Man meets lawn

Aaah the exhilaration of mowing your own lawn! Annie clipped this picture of me enjoying my first mow. We borrowed the lawnmower from our Mormon Aggie neighbors, thats right we moved in next to Mormons who also happened to attend Utah State......Hello!!!!!

Anyway the move went well, and we are in!!! It is so much fun. Come see us!

Jake and Annie

Adam is very excited because he lost his first tooth today! It had been lose for just a little while.

Adam says that Gabriel helped him lose it. They were playing tug-of-war with a blanket--Adam pulled with his teeth. We are glad it is out because the adult tooth had already surfaced behind it.

The Moss boys had a great time today. Rebekah saw the rather innocent beginnings, went to get the camera and came back to...

summer portrait

we took these for mom on her birthday. i got my friend to take them and then i quickly posted them so mom could get them on her birthday. they are called summer portraits because it was so stinkin hot. ( its been 105 her with 100% humidity)

birthday hike

birthday for mom/grandma

I want to thank all of you for the cards, e-mails, phone calls and pictures. Wow , I love you all!!! I wanted to go on a hike for my birthday. So Dad and Daniel, Deb and Andrew all came with me on a hike to Lake Katherine. We went up little Cottonwood Canyon, to the Lake and packed in our cooked foil dinners. Yum! We saw 3 moose and several deer. It was beautiful and I loved it. I am out of shape so it was hard getting there, but once we were there it was so worth it. Wish that all of you could have been there with me. Deb and Andrew bought a cheese cake to top off the evening. Here are some pictures to enjoy.

Buon Complianno! Happy Birthday Grandma!

Sammy got to the kitty!

Google Sketch-up Nerd Alert!!!

Annie and I spent all night last night working on our to scale drawings and renderings of our home. Obsess much????? Anyway isnt this fun? We could do it all day. We can bring different furniture in, different colors... and best of all, Annie can tear down any wall she wants in this environment. Check out google sketch up.... its a blast!!!

Enjoy

Jake and Annie Chimen in !!

Hey There Y'all

I am shocked and embarrased that I didn't know about this blog. Truly. Annie and I are all about the blog. There is nothing insignificant enough about our lives that we wouldn't want everyone to know about... and visa versa.

Most significant for us is the home we are in the process of purchasing. It is all we can think about. We are excited to move in! That will happen in a few weeks, just as soon as we sell our souls to the bank..... Whew! Anyway. Oregon Summers are awesome!!!

Life is good. Annie read the final Harry Potter and cried whiel she explained the ending to me (two days after she finished, (I was at Scout camp)). SHe is still recovering, were hoping that she can start worrying about other things.... actually she worries about the house enough to pull her out of this one.

We love you guys. Life is challenging, but its full of fun and excitement too!!!

Hey everyone I wanted to show you a crazy thing that had been growing in our house. We bought some Tomatoes at the store (no not from the garden) and put them in the window. Well after a few days (ok, maybe more than a few) dad looked at this tomatoe and we saw plants growing out of it. We had never seen this before. Have any of you? Interesting

okay, so here are the pictures

i couldn't get the pictures to upload the first go round. so here they are. yuck.

finally...something exciting

I have been so excited about this family blog idea but i never have anything cool to post. so today i finally realized that my time has come. a week ago today (last sunday), i (angie callister) burned my leg getting onto the back of adam wray's motorcycle. here's a couple of pics. it hurt a whole lot and still continues to give me grief. the first picture is a couple of days after and the second is actually from today. well, enjoy! and sorry if it grosses you out.
