Fun with 3 two year olds...yes 3!

Here are some pictures of a recent trip to the children's museum with Brock and two of his buddies, Drew and Greysen. The kids had a great time and to my surprise they all got along. They ran around a little and then spent about 1/2 hour playing with playdough and coloring in the art area. I think I am going to enjoy the children's museum this winter when it gets too chilly to play outside!

BFF - Brock and Drew!

Drew came over to celebrate Riley's birthday on Wednesday and he and Brock had the greatest time. They are so cute together...like 2 peas in a pod! Of course they have their moments...as most 2 year olds do. But they really do like each other! I took this pic of them and it turned out so cute (minus the pizza sauce on Brock's face.)

Nacho night!

Our great friends, Jamie and Eric had started the search for the best nachos in Missoula before we got here and invited us to join them and another couple last week to try a new restaurant, Sean Kelly's. They do have nachos sometimes but didn't the night we went. The food was still fabulous and the dessert was even better. For those of you that know Jamie she is a dessert connoisseur. And that's ok because she works out for a living (personal trainer and aerobics teacher)! We had a great time visiting with them and the other couple. Since moving we have met so many great people! We are still missing our Lewiston friends and keep trying to bribe them to come visit! I thought maybe this little post about all of the fabulous restaurants might entice some! Speaking of eating dessert and nachos, today we are going to check out the YMCA. They have a pretty large facility here and so we thought we might join! They have lots of activities for the kids as well as a great workout facility for adults.

Thursday night at the park!

There are so many activities to do in Missoula it could literally keep you going every day and night. We had heard a lot about the Wednesday lunch and Thursday dinners at a local park. Basically June-August every Wednesday at lunch and every Thursday at dinner they have a big gathering in a park in downtown Missoula. They have live music, lots of food vendors and free kid's activities. We thougth we would try it out when the team was here to help with the service so we all ventured down there. It was a lot of fun...but a little chaotic with 4 kids in tow. We decided to make it a date night the next time we go. This park is also home to a "A Carousel for Missoula" which is a great carousel that we have yet to take the kids on. However, it is on our summer to-do list!

A wonderful gift!

My friend Jamie L made me this wonderful going away video. I thought it would be fun to share with all of my friends. I will miss all of you so much! But thank goodness for blogs, e-mail and unlimited long distance! We will definitely keep in touch!

Our girls day out!

One of my favorite things about having a girl is being able to do "girly" things together! Today Abby and I had a mommy/daughter date. We started out by shopping (just at Walmart....not too exciting) and then we were off to get a pedicure. My mom instilled this value in me at a young age...pampering yourself! She use to always take me to get manicures and pedicures at the beauty school. Abby is pretty much a pro now! She sticks her feet up their, relaxes while they massage them and holds perfectly still while they polish. It is too cute!

After 0ur pampering , we called a friend to go to lunch. We had a great time visiting while the girls played. McDonald's wasn't too crazy considering the yucky weather outside.


Our last stop was JoAnn's to pick up some supplies for our boy's solar system project. We found some tiaras and feather boas along the way and the girls played dress up in the store! Wendy got in on the action too! How we will miss our Lewiston friends but we trust that they will come visit us in Missoula (hint hint!) and keep in touch!!

A week in the life of the Moser's!

I realize this blog is suppose to be "A Day in the Life of the Moser's" but who has time for that! Especially with the crazy weeks we have been having. So I thought I would do a quick update.

• Went to Women of Faith. What awesome speakers and singers! Had a great time with girlfriends. Think we're getting old...stopped at Walgreen's for earplugs, Tums, GasX (not for me) and sleeping pills to assure we would all sleep soundly (because of the snoring...once again, not me!) Ate too much food, laughed so much (almost peed our pants...again not me), got to sit in the front row (Thanks to EllaMae), got to see Kristi (great visiting) and last but not least...did a little shopping!

Nicole C. Mullen at Women of Faith ~ what an amazing voice!

Having dinner with the girls at Outback!

Our big Walgreens purchase!

• Snack Mom on Monday for Abby's preschool. She is starting to read which is so exciting! She can read a few beginner books very well. It is amazing to see them grow!

Abby doing the calendar and weather.

Brock playing in the sandbox indoors (what a brave preschool teacher!)

• Bunco Monday night! It is always a great time when you can get out of the house and also get out of making dinner! We has a fun time visiting. I can't wait to meet some new girls in Missoula and start up another Bunco group.
• Lunch Duty on Tuesday. This is when I realized I am not cut out to be a teacher! It was fun to hang out with the boys for a little bit however.
• Stayed home an cleaned on Wednesday. By this point in the week, I had been so busy my house was out of control so I spent the day cleaning and playing with the kids.
• Got pictures taken for the website. My friend Kelly is an amazing amateur photographer and she offered to take pics of our team for the website. Of course, that day ended up being the rainiest day of the week. She still managed to get some great pictures!
  

• Had Missoula group. Always a good time discussing plans and praying!
  
• Took Brock to Dr. for well baby check. He is getting so big. 29 lbs. (70%) and 35" (85%) Got a few shots and all looks good!
  
• Missoula trip. Brian left at 5:30am to go to Missoula for the day. He met someone about a potential building that we may be able to use for our church. The meeting went well and we are very excited to see if we will be able to meet there. He made it back at 11:00pm. What a long day!
  
• Showed the house on Thursday It is still being shown even though we have a pending sale. Hopefully we will sell it one way or the other soon....uuuuggghhhh....I don't like the waiting!
  
• Went to dinner Yes, I am certifiably crazy....I took all 4 children to Applebee's by myself for dinner. The showing was at 6:30 so we had to be gone during dinner time. The kids actually did really well!
  
• Bible Study I love my Friday morning bible study! It's a great time to visit with the girls and get in to the Word.
• Showing the house again on Saturday. We are trying to keep the house clean because we have another showing tomorrow morning (did I mention I am ready for this house to be SOLD!)
• Looking forward to the weekend! Hopefully it includes a date night and some relaxing time with the kids!
  

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the Mosers!
Just a few pictures of the kids in green. Abby was so worried about getting pinched because she only had a green shirt on and no green pants. So we put a green bow and green earrings in and off she went to preschool. After school, Sam came over and we had graham crackers with green frosting and green sprinkles thus the green mouths in the pictures! As you can see, Brock thoroughly enjoyed his graham cracker as well. After lunch, the kids went outside to hunt for leprechauns to no avail. I do love their imaginations!
