Christmas with the Moore's

Yes, that is the Moore family!!!  Jayne and Jerry wanted a silly family picture.  They bought wigs at Halloween and we all had a good laugh :)

Opening presents was so much fun this year.  All of the kids were so excited!  It didn't take long to get through the 8 presents. 

 

 

Christmas with the Hanson's

Quin and Lindsey hosted Christmas this year in Hamilton.  The kids were so excited to open their presents.  They played and waited patiently until we were ready to open!  It was so fun to watch their faces as they opened their gifts.  The ribbon mom used to tie Owen and Piper's gifts together ended up being the "toy" of the day.  We would tie them up and they tried to get out.  Too fun!!!  Owen and Piper were such big helpers for opening all of Sawyer's gifts.  It was so nice to spend the afternoon with each other. 

 

 

 

Christmas Parade

Saturday was the Christmas parade in Grandview.  Owen's school had a float they could ride on.  He was so excited.  The teachers gave them a costume to wear and a bag of candy to throw!  The kids sat on hay bales and threw candy the whole route.  I sat on the floor of the trailer the whole ride!  Woo hoo.  After the parade, the kids sang a couple of Christmas songs.  It was on to the line to talk to Santa.  It took a lot to get Owen and Graham  to just stand by him!  Owen did tell him what he wanted for Christmas...2 ponies and a fire truck.  Good luck to Santa!!!   

 

 

 

Give Thanks. Walk.

The St. Jude walk was last Saturday.  It was awesome!  This was our second year and it turned out amazing.  There were so many people and we raised over our goal for St. Jude!  Bransom had several families who came to walk.  I was so excited to have them there. 

 

Happy Birthday Owen

Bowling was a blast!  The kids would get so excited waiting as their ball rolled down the lane.  Owen was so excited to have his friends there with him.  After bowling, it was pizza, cake, and presents.  Thank you to all of our friends for joining us to help celebrate Owen's 5th birthday!

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a BOY!

Thursday was a very special day. It was Owen's 5th birthday and we got to find out what we are having. Owen got to take cupcakes to his school and the kids all sang to him. He didn't want to talk about that because he got embarrassed! I cannot believe it has been 5 years since he was born. He was such a cute baby.

 

Owen and Jeremy met me at the Dr. office for my 3:40 appt.  Thank goodness Ryan and Blair were there as well waiting for Brittni's appt.  We all waited and waited and waited to be called.  Finally at about 4:45 we were called to the sono room.   Joe, the technician, asked Owen how old he was.  Owen said 4 but we quickly reminded him that it was his birthday and he was 5!  Joe said he would give him the coolest birthday present by letting him be the first to know and then to tell us.  So after all the measurements were taken, Joe called Owen over and whispered in his ear.  Owen went back to Jeremy and whispered in his ear.  Then (I am the third one now) he said "it's a brother."  This was so special and something Owen will remember forever!

Now we have to think of names!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trick or Treat

We tried out the Victory Church Fall Festival here in Burleson.  It was awesome!  There were so many things to do AND lots of people.  Owen and Graham hit the bounce houses first (there were about 15).  Then we tried a few games and got some candy.  The pony ride (Emma's favorite) was a hit as well as the petting zoo.  Owen kept chasing the rabbits to try and pet them.  He got close enough to touch a couple of times.  We ended the night with a train ride. 

 

 

 

 

The last game

Our last game was not our best but it was fun.  All of they boys were there so we were able to get a team picture after the game.  Graham got hurt this game while playing catcher.  He tried to catch a throw home and it hit him right in the thigh.  Owen was so concerned with him being hurt.  He did tough it out after a dug out break and come back to play.  We had a great season but are ready for a break!!! 

 

Out at 1st!

Home Run!

Really worried about Graham.

 Graham to Owen for the out.

Thanks coaches for a great season!  Way to go Dodgers.

Dodgers vs Mets (game 2)





We had our first team injury and it was Owen.  He was playing 1st and either lost the ball in the sun or just didn't get his glove up because the ball hit him right in the lip (it was a throw from the pitcher, not a hit thank goodness).  Tears came immediately!  He had to come into the dugout for a few minutes to get it together.  He did go back out that inning and finish in the outfield.  It didn't swell too much but there are blood beads on his lip and a red spot on his gums.  OUCH!  Everything was fine after batting!  Only 2 more games left :(

 

 



 

BIG hit to left field.



 Right off of the mouth.

 



This time in the glove.

 

Good throw to Kane at first.

Dodgers vs Yankees (game 2)

Jay was out of town for this game so Jeremy took over head coaching duties.  We looked a little rusty but ended up playing ok.  Owen got to play catcher for the 1st time.  I'm not sure he could see most of the time, the mask was too big!
