Weagle, Weagle...

This year we got to experience AU Homecoming a little differently! Pierce was excited to head off to school that morning in his "Auburn Fast" shirt and loves that they do Auburn cheers in P.E.

We headed downtown that evening for the parade in town.  I'm not sure he's ever been to very many parades, sadly they didn't throw much candy...but we did enjoy the fraternity/sorority floats.  And let's be honest, college students are always entertaining!


We were all excited to see the Flowers family and these boys were super pumped that they were dressed alike!
These "little cousins" are getting too big too fast.  They love gamedays though because they get to see each other and play!
Another big surprise was that Cindy came to visit!  I haven't seen her all year long, we've never gone that long without seeing each other.  Pierce was really sad the boys weren't with her and we were too!!

All Pro Dads

Pierce's school participates in All Pro Dads, which is a program focusing on dads and their children.  Once a month, they meet before school starts to have a quick breakfast and a short program.  The goal is for each child to feel the love of a father and to encourage those relationships.  This program was started by a professional athlete and is used all over the U.S.  I think both look forward to these mornings together!

Cloverbuds

Cloverbuds kicked off at school in September.  It's an afterschool program that meets  twice a month, basically learning gardening and doing 4H work.  We are hoping to plant a garden at our house next year so daddy hopes that Pierce learns lots!  Pierce was excited that his buddy Grayson was doing it too.

Last week, they cleaned out the beds tried some raw sugar snap peas and sugar snap crisps.  He said the crisps were gross but the raw ones were good.  Who knew?!?!

FIRST TOOTH!!!

Pierce's first tooth finally came out on Sept. 22nd! He was so, so very excited!! He's been asking for two years when his first tooth would come...just a month or so before his seventh birthday. I told him he will probably loose several very soon.

After Mrs. Lindsey tried to pull it over the weekend, he hopped off the bus that Monday afternoon with tooth in hand!  I'm a little sad I missed the moment.  He said he pulled it out in class!  Ha!

Obviously, it needed to come out!
His teacher sent him to the nurse and she put it in this tooth shaped necklace.  He proudly put it under his pillow that night for the tooth fairy!

Loot from the Tooth Fairy!

End of Summer

In September, we took a weekend visit to Grandmomma and Granddaddy's house. Pierce and Madison had lots of end of summer fun swimming in their pool! Madison was sweet to play with Pierce as long as he wanted.

Pierce had his first loose tooth that had been super wiggly for a week or so.  Aunt Mallory's sweet friend, Mrs. Lindsey, works at a dentist office and tried to wiggle it out!

Leading the Pack

Pierce was excited to help lead the team after their game against the A's.  The boys have really gotten into high fiving the other team!

Old Man

My child got on the bus this morning as a six year old and got off an old man!  He greeted me in his old man voice and said, "hey there, little lady".  Ha Ha!!  He got to pick this out for good behavior at school.
