A Picture is Worth 1,000 words.......


They say a picture is worth 1,000 words..... 
Wonder what they say about how many words 1,000 pictures are? 
:)
We got to go and spend some time in Paris!  We had such a good time!  
We canned homemade salsa, Pierce got to shuck corn for the 1st time, Reid got to ride in the Gator in his own homemade seat for the 1st time, A new baby calf was our entertainment every morning, and visiting the "Piggies" as Pierce said was a highlight of our trip!  

I do think this is what Momma and Daddy's (Nona and Papa's) hair looked like when we pulled out of the driveway on the last day!  They were beat! :) Thank you for letting us BEAT YOU DOWN!  :)
We loved every minute of it!  
We love you all so much!!!



 My Salsa!  Spot had given me a whole cooler of tomatoes!  This is what we did!  I can't wait to try it! :) 


 Fun in the bath tub every night!  :)

I got the seat in the back! Every one else is up front! You can barely see Pierce but he is sitting in front of Nona!  We are going to check on the baby calf!

 Isn't she cute!?

Momma's lilies!  SO TALL!






 The mushrooms were fun!

LIME!

Kumquat!


:)

Mom's pineapple!  Getting close to harvest!

Sweetness!


Kitty with No Name!





 Pierce had so much fun with the kitty!  As you can see on down in the pictures! ;)



10 AM Popsicle break!





 Pierce got to Shuck Corn the first time!  He did really good!  He would quit though when he got to the silk (aka: Hair as I call it!)   :)

 Friends!

Pierce feeding Baby some corn leaves!

 "Cheese Momma!"




Happy!

We got to go see piggies!............
 Just ONE of the control panels in the hog barns!  Mine boggling to me!




 Chasing them! (of course right?)


 Trying to get them to slow down to come up to them!

Eating!



:)

They nibble on your boots!

Cleaning out!

Love that face!

"Hello!"

Look at that mouth!  :)


Down the hallway of one of the barns!


Best picture ever I think!  :)





One of the tractors was left after working around the barns..... Pierce wanted to get in it!  as you can tell! :)

 Pierce's face, cracked me up, he was talking the ENTIRE TIME!

:)  

Our morning Gator ride!
We hadn't gotten Reid's special seat ready yet! ;)


 Hanging out in the front yard while Nona and I canned!

more corn!

 Reid watched this time!  :)

AND Reid's special seat was BORN!!!!!!! :)

YUMMY!!

Piggie cupcakes! :) Best Ever!

1st of MANY cupcakes! ;)

Reading the paper with Nona!






It was fair week for Henry County!  We meant to go, but I just enjoyed being at home so much that we didn't make it up there to see the entries and the livestock!  
I wanted to try to get some night time pics of the carnival without having pay to go in, though!  
so,I was lurked on the edges! ;)  

Brian got to come to Paris on Saturday and we took Pierce to see PLANES!!!! He did really excellent!  About 20 minutes until it was over he looked at me and said "I done, go Papa's house"  But we convinced him it was almost over and he needed to keep an eye out for the Tractors!  :)  
He MADE IT ALL THE THROUGH IT!!!  :) 
He enjoyed popcorn too as you can see!!! :)


Can you say "Best Cat Ever"?  
He let Pierce PUSH HIM IN THE STROLLER!!!!  
What cat does that??? ;)  

More pics to come here..... :) 



"Ta DA!"  :)

Dana and John wanted a picture with them and Bacon (Yep, the puppy's name is Bacon - HA!) with the pigs!  I tried to work my magic!  Hopefully they approve!  :) 

Clay, is one of Dana's good friend's sons....he loves to come out and visit John and Dana!  and John had him hard at work when we got there that morning!  :) 

I was able to get in the pen with the pigs this day.... and try to get some pictures!  They just MOVE SO MUCH!  I didn't get as many good ones as I would have liked, but, I'm getting some good ones in December if it kills me! (December is when John gets his next load of babies)  :) 


Cutest face ever! 

Clay, the Pig Whisperer!  :) 





"Oink" 

Love this! 


Napping! 

That little one with his nose up makes me laugh!  :)

OH!!!  and this is for my good friend and office mate......We pass this on the way to John's and the farm..... I thought she would love this! 
I think I have a thing for signs and I am just discovering this in the past couple of years!!!  :)

Funnies!


This Cheese Monkey has a few things to say.....

"Hey Yo" for Hello!
"Prueeeeze" for Pleeeease!

Us:  "Hey Pierce, what did Brandon say?"
Pierce:  "Ehhh, ehh, hhhh"
- Yep, that is about what a 3 week old baby sounds like!  ;)

Us:  "Pierce, who is your best friend?"
Pierce:  "REID!!!!!!!!!"
- I hope that last a LONG TIME!  :)

Me:  "Pierce, I am going to get Reid out of the bathtub and then put you in, I don't think ya'll should take a bath together this week, Reid is sick"
Pierce:  "It's FIIIIIIIIIINE, Momma!"    With a hand gester of "ohhhhh, don't worry about it!"
Me thinking:  "What? Who are you?"  :)

Cashier at Babies R Us:  "looks like you are going to be eating good!"
(Jars of baby food in the cart with Pierce that they were getting for Reid)
Pierce:  "I don't eat baby FOOD!"
Cashier:  "Oh"
 - yep.

After the Zoo
Pierce:  "Watch me run faster than a Cheeto!"
AKA:  Cheeto = Cheetah!  ;)

Free For All Friday! :)

This post is everything and anything! 

Best little face ever! Scrunch up the nose and talk! :)

This angelic face has been sick!  Better now, but they didn't know what was going on!

 P got to go to the park with MJ one day!  Had a ball! 

Love my old timey flowers!

Scrunch! 

Oh my!  This is so neat!  I am teaching a prediabetes class with my friend and co-worker, Erin.  One of our participants is this famous and gorgeous girls Dad!  He had been in New York watching her on Broadway and had to miss a couple of our classes!  During his make up session, he brought us these!  Signed copies of the PlayBills!  SO COOL!!! :) 

I made this little card for the staff at our Peds office!  They are truly the most awesome group of people!  Dr. Z came in on Thanksgiving Day to check on Reid and Dr. Saino called me at work, HIMSELF, to also check on Reid!  Who does that?  This group, that's who!  I love them and I just wanted them to know!  :)  They truly are the best!!!
