Our Weekend

This weekend was the first time in a while that we had NO PLANS or anything we had to do. Belle was supposed to have her last soccer game Saturday but it was re-scheduled due to rain. We decided to take advantage of the day and go to the Dallas zoo for the first time. It was perfect outside and the animals were very active.

There was plenty to see and the kids had a blast!

Cashe is a natural "goat herder"

Belle took her time getting to know the goat but eventually warmed up and touched it;)

Can you feel the luuuv?

Here is Miss Piper on Sunday morning

She looks a bit concerned about Cashe being so close...

Cute girl

Here are some recent pics of Piper... she is getting so big!

Belle scores her first goal!!!

Belle's soccer game this morning was definitely the most exciting one so far because she scored her first goal! She got the ball at one end of the field and took it all the way back down to the net (the right end of the field and all;). She fought off boys and everything and looked like a pro:)

I can't say she got any of this ahtletic ability from me but I am proud none-the-less...

Go #7!

BTW- I got pics of her taking it all the way down the hill but the moment she was about to score I was a little busy jumping up and down that I didn't get it on camera, bummer!

"I'm gonna beat you up!"

The past couple days...

What a natural!

Cashe "dribbled" the ball up and down the field... I think we have another soccer star in the family;)

Oh come on Daddy, can't you hold Piper too??!!

Where are the kids?

It has become a tradition for Blake and I to take a pic together on our anniversary... without any kids in the shot! I realized that it has seriously been a year since we have taken a picture together alone, haha:) We were invited to a charity dinner for a children's home and it happened to fall on our anniversary. So here we are all dressed up and ALONE (Piper is on the couch;)

PS. Aren't my shoes AMAZING! I seriously about killed myself and Piper several times walking in them but they look so great it just doesn't matter.

Anyway, its out 6 year anniversary today and I thought you might like to see a quick run-down of what has happened in that short time:

- 5 moves (2 states)

- 2 home purchases

- 2 college graduations

- 2 job changes (Blake)

- 1 dog (anyone want a dog??)

... Oh yeah, and 3 KIDS!

Seriously, we made it through these years and came out ok and I am convinced we can make it through anything now, haha! I am excited to see what the next 6 years throws at us (hopefully not another 3 kids;)

No need for words...

Sweet Sister

Belle loves to hold Piper and this morning she even sang to her...

Make me smile...

They can be monsters (my loving nickname for the kids) at times but they are so stinkin' cute!

P is for Piper

Well, last week was a little hectic. It was my first week alone with all three kids and Belle and Cashe both ended up with strep... YUCK! They are both doing well now though so hopefully this week is a little less eventful:)

I have to admit that going from 2 to 3 kids has been harder than I expected! Piper is great but poor Cashe doesn't know what's going on and is having to "grow up" a little faster than he is ready to. Every time I turn around he is up on the middle of the table, or crawling over Piper, or opening a closet door (yes he also learned that trick this week). My mom said I need to have a recording contstantly going of my voice saying "No Cashe, get down from there... Cashe, get out of there... Cashe, I said no!" Haha! That would definitely save me some trouble:) I am hoping that in a month or two he will catch on a bit and things can calm down again.

On the bright side, Belle has been such a big helper and loves having a baby sister. She's such a sweetheart:)

Anyway, here is a few pics of the sweet baby... I can't believe she is 3 weeks old already!
