Pearce's 3rd Birthday

A couple weekends ago, little Pearce turned 3 years old! Carrie's baby is getting to be a big boy! Nathan and Charlotte love helping to take care of him, and they are always asking me if he is big now or if he is like he was at Christmas. It s so funny. They are so worried he is going to turn into a big kid if they don't see him in a few weeks. When Nathan and Pearce are together, Pearce is ALL ABOUT Nathan. So I ended up sending Charlotte to Austin with Mama and Papa since they were going down earlier on Friday and Charlotte didn't have school. Then Nathan and I drove down when he got out of school. This way, Charlotte was able to have some time just with Pearce by herself. And she loved being with Mama and Papa by herself too. They told me that she was such a good traveler and slept most of the way. I figured she would because she woke up really early because she was so excited. 

When Nathan and I got to Austin that evening, Pearce was so happy! He and Nathan wrestled non-stop!

The next day, we went out to lunch to Phil's Ice House where the kids could play on an outdoor playgroud while we ate. We also celebrated Robert's 13th birthday! I can't believe he is a teenager now! Then we went home and let Pearce have a nap while we got everything together for his Gymboreee party that afternoon. 

The theme of the party was "Superheros" so Carrie had everything decorated perfectly to fit the theme. I helped a few weeks before by helping her make mini capes for the applesauce pouches and for the blow pop party favors. I also made the cutest (if I do say so myself) capes for Pearce and Charlotte. I ran out of time on Charlotte's do Mama finished it for me. All of Pearce's friends and nathan and Charlotte had the best time. 

After the party, we went back to carrie's house, had a great chicken spaghetti dinner, and opened presents. 

It was so sad for Pearce when we left. He has so much fun with nathan and Charlotte. He cried and cried saying he didn't want nay nay and Charlotte to leave. Poor little guy! Seeing him so sad made Carrie sad which madee sad which made nathan and Charlotte sad! We had so much fun though and can't wait to see our little buddy again soon!!!
