Happy Birthday To My Angel!

My Sweet and Silly Birthday Girl!

I cannot believe how much I love you!  I fell in love with you before you were even born!  I never thought it was possible to love someone so much!  Just thinking of you and watching you grow into such a beautiful little girl...going from a baby, to a toddler, to a preschooler, and now a kindergartner...well it brings tears to my eyes!  I adore you so incredibly much!  You make my heart sing!  You amaze me!

A Special Visit!

What a great treat!

We got to visit with Jordan & Meagan!!!! It was so great to see Jordan.  The last time we saw him is when he left our house after his high school graduation almost 8 years ago.  Now he's a man about to get out of the Navy and move to Hollywood!  It's insane and makes me feel so old!  The girls adored him. Piper says he's too tall.  Poor Piper, John and I are the tallest people she really ever gets to see.  So to her Jordan is a giant. It was a great visit!

We grilled burgers, the girls ate their standard 1/2 a burger, I ate mine, John ate his, Meagan ate her veggies burgers, and Jordan ate his standard four burgers with no veggies.  Nothing has changed.  Glad to see!  After the burgers, we headed to Cherry on Top for ice cream and then to the new local coffee shop for some coffee.  

Those two where way to deep into thought!

Then to end the night, John, Meagan, and Jordan drank and played the Wii for hours!!!!

I love visits like these and look forward to many many more!!!

Hint hint Jordan and Meagan!

Limo Ride Here I Come!

Presley had a cookie fundraiser at the beginning of the school year and since she sold 15 items she got to participate in a special lunch!  She got to ride in a Hummer Limo with lights and music inside! There were laser lights, rope lights, and Kids Bop was blairing in the background!  Right up a bunch of six year olds alley!  I tell you what, her 1st kinder limo ride puts my 1st 7th grade limo ride to shame!  I'll have to find pics of that very soon!   

Someone is super excited!!!!

Waiting patiently!!!

Everyone was so excited about the limo ride....everyone except Piper!

She was totally bummed she could partake in all of the fun!

One day Piper, you too shall bombard all of your family with catalogs and catalogs of fundraiser stuff and get your limo ride!

Veterns Day

Veterns day was celebrated today at Presley's school.  Here's a few of the guests of honor.  After this picture was taken, there were several more veterns that showed up.  The gym filled up with all of the students and they had the honor of meeting all the veterns.  Each vetern stood and introduced themselves and told who's special guest they were.  After each vetern spoke, you couldn't help but to get a bit teared up and feel proud to know a few!  And feel incredibly thankful to all each and everyone of them for mine and my children's freedoms.  

The girls with their special vetern.  Presley was so proud to show off her daddy!

Piper and I got to sit back and enjoy watching the ceremony.

After the special ceremony, the school had a special little reception for our vets in the library with yummy donuts, orange juice, and coffee (not so yummy though).

After leaving the school,

we decided to go home, hop on our bikes, and have a veterns day picnic at the park. 

I adore this picture of John and his lil' girl.  

This one too.  Prescious moments with her daddy. Piper's a lucky girl.  

Weeeeeee!  Slide race!

Here is that most perfect "Surprised" face that Piper owns.

We were playing hide and seek and I jumped out at her.  Oh my gosh, it was so cute!

By the way, here are a couple more of my special veterns...

My dad!

John's dad!

Happy Veterns Day!!!

A Day in the Life of Piper...

I love having my days to spend with Juliet....it seems that I keep learning more about her every day!  She's still adjusting to her days without her Presley.  She still asks on occasion to go get her sister from school.

On this day, It was all about Piper!  She got to fill up our M&M jar with our new harvest colored M&M's.  YUM!!!!

Piper's way of doing this:

One for the jar...one for Piper's tummy

One for the jar...two for Piper's tummy

One for the jar...three for Piper's tummy

This was her favorite chore of the day!!!!

What a yummy chore it was!!!!

After filling the M&M jar, she strapped on her skates and we headed out to the front yard to have some fun.  Piper's a natural born roller skater!  She loves it!!!

And for lunch, we loaded up the wagon with a blankie, our lunch, and some bread for the ducks then headed to the park!

After lunch and scaring away the ducks, we headed to the playground.

One of Piper's favorite things in the world to do at the park is to play hide and seek.

She has the most gorgeous "surprised" looks!

She also loves slides!!!

See her "happy" face! 

I love my days with Piper!

And I look forward to tomorrow!

I love you, my sweet girl!

Perfect Day For A Fall Walk

Today was Presley's Fall Walk to the local duck pond and playground with her class.  John even got to volunteer to go with us!  Presley and her classmates LOVE it when new moms and dads are able to come up and volunteer!

It was perfect weather for our walk, our picnic, and a trip to the playground!

It was an awesome day!
