Moyes family pictures, June 2022

My mom wanted to get an updated family picture before Ben left on his mission. Not too hard of a task since we all live close to each other and since the kids are getting older. She thought it would be fun to have them taken on a beach at Bear Lake, a place that means a lot to our family and where we have made so many memories. They found a local photographer that came highly recommended and got permission from some family friends to use their property that goes right down to the lake. We were supposed to have them done over Memorial Day but the weather didn't cooperate so we were able to reschedule for when we were all there for Grandkid Camp. Stockton was so happy to have family pictures on his birthday, ha! It took forever to finally get them back, but they turned out really good so it was worth the wait. Here they are...

Getting a decent picture with 16 kids and 10 adults is no small feat!

It had been 4+ years since we did family photos and 3 years since I had the kids' done so we were way past due. I took advantage of this night and paid a little extra to have just our family and kids done. Nice to put some more current photos in some frames around our home.

I always have been, and continue to be, thankful for this family. How blessed we are to have such a network of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins to support us through any and everything. So glad we are close in proximity but also close in our relationships as well; it is not something that is replaceable.

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right. Brynn is 18 months old!! She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books! She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough. Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her. This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket. She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated. For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk! Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Stockton's 16th birthday

Stockton turned 16 on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. We've always told him he has the best day to have a birthday but I don't think he was convinced this year. He was anxious to turn 16 and get his license...it really felt like it took forever to get here. I told Justin that Stockton had to wait so much longer than Molly to get his license and he said, "actually, it took the exact same amount of time", which is factually true, it just felt a lot longer with Molly getting her license September of her sophomore year and Stockton not getting his until after sophomore year, before junior year. But, it did eventually arrive and we did our best to celebrate. We did the family celebration the Sunday before, since it was Girl's Camp that week and Justin, Molly, and Brynn would all be gone on his actual birthday. We had his requested dinner, meatballs, and he opened his presents. He got his favorite treats (nerd clusters, sour patch watermelon, and cow tails) and a new bat th...

all about Stockton

Stockton has loved having his license. He enjoys his independence immensely and does not take it for granted, probably because he had to wait for so long. He takes care of his truck, inside and out. He is always willing to run errands for me or take/pick up his sisters when I need him to. He tries to take back roads whenever he can-good thing you can get most anywhere in Heber on back roads. This summer his love for cars has really amped up. He said he's always loved cars but he has just been noticing and talking about them more and more. He will point out a "cool car" whenever we are in the car and has a lot of knowledge about all the different features of the different cars. He has a dream car (can't remember which one) but also knows which color he would get in each of the different kinds of sports cars. He has slowly been buying sports car Lego sets with his birthday money, putting them together, and displaying them in his room. It's fun to see how excited h...
