Pretty Piper is One!

Well I couldn't keep her from turning one. (sigh). She is just such a big girl now and still so sweet. I have loved getting her birthday celebration together and thinking about the happiness she has added to our family. 

Some things about Piper: 

- Takes two naps and goes to bed about 8pm

- She is obsessed with books and carries them to me and Jake or pretty much anyone that will stop and read to her.

-She's standing on her own but not really walking yet. (The latest of all my babies)

- She loves the back yard swing.

-She doesn't love it when the kids try to carry her. She really only trusts mommy and daddy and Jessy. 

- She loves animals and wants to touch them

-She's eating everything we are eating

-No teeth yet!! But she eats like she's got a full mouth of them

- She loves frozen gogurts

- Pretty good little sleeper. Sleeps great in her own room

- Loves her binkie

Another Hangernel Awards

Well! We didn't get around to having our family awards on the weekend of the Academy Awards but everyone still wanted to do it so we made it happen! I have to say Jess really pulled out all the stops this year with her costume! If it wasn't already totally obvious you can see that she is Justin Beiber and Charly is Salena Gomez. HA! Amazing right?! I giggle everytime I look at the pictures of her. 

Zoey went as "Tay Tay Swift" and she had Piper be Taylor Swift's cat. Piper seems to do well as a cat whenever she needs a costume. Logan was Batman. Easy. Jake was Steve Jobs. Also perfect!! So impressed with my creative sister and husband! And then there was me....too stressed out by the planning of it all to really come up with anything good..... but I was in all black as a stage crew person. 

It was fun times. Everyone tried to be creative. We had everyone prepare a small notes for someone in the family. I liked this way better then doing ballots and it gave everyone a chance to think of the great qualities of those in the family. 

  

Honk! If You Think I'm Cute!
