it makes me feel great!

Cardboard Forts

We've been living the life of cardboard houses lately. Well, at least the kids. We saved the cardboard boxes from the playground equipment and have been forgetting about them downstairs in the basement. Here are a few fun shots.

Our Favorite Things

There are always a few things that are standard for our family. One is our love of Wheeler Farm and feeding the ducks (and the kids running away from the geese).

Natalie enjoying showing off her legs are strong enough to stand.

Tanner's four pieces of bread (to give to the ducks) went straight in his mouth.

Evidence of Lisa's yummy cookies we took to the farm.

Tanner and his buddy Grandpa.

Happy customers.

Sydney's Photo Studio

For Christmas last year we got Sydney a Fisher Price camera. For several months she enjoyed it, until Lisa made the full adjustment from our point and shoot to her digital SLR. Now, Sydney, photographer extraordinaire, is really enjoying making photography fun. From not covering the lens with your finger, getting the object in the viewer, centering it in the viewer, she has really become better at taking pictures. Here are a few from the last time we emptied the camera (of 400+ pictures). Here's some of my favorites if you're looking to use Sydney's Photo Studio:

Any good photographer enjoys self portraits.

Invididual Shots.

Family or group shots.

Landscapes.

Stake Conference

Stake Conference was great! The general session Lisa and I have a harder time getting stuff out of as Sydney and the twins take up a lot of our attention. However, last night the Priesthood leadership and the adult session (thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kids) was awesome! I really have a great love and respect for President Smith. He has a way of reproving with sharpness with love following thereafter. He makes you want to change and to be happy with the prospect of doing so, regardless of what difficulties it may require. Anyway, President Smith shared a story in today's general session about these spiders that can breath underwater by taking air with them down. The link points to National Geographic that calls these the equivalent of scuba tanks. The purpose of the story was to help us understand when we leave our home and enter in the world, we can take our environment with us.

The Divine Institution of Marriage

If you haven't read it yet, it's a must. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints released a document called The Divine Institution of Marriage. Despite your beliefs or feelings on the subject of same-sex marriage, it serves you best (including members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) to read this.

I appreciate their love and kindness in treating this delicate issue and those involved with deep, personal feelings with such respect. The intent is not to deny privileges of housing, insurance, etc., but to respect the sacred nature of marriage between a man and a woman.

Google Reader

For some reason, I feel I've already posted about this, as I love to tell everyone about this tool, as it saves so much time. Everyone checks several blogs, news sites, etc. as frequently as several times a day. Why check them if there is no new content? Or better yet, why not have a tool tell you when there's new content? For fear you think the tool is too hard to use, someone made a video trying to convince friends and family how easy it is to use, and how helpful it is. Since it's web-based, you can access it anywhere. Watch this movie, then thank me later. Once you're wise and knowledgable about Google Reader, add http://joshuatmoore.blogpost.com and http://backpackingutah.blogspot.com so as not to miss anymore enjoyment :)
