Maternity Pics... the fav's!

We took over 300 pics and after sitting with the photographers assistant for 2 hours... we narrowed down our favorites.  However there will be more later bc we got all the pics and I have been working on editing them... sure wish I was better at that... but for now here are the top 11 and these have zero editing... straight off the photographers camera (impressive).

So much fun at school...

Wet and Wild day at school... so much fun.  The kids were asked to come dressed to get wet and also the parents were invited... you better believe I was not going to miss this one.  The kids had a great time getting wet and just being silly.
 

Every kids dream... how many times I have said not to jump in that puddle... well here was his time to jump in a huge puddle bucket and get all kinds of wet.

 

 

 

His new school really made the last week of school so much fun... we are already missing all the fun we had there... now we are getting ready for Kindergarten (it is about to get serious :-)).

Random fun at Home...

Don't you just love to stay at home some days... and just play, relax, read and enjoy being home.  Now that the summer has started for us we are getting to do that some... the days we stay with busy with friends is so much fun but I always say after that day is over... tomorrow lets just stay home and enjoy each other... put on a movie, do a puzzle, do a craft and just love being with each other.  Today is one of those days with the rain outside, chai tea on the stove, Pierce happy to be home... life could only be better if Daddy did not have to to work today.

Here are some pics of some random fun at home... we are so thankful to have a great house that feels like a home.

One day Pierce just wanted to cuddle on the couch with his handmade blanket from Auntie Elly and Uncle Keith...

One day I got busted for putting my feet up on the couch a little to long... Pierce got a picture of baby Asher...

Friday in our house is known as Jacuzzi Friday... so every Friday night Pierce gets a jacuzzi bath... just yesterday (wed) Pierce was asking is today Friday... we know why.

I love to wake up in the morning and my son is sitting beside me being really quiet and waiting patiently for me to wake up... this morning in particular... he was reading the newspaper.

We love to fill our days with crafts as well... and this one is a very special craft that we get to play with every day... did you ever make a countdown chain (counting down to something really exciting).  This was Pierce's first experience to do so and we had a lot of exciting days coming up so we had a lot of chains to make.  We took blue and green paper to make the chain and the on the special days we used red (special days: Daddy comes home from Singapore, last day of school/summer begins, ViVi and Grandad get here, Asher's arrival).  So much fun watching the chain get shorter and shorter.

 

Pierce drew on the red links to make sure he would remember why that day was special.  This was the last day of school picture... on the left is his school (in a house) and on the right is his home (high rise condo)... so cute.

And then a picture of baby Asher... already lying down on his blanket.

 

Pretty long chain and since I am behind on blogging about this... we have already reached two red links and now we are patiently awaiting the arrival of ViVi and Grandad (the next red link)... Yeah.

 

Sports Day at School...

Another fun day at school... Sports Day.  The kids loaded in a big bus and headed down the road to an amazing soccer field for sports day.  The weather was fantastic... cloudy and a little windy and screaming for kids to come play outside.  So here we are ready for all the fun.  
Can you find Pierce?

 

One excited little boy... so much room to run and play.

And off they go...

Here they are chasing their teacher Miss. Murphy (in the red top)... Pierce is the second kid about to catch up...

Stretching time...

And hanging with his buddy Bodhi.

 

Ready for the relay... he was first and was so excited to get started...

You had to drop the bean bags in the circles and run back as fast as you can... relay against another team.

 

 

Pierce with more friends... The girl in the middle name is Camille and then Sophie (which loves Pierce... always giving him hugs).

 

 

I did not know he could do this... he has lift off... and in the background is his assistant teacher Miss. Naam.

 

Mom even got to do a mommy relay and had to run a little (was interesting taking the baby bump with me)... we had a great day with friends and enjoying the cool weather.

School is now over and we are in summer now but there is more fun that I will share with that we had just the last week of school.
