One Exciting Day

Well July 4th was a double wammy for the Moon family. It is a day to both celebrate Jaycie's Birthday and Independence Day. Shannnon's family came down to visit us and join in on the celebration.

Jaycie and her Tinkerbell cake. Shannon asked her what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday. She replied, "blueberry." Thank goodness Smith's bakery has cakes that can be layered with bluberry filling.

Opening one of the many gifts. Thank you eveyone for you gifts! Jaycie, of course, was in 7th heaven with her newly aquired toys, books and clothes.

...lots and lots of presents

After naps the fireworks celeration began. First on the list, snakes and smokebombs in the daylight hours.

...and fireworks in the dark. We all had a great day.

Settling into our New Home

Well, we are finally down in Las Vegas getting settled in. We really like our new house and love the neighborhood we moved into. Everyone that asks us where we moved into agrees that it is a very nice area. I have really enjoyed my new job at Spring Valley Hospital. The leadership team here is very supportive of Associate Administrators and are really great to work with.

Here are a few pictures of the kids enjoying the new house.


McKenna has begun crawling. She goes everywhere. She especially loves the kitchen. We gave her the wooden spoon to play with and she totes it around and likes to hit things with it.

Jaycie and McKenna like playing together. However, McKenna wants to play with everything that Jaycie does, which causes some scuffles.

When it isn't over 100 degrees, we really love going out in the backyard. We have grass both in the front yard and the back (which is a bit of a rareity in Las Vegas). We have several lizards that live in our yard and are fun to see.
