Just a little update on Sister Girl...


Piper has still been sleeping great, even with all the traveling chaos. She's been waking up somewhere around 6:30 and after I feed her she falls back to sleep for a while.
We decided to buy some disposables diapers for our trip because we didn't think we'd have room to lug around dirty cloth diapers. She had 2 leaky diapers. This was her first time to have a leaky diaper, we've never had that with our cloth diapers. They were yucky, too. She leaked poo poo all over 2 of her outfits:(. Luckily I brought one cloth diaper to wear with her wedding outfit so she didn't have any embarrassing moments at the wedding:).

Pool time

Here are a couple of pics of the boys having fun in the pool this weekend. Andrew loved jumping off the diving board!


Amy's wedding aka mini vacation

We went to Amy's wedding this weekend and had a great time. The kids were ridiculously GOOD! Andrew and Parker were perfect the entire way there and back. Piper was really, really good, too. She cried a total of about an hour and a half during the 7 hour trip on the way there and about an hour on the way back. She discovered her love for the pacifier on the way there:). She's NEVER taken a pacifier at all but I had one in the diaper bag and we decided to give it one more try. Poor Cam did some nerve damage in his arm trying to keep it in her mouth from the front seat.
We stayed at Cameron's aunt and uncle's house. They had a pool house and let us stay there. It was wonderful!! They have a beautiful pool and a wonderful hot tub. Andrew loved the hot tub. I said, "would you like it if mommy and daddy got a hot tub?" he said, "NO.... would YOU like it if Andrew and Parker got a hot tub?"... how funny!
The boys carried a banner down the aisle in the wedding and did a really good job. Cam only stayed in the ceremony for about 10-15 minutes and then went out with all of the kids to go find squirrels in the trees. Poor Cam... it was HOT! Parker found the only little mud puddle outside and fell in it:)... he was sad he got his clothes dirty. After he and Andrew got dressed up Parker kept saying they were the boys of rock n roll. It's a song off of a chipmunk movie. It was soooo funny! He kept singing it over and over!




The Happy Couple.....

This weekend we went to Amy and Brian's wedding. It was beautiful. Here are a couple of pics of the happy couple.

Still sleeping:)

It's a little after seven in the morning and sweet Piper Jane is still sleeping:). She was last fed a little before 9:00 last night and went to sleep around 9:30. Wooohoooo!!! Soooo... did I get tons of sleep.... well unless you count Andrew coming in around 3:00 and Parker arriving around 4:30. We're going to have to have a talk with those little munchkins. It's so strange because Park never use to come to snuggle. This is probably only his 4th or 5th time ever to come in. Andrew, on the other hand, he's a world renown snuggler but he usually doesn't come in SO early.

Randomness...

No water got through those goggles!!:)

Tomorrow is Andrew's last day of swim lessons. He's doing really good at swimming but even better at blabbing!! He talks to his teacher more than he swims. He must get all that talking from Cameron.:) This week we've moved both boys to the bunk bed. Andrew is sleeping on top and Parker is on the bottom bunk. They've done really well, besides the two nights we were awakened by shrieking screams. The first night, Park had a nightmare that a transformer was coming after him. Andrew was horrified from Park's screams and he started screaming. Last night, Andrew was trying to come sleep in our room and had a hard time opening his door. He thought he was locked in so he started SCREAMING and of course that scared Park and he began to SCREAM!! I'm not sure how but Piper slept through all of the screaming both nights. After Andrew got in our bed to snuggle he said, "You feel like you just got out of the washing machine"... he meant dryer because I was warm and he was cold:).
Last night Piper slept the longest she's slept so far. She slept from 9:30 - 5:00. She almost always sleeps until 3:00 or 3:30 so we were excited about 5:00. She is doing really well. We're able to lay her down on her belly now and she soothes herself to sleep after just a couple of minutes. She usually takes about 2 naps in the day time and usually just one in the evening. She really is liking her bumbo and today we pulled out a walker to see if she wanted to sit in it. She liked it but not as much as her big bubbies:). (by the way... pics were taken with my iPhone:)

Just in case you were wondering...

we're still trying to win the war against the brown recluse that are invading our home. Our bug guy came out on Friday and fogged the house and attic. Since then we've found several dead brown recluse and even some dead BABIES!!! great.... no telling how many babies there are crawling around here!!! I was pretty excited thinking that the fog killed them all but then we found some in our glue traps and they were still alive, stuck like there's no tomorrow BUT still ALIVE!! Ugghhh... one of them was in a glue trap right by the foot of our bed. Needless to say I didn't sleep much last night. So since yesterday we know that we have at least 8 less LIVING brown recluse in the house.

Funnies:
Today we were eating fried shrimp and Andrew took a bite and the entire shrimp came out into his mouth and he said, "Look, I took a bite of the shrimp and the whole chicken came out of it":)
