Time in Texas....

We took our annual roadtrip out to TX to visit my sister and her family last week. It is a long, long drive but well worth it once we get there! Pierce and Chapman had lots of fun playing together this trip!!

They were very entertained by each others games...

Little Sullivan really could not be any sweeter, he's such a little snuggle bug!

Sweet Chapman always gives Pierce something when he sees him.  This time it was his old Thomas backpack, Pierce LOVED it and insisted on taking it to church!

Pierce's favorite thing at their house was "that jumpin thing outside", (the trampoline).  They spent a lot of time playing on it!

Our next to last night we cooked out, built a fire, and made smores!  The boys entertained us by dancing around and kept screaming, "he havin' a party!".  Ha ha!!

The weather was awesome, it got up to the 80's while we were there. We loved it, especially since there was snow on the ground here when we left. We miss you and can't wait to see you again soon!!!

Bring on the Cake!

It was a birthday party filled weekend! Pierce had 5 friends celebrating and 3 parties. First stop, Grant and Grace's fun Dr. Suess themed 2nd Birthday party!

Aren't these the cutest cakes?  Their talented Nana did such a great job on them!

For some reason, Pierce decided this would be the best way to each his cupcake. I promise, we do try to teach manners!

Next stop, Maury and Sarah Elizabeth's gymnastics party! 

Waiting with Lily for their turn...

Pierce's buddy Carter was sharing his chocolate ice cream with him since he was sad he got vanilla instead. Sweet Carter!

We didn't make it to help sweet Ella Grace celebrate her first, but we hope she had a great day!

2K PJ Day!

Last week, the letter of the week in 2K was "P". To celebrate, on Friday they had PJ Day. Pierce loved getting to wear pj's to school and had fun reporting back what all of his friends wore. I think he was a little sad that some of his fun character pj's were dirty, so he had to settle for this...

And this is what I get when I say, "smile for me". Silly boy!

Under the Big Top!

Yesterday, I had a date with my two favorite guys to the circus and dinner! Piere's loved the animals and espeically the elephants. He wanted to stand up and dance around instead of sitting in his seat!

Ready for the show to start!

Pierce would say, "Whoa, dat was funny!" and "Mommy, I wuv the circus!". If you ask him his favorite part he will tell you when the elephants were sleeping (laying on the floor) and standing on the tables (performance stools)!

"Charwie...he's my fwend"

Pierce has rekindled his relationship with Charlie. A few months ago, instead of taking a nap he decided to pull all of the stuffing out of him and I found it in a mound on his floor. So, the other night Pierce helped me put Charlie back together and I sewed him up.

Charlie now eats, sleeps, and watches tv with him. He has even been on a few trips in the car and ridden as an extra passenger in the cart at the store.  Pierce even insisted that Charlie have his own plate for breakfast!

Buurrrr...Baby It's Cold Outside!

Well, we survived the winter storm that was predicted for last night. And, we are even more excited that the power and cable didn't go out...especially since Auburn is playing in the National Championship tonight. But no worries, of course M had a backup plan to watch the game!

We didn't have a lot of fun snow to play in today, but there was plenty of ice. Pierce thought it was fun to slide and walk around in it!

We call this our doorstep death trap!

Something must have come over our child recently, he has been eating several things that he usually refuses...and eating larger portions.  He must be going through a growing spurt!  Even asked for ice cream after dinner the other night!!

New Year.... New & Old Entertainment!

So far, our New Year has brought plenty of new and old ways to entertain! We had a family game night one night this week for the first time and tried a board game that we have had for a little while. Pierce really got into it, we will have to do it again soon! I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the rules to run around the room as much as he did during our board game!

He is also a big helper! While working on a project around the house, Pierce had fun with some of daddy's tools and then got some of his new ones to help do some work!

The most exciting form of entertainment was playing in the leaves in the backyard! 

Happy 2011!
