LOTS to be thankful for!!!!

Thanksgiving should be everyday!!!

We probably would be better off spending each day being
thankful for all the blessings in our lives! I KNOW I have been
far more fortunate than I deserve and remain overwhelmed at
the wonderful people that are in my life....

Obie came home for Thanksgiving!

Linda had turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, broccoli
casserole, cranberry sauce and the list goes on - just an
INCREDIBLE feast and an awesome afternoon! Courtney and
Doug came over to enjoy the day, pig out and watch some
football - it just doesn't get any better!

Charlie, Brook and Ava went to Louisville to spent the holiday
with the fabulous Cliftons! Brook's parents have been another
addition to the list to be thankful for!

Ty Pics!

Friday we continued the Thanksgiving treats! We went with Courtney
and Doug for a 4D ultrasound to see Ty - our grandson that will making
his appearance in late January!!! It was truly amazing as we watched
Ty go through his exercises on the monitor in front of us! Doug's
children, Riley and Gage came along and had their camera and cell
phones popping, taking pictures of their little brother to be!

Ty Marley on the way!!!

Sunday, November 9 was a celebration for Doug and Courtney and the
coming BIG event! Ty Marley Fox will be the new addition to the Moores
gang in January! Courtney and Doug's friends threw them an AWESOME
party as we all celebrated their joy!
Linda and I will be grandparents again!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Buddy Wayne!

Linda is in Arkansas this morning to be with her family as they
prepare to bury her brother Wayne. He died Sunday morning
after complications from a heart surgery - the details are a
blur and rather insignificant, the bottom line is that this world
has lost 1 INCREDIBLE human...
I loved Wayne!
I often told people that he was my hero - that he had mastered
"happy"!!! He fiercely loved his family and anything to do with a
motor and tires! My last memories of Wayne come from a trip
where we hauled the Harley to Arkansas and Wayne was like a
kid as we unloaded the bike and prepared to ride the mountains!
I can still see him in front of us on his GoldWing - I sensed that
he was as much a part of the road as the center line - he rode
with the ease that only comes with riding a motorcycle for over
40 years.
We rode on...
He smiled...
He was happy!!!!

I'm good to go with that memory - I love you Wayne - I'll miss
you and your sister has a HUGE hole in her heart - that will be
filled with memories of your smile.....

Ride on, my friend.....

Wanda - thank you for sharing your awesome dude with us!

Marissa!

Marissa and Pete were married on Saurday, October 18 in
Tampa! Another incredible young couple! Once again, it
was an honor to share in this special day!

I have been "slack" on keeping up my blog and I will make
every effort to get in 3 - 4 posts a week. I've been working
too much and not just shooting for fun! BACK with the fun!

Green Beret

What a proud time!!!
Last week we flew to North Carolina to see Charlie graduate from
the Green Beret program! It is beyond my ability with words to
express the incredible pride I felt as I watched my son take his
place among the very finest soldiers in the world! He has made
some life long friends going through the regiment that faced
these guys over the last year - I can tell you that each 1 of them
are guys that you would be proud to have respresenting our
country! Charlie, Brook and Ava will be moving to their new
home in Clarksville, Tennessee this week.
It was truly a trip I will never forget!

Travis & Amber

Friday night saw a beautiful couple start their new life together!
It was an extreme pleasure to share in the love and happiness
of Travis and Amber's special day! I was working with the awesome
Jerry McGaghey and his wife Mandi!

I love my new food! And Mommy and Daddy!

HELP!!!

Let Freedom Ring!

Guess who came for a visit!!!!!

I have been consumed with getting up my new website - here
and have not been posting as I would like - AND we had 2
beautiful visitors last week - Brook and Ava!!! Ava is growing
so fast and so gorgeous! She has really captured our hearts...
We are all like putty around her! Courtney came every night
and got some "mothering" practice in by feeding Ava and
helping with her baths! The week FLEW by and when it came
time to take them back to the airport we felt like were having
our baby stole from us! And Brook is a truly incredible mother!
