Spoiled Babies!

The past few mornings, Uncle Joe has been spoiling the babies by cooking them a feast for breakfast.  Today, the menu included cereal, milk and yummy spinach omelets! 

First Night of PowerKids

Wednesday night, Banx had her first night at PowerKids at church.  She was so excited that she actually got to go with the kids tonight to do crafts and eat the yummy meal.

 Since Brook and Austin are out of town for the week, I get to have Bankers for that time!  I tried filling in the "mommy" role by taking several pictures and getting her all prim and proper :)  PowerKids lasts until 7:00pm, but at 6:15 Banx started telling people "bye-bye".  She knew she was tired and ready to go to bed.  And sure enough, as soon as we got home, brushed teethe, read books, her AND Beau were in bed asleep before 7:00 p.m.  I am so blessed to have such a good son and niece :)

Thanks Nana for the yummy treat :)

Where are all the other kids PP?

Pierson Banquet

Beau was so excited to go help daddy and "talk" to dealers at the banquet

Last night, Joe had his annual Rainbow Seed banquet.  This year, it was held at Monarch's in Pella.  Joe wanted Beau and I to tag along, and Beau seemed anxious to go help daddy "work" :)  Once we got there, he was walking around to tables, smiling and flirting with anyone who walked near him.  Once bedtime rolled around, he was down for the count!  When Beau needs his sleep, he TRULY needs his sleep! 

Farmer, Beau

A few weeks ago, I took Beau out to my Great-Grandpa Fynaardt's farm.  It is a very special farm to my dad since he was so close to my great-grandpa.  I knew it would be special to him to take his grandson out there, now!  Beau absolutely LOVED the bulldozer.  But when my dad took Beau for a ride in the tractor, then Beau was in Heaven.  He couldn't keep his hands off the wheel from driving and screamed/cried when it was time for us to go.  I think Grandpa Gene has found a new helper for the farm!

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!
