Gobble till you Wobble!

And that is exactly what we did! We had a fun weekend with the family in town. There were 16 of us for the big dinner but really it was more of a weekend marathon of eating! Andy made two delicious turkeys on the Egg! Our turkey was complimented with lots of casseroles, dressing, blessing, and pecan & chocolate pies! The cousins (Caden, Alli, & Maddie) played together in the tents and the big cousins played xbox. Track & Field was by far the best spectator sport! Special thanks to our dear friends who let us use their "bed & breakfast" for our out of town family! And yes we (Susan, Luke & myself) did make it out on Black Friday...3:30am...! We didn't buy too many deals but we had fun...it's tradition!

Sip N See

We hosted a Sip N See for Baby Luke in early November. It was a great time for our friends to come and meet him & spend a little time with Susan & Maddie.

Magic in Wonderland!

It was that time of year again! My how October flew by... it was Halloween before we even blinked! We had our traditional hotdogs & smores!
Alice in Wonderland & the white rabbit!
Our magician & his lovely assistant!

Our trip to DC

Our first night in town we stopped by to see our favorite college student!

The funeral arrangements had been made for Arlington and we decided to go up a day early to tour DC. This was the first time in the Capital for Andy, myself & the kids! We made it to several museums, saw almost all the monuments & even made time to visit 3 cupcake shops!

Pumpkins Everywhere

After the kids final soccer game of the season, Amy & Anna came to town and we all went to the pumpkin patch! Alli loved the corn room, Anna the hay & Caden was a fan of the big slide!

The Fair!

For Andy's birthday we took the kids to the fair to see what we could see & eat what we could eat! Of course we had the favorites... Al's fries, the good fudge, a giant turkey leg, fried cheese & roasted corn but this year their was something new! Caden tried the Elvis... it was a hit... a fried peanut butter & banana sandwich! YaYa had fun riding the flying bobs with Alli too!

Rest In Peace...our favorite ARMY Man!

On September 18, 2010 our cousin Paul was killed in Afghanistan. The weeks and months following this tragic news were filled with tears, and sadness.

But we rejoice in the birth of Susan & Paul's son... Luke!

Please continue to lift up Susan & the rest of his family in your prayers.

Mountian Memories

Spending time with Andy's parents is something we don't get to do that often but when we do we all have such a great time. Alli & Gran are the puzzle masters and Caden & Papa are always thinking out their next adventure. We were able to briefly meet up with them on our trip to the mountians back in September. Before they got their we took the kids on their first White Water Rafting trip! It was so much fun & the water was great! We also had a perfect day biking through Cade's Cove. Yes the whole family made the 11 mile loop! We saw wild turkey, deer, and even a few black bears! The kids had a blast playing on the rocks in the river too!

On our way home we stopped at Ridgecrest for an ice cream treat and a trip down memory lane for the Moore crew. Andy grew up spending at least a week in Ridgecrest with his parents & Grandparents.
