brave like Merida

Piper had to get her blood drawn today to test her milk allergy. Mama took her and Gigi stayed with Kikis while I was at school. Piper was so brave. She didn't cry or anything! I'm so proud of you, baby princess! The nurses even gave Piper a stuffed turtle for being so brave. Just like Merida!

county fair

Mommy and Daddy take us to the county fair every year. We really enjoy seeing all the animals and riding the carnival rides. This time Parker was big enough to ride with us!




let's hear it for our boys

Carly and Piper sit on the sidelines of our soccer games to cheer us on. Parker plays first and then Cam and I play. Carly and Piper are our biggest fans!

allergist

Piper has a pretty severe milk allergy. We really have to watch her. She has to see her allergy doctor every year for a check-up. Her reaction is still really strong!

lobster

Parker and I always look in the lobster tank at Meijer. It's our favorite part of grocery shopping. Today, the butcher offered to take one out so we could touch it!  I wasn't going to go anywhere near that scary lobster. Parker did though. He touched it a bunch of times. He thought it was cool. I didn't. The butcher said maybe next time I'll touch it... I think not!

soccer stars

Today was our first soccer game of the fall season. Parker is playing too. My game was first. I scored my first goal ever!!  Mama was so proud. The whole family was there to see it :)  Parker did great at his game too. It was really hot out though so players were fading fast. All in all it was a good set of games. Can't wait to play again next week!

2 year check

Piper had her two year check up today. Parker and I went to Gigi's while Mama took Piper. She is 36" tall and tips the scales at a mere 24.5 pounds. She is the skinniest of all three of us at this age, and she is the best eater. How funny is that?!?

Party for our princess

Today we celebrated Piper's 2nd birthday. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a great time. Was so nice to visit with family and friends that were able to attend. The kids enjoyed the swimming part the most ;)  The most dramatic part of the evening was when Parker took a long tumble out of the swingset. Reminiscent of my fall back in 2011. He's ok though. And the party carried on well into the night. Parker and I stayed up until 11:15!  The lastest ever!
