Some pictures from Christmas

Santa brought Landon a wooden bowling set!! He loves it!

Tyler got a Fancy Nancy doll and Fancy Nancy books!

One day I would love to get a family picture where we are all

happy and eager to get our picture made!!

AAAWWWW Shucks.....

I received two emails this week from old friends asking what is up with the blog! (Thanks Jo and Kerri!!) Honestly, I am not really sure! I was busy with school and sick kids for the past two months! Croup is no fun with a one year old. Thank goodness the second time around wasn't as bad! Wow, we have been busy bees around the Pierce household. We went home for Christmas for the first time in 8 years. We had a blast!! And the kids came home with quite a loot! This week the kids and I are hanging out before Tyler starts back to school next week. Then I start back the following week. And we have to big birthdays coming up!! David turns 29 next week and our lil man turns 2 at the end of the month! We were going to have a big party for Landon but David has a weird shift going on this month! But we do have plans to make the big day special for our lil man! Speaking of our lil man, I think he is showing signs of getting ready to be potty trained! We are headed to Walmart to start preparing. I am ready but not ready! I still vividly remember the nightmare of potty training Tyler. My mom swears that the first one (ahem, me) is hard, and the second one is so much easier! We will see about that! Hopefully she is right!

On a more serious note, I am thinking about making my blog private. There are just too many crazy people roaming the web! I have had nasty comments and so have many of my friends who have blogs. Honestly, I just delete them the first few negative words! But I really do not want to have to second guess a post due to the fear of a negative comment from someone that I don't even know. It isn't worth it. I started this blog for our family and friends to catch up on what is going on with us. I haven't checked out the settings for it yet but I think you will have to enter your email address. I will have all approved email addresses included. So leave me a comment letting me know you want to keep up with the blog. I will not post the comment so you will not have to worry about it being published. Or you can send me an email.

Ok, enough of the whole serious talk! Here are some pictures from our Christmas! I hope you enjoy them!

Ok, blogger is wanting to post my pictures for some crazy reason. I will try again later!

99 Balloons

I watched this video on another blog today. The video is about a couple in NWA whose son was born with Trisomy 18. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby.

A History Lesson from a 5 Year Old

Background: David and I were watching Sarah Palin/Tina Fey on SNL.

Tyler: "Mommy, is she our President."
Mommy: "No, she is running for Vice President."
Tyler: "Well who is our President."
Mommy: "George Bush"
Tyler" "No mommy, his name is George Washington and he was our first President."

Week in Pictures

I am going to start attempting to taking more pictures during the week and posting a Week in Pictures post on the weekend. David actually took the pictures below. Tyler pulled her first tooth this week. It was loose forever but never loose enough to pull. We also went and bought pumpkins this week. Tyler had school pictures but of course it was on a day that David had to work so I was doing good making her "beautiful" (Tyler's words not mine!) and getting her and Landon out the door on time!! But this is my attempt at holding myself more accountable to take pics!!

Can I get an ALLELUIA!!!!!

I am still beyond excited as I type this post!! WE WON!! The Razorbacks beat #20 Auburn!! Way to GO RAZORBACKS!! And the fact that we beat them at Auburn makes this win even sweeter!! GO HOGS!!! Keep it up!!!

Movie and Halloween

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, you should go to the movies and see The City of Ember. I read the book in my Children's Lit class and it was amazing. It is the first of 4 books and I am hoping to read the other 3 books during Christmas break. I really want to see the movie this weekend but David works. Well isn't really a factor because I still wouldn't have a babysitter!! HA!!! If anyone sees the movie, let me know what you thought of it.

In other news, my neighborhood is playing You've Been Boo'ed. I read about this earlier in the week on another blog. That afternoon we were Boo'ed. I was so excited. Tuesday night I was coming home from the library when I saw a gift bag hanging on our front door. I had no clue that our neighborhood was playing this game. I ran up there and it was a Halloween gift bag with a bag of Hershey kisses. Inside the bag was a poem that read:

How to Boo

There was a ghost here bringing treats to you,

He flew to your house just to say Boo!

Who left this Boo bag, who could it be?

You might find out, but not from me!

Place this sign where all can see

So everyone will know a Boo! you received.

Enjoy the goodies as a treat from us,

But now it's your turn to Boo! someone else

Fill each bag with some treats and fun,

Bring them to your friends and

neighbors, knock....then run!

Happy Halloween!!

How fun is that!!! David and I had a blast trying to figure out who left us our treats. We did our Boo! last night and hope they enjoy their treats as much as we enjoyed ours!! What a fun Halloween game for adults!!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!
