Piper Turned 2!!

2011-09-07T13:10:00.000-07:00

Well, Miss Piper Lynn turned 2 this past weekend, and we had a small little party for her. She didnt quite know what to think of it all, but had so much fun in her new bouncy house, and eating her favorite Tilapia and asparagus, then ending it with homemade ice "ceam" cake. Brent and I are so proud of her and all that she does. We cant wait to for our next little addition to make their way next January to add to all our fun.

Easter!!!

Few more pics :-)

2011-04-13T07:31:00.000-07:00

Time sure flys!!!

2011-04-11T13:02:00.000-07:00

Its sure has been a really busy 3 months since I updated on here. Brent came home from deployment, and weve been having quite a bit to deal with, with it all, but things are finally starting to feel like normal again. Well, a new normal anyways. Piper and daddy are getting to know one another and have so much fun playing and doing all the things that Piper loves to do. And daddy is even showing Piper how to do his favorite things like video games and reading. Piper is 19 months old now, and just had her check up last week and is doing awesome! She is 25 pounds and 33.5 inches long. Doctor was very impressed with all the words and body parts that she knows and can point to and say. We are very proud to be her parents, and just love seeing all the new and exciting things she will be teaching us every new day. Hope all is well with everyone else, sending you all much love and joy!

We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday! Piper was beyond spoiled and it was such a nice time spending it with both the Beck's and Taylor's! All grandparents and Aunts and Uncles. So much love. Here are a few of the shots from the weekend and from the snow today that we got! Looking forward to a New Year!! Can't believe another one is already upon us. Here is to hope for a much deserved better new year.

Fun weekend!

2010-12-13T18:27:00.001-08:00

We had a really nice weekend! Uncle Tyler came up to Seattle and stayed with us and hung out! And on Sunday we went over to the Bigg's house for a Christmas party for the kiddos! Piper had a massive cookie overload and loved every minute of it! Charlene decorated one with her and it was all down hill from there! ;-) We had such a great time!

Look what I can do Ma!!

2010-12-01T19:06:00.001-08:00

So, Miss Piper Lynn thinks its pretty fun to feed herself now. Well, she's been feeding herself for a while now, but now she wants to use spoons and forks to do it. Little stinker. ;-) Here are some funny ones from the other day!

Wow has it been a while! And whats this white stuff?!?!

2010-11-22T15:29:00.000-08:00

Its been a loooong while since updating this darn thing, so I figured I would real quick! Piper is just changing so much everyday and getting so big and learning new things always! We are pretty active with all that we do and she is just so much fun. I love exploring this world through her eyes. Hope you enjoy some pics from our first snow today! We had a blast!!

We turned 1!!!!

2010-09-08T15:01:00.001-07:00

Well, Miss. Pipes turned 1 whole year old this last Sunday September 5th!! We had a nice day, had some family over and had some great food, and some yummy Trophy cupcakes to celebrate! Got to open up daddys gift that he sent! A Strawberry Shrotcake blanket!! We missed him horribly and it was a hard day having him gone, but as always he was here in our hearts. Today we also took Piper to her 1 year appointment and she is 21.12 pounds and is almost 30 inches long! Doctor said after looking in her mouth that she has her molars that will be coming in shortly. So along with her eye teeth on top, she is now working on those bad boys as well. Poor babe. This kid can pump out the teeth I tell ya! We are also leaving for England this coming Monday, so we are excited about that too! Its been a great year so far, so here are some pics, out of about 300, for you to enjoy from sunrise to sunset of Miss One Year Old Booga!!

Well, well, well...

2010-09-02T15:15:00.001-07:00

Oh whats that Mom? Ohh! These are YOUR glasses? Interesting dear Watson. You'll never get them back! Muuuaaaahhh!

Just minding my business, minding my business, thats all! ;-)

Wish I could read this! But alas I have NO glasses!

Thats fine, I will just do some cheesey grins for ya

Silly kiddo with food all over her!

Those eyes! That smile!

Some new ones for daddy!!

2010-08-30T21:09:00.000-07:00

Grandma lets me stand on the counter anytime I want!

I had soo much fun with Auntie Keeley today!

Mmmm, Dora tastes so good..

Woohoo!

Love and miss you soo much Dad!!

Well, we are less than a week away from the big ol party! This Sunday Miss Pipes will be 1 whole year old. Lucky little girl got a present sent to her from Kuwait this last weekend, and we can't wait to open it to see what it is!! Were almost half way through the deployment now! Thank God! We miss our Boodie so, so much everyday. I can't wait to just get a hug and to see his face when I talk to him. And most of all, I can't wait for Piper and her daddy to see each other and for him to see just how big his little girl is getting. This morning we were watching Sprout before we got out of bed, and they were singing "If your happy and you know it" and when they clapped their hands, she clapped her hands! And when they stomped their feet, well she did that too! And to top it all off, when they yelled horray, by golly she was right on top of that one you gotta know! Smarty pants. Well dad, hope you enjoy these pics of your lovie! We post them with love for you to see!!

