Piper Video

The other two...

6 Week Photo Shoot

I wanted to get some pics of Piper because she is getting bigger but I wanted to do them myself... inside. I have never been able to get the lighting right for indoor shots but I was pretty happy with some from today:)

She slept like a perfect little model for over an hour in that basket and I pretty much took pics the whole time.

I think I captured her the way she really is... super sweet!

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;)
