What's New

Ok So my pictures are out of order but I stink at blogging and cant get them to move around anymore! So sorry. Today was the big day... Precious Piper had her first out-patient surgery. She got her ear tubes put in this morning. This is her on the way to the office. She was in SUCH a good mood (especially since we had to get up at the Bu**-crack of dawn (in curtis' words) ). I felt so bad taking her in when she had such a HUGE smile on her face. But in the end she only cried a TINY bit. Just when they took her away from me. The procedure took literally 10 min. and then they let me back to hold her 'till she woke up - which was only a couple minutes. The anestesiologis said she would not be a happy camper when she woke up but she was - she was SOOOO happy and didn't even think about sniffling. She was such a big girl!! So hopefully we're done with ear infections.

K, yesturday we took Piper on a bike ride and she was so excited! Here she is with her helmet on.

After our bike ride, Curtis decided he needed to go on a little bike ride of his own - just incase he sells the motorcycle (one last ride type thing). He took it around the neighborhood and Piper was so sad that daddy left so I told her Daddy would give her a ride when he got back and sure enough he did. She LOVED it!!! It was SOOOOO cute to watch. Curtis is already planning what bike her wants to get her so they can ride together!

So Curtis is so my handsome prince. He surprised me this weekend with tickets to the Family Cup Circle (tennis tournament). Donald and Julie watched Piper and we had such a fun day date! I loved it. First we saw a doubles match and then we stayed for part of the singles semi-finals. The singles was SOOOO cool and SOOOO fast! It was incredible!

Here's my little dancing star LOVEING watching dancing with the stars with her daddy. (He wasn't so keen on the choice of shows but Piper and I convinced him it was a good choice!) I wated to get a candid picture of her but she kept smiling! But when the camera was down she was SOOOOO intense watching them dance - it was too cute!

Happy Easter

Happy late Easter to everyone. Here are a couple pictures that i could get uploaded (it's taking FOREVER to upload again!!) I'll add more later (with more compentarty!)

Trip to the Beach!

So Piper and I had a way fun adventure today! We kicked off the Summer (spring) with our first trip to the beach - TOTALLY unplanned. The dr. that I'm going to is way down in Mt. Pleasant (close to the beach!!) and I had an apt today... SOOO Piper and I decided to go the beach on a whim! It was supposed to be nasty and rainy today but so far it's been great - cloudy but still great. It was so fun and so spontaneous! We didn't have ANYTHING beachy with us - no sunscreen, towels, Swim diapers, extra clothes - NOTHING! AND It was so great that way - I didn't have ANYTHING to carry!!!!!!! We had such a blast. First Piper wouldn't take her shoes off to play/walk in the sand but after I started exfoliating my feet she gave in. We played in the sand for a couple minuted and then I convinced her to go get our feet wet. On our way to the water we came across the GREATEST "BUBBLES". Piper LOVED them. She ran around stomping on them and screaming "bubbles bubbles". I told her we should get our feet wet and she willingly followed but when the water touched her feet I thought she was going to have a heart attack. Her face was priceless. The water was cold and she did not like it! So we played in the bubbles some more. THEN we saw so way cool beach birds (NOT seagulls although they were there too) and Piper thought it was fun to chase them saying "come on - come on". Join in the fun you silly birds! It was great! My non-daredevil of a child soon became the biggest dare devil EVER and just about chased the dang bird into the ocean - She got over the cold thing REALLY fast and splashed away in the foamy water. She thought it was fun to run out in the water and then run as fast as she could away from the waves when they came. Here she is running from them and pouncing on some "bubbles" along the way. Yeah, she started with all of her clothes on - then the pants came off - then the diaper- and by the end i HAD to take that wet shirt off. Luckily I had a sweatshirt and extra diaper in the car for the ride home. Anyway we had so much fun! She keeps saying "beach - fun". Can't wait to take her agian!

