How the "Cowboys" hunt

Every year Mathew goes Elk Hunting up on the property of good friends. For the first time they used the horses instead of snowmobiles. He had a great time & enjoyed getting back up onto a horse after a few too many years...he was a little sore ;) He looks pretty good as a "Cowboy", don't ya think? Of course now the kids want to go riding...they are going to HAVE to wait until it gets warm though!

Isabella! She wants to go into the Air Force and fly planes. Good thing she does well in school and the Air Force Academy is just in Colorado...close to home :) She also wants to be a Mom and do photography on the side. We hope she has time for all of that! She certainly will be the cutest pilot out there!

80's Movies Mix

With this whole Facebook thing and connecting with friends from high school I have been on a HUGE 80's kick. It's been fun to reminisce, listen to old songs, see old photos, etc. Some of my favorite movies are from the 80's so I decided to do an 80's music Mix for this week. WARNING: there will be more of these play lists as I like to keep the play lists shorter for our blog. There were just TOO many movies to NOT include them all...plus I am researching more songs for them ;)
Here's the challenge...can you name all of the movies these songs are from? Some are obvious, some, not so much!
So sit back, remember & enjoy the music...

Our only Moreno with blue eyes...so far...is Gabe! Blond hair & blue eyes...yes he IS ours! Gabe is such a fun kid with a crazy personality. He is full of life, jokes, a smile, and most of all love. As a little kid he LOVED to make others laugh. He would do things repeatedly if someone laughed. He is one of the most friendly kids there is & loves to hang out with his friends. He makes up fun games & helps with the little kids. After being the youngest child for 7 years he was SO excited to be a big brother. He was especially excited when we had Isaac because he loves having a little brother...he loves Laney too. We think HE could be his own reality show sometimes! He likes school & does especially well in science. He is a musician and has composed a few songs for certain siblings on the piano...with out lessons! When he performed one of his compositions in a talent show a neighbor & friend asked how long he had been taking lessons to be so good at such a young age (he was 8 & she teaches piano). She was amazed that he had not had a single lesson in his life. He also plays the drums & can pick up a beat faster than others can count it out. One time up the canyon around a camp fire he picked up the djembe drum after Mathew had finished with it and started playing. Mathew thought "Who is playing that? They are good!" and looked to see who it was. He was proud to see that it was "his boy". We love Gabe to death & we are happy to have our little blond haired blue eyed "Bubba" in our family.

Isaac! That's right the youngest Moreno had perfect rhythm at the youngest age. Not sure why. Good genes? Possible. Constant percussion in the house? Possible. The "Drum room" next to his room? Possible & yes we have a room designated just for drums! Falling asleep in his Daddy's arms while Daddy plays the drums? Possible. Combination of the four? We're guessing YES! Regardless, when we noticed at 9 months old that he played the pots and pans with perfect rhythm we knew we had another one on our hands. Now that he is strong enough to hold drum sticks he joins in with the rest of them! Regardless we love him & his perfect rhythm!

Harry Connick Jr.

We love to listen to Harry Connick Jr. in our house. He plays the clssics as well as his own compositions. It's piano, it's big band, it's funky even. He hit it big with the "When Harry Met Sally" soundtrack & has been running with it ever since. The Recipe for Love is one of our favorites & Mathew always has it ready in the CD player when he picks me up from a trip @ the airport. You could call it one of "our songs"...we have a few of those after 18 years together! We chose a lot of his earlier work for this week and maybe one day we'll include newer work. Sit back, relax or grab someone to dance and enjoy the music...

Postal Service

So it's a new year, and time for some new music. We chose Postal Service & it is diffrent from what we usually post. For those of you who have no clue who they are it's the lead singer from Death Cab for Cutie & it's about as techno as we get around our house. They have a great rendition of "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins as well as other fun music. Really it is GREAT driving music as it just flows out of the speakers with it's beat & get you to where you need to be before you even know it! Enjoy the music...
