Bed Buddy

 

Pierce misses his daddy anytime he has to go out of town.  It doesn't happen very often, but he was gone for a conference a few weeks ago.  His favorite thing to do while he is gone is to sleep with mommy.  So, I had a sweet little bed buddy to snuggle up with for a few nights.  I love that you can still see his eye black from his game earlier in the day!

"Go Pierce!!!"

Gigi and Poppa were in town a few weeks ago and were able to come to a game.  Pierce had no idea that they were coming and got so excited when he saw them!  He would turn around and look at them both to make sure they saw him, especially while at bat.  I think they had fun watching them too, some of the kids are pretty entertaining!  Pierce loved all of the extra cheering for him!!!

 Daddy was out of town for a conference so I had to stay close some while he was catching in the outfield (sometimes he doesn't pay attention).  He told me that girls were not allowed on the field!

Pierce is learning so much about baseball, thanks to Coach Andy!  He has been a great coach for our first season!

Donut Joe's

We have a new, local donut spot...Donut Joe's!  It's probably too close to us and will tempt us more than we need.  We tried it out for the first time a few weeks ago and left with lots of yummy goodness and a balloon!  We will definitely be back soon!

Hudson's Superhero Party

Our buddy, Hudson, had a Superhero party at the park several weeks ago to celebrate turning 4!  Pierce still loves superhero stuff and was excited to dress up.  It was a beautiful day after school for the party but a little hot so he opted for this attire rather than the full superman, insulate suit we had!

 We had a fun afternoon playing superhero games, eating lots of goodies, playing with special friends, and helping the birthday boy celebrate!  Too bad I didn't get a picture of him.  Thanks for letting us help you celebrate, Hudson!

Another Lunch Date

 

So far, I've only been able to make it to school to eat lunch with Pierce about once a month due to my work schedule.  This time he picked Paige to eat with us at the visitors table!  He gets picked a lot to eat with other friends when they have visitors too.  I can't wait until our next lunch date!

Fire Prevention

 

As part of fire prevention and awareness the Hoover Fire Dept made a stop at school.  Pierce came home with these goodies, got to get on the smoke truck, and learned a lot about fires.  He came home asking about our smoke alarm and showing us what to do if we had a fire in our house.  A valuable lesson but one I hope we never have to put into action!

Bluff Part Art Show

Early October means it's time for the annual BP Art Show! Pierce and I love going and this year was special since it was the 50th annual art show. A morning filled with painting, music, yummy treats, awesome art, riding the bus, and seeing lots of familiar faces.  It's always fun for both of us and we look forward to it every year!

He loves that I can drop him off in the kid area for lots of fun activities and painting.  I love that I can drop him off for an hour and walk around by myself to look at all of the exhibits! 

For several days after the show, my little artist really got into painting and said he was getting ready for next year.  He wants to set up his own booth and is hoping he will make lots of money off of his artwork!
