Fall and Winter 2012

The Fall slowed down somewhat. And then that changed.

 

Grapefest is a wonderful event in the fall. It features homemade wines from Texas. The kids were not into it.

Batman

 

We found a really big tractor. On our way out.

 

Continuing on our year of us Tony and I bought OU season tickets. It was amazing. It was hard to get it all organized but thanks to our wonderful family we got some us time and we were able to cheer on our Sooners.

 

 

 

Halloween 2012.

Preston chose his own costume. He wanted to be a Fireman. I asked why and he said "because Firemen are helpers and we all love them". I applaud my little man.

 

 

Greyson was different. He didn't care at all. So I got to choose one more time. Probably the last costume I will ever get to choose. And so....

 

 

Charlie Brown.

Made by Mommy. With lots of love and a few tears.

 

Love my boys

 

Winter brought change. Lots of Change. We are still settling in to all this change.

 

First he turned 5.

 

 

Preston Thomas Moore, age 5.

 

We had a great party at Bounce U and he loved it. His friends came and showered him with attention. His favorite thing.  

 

The Avengers. He chose Avengers. He does not like sweets, especially chocolate. He asked me to please get a 1/2 vanilla 1/2 chocolate cake because he knew his friends would want chocolate. So sweet.

 

But disaster struck that evening. My poor 5 year old got a fever and spent his birthday the next day at the doctor's office and in bed.

 

My heart broke for him.

 

He told me it would be okay. He is 5. He will take care of Mommy.

 

So in true Moore fashion, we piled it all on. Not only did we have a birthday party, we bought a home and sold a home.

 

Our new home

 

We love it. It was not something we planned but we followed our gut and it just all happened. We typically do things that way.

 

Then Christmas. Christmas is an amazing time. A lonely time for me so I do my best to keep busy. I take the kids to see Santa, Preston got to ice skate for the first time, we also went to Main Street in our new town and enjoyed the lights. It was a fun time and a great way to end this year.

2012 may have been a year that we said we would be selfish and focus on us. And we did. But we also were selfish with our family and friends. We loved everyone in our lives a little harder and with any luck 2013 will be the same.
