Cameron,Heather & Seja Moore

Seja loves Reagan

2014-09-05T12:47:00.001-06:00

A friend of mine came over to visit. She took a few pictures of the girls together. These ones turned out really good. Seja just loves Reagan!

BYU kick off

2014-09-02T13:21:00.001-06:00

We are pretty excited about the kick off of BYU football at our house.

I made an attempt to make a "Y" in Seja's hair.

Treasure Chest

2013-08-27T13:48:00.001-06:00

We all went to the dentist yesterday. Seja was less than thrilled to have the Dentist look at her teeth. He was trying so hard to win her over with stickers and letting her sit on our laps and told her she could have something out of his treasure chest if he could look at her teeth. When all was said and done she was picking something out of the treasure chest and kept grabbing items, about four or five different items. We told her she could have ONE not all five. She didn't want to put any back so I took them from her put them back in the treasure box and we started to leave. Cameron gave her one more chance to pick ONE item out of the treasure box when he took her back she grabbed the treasure chest and said thats what she wanted. She would've been fine if we dumped everything out of the box and just taken the box. Needless to say she was rather upset when she couldn't have the one thing she wanted. Today I told her we would make a treasure box for her treasures.

She seems to be just as happy with this one.

Having mom home is exhausting

2013-06-12T11:06:00.001-06:00

I guess potty training is wearing Seja out. We were in the car for about 7 minutes on our way to swimming lessons and she out cold! I'll let her rest for a minute then go wear her out more.

Swimming in the Backyard

2012-06-11T18:49:00.001-06:00

Our neighbor has a big above ground pool that Seja would like to go swimming in. Infact, she went to the fence and began to reach as if to climb inorder to get into the pool. We decided to let her swim in her own pool that is not so big. She Loved It!!!

Seja's First Birthday!

2012-01-19T20:13:00.000-07:00

It is hard to believe but Seja is already a year old. We are learning a lot right along with her. Her grandparents came over for dinner and cake and ice cream. She loved the gifts that she received. She really enjoyed her cake after she realized we really were going to let her dig in.

Seja's First Christmas

2012-01-06T22:32:00.000-07:00

We had a fantastic Christmas. Amazing the difference when you have a child. I would have to say that this was one of my best Chriastmases yet. We were so fortunate to see so much of our family and to spend time with our loved ones. Although Seja didn't get the whole opening presents idea (see video to the left) she was so fun to see as we took part in all of our holiday games and festivities.

Seja slpet in until almost 8:30 which is great on Christmas morning. Cameron was about to go wake her up so we could open presents before church. She was still half asleep as we looked through what she got in her stocking.

Once she woke up more she was more eager to get the toy out of the box. In the video below you can see that she was not as eager about her Christmas dress. Though she did look pretty cute in it. It was a great Christmas!!!

Kicking off the Christmas Season

2011-12-26T21:44:00.001-07:00

Seja got to meet Santa for the first time at the Moore Christmas Party. When Santa got to the party we sang a few songs together and he read "The Night Before Christmas." Seja was very interested. She even kept her little Santa hat on as she shook the jingle bells for our singing. Looks like Cameron and Tyson were also very interested. Note their festive colored clothes :)

She did okay with Santa but it helped that he had candy too. I wasn't fast enough to get a picture but she pulled on his beard, like any curious child, to see if it was real. It was!

After Santa left we broke open a pinata. Seja didn't really want any candy but she loves her dad so she grabbed some Kit Kats for him.

Thanksgiving

2011-12-26T21:30:00.000-07:00

This year for Thanksgiving we had Grandma and Grandpa Higham over. We smoked an "oh sooo delicious" turkey. Here is the bird in the smoker.

Here is Cameron carving the bird. You will have to take my word for it, it was delicious. It was great to have family over and enjoy sharing the blessings we have been given this year.

Here is Seja eating a roll, just waiting for some of that other yummy food.

