Nice series on yours Lori. There appears to be a few of these or very similar on the North American Bug Guide awaiting identification, Forgot to keep the links though

Just spotted this very typical "snout" moth. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/474376002 Not that it helps you with yours, but it's a good example of where snout moths got the name.
