6th Birthday

He did have a few other surprises outside of legos that he was excited about, the Nerf gun he's holding, star wars pj's, and a bass pro shop gift certificate to stock his tackle box!

Pierce turned 6 years old yesterday! It was all about legos. He's quite easy to shop for now because that is the only thing he wants or asks for. He woke up before six yesterday morning with the rest of the house. We didn't think we would have time for breakfast before school but since everyone was up at the crack of dawn we headed to M&J donuts for a birthday treat before school. Camden and I took cupcakes to the class and got to play outside with his class which was fun. The girls in his class loved walking Camden around and it was fun for me to have time to play with Pierce and his friends. He got to open one gift before school which was a Power Miner lego set. When he got home from school he stood in front of his cabinet downstairs for 3 hours straight and assembled the entire 300 piece set. Literally he did not move from his spot the entire time. We had pizza with Gran and Pop, headed to Forest Hill for a fun preschool program and then back for cake and ice cream. You know your child has had way too much sugar when he's getting in bed and says, "mommy I don't think I like icing." It was a really fun day celebrating him. He is having his first birthday party outside of our house on Sunday at none other than the LEGO store!!

The tooth fairy came early...

Holt had to have his top tooth pulled last week. After a couple good falls, a loose tooth, and then an infection the only option we were left with was to pull it. I was pretty sad about but he was thrilled to have a loose tooth and then a tooth out like Pierce. He was super brave and the missing tooth has not phased him. It will likely not grow back until he is seven so here our new beautiful smile!

Recent Pictures

We switched toys out a couple of weekends ago and Camden has loved the grocery cart. She pushes it around with all the food and in true Camden fashion has learned how to climb in and out of it.

Pierce's first 'project' for school. He had to choose an animal and make a poster board on it. He chose a deer. The night he told us he wanted to do a deer we were sitting at the kitchen table eating dinner and two deer were right behind our fence in our backyard. We had never seen one any where near our house so that was really fun. If you look at the bottom of the poster he wrote "Pierce Latta 6." For the past month whenever he draws a picture or rights he signs it with a 6 since he is five, but getting ready to turn 6 :)

Last weekend we had friends over and had smores by the fire pit. The boys are listening to Shane tell one of his great 'boy's stories by the fire. I was messing with the settings on my camera in this picture, I thought it was neat how it turned the smoke from the fire orange.

Pumpkins

My boys love pumpkins. From the moment they realize it is pumpkin time they are begging us to go buy their pumpkins. We usually head to the 'pumpkin patch' to pick out theirs and then thrifty mommy gets the big ones from the grocery store. You would of thought it was Christmas morning went we went to get their pumpkins.
