Fun with Nay Nay and Charlotte

The Parnell guys had a get together in Little Rock, so Pearce and I headed to Dallas for some fun with cousins.  Pearce could not wait to get there....I picked him up from school a little early and we got there right when they were getting out of school.  There was constant laughing, wrestling, and messes, but always tons of fun.  Pearce was so excited to finally get to play on Nay Nay's new X-Box.  We took them to a jump place, ate sushi (well, Ash and I did....they got chicken), got to play with a new basset hound puppy, and I helped Ashley clean out and organize her closet!  It was a fun weekend, but oh so sad when we left.  Pearce now goes into a seriously sad state whenever we have to leave Nay Nay and Charlotte.  Like, he cries for a lot of the way home, cries whenever he thinks about them or their names are mentioned, and cries when he sees pictures of them.  It's really so sad to me.  This lasts for a couple of days and then he's ok, but he constantly asks when he gets to see them again.  I'm so happy he loves his sweet cousins and that they love him just as much!

Easter '18

For Easter this year, we decided to stay home instead of going to Dallas since Spring Break and Easter were so close together.  Plus, I was going to see Ashley in a couple weeks and we did just get to see Mama.  We had a very busy past few weeks, so we needed to  have a laid back Easter.  Unexpectedly, Daddy had to go to Little Rock to check on GG, so it was just Pearce and I for our long weekend.  Pearce was a little sad to not have Daddy, so I made sure we did some extra special fun things!  We met Christie and Ridley on Friday to see the Easter Bunny, played at the mall, and then ate dinner there.  Then Saturday, we went to Sweet Eats Fruit Farm for their egg hunt and to have some outdoor fun.  We LOVE this place!  We always manage to spend hours and hours here and the kids are still not ready to go!  It was such a pretty day, which made our visit extra nice!  That evening Pearce and I colored our Easter eggs.  We did them the traditional way with the color tabs and also tried a new way using cool whip and food coloring.....that was so much fun and the color turned out marbled and a lot brighter!  Pearce was eager to go to bed early that evening so that he could wake up to see what the Easter Bunny had left him :)  Since Daddy wasn't able to be with us, Christie invited us to have Easter lunch with her and her family which was so nice!  They had a big egg hunt for the kids and of course, Pearce and Ridley just loved playing together!  So thankful for my sweet friends!!!!
