30th Anniversary Cruise to Alaska

When we got on the boat there was a dozen red roses and 2 plates of chocolate dipped strawberries for us to enjoy. Happy Anniversary to us both.

Well here we go. We had to have a practice drill on what to do in case of an emergency. Life jackets are the best.

We are on the boat on ready to sail. Alaska here we come.

Yes Virginia there is a Santa and he lives in Alaska!!!

They had the prettiest sunsets in Alaska.

The whales were awesome. We saw about 30 of them and that is the most that they had seen that day. We could watch them all day as they were so cool to watch.

We saw steller sea lions basking in the cool weather. They were having fun swimming together and playing with each other.

One of Lyman's favorite things to do is photograph flowers. Look at the bees on the flowers. This is a type of sunflower.

Lyman and I got to make our own glass ornaments. This is great as we collect ornaments on the places we have visited for our Christmas Tree.

This was in Tracy Arm. We got to see glaciers and they were the prettiest blue that I have ever seen.

30th Wedding Anniversary

Lyman and I will celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary on August 16, 2009. We got married in the Salt Lake Temple where many family and friends shared the day with us. We can't believe that it has been 30 years already. We are fortunate to make it this far, because you just don't see marriages last this long anymore. Thank goodness we have the church in our lives to help us make it for "Time and All Eternity." We have something to look forward to and we work pretty hard at this marriage so we can be together with each other and our family forever. We are going to go cruising to Alaska in September and looking forward to the vacation. Just want to let Lyman know that I love him and appreciate everything that he has done for me and the family. I love you so much and I'm looking forward to spending another 30+ years with you in my life. Love ya.........Dee

Lyman's New Hobby--SCUBA DIVING

Lyman diving with the turtles

The real dive at Balmorhea State Park. It feels like I'm in space. This has got to be the best.


They gave Lyman a coin to say "YOU PASSED!!!

This is Lyman with his full gear on in the BTSR Pool. "This is going to be great, I can tell"

This is the group learning how it's done. Can't wait until the BIG DIVE!!

Lyman had so much fun. Now he says, "Well guess where ever we go we need to let me go scuba diving. He loves this and wants to keep it up. Guess we will see where it takes us.

Lyman at BTSR

Lyman goes up to the scout ranch, BTSR each week and takes people with him to go into the back country. This is his favorite place to be in the summer other than riding horseback. It is a great camp. He even looks the part of Texan with his spiffy hat. Any one want to come down to Texas and have a ride in the back country?????

ManDee and Scott Laing's Wedding

ManDee married Scott Laing on June 28, 2008 in the Lubbock Texas Temple. It was of course a great day weather wise and had no problems. Being a small Temple you get to take time in the bridesroom and Lyman was told by the Temple President that he will get to have a few minutes with ManDee in that room all by themselves. It was a great honor for them to be in there together for a few minutes alone. Grandma and Grandpa Moore as well as JaNae and Jim Kepple (Aunt and Uncle) came to be here with us as well as Shad, Brittany, Brooklyn, Chandler, Lacey and Tyler and many friends and neighbors to celebrate with us.

Lacey and Tyler's Wedding

Lacey married Tyler Voris on December 20, 2007 in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a nice day with clouds in the sky. The ceremony which was given by Lacey's grandfather Gene Moore and was especially nice with having a lot of friends and relatives attending the wedding and breakfast. The reception that evening was a different story. The weather decided to pull a fast one and gave us a blizzard. There still were a lot of people that braved the weather and came to give wishes to the married couple and we thank them for coming and braving the bad weather.

We are finally HIP now with our new Blog!!!!

Well, we finally did the blog thing. Guess we need to keep up with all of our family who has their own blogs. We will see how this goes because Dee is doing this and not very smart about putting this all together...............So be patient.
