Inca

Inca is the best Mexican food ever. Alli loves the salsa. She will eat a whole bowl herself. A lot ends up on her!

mmmm delicious!

oh crazy!!!!

Heather and Jeremy Reed wanted to go out. things are a little nuts in a one bedroom apartment. I just loaded them with sugar and put on a movie! James was a little nuts too. That is a strainer on his head!!

Saturday fun

Today was really fun! We took Alli to the water park and met the Reed boys. We all got a little burned in the Texas sun but enjoyed it none the less. After swimming we got the car washed, wet to the movies then went to the Reeds for dinner. The picture above is of Adrian and Alli. All of the boys love playing with Alli, and Im sure she doesnt mind all of the attention.

Evening walk

We have a really pretty trail behind our apartment in Texas. Being that it is really hot and humid we went on a walk at night. Alli loves her stroller for about twenty min, then she wants to fly!

FIRST DAY OF SWIM LESSONS

TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF SWIM LESSONS AND THE LAST. THE WATER WAS FREEZING AND ALLI WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TEACHER. WE CAME HOME AND SWAM IN OUR WARM POOL AND I TAUGHT HER A COUPLE OF THINGS. BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR!

Thanks so much to Paul and Donna for there beautiful home and delicious food. Alli really enjoyed the corn!

Update and family vacation

Here is just a quick sampleing of pictures from our Moses lake and Seattle trip. Alli and I have been here for about three weeks and James has been back and forth. We will be returning to Dallas on Wednesday and phoenix in about one more month!!!!!! Im very excited to be back in my own house.

Im sure a lot of you know the Piper deck was built 20 years ago for Julie and Steve's wedding. It has not had much help since. It has been the hiding place for many a spiders, skunks and stray cats. A few of the boards(ok a lot of them) have sunk in, and nails were sticking up all over the place. It was not a real safe for children to play or for anyone who weighs more than twenty pounds. So out came the pressure washer and new boards were put in place but not after a full day of removing rotten wood

So now that the deck is safe and looks gorgeous for all Mom's flowers, let the summer fun begin.

Fun times with Natti Davis

Parker and Camery came to visit with their cutie patootie. The last time we saw her she was two or three months old. Now she is almost eight? I think. She and Alli played and miss Nattie can do a mean army crawl. Its pretty funny!

lots of fun in moses lake!!!

Play pick up rocks with grandpa.

Play with uncle Jeffs tractor!
Run around in the grass!

Eat candy that grandma gives us!

Shop at Nordstroms! It is by far one of my favorite places on earth!

Washington

Alli and I I here in Washington and here are some updates:
1.Mom is doing really well after lapband surgery and has lost 10 pounds already!!
2. Alli has played everyday with her cousins shaelie and Carson and the other night with Mandys kids.
3.I have gotten to hang out with Steph, who I adore, but also Mandy who has been in town for the same week. We, growing up, use to play all the time. They only lived two miles from us. Mandy use to scare Steph and I so bad by playing horrible pranks on us. Looking back its funny but at time we were terrified!!
4. Alli loves to go farming with Grandpa Piper and ride around in his truck.
5.Nana gave Alli a ton of new clothes. I mean a ton! Awesome!!!!
6. Alli and I helped Nana plant her infamous flower pots. Alli took all the name tags out of the containers so who knows what they will look like when they bloom..??
7. We got to see Camery, Parker and nattie. nattie is so cute, getting so big, and has a kung fu grip. Oh! and she will be walking so early.....

These are just a few fun things. We have been around the house a lot to take care of our shrinking nana so stay tuned for more fun.....

To be a kid....

Check this out

Check out Alli's one year pics on Melissa Fullmers blog. These are a preview, but so cute. I cant wait to see the rest....

The sight.

I have been recieving some calls concerning the cozy coupe that we found "fair and square" at the dumpster. I think it is pretty clear from these pics that this is indead a dumpster and anything around it trash.

Until there is a "missing" cozy coupe sign we will be keeping it.

Great find!

This was awesome!!! James and I found this by the Dumpster. We stuck it in the shower and sanitized it. Alli loves it. Tomorrow I'm getting it a license plate that says "mini finny". James license says "Finny".
