Happy Birthday Piper!!!!

The birthday vest Piper wore at school.

Yia-yia came for Piper's birthday and brought Mommy's old Strawberry Shortcake house.

 

Piper loves the Strawberry Shortcake house.  She played with it for hours.

She loved the dress from Haley.  Thank you Aunt Mindy!

We had an exciting birthday weekend!  Piper's birthday fell on a Thursday this year and she wore the birthday vest at school.  Mommy and Piper made white cupcakes with pink sprinkles to share with her class for snack.  Friday Yia-yia made it to Memphis and surprised the kids when school was over:)  She brought Mommy's old Strawberry Shortcake house with dolls and furniture for Piper to play with.  She played from that afternoon til bedtime with all the Strawberry Shortcake toys. Saturday was the party and she had a great time:) Mrs. Lee made her cake and it was delicious! Mrs. karen made her shirt and tu-tu:)  Piper enjoyed playing with all of her friends at Pump It Up.  Of course, opening presents was her favorite part.  She passed out her cookies to all of her friends and then came home and played with all of her new toys:)

Piper is a fabulous five year old! She is creative and always wants to make a picture or card for someone.  She loves to write her name and spell words.  She is always asking me how to do spell or write letters.  She still loves to play dress up and babies.  We always enjoy a "show" from Piper right before bedtime.  She either sings a song, does a dance or plays her guitar.  Her imagination grows everyday and we never know what she is going to say.  Piper Rose, Mommy and Daddy love you very much and we pray you will continue to love others and enjoy your Whole Hand year!  Happy Birthday Piper!

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flag Football

Flag football has begun and this mama is one excited football mom:)  Andrew did so good!  He ran a zig zag pattern down the field just like Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson:) He got the flag of the kid that went to intercept the ball from Harding.  We won 20-6!  He played running back for this game and really had a lot of fun.  This was the Jamboree game against Briarcrest but his official games start after Labor Day.  This mama is off to get the "#16 is my kid" tshirt monogrammed to wear the rest of the season:)

First Day of School

Our first day of school came very fast this summer but we were ready to start the school year:)  Andrew is going into Mrs. Wood's 2nd grade class and Piper is entering Miss Laura's Junior Kindergarten (JK) class at Harding this year.  Mommy also known as Miss Maggie will be the specialty teacher for all of the Senior Kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten classes.  I teach Art, Music, PE and Computer.  I will have Piper 3 out of the 5 days a week.  It is such a blessing to be at the same school with your kids!  Here are some pics from our first week:)

My big 2nd grader!

She wanted me to take a picture of her tatoo because we were about to wash it off. 

No tatoos at school!

It's going to be a great day!

She wanted to wrap Miss Laura's present all by herself:)