Whole Apple

2011-12-26T21:21:00.000-07:00

I set an apple down on Seja's tray to entertain her for a moment while I got something else out to start feeding her. I didn't expect that she would just start to eat the apple whole. She is getting good use of all those teeth.

Seja's First Halloween

2011-11-06T21:02:00.000-07:00

Seja is still a little young for Trick-or-Treating but we thought it would be fun to dress her up. She was an elephant. (That is her trunk on the front of her costume and tusks coming out near where her neck is.)

It took a little while but she finally was okay with the hat, which I think makes the costume. She did a little use out of it though. We did go to a business trunk-or-treat (Cameron was helping out with his office) and the ward party. She was a good sport!

Our Little Puppies

2011-11-06T20:53:00.000-07:00

Our little dog, Binx, had puppies about five weeks ago. Here are a few more recent pictures.

Seja just loves playing with the puppies and loves when we get them out to walk around. She needs a little help still but she loves to give them hugs.

Fall

2011-10-27T22:16:00.000-06:00

We went with Cameron's family to the pumkin patch. Here we are waiting for the tractor to take us out to the patch to get that perfect pumpkin.

Seja decided that if it was big enough to sit on she would take it home. Just her size! Actually weighed about as much as her.

Here she is at home with her pumkin all decorated. Much easier and cleaner than carving.

Seja likes to sport festive attire. Her new onsie from Grandma and a little bow I made to match.

We got some huge carrots from our garden this year. This was one of the biggest. I am trying to show you it is about the size of my shoe!

We were somewhat successful with watermelon this year. We got three: the first we picked too early it was very green, the second was very small about the size of Seja's head but sweet and this one was just right. Tasted great too, you'll have to just trust me on that one.

And this is our one and only pumpkin we got this year. It was kind of disappointing since pumpkins have always grown well for us in the past but... we will take it.

Precious Moments

2011-10-27T21:56:00.000-06:00

Seja usually will only sleep in her bed and occationally in her carseat. Some how Cameron got her to sleep on him. Her two options this day were homework with mom or sports with dad, guess neither one sounded better than sleep.

I set Seja down on the floor with some kix cereal. I knew that they would end up all over the floor and yet I let her do it. She did pick about half of them back up, the other half the dog came in and ate.

She got tired of standing in her bed so she sat down and then decided she really was tired. It looked pretty uncomfortable so we helped her lay flat but I'm sure she would have just stayed that way for a while.

2011-10-27T21:45:00.000-06:00

All I can say is no wonder my legs and feet hurt so bad each morning. I wore these shoes everyday to work for about two years. I day I quit was the day I threw them out. Dr. Martins last for a long time but not the most comfortable.

Swimming

2011-10-27T21:39:00.001-06:00

We took Seja swimming a couple times over the summer. She really loves playing in the water.

She liked being tossed beteween us!

But as you can see here, she loved floating in her little tube. She just sat back like she was a big girl.

Yellow Stone

2011-10-27T21:26:00.000-06:00

Here we are at a bear and wolf park. It was so cool to see these animals so close. Seja was entertained by "Sam" the bear he was over 1,000lbs.

Seja and Dad as we hiked around Yellow Stone.

Dispite all the time we spent in the car Seja still managed to smile . She was pretty good for being in the car.

Seja loved crawling around and thought that this chair was the bee's knees.

Here is Sam the bear

Couple new pics

2011-07-03T20:54:00.000-06:00

As you can see Seja is growing ... fast. I had these pictures taken just for fun by a friend who wanted to practice. Seja had some pretty good smiles. She was much happier to have her picture taken sitting rather than on her tummy but there were a few that turned out good on her tummy.

Easter

2011-05-16T15:06:00.001-06:00

Every year Cameron's family goes on a camping trip over Easter. This year we went to Redmond (near Gunnison). It was a lot of fun despite the mud and cooler weather. Seja enjoyed playing with her cousin Libby. Libby sat her doll on Seja's lap and covered her up with the blanket. Then Libby climbed on the couch and under the blanket to be warm with Seja and the doll. They are too cute!

