Weekend in KY

Last weekend we all headed to Natural Bridge, KY. It was a special time with Julie's side of the family. The kids had so much fun playing and fishing. It rained most of the day Saturday, so our activities were limited. We had a great time anyways!

Easter weekend

HAPPY EASTER!!!

More pics from the weekend

March 2007

The last few weeks we have been traveling. We had such a special time seeing family and friends. Some of the pictures are from our trip to Doylestown. Visiting the grandparents is always a treat for the kids. My friend, Erin, her husband, and their kids came over to see us. Noah and Abbey had a blast! The first picture is from our trip to PA. We went to a basketball game(Hannah loved it!) and a tea party.It was so much fun! The kids enjoyed playing with their cousins.

Snow Day/ Lunch with Ron

Here are a few pictures from a snow day we had a few weeks ago. The kids had a blast!(including the BIG kid) The other picture is from our lunch with Ron, Jason's brother. He is a truck driver and we do not get to see him often. He called the other day and said he'd be coming through Columbus and we were very excited that we could meet up with him. The last time we were able to take him out when he came through Columbus was 6 years ago when Abbey was still in my belly about a week before she was due. We were remembering that we were given a booth to eat at and I could hardly fit in it!

Winter Camp Weekend

The boys were at winter camp this weekend. This was Noah's first year to attend. It is a camp through our church for 2nd- 5th graders. Jason was Noah's camp counselor and it sounds like they had a great time. I'm not sure how much sleep they got, but Noah cannot stop talking about the fun he had! The picture of Jason is from the "decorate your counselor contest".

Happy Chinese New Year!

These are some of our pictures from our Chinese New Year celebration at home. The kids had so much fun helping me set the table and prepare for the dinner. It was such a great time and Hannah loved the food so much. She was even eating egg rolls!

Fun with Friends....

This weekend a friend from Arizona was in town. Her name is Natalia and we think it had been over 3 years since we had seen each other last. For dinner last night, my friend Melissa, Natalia and I went out for a girls night. We had a really great time!

Seeing Kaeli

Hannah got to see her friend Kaeli last night at dinner. Kaeli is her friend from the Hepu Orphange in China. The Huffs were in town for some appointments and we were so glad that we could have dinner with them. It was fun to catch up and see how the girls were doing. The girls gave each other kisses goodbye and we just couldn't pass up getting a picture!

Birthday Girl

This weekend we had Abbey's birthday party. She spent the first part of the morning at the doctor's office. She had a pretty high fever the night before and was complaining of a sore throat. Thankfully she's better, but wasn't feeling her best at the party. She had fun, though! We had a Narnia party and she enjoyed having her family there to celebrate with her. Thanks everyone for making the trip. Happy 6th birthday Abbey!

Happy 6 months of Hannah!

It has been 6 months(today)since Hannah was put in our arms. It has been a very sweet time and we thank God for her! The crying picture is on our way back to our hotel on "gotcha day". You can see she's come along way from that scared little girl to a silly,happy,dancing girl! I think she may have the skills to become a riverdancer! The other picture is of her at home playing dress up with Abbey.

GO BUCKS!!!!!!

Christmas Morning

Here are a couple pictures of the kids Christmas morning. It was so fun to watch them open their presents and Hannah was definately keeping up with her big brother and sister! It was such a special Christmas and we thank God for bringing Hannah to us. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year!!!!

Wildlights and Cookies

Last night we went to the Columbus zoo for the Wildlights display. There are soooooo many lights. It was really beautiful and the kids had a blast.(We did, too!) As bundled up as the kids look in the picture, it really was a warm night. The temperature here in Columbus reached a high of 60 degrees. Is it December???? Today we made cookies and decorated them. Hannah was trying to get in on the decorating, too.

More Christmas at home.....

Here's some more pictures from our "tree cutting down day". The family picture is at the tree farm(inside where we drank some yummy hot chocolate). The other's are at home with the girls enjoying cookies and Hannah in front of our new tree!

Christmas in PA, Doylestown and home

The last few weeks we have been traveling to celebrate Christmas with our families. The weekend after Thanksgiving we went to Pennsylvania for hunting season and Christmas with the Pierces. We had so much fun! Hunting season at the Pierces is a great time to hear old hunting stories and Jason especially looks forward to hanging out at the treestands with the guys. The following weekend we headed to Doylestown(Julie's hometown) to have Christmas with the Johnson's. It was a special time there, too, as we ate really good food and way too many Christmas cookies. The kids loved tearing into their Christmas presents at both places and enjoyed playing with their cousins! Now that we are home this weekend, it was time for the "Pierce family Christmas tree cutting down day". Thankfully the weather was beautiful and we picked out a great one. We had a wonderful time decorating it, too!

Just at home.....

Hi everyone. Nothing too new here with the Pierces. We are really looking forward to the holidays coming up. It will be so nice to spend time with family! Hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Superman, The Little Mermaid and The Little Pumpkin.....

On Tuesday night we went to a Harvest party at a church. The kids had a blast! We went with some of our friends. We went through a Hay Maze and played games. We also came home with alot of candy and even some cakes that Hannah and Abbey won in the cake walk. Noah won a little stuffed animal, too! Hannah stayed up past her bedtime and was loving every minute of it!

Noah's birthday party

This weekend we celebrated Noah's 8 year old birthday.(It's so hard to believe Noah is 8 years old....) His grandparents all came, along with some of his cousins. Uncle Michael, Aunt Mimi and Ava were in on the celebrating, too! We started the morning by going to "Boo at the Zoo". The kids had so much fun dressing up, getting candy, and seeing some of the animals. Then, we had a "sports" pizza party. It was alot of fun. The kids got MORE candy in the pinata. Noah loved all his new gifts, too! It was such a great day!

The 60th Birthday party.....

This weekend we went to PA for Jason's dad's 60th birthday party. It was a surprise, but we think he knew something was coming. It was a great time. The kids had so much fun dancing the "chicken dance." Hannah was getting into the dancing groove, too. We were watching the weather this week and saw that it could snow on Thursday. (SNOW in October!!!!) We thought we'd better get Hannah a winter coat. She is modeling it in the picture. By the way, Noah's soccer team won their game on Sunday. YEAH!!!!
