Thank You!


I would like to thank my three sons, Kyle, Tanner and Logan, and my daughter-in-law Michelle for doing my job for me last Wednesday. (Alana had a doctor's appointment) They took Jensen in to the MTC in place of his dad and I. This was a huge relief for me. I know it wasn't easy for them as they are very close to him and I knew it would be very emotional. But they stepped up to the plate and finished for me. I am so thankful that my children love each other. I never worry about any of them because they always have their flesh and blood close by to watch out for them. They actually enjoy each other's company and gravitate toward each other. This is a joy to behold. The Mighty Moores will always have each other's backs and for that I am eternally grateful.

Grandmas Rock!

Can I just tell you how excited I am to be a grandma? I am just aching to hold my little Ava in my arms. I can't imagine seeing a tiny being that my little boy made. Hurry Alana! Granny Dyanny is dying here!

Daughters-in-law are the Greatest!



I just have to say that my daughters-in-law are the greatest. I was very nervous about getting more girls in our family since I'm not very good with girls but I am so happy with the two I got.




Alana is a soft, gentle beauty who is sweet and talented and makes my son, Tanner, very happy which, of course, makes me ecstatic. She is a fantastic decorator and has great taste in bracelets:) She is also on the verge of giving birth to my first grandchild so she is the "star" of the moment.




Michelle is a darling little spitfire who has a great sense of humor (she has to to be married to Logan) and who fits into our family like she's always been there. Logan has never loved a girl in his whole life and he adores Michelle so I figure she must be someone reallyyyy special.




My beautiful daughter, Savannah, is soooo glad these girls married our boys. She loves them as much as I do. She loves them like sisters even though she has no idea what that feels like. And they are sooo easy to love.




Three cheers for my beautiful girls!

Elder Moore


About Us

I guess I should introduce the Moores of 4Ever Moore. I am Dyanna. I am a wife and mom to 7 kids: 6 boys and a girl. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Pat. He owns a lake management company here in San Marcos, CA. We have been married for 28 years but we have been in love for 33 years. We got married on the 5 year anniversary of our first date. He served a mission in Munich, Germany. We went to high school together in Santa Rosa, CA where my dad was the principal. Our oldest son, Brandon, has just finished getting his masters' degree and teaching credential and is looking for a teaching job. Kyle is a senior at BYU majoring in exercise science. Tanner is married to Alana (Salisbury) from Valley Center and they are expecting our first grandchild, Ava, in a week. Tanner is attending BYU. Logan, Tanner's twin brother, is married to Michelle (Nielsen) from Escondido and he is attending BYU. Jensen is in the MTC getting ready to serve his mission in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Hunter is a sophomore in high school. Our only daughter, Savannah, is a 7th grader. I could go on for days about each member of my family but I don't want to overload anyone right out of the gate so I will go slow and just talk about them occasionally as the days go by.

One More Down

Yesterday my fifth son, Jensen, entered the Mission Training Center in Provo, UT to prepare to serve a two year mission in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Lots of emotions. Pride, sadness, pride, fear, pride and more pride. This is such a hard thing for young men to do and I am so proud of him for doing it. I am also very proud of my four older sons for showing him the way to do it right. Brandon served in Houston, Texas, Kyle served in the Cape Verde Islands (Portuguese) Tanner and Logan served in Brazil (Portuguese). They were all excellent missionaries and were great examples for Jensen to follow. It's very tough being away from your child for two years but what they learn from being out there and serving is worth every tear. Battle on, my sweet boy, battle on!
