Halloween Fun

We had a wonderful time at the Henke's for Halloween. The party was complete with all kinds of festive goodies and a pumpkin carving contest.
James went as a paintball referee and I as a paintball player
James took the pumpkin carving contest a little to seriously; this was his creation
"HIPPIE CHIC"...Chloe enjoyed "biscuit begging" all day long at work with James

Fair Daze

We enjoyed all the time spent with Jacob and Emma this month! We enjoyed our weekend of "parenting" and our day at the fair with the kiddos and friends from church.

Practice makes perfect right?!

We enjoyed spending this past weekend with our nephew and niece, Jacob and Emma. We had a weekend full of activities. Here is Emma at the Ferris Pioneer Days, she just slid down a really big slide.

Jacob and our newest critter,9 wk old Dottie. And yes his ear is still intact! :)

Jacob and Emma are such wonderful kids, we decided why not add 3 more to the group. James defintely had his work cut out pulling 5 kids around in the wagon.

Here is our "spooktacular" dessert we all helped make. Such a fun night with all the kiddos. :)

East Texas Visitation

Yes, that is our 4 yr old nephew, Jacob & his sister Emma, driving the 4 wheeler with James in tow! We enjoyed our Sunday afternoon at First Monday in Canton and then on to Edgewood for some family fun.

Dam Mowing...huh?

For those of you wondering what we mean when we say we are "working on a dam"... Many trees gone and many passes later, the back slope is almost done.
Here is James going down the back slope
My turn now..fun, fun!

We have made a few passes on the back side in this picture

Hill Country Fun

Before heading home we had lunch on the Riverwalk and made a stop by the Alamo.
We enjoyed playing in the lazy river and pool at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort and Spa. Wonderful place highly recommend it!

Here we are @ Schlitterbahn...you will come to discover we love to take self-portraits!





We had so much fun with Josh, Courtney, & Adian @ Schlitterbahn! Adian was such a trooper..he rode all the rides we did!

Just a pic.

Here we are on vacation at a swamp in South Carolina. Doesn't sound all that romantic but was really neat and we had alot of fun!

Work, Work, and MOIR Work

Life at the Moir's, is well, busy as usual. A busy summer keeping up with our careers. James tries to keep all cars running, while Serena tries to keep all the houses clean. Together we try to keep the dams in Ellis County mowed as well as tending to all our critters on our hobby farm. We are both looking forward to a weekend away with friends in San Antonio.