Seja didn't seem to mind being out by the camp fire as long as she was bundled. She even shared her blanket with her cousin Toby.

Baby Blessing

2011-05-16T14:54:00.000-06:00

Seja was blessed April 10 but I am just now putting it on our blog. It was a really good day. In the morning we took a family picture since all of my brothers and sisters were able to make it and it is the last time we will all be together for a while. I think it turned out pretty good for just using our camera and a tripod.

Then we all went to church. In the hustle of everything we didn't even get a picture of just Cameron & I with Seja. It was nice to have the family over though and fun to see how much our niece and nephews have grown.

RSV

2011-03-14T15:14:00.001-06:00

Unfortunalty Seja came down with the dreaded RSV. Unfortunately, being so young and little, she needed medical help to start recovering. Unfortunately she had to spend two nights int he hospital. FORTUNATELY we do have heath insurance!!! I took her in for her two month well baby check up on Tuesday. I told the doctor I was a little concerned about some congestion in her sinuses and lungs. the doctor recommended that she be tested for RSV and the results quickly came back positive. the nurse suctioned out her nose and the doctored asked that we come back in the next day (Wednesday) since RSV peeks around days 4 and 5. Cameron came with us to the appointment since it was at 8:00am, before he needed to be to work. Long story short after a breathing treatment Seja fell asleep and her oxygen level dropped to 74. The doctor said that was too low and that Seja needed to be admitted to the hospital for observation. Since she was on oxygen she had to be transported by ambulance. Seja was doing well and so they took her off oxygen but kept her over night. Again over night her levels dropped so she got put back on oxygen. Thursday afternoon they took her off of the oxygen but needed to keep her over night again to be sure that she would be OK in a deep sleep. She did well over night and we were able to come home on Friday.

Dispite all the monitors, breathing treatments, and succtioning she was still pretty happy

A fresh coat of paint

2011-03-14T14:39:00.001-06:00

We really enjoy making home improvements and while I have been home with Seja I thought that the bathroom would be a fun but simple project. We decided to just repaint it. The ceiling really needed fresh paint. For Family Home Evening we we went to Lowe's and picked out a color and bought the supplies and I started it the next day. I got the ceiling done on Tuesday and the walls done on Wednesday. It turned out pretty good if I do so myself. (I had to quickly get it done because we only have one bathroom and so we couldn't have the toilet tank off for too long. Plus we were watching some neighbor kids Thursday-Sunday so I really wanted everything all cleaned up by then.)

Small Change

2011-02-15T11:37:00.002-07:00

Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and need a small change. So for our anniversary Cameron bought me a gift certificate to a nice salon so I could go..get a hair cut. Well I believe that if you are going to cut your hair quite a bit why not give the cut part away to help someone else. That is just what I did. I cut over ten inches off to send to "Locks of Love." I was very happy with the change, as was Cameron, since he likes short hair. It will just take a bit to get use to not so much hair.

You've been Jimmered

2011-02-11T15:07:00.000-07:00

The other night I was holding Seja and watching Sports Beat with Cameron. We had heard that there was going to be a special music video with Jon Carter, LaVell Edwards, Chad Lewis and Shawn Bradley. I didn't want to miss it so I hadn't put Seja in her bed just yet. It came on and she started laughing and smiling all while her eyes were closed. I looked it up again on YouTube to see if she would do it again but it has yet to happen. She is turning into a cute little BYU fan!

Stream of milk

2011-02-05T00:35:00.000-07:00

Today was a fun day with Seja. I can tell that she is growing because I can't wrap her as well in a receiving blanket because she is getting longer and my arms get tired faster it seems if I don't have them propped on a pillow as she eats. Today as I was nursing, I looked down at Seja and smiled. She locked eyes and smiled back. It was a big smile! However, she forgot to swallow first and out of the corner of her mouth came a stream of milk, down her chin, down her neck, and onto my arm. I couldn't help but laugh. I wish I could have captured it on video or gotten a picture but... well... that is a bit personal.
