Shane's new tattoo




So, also in January Shane received his bachelor's degree. In order to celebrate he decided to get the tattoo he has been wanting for about 10 years now. It is located on his left shoulder. The man is a palladin, a medieval knight, the surrounding knotted tree represents his strength and rooted character. the wolf represents his lifelong companion, ME, and the shield has part of the Moore family crest(dancing Lion), and also both Boys' names. there is also a "D" on the cross part of the sword. And the celtic knot on the knight's soldier is the Father's Celtic knot representing Shane. He had to have it done in 2 sessions, the first 2 pics are the result of his first session, and the 2nd 2 pics show the finished product with the shading and detail. I think it turned out great!

Aedyn + Connor = BROTHERS!

January 2010


So January was a busy month too. We decided to go to D-land on New Year’s day, and it wasn’t very crowded, good for us. I caught a gorgeous sunset on my I-phone on the way there. We have a least 3 family birthdays in January so first we celebrated our niece, Angela’s birthday at Shakey’s in Redlands. Short and fun. Aedyn kind of went crazy in the arcade area, he kept trying to take away everyones balls who was playing skeeball. Then, we celebrated my Mom’s 60th birthday. It was a really fun day and night, thanks to Heather (sis-sis-in-law-ish, LOL)watching the kiddos we got to spend time, just adults, at the Melting Pot, YUMMMMMY! Then, the next weekend we celebrated Kaitlyn’s 16th birthday with a family gathering. Looks like we took another trip to Disney with Kat, Jon, and Mom, helping them check rides and attractions off their Great Ride-Off list. We had a nice visit with Dad and Helen too before Dad had his knee surgery, the only pooper was we discovered that the really yummy Chinese restaurant up here ( 1 out of 4 restaurants) closed down. Wait - yet another trip to the Land, this time we got to say hey to Pluto.

We also attended Kat and Jon's annual Caroling party. Had a blast. Shane stayed home because he was feeling icky, so the boys had me running in circles, but Aunty KaKa and Uncle Jon and several party guests helped me out.

Ohh, we went specifically to see the Electrical Parade, which now only shows during the summer and the Christmas time at DCA.
We took one last trip to Disney for Christmas before our passes were blocked.
Wherever we go Aedyn always finds the trains.:)

Aedyn got to color, he was ecstatic to color the train.
We took time to visit Santa Claus!

Kathy graduated with her Master's degree.
Connor just stared in amazement, but kept his hands off the ornaments.
Aedyn pitched in when he woke up from his nap.

After the Parade we decided to put up and decorate the tree.
The boys were troupers in the cold.
Victorville has a Christmas parade. We went to see Kaityn "throw the flag", and Amber play in the marching band. It was Really cold that morning!
