Pearson's 3rd Birthday!

We had a great time celebrating Pearson's 3rd birthday! He is such a blessing to us! We were very excited to have most of our family with us to celebrate. Which was very different for us as all other parties have been filled with our special C/S friends, who we missed very much this year. He requested a baseball party for months so that is what we had! He was very blessed with lots of new goodies. Thank you all for sharing this special day with us!

Where has 3 years gone?


I truly cannot believe that our precious James Pearson turns 3 on Sunday!! So many thoughts run through my brain when I think about his birthday, so I thought I would blog them.

Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday we learned that God was going to bless us immensely with a precious child! What a precious day that was! Oh my and then the day I held him in my arms, was even more amazing.

Here a few Pearsonisms to share:
-He loves baseball! Loves to watch it, play it, read about it, wear it! You name it, baseball is the game these days! He has two shirts that are his absolute favorite shirts and they are in revolving order in the washing machine. Every morning he asks me "My baseball shirt dry, Mommy?" Here he is wearing one famous shirt with Daddy and in the other sweet pic he and his brother are reading baseball books. Some mornings he even tells me that Aaron wants to wear a baseball shirt too!



-He can sing "Take me out to the ballgame" perfectly!




-He loves routine, books, singing, playing, swimming, football and baseball!
-He has so many of his sweet Daddy's mannerisms and tendencies. He does not have a love for sweets, which is also his Daddy in him. He would rather eat a carrot than a cookie! He's not my son on that one!
-Thankfully, he still takes an awesome afternoon nap. He loves to sleep with so many other wonderful toys and books in his bed with him too.
-He has the sweetest, tender heart and spirit. He is caring, compassionate and loving.My favorite ongoing conversation goes like this: "Hey, Mommy!", "Yes, Pearson?", "I wub you!" to which I respond, "I love you too, precious!"
- He has a normal sibling relationship with his sweet younger brother, Aaron. He loves him and hugs him in the morning and then an hour later he is pushing him away. Overall they are best buds, but they have their moments too.

We are gearing up for a baseball themed party and are very excited to celebrate God's gift in Pearson this weekend! More to come... Stay tuned!

Summer Fun 2010



We have had an awesome summer adjusting to the Texas heat and connecting with family and friends. We are really enjoying the town we are living in. We love being closer to family for planned and impromptu gatherings. I decided to make a slide show and share a lot of pics at once. We have had a lot of fun playing with all of our family and cousins. I went to girls night out with the girls on my side of the family. We hosted a family get together for burgers and hot dogs. Pearson did great in swim lessons with his shades on. Brian and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary away for a night from our precious boys! We went to the Fort Worth Children's Museum with my sister and her precious babes. We even got to see our dear CO friends, Mark and Susan a few times! Overall, we had a lot of fun in the sun!

Brian is now in full swing with his new position as an athletic director at a brand new middle school and while we miss him we are so proud and excited for him!