This Boogie is hot hot hot!!

2010-08-16T15:39:00.001-07:00

We are hot and crazy today!! I was being hilarious to her today!

It was hot hot hot at Gramma and Grampas yesterday!

Gramma did another pedicure on me so I have pretty feet again!

Well, we are coming up fast to someones 1st birthday here in a few weeks! And we are also getting ready to go to England to visit out friend Vicky to on the 13th! That should be so much fun! We have had a few super hot days here, which for us is not the norm. Poor Brent though has been having it even hotter, so cant really complain! Hope that you all are enjoying your summer!!

Such a funny kiddo!

2010-08-04T09:30:00.000-07:00

Just delivering the mail today!

Hey mom! I got a bill for ya to pay! haha!

Oh my eyes are so pretty and blue!

Im so funny!

Get over it! So cute!

Piper cracks me up with how smart she is! I got up to get some more coffee, and she put this piece of mail in her mail carrier and is pushing it all around the house! She is obviously feeling better, her fever is gone, and her bumps are still here, but no new ones today, so that's great! She also now says "thank you" and when we play patty cake, she rolls it! Oh those chunker monker arms rolling it is just to damn cute I tell ya! She also likes to wave when we say hi or goodbye now too. She will be 11 months tomorrow and I just don't even know where the time has gone. She is loving to learn about what all the body parts are and really studies people and how they talk and act. She mocks me all the time! Guess I need to start watching myself now too! Don't need her saying something naughty now do we?!?! ;-)

Poor Booga :-(

2010-08-02T18:41:00.000-07:00

Aren't I perrty?!?! Daddy!! Look at my toes?!?! ;-)

Chunky, sweet lil toes

Auntie Keeley put a flower in my hair

Just walking around at Gramma and Grampas

My poor rash

But I am happy cause I got some more Ibuprofen!!

Well, Poor Booga got a icky virus called hand foot and mouth. She has had a nasty fever this weekend and is back to only wanting to breast feed. Turns out she has soars in her throat and all over her body. The fever should only last 4-5 days and the rash will go away in about 10. She is not a happy camper. A couple other shots are of her nicely painted toes done by Gma Taylor and her just walking around the house. She does not crawl anymore, cause she is just too cool for school! We have talked to Brent, and he is hot as all get out, with the temps reaching in the 140's! UGH! But he is doing well and working hard as always. We miss him so so much and I think about him all day, everyday. I count down the days till he gets to come back home and we are a family once again. Hope you all are enjoying the nice sunshine that we have been able to have lately!

2010-07-28T17:04:00.000-07:00

Playing with Bro Bro!! Yeah!! I gots me some perrty blue eyes!!

I am so funny!

Mmm, crackers!

Mom! You crack me up!!

This face made me crack up!

What a face little lovie!

Playing on the slide with Auntie Keeley!

I am soooo cute!!

Well, here are a few new shots from Piper this last week. She is just a little lovie she is! Not too much crawling anymore, mostly walking everywhere! Lord help me. But, Brent is doing really well. Weather is frickin hot, he said it was 150 degrees today! Oh hell to tha nah!! Poor love! But he is finally starting to work for what he was training for the last 3 months for, so that is nice. We miss him terribly every day. Piper goes up to his pictures and "pets" him and coos as she looks at him. Makes me sad, but it is very sweet. Hope all is well with all of you and yours!

2010-07-15T12:59:00.000-07:00

Well, Brent left yesterday and he should be arriving anytime now to his new home for the next 8 months. Hoping to hear from him to know he arrived safely, but know we may not. Got some cute pics from Pipes over the last couple of days! Including her new USMC lil onsie we got her down at MCRD. I will keep this updated if we hear anything new from Brent! Please keep him and all the other men and women in your prayers! Thanks.

San Diego visit before Brents deployment

2010-07-12T15:02:00.000-07:00

We had a great time going down to San Diego for 12 days being able to spend some time with Brent before he leaves this Wednesday. We went to Sea World, spent some time at Seaport Village, toured the Midway, went to Downtown Disney and just had some great quality time together. It was great for Brent to see just how much in the last 2.5 months how much Piper has changed and to play with her since she is just so much fun now! We love Brent so much and cant wait for the next 8 months to fly by (we hope) so that we can be a family all together once again!

