Christmas 2009!

Merry Christmas 2009! This year was an eventful one for the Moore Family. We went up to Granbury to spend Christmas with Charles' family. We went up on Dec. 23 and when we got there I started throwing up. I didn't stop for 7 hours. We ended up going to the ER at about 10:30 that night and I got 2 bags of saline and some meds to help me stop throwing up. The next day I felt much better. Then on Christmas Eve, we woke up and it was snowing! We went to Dallas to Mark and Beth's house. The snow didn't start sticking until around 3 or so. We left Mark and Beth's house to start our journey home. When we got closer to home, the roads became very slick and we started sliding around. I was so scared! Colton was oblivious and was just having a great time. We couldn't get through the road to go to the house so we tried a back way and ended up pulling over at a Waffle House to wait for John to come and get us with his bigger 4 wheel drive truck. Then John got stuck behind an accident so he went a different way and was finally able to come get us. Then we were heading home! We finally got home around 9:45. We woke up on Christmas morning and it was a White Christmas! Colton opened all his gifts and we started playing with them. Charles and John went to pick up the truck that we left in Weatherford the night before and when they got home we went to Southlake to Kellie and David's house. Everyone was there, all the brothers, grandmas, aunts, cousins, etc. We had a nice Christmas. We headed home and, thankfully, the trip home was uneventful! We played with Colton and his toys all night and then headed home the next morning. Thank you Meme and Pappy for a Christmas we won't soon forget! :-) Here are some pics of our adventure. The video is of Christmas morning is kind of long but I wanted to post it in case Colton wants to see it when he gets older.

San Antonio!

This weekend we took a little trip to San Antonio to watch the TX High School Football State Championship Game. Colton rode public transportation for the first time and liked it! We rode the trolley and the bus. Katy played Abilene and Abilene won! We were only there for less than 24 hours but we had fun anyway.

Santa!

Last night Colton went to see Santa. He was very good and just hopped up on his lap and told him he wanted Shake and Go Cars for Christmas. While I was paying for the photos, he asked me "Where are my shake and go cars." I think he was expecting Santa to give it to him right then and there!
Here is the pic.

Happy Birthday Jesus Party!

Here are some pictures from Colton's Happy Birthday Jesus party at school. How cute is this?

Christmas Program 2009

Well folks, the Christmas Program has come and gone. The two year olds sang 2 songs for us. Colton was a very good boy and didn't cry and stood there on stage. He didn't sing though. He had his hand in his mouth the whole time. It was cute though. Here is the video, with commentary from Charles and myself. There are also a few pictures. Colton is standing next to his little girlfriend, Lila.

Baby Update

I went to the Dr. yesterday for my monthly check up. Everything is fine with the baby. I am 28 weeks and had to take my glucose test. I also got the Swine Flu vaccine. I start going every two weeks now so that means its getting closer! Colton is very excited about Christmastime. We went to look at lights in Dickinson yesterday and he had a blast. I didn't get very good pictures though but here is one. His school Christmas program is today and I will definitely record that one. They are going to sing for us! I am so excited.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

On Friday, it snowed in Houston! Colton was very excited about it and I left work early so I could play with him. He got all bundled up and went to catch snowflakes on his tongue. It snowed pretty hard but unfortunately it didn't stick very much and it had rained earlier in the morning so everything was wet and yucky. Here is a pic of him catching snowflakes on his tongue.

Season comes to an end. :-(

Well, Saturday the Chargers lost to a good Katy team. We stayed with them the whole first half and it was 21 - 21 at halftime, but we just couldn't stay with it and ended up losing 38 - 21. It was a wonderful season and we sure are going to miss football (especially Colton) but we can't wait until next year! Soccer starts today for Charles so the poor guy doesn't get a break. Luckily soccer is not nearly as time consuming as Football and he usually will have weekends off.

We celebrated our 6 year anniversary yesterday. It's amazing how many things can change in 6 years. We have a crazy, rambunctious 2 year old and a new baby on the way now. It's crazy to think of!

Christmas Pics

Here are some pics of our finished Christmas tree and mantle. I love Christmas time!

Very Cool! Go Chargers!

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas!

We have been busy decorating the inside of the house for Christmas. The outside will have to wait until after football! We had to go out and purchase a new tree this year. We just had a 6' tree last year and with the 12' ceilings we have now, that tree just wouldn't look right. We got a great deal on a 9' tree and it fits perfectly! I took a picture of the tree up but not decorated and will take a decorated picture and put it up. Everything is up now! It's nice to have a mantle to hang our stockings on this year. Colton has been enjoying helping decorating. He has quite the vision! Here are the latest pics from the last couple of days of decorating!
