Happy Birthday, Puntin and Michelle!

Last Tuesday (Nov. 20) was Banx and Michelle's birthday---yes, we will be very busy celebrating that day over the years! :)  We started off at Blackwell's house to celebrate Banx's big day.  She had an adorable "monkey" theme and was, of course, dressed to impress.  She was so much fun to watch as she kept "showing off" for everyone by running around and doing all of her tricks.  Happy (belated) birthday, Putnin. We love you so very much!

After we left Banx's party, we headed to Kaldera's in Pella, one of Michelle's favorite restaurants. It was so good to have the Pierson clan together and to help Michelle celebrate her special day! We love you so much Michelle and appreciate EVERYTHING you do for us!

Thanks, Aunt Brookie!

Aunt Brook had left her pink Breast Cancer straw cup in my car from awhile back, so after I had washed it, Beau INSISTED that he play with it.  Little did I know, that he actually wanted to drink from it!  I filled it with ice water and he went to town drinking through the straw.  He's just growing up too fast!

We love the weekends!

We absolutely love the weekends in the Pierson household.  Saturday morning Beau always seems to talk daddy into letting him come cuddle in bed with us :)  Beau's favorite part about being in our bed---he gets to sit with his doggies and look out the window with them.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Sorry for the delay in posts.  It has been very crazy at our house this month with working at the new house, having a sick baby, and getting ready for the holidays!

A couple of weekends ago (Nov. 9) was my mom's birthday, 39 right mom?? :)  We celebrated by going to Prairie Meadows to see Wilson Phillips in concert.  It was  great time and we had a blast celebrating with her!  We love you mom!

1 Year Pictures!

For Beau's 1 year pictures, we went to Miss Amy..of course!  She does an amazing job and we just love her work!  How in the world are we going to pick, Amy?!

1 Year Check Up

Yesterday, Beau had his 1 year check up.  He sure is a growing boy right now!  He is off the charts for height at 31 1/2 inches tall, 69 percentile for weight at 24 pounds, and 92 percentile for head circumference.  We have a tall baby needless to say :)  Can't believe how fast this is going.  He'll be in pre-school before we know it!

The ipad was the only thing that Beau wanted during his whole appointment!  I think he might need his own now ;)

Sleepover #1

Last weekend, Brook and Austin went to Des Moines to celebrate a friend's birthday.  So, that meant Joe and I were lucky enough to get Banx all day Saturday through Sunday.  They had so much fun playing together with Beau's new birthday toys.  They didn't want to go to bed at their bedtime because they knew it was "party time", so we all stayed up for a bit watching a movie.  We LOVED having her over, especially Uncle Joe.  When it came time for bed, she only wanted Uncle Joe to put her to bed....don't worry Puntin, you'll like me more once it comes time to shopping ;) JK!  We had a great weekend and we can't wait for the sleepovers to continue over the years with Banx!