This is the pier that Brent has been working off of with the boats

A few new ones

2010-05-28T16:08:00.000-07:00

Piper and Iz at her Graduation from Preschool yesterday!! We love our Izzy girl!!

Another one of the girls!

Pipes with Maegan waiting for Iz to walk!
Mmmm, Grandma Taylor gave me ice cream!

Check out my new ride yo!!

Sleeping so sweet!

Well, Miss Piper Lynn is gonna be 9 months old next week! Cant believe how fast this time has gone by! She is crawling everywhere, standing all on her own and wanting to walk and is trying so badly to know how. She is just the sweetest little love. Her hair that fell out is growing in like mad! She has been yelling MOM at me this last week instead of momma! Brent has been gone for a month now, man that has flown by too! I cant wait to see him in July before he heads overseas. He is gonna be shocked at how much piper has changed! We love and miss him every second of everyday!!!

Mothers Day

2010-05-10T15:41:00.000-07:00

Oh man, she was pooped by the end of the day! Sleeping on Grandma. Piper and Auntie Keeley

I love my Grandma!

I love my Uncle Logan!

Well, yesterday was mothers day and we had a lovely day. Spent a great morning over at Kyle and Shaylee's for brunch with both their parents and so much yummy food! And then headed over to my folks for the rest of the afternoon. Wish Brent could have been here to share my first official mothers day with us, but its all good. There was so much love to go around! Hope you all had a wonderful mothers day as well!!

Early Mothers Day fun!!

2010-05-08T16:39:00.000-07:00

Had a lovely brunch with a few of my cousins and one of my Aunties at the Salish Lodge today. My cousin Maegan treated us to a wonderful brunch with lovely food, wonderful gifts and warm conversation. I'm so lucky to have such amazing loved ones I tell ya! Here is a few pics from our day!

Eight months old! (A day late!)

2010-05-06T15:08:00.000-07:00

Well, Miss. Piper Lynn turned 8 months old yesterday! She is just a smidge under 20 pounds, has 10 teeth, 6 on top and 4 on bottom, and has now learned to pull herself up onto furniture! I got some shots above here, not in enough time to catch her pulling herself up, but just as she got up. I ordered a video recorder this week to start catching more stuff now that Brent has left. He is in San Diego and doing well. He will be there till July and then off to Iraq he goes. We will beable to go see him in July before he leaves and wont see him till next year. We miss him so much, but are so proud of him and everything that he is doing. We love you Dad!!!

Its been a while!

2010-04-23T08:10:00.000-07:00

Its been a bit since I have updated on here! Weve been pretty busy with Brent leaving next week for deployment. But Piper is growing so much everyday! She is just a smidge under 20 pounds! Size 12 month clothes now. She is sooo close to either walking or crawling it isnt even funny! She pulls herself up onto everything she can these days! We have 6 teeth with 2 more trying to pop their way on through! She has said momma and dadda so far and loves to jibber jabber all day long! Cant wait till I can know what the heck she is saying! We laugh and play and just enjoy her always! She is just so much frickin fun! Even with all the teething!! Here are some recent pics over the last month from our trips to the zoo, aquarium and seeing Brents family this last weekend! Piper was loving the baby in the mirror as you can see! Silly girl!

More new pics!

2010-03-26T09:34:00.001-07:00

Family Pics

2010-03-15T16:28:00.001-07:00

We had some family pics taken this weekend by my dear friend Siobhan who is a photographer, and here are a few of them till she edits the rest of them and we get them for our very own! I wish Booga would have smiled a bit more, but these faces are so her! So serious!!

Just a few funny ones!

2010-03-06T14:16:00.001-08:00

Moms so crazy!

Did she just say what I think she said?!?!

Oh no she didn't!!!

Mmmm, I'm gonna eat you finners!!!

I'm so frickin silly! Just a few funny shots of Pipes! She was crackin me up with these faces!!! Enjoy em!

6 months old today!!!

2010-03-05T08:12:00.000-08:00

Love my new high chair!!

Im so silly!

Come and eat with me!

Wow how fast does time fly! Piper is 6 months old today! She is really changing so much everyday. She is really trying to crawl, has her second bottom tooth, and loves to mouth mamamamamamama to me. She really watches your mouth when you talk to her now. Loves to scream really high and laugh. Brent and I are just so happy that we get to be her mommy and daddy. She is love.

I fought with the laptop and the laptop won

2010-02-17T19:59:00.001-08:00

Im better mom, its all good!

Piper has been really interested with Boodie being gone in my laptop since we skype with him everyday, and tonight she lunged for it and got this nice little cut from the side of it on her nose. She cried, and now its all good. First of many I know, Daddy will be so proud to see she is carrying on in his footsteps of scars! Lord help me!

