Adventures with Buttercups and Moooooo's!

We headed to Paris when Daddy headed to Oxford for a boys weekend!  It was chilly, but pretty!  We got to smell pretty buttercups, ride in tractors, look at cows, check the cows, PICK buttercups and I got to visit with a dear dear friend and Pierce got to see the piggies!!  I know again we WORE Papa and Nona out!  On Sunday, Papa said "Oh, They are leaving around 1:30!"  I never said that!  ha!  :) but I think they enjoyed it too!  
Enjoy some of the beautiful scenery!    


 Eek!  Spider!!! :)  
 These all line the road at Papa and Nona's house!  I love them!  The night before had been a big hard rain, so they kind of looked defeated!  but they still smelled so nice!  Nona has such a fun variety!  and I love how she can tell me where she got every one of them!  I hope I can do that one day!  


 one of my fav's!



Beautiful blue sky behind them!   

 Kitty With No Name!  :) 
 YUMMY smelling! 
 The tiniest buttercup known to man! 

Dogwood's budding! 
 Pierce picked us all a bouquet!  :) (Taking after Momma!)  :) 

Photo shoot.... LORD, a mess!  This was @ 730 in the morning!  We had been up since 5am! You can get a lot done in a day when you get up before the sun!  :)  

 Reid not wanting to look at the camera! 
 AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH, Creepy MOUSE!!!!!!!!

 Love this Lamb's Ear! 
 Reid wanting the kitty to SMELL the buttercup!!  :) 
 and again!!
 CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!  He loves the cat!  "CA!"
Pierce was in HEAVEN!  He got to feed with Mr. Austin!  and then Mr. Jerry brought him home!!!
:) 
 Reid and I sat and played in ANOTHER tractor!
 Ooooooo, Reid found the horn!  Nona captured his face great!!  :) 
 Oooo, again!  :) 
 Us getting to park it in the sun for warmth! 
 Then we went out in the field with Mr. Jerry!  OREO cows!!!  My favorite!  (they are actually called Galloway cows!)  :) 
 MJ had given Pierce a building set for his birthday.  There is an airplane, a race car, a bird house and a bird feeder!   We are going to put one together every time we are home!  Gives Pierce and Papa a fun project!  Pierce picked the plane this time!  He was saying "Oooooo, Nona is going to be so proooooud of this!"  It was hilarious!  and Nona WAS proud!  


 End product!  I think he did great!  and Papa was great letting him do what he wanted!  :)  ha!  
 DUCKS!
 Gator riding!!
 Uncle John pushing through the yard!  :) 
 LOVE OUR SELFIES with my big camera!  :) 
Bacon LOVES Gator rides but NOT little Gator rides!  
and speaking of Gator.... Reid is saying "GayGay" for Gator!  :)
I had to do it.... this is Pierce ALL weekend!  I LOVES PEEing in the yard!  :)  Sorry Nona if we killed somethings!  :) 
 Ellen had another shower in Paris, with her Paris friends!  She invited me!  It was so much fun to be able to spend some time with her and get to visit with the people that she visits with more now!  She looks amazing for 35 weeks!  She says her fingers look like sausages, but NOT AT ALL!  She may feel that way!!  I am so excited for Mr. Jackson to arrive so I can kiss him!  LOVE YOU Elle!

 Then we went around the corner of Papa and Nona's house and picked buttercups! 



 Uncle John had had enough of Reid crying for me!  so he put him like a sack of potatoes and said "YOU ARE STAYING WITH ME!"  :)  Reid was laughing by the end of it!  :) 
 again, Pierce can have some AMAZING hair!  This was after wearing Papa's ball cap all day!  HILARIOUS to me!!! 

 Feeding birds!  :) 
 Drinking out of their cool happies from Uncle John and Aunt Dana!  Drink bottles that look like flower pots with straws that look like flowers!  :) 
Speaking of Aunt Dana... John realized that he is OUT.... Aunt Dana IS the person!  Pierce asked for her EVERYTIME he turned around!!!  Uncle John said "FINE"  Aunt Dana said "don't be hatin'!"  hahah!  It was great!  They do love them both so!  :) 
Uncle John and I and Pierce playing with Uncle John's new game "thingy"   HA! 

Thank ya'll again for letting us over take your world for 48 hours!  We have so much fun! WE LOVE YOU much too!  :) 
Until next time.................... you should REST!  :)

Reidster!




This face!  I love it!
The series of these pictures is me CONSTANTLY getting Reid to stand still and "Cheese" for me!  :)

Amazements and Accomplishments:

  • 18 month check up was an interesting time!  You didn't want Dr. Z to touch him or even LOOK at him!  But you weighed in @ 28# and was 33inches tall!  All in the 75th percentile!  :)
  • You love my LOTION!  You are constantly trying to either EAT it or pretending to put it on your legs! 
  • You LOVE the hair dryer, EXCEPT when I try to use it on you!
  • You are very attached to me!  You just want to be with me, me to hold you or just making sure I am in your line of sight!
  • You learned to drink from a straw in one afternoon.... on 3/8/2014
  • Over night you have been saying so many words!  "Heeeey!" for Hey! :)   "ALL GONE!" when done eating!  "What's THAT!?" at EVERYTHING!  "Mow" is the vacuum - like Pierce did!  "Mack" for semi's!  "Haaa" is for HOT.  and EVERYTHING IS HOT, even the ice!  :)  When pointing at pictures, no matter who is in it you say "You, you!"   "La" for light!  "Mink" for Milk! "Pee Pee" when anyone is sitting on the potty!  "Ba" for ball!  "Bub" for Bus!  "Neigh" for horse!  "Moo" for cow!  "Ca" for Cat!  
  • You are still choosy on what you want to eat!  You love meat!!
  • You love apples and bananas!  
  • You tried broccoli the other day for the upteenth time and you kind of choked, coughed, laughed and looked at me and said "good"  ha!!
  • You love watching Pierce and what he is doing!  You also like to copy him!   :)
  • You are starting to try to Pee Pee in the potty!  You love to copy Pierce when he PeePee's outside!  :)  
  • You are sleeping SOME better!  KNOCK ON WOOD!!!
  • You love to ride your tricycle!  Or have someone PUSH you on it!   
  • You like outside, but I don't think you have to be OUT THERE ALL THE TIME like Pierce!  :) 
  • You are cautious!  You will furrow your eyebrows at ANYTHING and anyone! 
  • Your funny faces make me laugh!  I try to catch them on camera, but they are so quick that I miss them!
I know there are things I am forgetting.... 

Reid - 
We are so thankful for you!  You are funny, cautious, loving and happy!  You make us better people! You are growing up so fast!  Just like you saying so many words over night!  I just can't believe it! Thank you for being who you are AND HOW you are!   We love you so very much!
Momma, Daddy & Pierce