Ultra Sound

So... I FINALLY had my ultrasound today. Sorry no pictures - I don't have a scanner. But they were really cool - we got some of the baby in 3D!!! Way Cool. So we OF COURSE decided to find out what we're haveing and - are you ready - it's a GIRL! WHAWHOOOOOOOO! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO excited! Piper is going to have a little sister! She is going to have so much fun! And I don't have to buy new bedding - I just LOVE Piper's crib stuff and I can't EVER get enough of pink! So yeah! I think Curtis is excited too. He really wanted a boy but he's excited for another daddy's girl. I told him I would root for a boy next time - I just REALLY wanted a girl this time. Anyway, that's the big news of the month.

I a Big Girl Now!

Piper just got some super cute Big Sister shirts from our bestest of friends! She loves them and thought she was so cool today in her big sister shirt. I wanted to get apicture of her pointing at the big sister writing and have her smiling at the same time but this is all I could get. But she was way excited! Thanks Tiff for the super cute shirts! I Love the Valentine's boxes too! they are just adorable! You are so crafty! Thank you Thank you!
This evening Curtis had a meeting for church so Piper and I decided to play uno attack together. She LOVED pushing the button. And thought it was even cooler when it threw cards out at her.

guess what!

So you'll never believe what Piper did... I need to preface this story with telling you that I have been thinking we need to start potty training Piper. I was going to wait until AT LEAST 2 until the past events started happening which made me rethink that decision. She has been taking her diapers off recently and staying eeewwwwyyyyy, yuck, icky etc. Well the other day I was cleaning the kitchen and she came in, threw a diaper in the garbage and started to walk away. At first I thought it was a clean diaper that she finds around - puts on her dolly - then thinks their dirty and throws away. not this time. I looked down and saw she had taken her pants off (something she'd never really done before) and then taken her diaper off. Nothin' but bare bunns. So I think - I'll go buy a potty. Well I don't. SO Here's what happens today. I put Piper down for her usual nap. She doesn't go to bed and instead talks (happens occasionally - but I still make her have quiet time). Well then I start hearing EEEwwwyyyy, Yuck, Poop, icky poop - crying. SO I go in there to see her diaperless standing in the corner of her crib holding her blanket for dear life pointing at two adult size poops in the middle of her bed. Fun! I thought for a sec to take a picture of the sight but then decided there are just some things you don't take pictures of - poop is one of them. So Piper has since had a bath and now we are going to the store to buy a potty.

Birthday Fun!

Yesturday was my big 26 Birthday! We had a lot of fun. Piper was such a good little girl all day and was so fun to be around. Piper decided that her diapers are all icky, including the ones she wears, so I decided to go get a potty for her. Curtis called to see if we wanted to get some lunch so we met him at target and had a yummy hot dog before potty shopping. Piper loves the specific target that we went to yesturday because it has big red balls outside of it. Here she is sitting on one of them. Curtis got off work right at 5 ( or at least REALLY close to it) and piled us all in the car to go to Longhorn steak house. It was SOOOOOO good. I had the best steak of my entire life and piper loved her mashed potatoes! Then it was CAKE time! Piper was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about cake!!!!!! She was practically jumping up and down for it. She helped me blow out my "candle" (match -we ran out of candles) and was even better at helping me eat my cake. It was the BEST cake ever - white with raspberry filling!

Piper thought the bow on the present from grandmommy and daddy was the coolest thing ever and loved helping me open the box. I got some new scrapbooking stuff that I am way excited to try out. I can't wait. Piper and I are going to set up a little craft table today or tomorrow and try it all out. Thanks mom and dad!

Dan and MaryAnn sent a fun fun game we cant wait to try out! Piper LOVES cards and thinks she's such a big girl when we let her sit at the table with us (when we're playing games with Donald and Julie) with her own deck. I can't wait to try out the chalk too - thanks MaryAnn!

Thanks everyone for such a wonderful birthday and for thinking of me!


K - this picture is from this morning. We were eating breakfast and Piper thought it would be so funny to put her feet up. It was pretty cute and she got a kick out of it. Too cute!
