New Do

I have been toying with the idea of a major hair change for awhile. A couple of weeks ago we found our box of old photos and look through the pictures really gave me the push I needed for a change. My hair for the majority of my adult life had been the same so I took the plunge to shake things up alittle.

If you remember me posting a good ways back about losing 50 pounds I haven't given up the fight and I am still working toward my 120 loss goal. To date I have lost about 80 pounds so far. I have become so much stronger and overall healthier which is the most important thing to me. It's hard for me to see the change because it's been a slow work in progress but looking at old snapshots was very eye opening. I am hoping to handle the holiday season in moderation. I did just fine with Halloween I allowed myself a few pieces of chocolate and that was good enough for me. I hope I can do as well with the famous Moon family Thanksgiving dressing (YUM!). That stuff is the highlight of the day. It's all trial and error and a learning process. But it does feel great to be able to run, something I could never imagine I would do for several miles . I am not perfect on my eating or an expert in exercise by any means I just finally see the importance of my health. I have just been using sensible eating and simple exercise.

Anyways thanks for the encouragement and compliments it does mean alot. The biggest reward for me will be the health benefits for the years to come.

Halloween 2009

Whew, I pulled off another year. The kids had a blast, they got enough candy to make them sick and above all else they looked adorable!
Macy was a Fairy, Molly a Bumble bee, Parker a scary man, Collin a Knight, and Hudson lil' Chinese boy also dubbed Kung Pow Chicken.

Das Visits

The kids like it when Das (Brian's Dad) pops by for a visit. Molly is the first one to grab his cellphone to play with, Hudson took his flashlight and put it right in his mouth and Collin likes to try out his reading glasses.

I promise to post some pictures of the other kids soon it just so happens the littlest Moon's make most the pictures lately.

Lil Pumpkins

Sir Collin was a big hit at his Preschool dress up Halloween party. Doesn't he look so handsome? He just needs a white horse so he can start the search for his princess. But for now he's my Knight in Shining Armour!




Yesterday I snapped a few pictures of Hudson before heading off to Collin's class party. He has been a major crabby pants lately and I figured out why, he is cutting his 1 year molars ,ouch! Since they are way in the back I didn't see them right off and I have learned my lesson putting my finger in his mouth! Here he is at 15.5 months old. I still am amazed that Macy was born when Logan was 15 months old. Hudson is still our baby and we thought Logan was a big boy back then.

Cuteness

Collin went with his class to the Pumpkin Patch last week. He had a ball even though this place is just a camp where they place pumpkins on the ground and do some fallish activities with the kids he thinks it's great. Hudson was making us laugh in Parker's halloween mask and he likes trying to wear Molly's doll glasses, Silly boy!

Bye Bye Braces

Logan is done with braces and the results are FANTASTIC! He is thrilled with them too. As I have always said my Son is going to be someone important someday and he needs nice teeth to go along with his sharp wit. I just want to always make him smile to I can enjoy seeing those pretty pearly whites.
