Happy Birthday Brandall

It was my little brother's, who is not so little anymore, birthday last week.  Brandall turned 24.  His friends surprised him buy leaving balloons and gifts ALL OVER THE HOUSE!!  He is definitely one loved guy!

My favorite gift was the angry birds onsie pajamas he is rocking.

Happy Birthday Brandall!

The Evans clan came for a visit

Tren's sister, Meagan, and her adorable family came to visit us for the weekend a few weeks back.  Tory flew out and met us here too!  It was fun having most of the family together.  (we were only missing Pa pa).

Piper had all the attention she could ever ask for.  She LOVES her cousins Hudson and Grady.  They were so good at playing and holding her.  Piper also adores her Uncle Jon.  (lets just say, she loves the boys of the family!)  Ha, what a girl!

Here is Grady feeding Piper.  He did such a great job! 

 Hudson is quite the baseball player, so we took a tour of the Coors field.  We had a lot of fun.

 The Grandkids

Meagan and I couldn't resist re-enacting what the coach/players might be saying for media after a loss.  (I think we did pretty good)

My baby girl is growing up!  She's 7 1/2 months old!

 Daddy and Pip

Tren, Meagan and the kids

We had so much fun having them visit us!  We did lots of shopping and eating out!  It was sad to see them go!  Pip was the most upset, seeing how she was expecting me to continue giving her all the attention she was use to getting which doesn't allow for much to get done around the house!  I hope they can make it out again soon!  We love having visitors!



7 months old

This little cutie is now 7 months old 

(well, she was 2 weeks ago... I just can't seem to keep up with blogging sometimes)

*She now has 3 teeth - the top teeth have been awful compared to the bottom teeth.  I think both Pip and I are done with teething!  No fun!

*Army crawls like a champ - but still not crawling (mom is encouraging her to take her time)

*Likes to get up on all fours but hasn't figured out how to move like that

*Continues to adore her dog Diesel

*Loves finger foods and her vegetables

*Says mama (melts my heart)

*Still nursing like a champ

*Loves talking to the 'baby' she sees in the mirror (so cute)

*Piper is VERY close to pulling herself up to a standing position

*Can stand pretty well when holding on to something

*Loves 'playing' with other kids

*Big mommy's girl right now and I am loving every second of it

*Feeding once at night but still gets up about 2-3 times a night

We sure love this little munchkin!

Best Friends

Piper and Diesel

I just love watching these two play together!

Halloween

Piper's first Halloween!  

She was such a happy cowgirl, even with the hundreds of pictures mom and dad were taking!

Our friends invited us to go with them to a trunk or treat which was a lot of fun.  Piper loves hanging out with her friend Emma!  We then went out for ice cream and finished off the night at home passing out candy and catching up on Dexter!  We sure had fun!

Mom and Piper

 Piper just adores her daddy!  I love this picture!  I couldn't get her to look at the camera for the life of me!  I guess Daddy is just to handsome!

 Our happy little cowgirl!  I can't get enough of this girl's smiles and giggles!

 Off we go to the trunk or treat!

 Piper and Emma.  They are 3 months apart and they have so much fun babbling, squealing and grabbing at each other!

Halloween was a success!  We can't wait until next year when Pip can walk!