Happy Valentines Day!

2010-02-14T21:25:00.000-08:00

Not feeling so hot mom...

I guess I'll smile for ya!
Ok, heres another one! Stop making me laugh!

Mmmm, finners sound like a good way to end it.

Well, our Valentines day was pretty quiet. Piper is not feeling so good, so it was a rough little night. But this morning, we opened up cards via skype with Boodie and just mainly chilled all day. Kyle, Shaylee and Iz had us over for dinner, and it was oh so yummy and sweet of them to share with us. Even with Pipes not feeling all that well, I got a few good shots of her to share!

Piper got her first tooth!!!

2010-02-08T22:27:00.000-08:00

Ugh, I am pooped!

Who?!?! Me?!?!

MMMM, finners!!

Whats up!?!

Just hanging out!!

Just thought I would share some cute pics that I took this weekend! Piper got her first tooth on Friday, her 5 month bday!!! It is just insaine how quickly these kiddos grow I tell ya! Soo glad that Brent was here for it. He is at a school in Virginia for the next couple of weeks, and its hard on him when he misses things. But she saved her first sharp little toofer for him!!!It's her bottom front left that is poking its little head on up and through! She is also trying to crawl. She has the whole going backwards down, now she just has to figure out how to move her arms forward now. Crazy kiddo!!

5 months old today!!!

2010-02-05T09:55:00.001-08:00

Such a happy babe!!

I cant figure out to turn these pics around

Such a card she is!

Just cant believe how fast time is flying!! Our Booga, thats what we call her, is 5 months old today! She is learning new things always, and is starting to want to crawl, just cant seem to figure out what to do with those darn arms of hers. 6 month clothes are way to small for her, so I had to pack all those up earlier this week. She is just such a sweet little girl, and we are so blessed that she is ours.

Grandma and Uncle Ty came to visit this weekend!

2010-02-01T10:07:00.000-08:00

Grandma Beck and Uncle Tyler came to visit this weekend! We had a fun time chatting and playing with Piper! She is just getting so big! Cant believe she is going to be 5 months this Friday! We also had fun going to celebrate Shaylee's birthday Saturday night too!! All around a great weekend!!!

First taste of Rice cereal!!

2010-01-16T19:44:00.001-08:00

Piper had her very first taste of rice cereal tonight and really liked it! She ate from the spoon really good too. Tried to give it to her in a bottle, but she is still only breast fed so a bottle to her is foreign and that kinda made her mad, so we stuck to the spoon. We have waited till she showed us an interest in food, and the last couple days, she has been opening her mouth as we eat and reaching for our food, so we took that as our go ahead that she is ready. Sad that this time is already here, but so exciting that she is getting bigger and bigger everyday! Now we need to get a highchair! Oh lord!

4 months old already?!?!

2010-01-06T16:53:00.000-08:00

Piper turned 4 months old yesterday and had her check up today! She is 16.6 pounds!! And 26 inches long. Dr. Haussen said she looks perfect and was quite impressed that she had turned over two weeks ago! She had another set of nasty shots, and has been kinda crabby, but I would too if someone poked me in both my chubberific thighs! Brent and I have been just enjoying being Pipers Mom and Dad and can't wait for all the other wonderful things to come!

2010 so far....

2010-01-01T13:16:00.000-08:00

Heres some pics of Miss. Piper danicing it up and chillin playing with some toys Santa brought!

Heres to a great 2010!!!

2010-01-01T13:07:00.001-08:00

We had a nice and quiet New Years Eve, spent it over at my cousins Kyle and Shaylee's and another couple. Had some great food and conversation. Piper held out till Midnight, Daddy did not on the other hand. So we watched the Space Needle fireworks and listened to them outside in our neighborhood as well.

Piper rolled over for the first time last week, but I didnt take any pics of it, too excited to see her doing it to remember a camera, but here are some pics of her doing it this morning! She is getting so big! She will be 4 months on Tuesday!

Pipers First Christmas

2009-12-28T18:56:00.000-08:00

We had a really nice Christmas. Spent Christmas Eve at my folks house, Piper had a hard time though. She was pretty upset, we still arent sure why, but she screamed almost the whole night, so we came home early, went to bed and she woke up her old little self to see what Santa brought her! We then went over to my folks again for gift opening and spent the rest of the afternoon just chillin. It was overall a nice first Christmas for Piper Lynn and us.

Welcome!

2009-12-28T11:43:00.000-08:00

Thought I would give this a whirl as alot fo my friends already do this, and since we all dont live in the same cities and states, I figured that this would be a convienent way to stay in touch and for you all to see how Piper is doing as she grows bigger and bigger everyday!
