• HE LOVES OUTSIDE! period.
• His eyes are darker blue than I would have thought, due to Daddy, Uncle Jason, Uncle John and GrandMom B having such light pretty blue eyes!
  
• He loves his bed! He is very comfortable there!
• He still likes to put a burp cloth over his eyes to go to sleep! Funny, but it works!

Hussle & Bussle!

This past weekend, we headed to Paris for us to visit, have a "Sprinkle", celebrate Father's Day and SWIM until we were prunes! I just really stunk at getting pictures! but here are a few!

John & Dana planted some Sunflowers and this was one of their results! So pretty!!


Mom's Creativity!

Again!

P getting in the water for the 1st time! He is already getting excited as you can see! He couldn't wait to get in! He seriously LOVES the water! I do hope that continues! We were in there for almost 3 hours! Daddy had heated the pool and it was great! When you got out it was actually kind of chilly!

B & P floatin' around!

Happy!

As for the "Sprinkle!".......
Instead of a "Shower" for Amy, we gave her a "Sprinkle!" Just the four of us eating, laughing, talking, telling stories and enjoying one another company! It was really great to just be able to relax with one another! We haven't been able to do that in over a year! and I feel like such a bad friend because I didn't get any more pictures than the ones below! Can you tell we had enough food to feed 40 people rather than just 4!? :)

Fresh Strawberries and an awesome punch!

Umbrella Straws are the best! They even make drinking pink lemonade fun!!!

YUMMY little cupcakes made by an over achiever high school-er! OH SO GOOD! and dense!

The island where we hovered all night and into the next morning! ;) and pregnant Momma there with just a belly! :)

Wednesday Lisa had us over to her house for a HouseWarming party! She is a NEW HOME OWNER! It was just all the girls from University! Elle was the center of attention! and of course we all loved her! We had such a good time! :)

Lisa's Banana Split Cupcakes......Strawberry cake with marshmellow creme filling, Banana icing, chocolate, caramel, pecans and a cherry on top!

Zoo Membership + 1!!

Saturday afternoon late, we went and got us a Memphis Zoo membership! + 1 for a Grandparent, Uncle, Aunt or Friend to accompany us for free! It was warm, but there was a breeze, so it did make it tolerable. We didn't see everything, we just went through the monkeys to the Polar Bears! with a pit stop through their "Birds & Bees" exhibit! I think we will really be getting great use out of this! P was entertained with the people JUST as much as the animals!
:)

The ducks cracking me up!

**********************************************************************************
for Father's Day B just wanted to be at home....so we make shifted a beach scene again and AGAIN P had a blast!
:)


Drinking the water out of the fountain!

Chillin' and Relaxin'.....

Happy Father's Day Brian! You are the best any little boy could ask for!!!
We love you!!!!

Movin', Movin', Movin'!

Look who is crawling!!!!

(AKA: Army Crawling with one arm! His left arm at that! - Do we have a Leftie?)

Splish Splash.....

It's Hot (as I have said MANY times before! ha!) and We GOT A POOL!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!

our "beach" side look! :)

It is a crab, but as best friend Todd said, it looks like Cookie Monster and IT DOES! :) those eyes make me crack up!

the pool even has a fountain! :)

*************************************************************************************

Today Mommy & Daddy got brave and took me to big church! I did REALLY good and looked like a big boy.....

If only they had camera's!

The other morning when I was dropping P off at MJ's after an appt, I discovered REALLY quick what a celebrity feels like when the paparazzi mobs them! I walked in the door and 6 little kids (remember 5 girls & 1 little boy) came running over saying "Piiiiierce" in their quiet little voices! They were so excited to see him! I couldn't even set the car seat down! and when I finally set it down they were ALL leaned over the car seat softly touching him and holding his hands! Even Mackenna was kissing on his hands! It was amazing! MJ had to say "y'all step back so Miss Stacy can get Pierce out so he can play!" They all immediately backed up and couldn't wait for me to get him out of the car seat! It was insane! but I was so thankful to know that he is loved and cherished while we are at work! We are SO thankful for our day care and MJ! :)
So, when you meet Pierce just remember he is a celebrity in his own little world!
;)

I'm kind of a Big Deal in Paris, Ocean Springs, Foley, Day Care, to my Momma & Daddy.......to a lot of people and places! ;)

It's Hot........

....and we need a Pool!

- In reference to the Watson commercials with the girl that said "IT'S HOT, AND YOU NEED A POOL!" :)

Mr. P is LOVING the water hose! Every night when we go out to water, he is pulling that water hose to his hands, feet & face!
Do we have a water bug on our hands?
;)
