Adios, Montgomery!

Please forgive me for being so slow with the blog, but we're a work in progress! Here are some pics from our last few weeks in Montgomery.


Our friends, Jea, Ken & Jake drove through AL to see us for an evening, before heading back to Shreveport. Brandon was having a grand 'ole time reading to the boys!! Pierce & Jake had lots of fun playing together.

These pics are before the Grad Ball that B & I attended. It was so nice to get dressed up in something other than a t-shirt and shorts! :)

Ms Cle came to visit for Brandon's graduation. Little did we know that we would be packing and moving that week when she initially bought her ticket, SO....it worked out perfectly, as she was a tremendous help to us!!

Here I am with some of my pals. I sure will miss them, that's for sure!

These are just some cute pics B took of Piercey.

Piercey decided to play some ball with his Daddy. I played basketball for a long time and I gotta say, I'm not sure I've ever seen this first move before...

Grams took Pierce outside to play in the rain. They discovered...WORMS!! :) AND, maybe even a little dirt!

These are of Pierce prior to his first hair cut...bye bye curls!! My hair stylist, Steve, was awesome when we took Pierce to get his hair cut. He was patient and did a fantastic job!

Pierce saying good-bye to his pal, Sadie Bug...and sporting his new hair cut!

We tried to take a few pics of Anna, Piercey, & Sarah, but it just didn't work out. However, the third pic cracks me up every time I see it! Hilarious.

We finally made it to Shreveport and we got to see quite a few of our friends...in a very short amount of time. Here's a pic of Pierce when he met Mariya and Dmitry. He LOVED playing with them and we couldn't believe how much they've grown! What awesome kids they are!

The night before we left, we had dinner at the Weisners. It was great to see them and to meet baby Lana. What a sweetheart! The Theis' were also there...always wonderful to hang out with old friends. We miss you guys!

Birthdays, Birthdays and More Birthdays!!

So, the month of May was filled with many first birthdays...all of Pierce's friends, in fact!! Anna Kathryn (who is also our God-daughter) was 1 on the 14th, as was Pierce's BFF, Rock. Then, on the 27th, finishing out the month of partying, Sadie Bug turned 1.

Pierce thoroughly enjoyed all of the cake, cupcakes, ice cream, etc. He learned how to lick the bowl (even if it was the backside) and how to handle a brain freeze b/c the ice cream is so cold.

These are pics from Rock's birthday party. Pierce & Sadie took full advantage of the pool...and the fish!

We went to Anna's birthday party and had a great time! Grandpa Bleil even had a good time playing with Pierce while Anna was opening some of her gifts :)

The singing Winnie the Pooh card was a HUGE hit...not just with Anna, but Piercey, too!

After the gifts were opened, we took the party outside. I'm pretty sure I may have one of the ONLY pics of Anna with her birthday hat on...it was SO cute!!

Check out that baby sign language...MORE!!

Give me some cake!!

Where's Pierce?

Oh...there he is...behind/inside the bowl!

He DEMOLISHED that bowl!

Whatchu talkin' about Willis?

Even Sarah Max loved the ice cream...down to the very last drop!

Yeah for Piercey!

And, it was onto Sadie's party at the end of the month. Please note Pierce's cupcake "beard" in the background. Apparently, he shared with Rock, because Rock had a vanilla cupcake, but I'm seein' chocolate in his hand and on his face....wonder who shared that with him??!!
