Reid's Early Birthday Bash!

Even with all the fussiness/sickness it was such a fun and relaxing celebration for Reid!  We did it a week early because several of the family had Monday off for Labor Day and it gave time to recoop after the partying!  :)  

Pierce was WAY sicky poo and could barely eat!  Reid had a runny nose!  We got to visit bunches with family!  All in all everyone was in a pretty good mood!  

We missed a few peeps, but understood traveling would have been hard with a 2 month old! :)

Thank you everyone for attending and enjoying good food and a relaxing time!
We love you so much!

 Getting to ride together!

Getting balloons ready! 

 I didn't want to do R's 1 year picture early because A LOT can happen in a week!  :)  so, 9/9, I'll take a picture and add it to his poster board!

 :) 

Over the shoulder pose!

 Really reading his card!

"Ooo!"

 

"I want to eat the paper!"

"I'll sit in the bag!" 

"and I'll eat MORE paper!" 

"I'll sit in another bag!" 

Comparing toys! 

"I'll sit in a box!" 

"I'll laugh in a box!" 

 "I'll get mad because I can't get the tool off the wagon!" 

"I'll eat with Uncle John!" 

Isn't this adorable!?  Mr. Jerry Joyner from Paris!  AMAZING!

 He wore the hat for one split second!

 Not sure about it...

 I ate much more than my brother did at his 1st birthday! :)

 Grandmom did A LOT of puzzles with Pierce!

Dancing at the frig to end the weekend!  :)

*** Thank you Nona for taking pictures with my camera!

*** Grandmom, Thank you for sharing pictures from your camera!  :)

 Attempt at a family picture!  :)  Not too bad!  :) 

My Birthday!

for my actual birthday, Momma and Daddy came down and made me Sloppy Joes!  I know it is random, but I asked for Sloppy Joes.  Momma's are so good!  Much better than I can do and I try to do her recipe!  :) Brian got me a Banana Cake with Chocolate Icing from Muddy's!  YUMMY!  :) 

I had such a great day!  

Not bad to be 34! 

:) 

****

This is one of my cactus!  The bloom was AMAZING!!  You should have seen me when I saw the bloom out the window!  I ran for my camera and phone like it was going to wilt before my eyes like in Dennis the Menace with Mr. Wilson's Night Blooming Cereus!  and do you know that the next day it was wilted!??  So, I GOT IT!  It was truly spectacular!  I don't know that these pictures do it justice!

Momma brought these beautiful roses for me!

They are called Lipstick!  :)

 

 My Muddy's Cake!

These flowers were from the boys!  They are SO STRONG and a few got wilted from outside but they are still special!  :)

Here is to another year!  

Funnies!

Leaving for daycare the other morning Pierce says to me: "Sun in eye, Momma, Sun in eye!"
I said, "give me just a minute P, as soon as I back out of the driveway, it won't be in your eyes"  
P says to me:  "I idea Momma!"
I said, "You have an idea?"
Pierce:  "Yes!"  
Me:  "What is it?"  
Pierce:  "I fight the sun, High Ya!"
and with a karate chop to the sun we were off to daycare!  :)

******
Picking the boys up from daycare in the afternoon time, the car is hot!
So, I usually have the A/C on full blast when we pull out of MJ's driveway.
On down the road, Pierce says "TURN THE WIND DOWN MOMMA!"
and after him repeating it about 50 times, I FINALLY get he wants me to turn the A/C down!
:)

I was getting ready one morning.
Here comes Reid to join me.
Then here comes Brian
THEN here comes Pierce.
Pierce kept going in and out of the bathroom door and closing it and opening it.
Brian decided to mess with him and lock him out!
Pierce started knocking and saying "let me in!"
Brian says "What is the password?"
and what do ya'll think the password in a house full of boys is??????
Pierce:  "POOPY!"
Brian let him in.
Glad to know the password in to our house now don't you?
:)
