being cute

The girls this morning were goofing around and being so darn cute I had to take a couple of pictures. Piper had her first dentist appointment yesterday. She was a champ and let them polish her teeth up. She didn't care for the vacuum thing so she got to swish and spit in a cup. It was pretty cute to watch her take everything in.

Piper's last day of her 1st year of school

Today was Piper's "Celebration Day" at school. They did a few musical numbers and then all received their certificate of completion. Her teacher presented us with the future graduating classes of 2022 and 2023. Oh my gosh! Piper was much less shy this time around, she was singing and doing her dance moves. It was pretty cute. Unfortunately her Daddy is up in the Boundary Waters so he missed it but Mommy, Reagan and Grandma Mary all showed up to watch. Reagan has been under the weather for a few days so she had no interest in sitting still and I woke up feeling terrible this morning as well. We are hoping Jason is feeling good up in the woods, maybe he'll get to miss this round of yuck!

the girls all sitting together - most of them anyways - Hannah, Alyssa, Piper, Abbey, and Clara

Finally, new pictures

Yes, yes, finally (Mom), some new pictures. Well they really aren't all new but I'm finally getting them posted anyways.

Reagan meeting Brecken, she just wanted to unwrap her and see more than just her little face, must get that from Papa Miller

Piper loves her too, she always wants to hold her

there are those chubby little cheeks, she looks so content with her Mommy

this is so strange to me, my baby brother is a father

if anyone wants to know a good present for Reagan this little train track from Fleet Farm was a big hit, as I removed her she kicked and screamed through the entire store

We took a day trip up to visit Grandma and Grandpa, Calvin went with us and needed to make a pit stop, Piper was in charge and does great with Calvin. As I was watching her I realized that she is not a baby, she has turned into a little girl and I said to Mom that she's not going to be this small much longer, she's growing and growing. I've noticed just in the past month that her pants are getting short too.

Great Grandma meeting her newest Great Grandchild

Piper loves her new cousin (even though she had said for the months leading up to her birth that she didn't want a cousin)

Reagan and Great Grandpa just adore eachother, they both just smile and smile when they get to visit

Great Aunt Steph cuddling with Brecken

this week Aydan visited us while her daycare was on vacation, when the girls had a chance to play together without Piper they had a blast. Piper was a little too much for them.

Mom came over and we did a small trip to the craft store and decided to let the girls fingerpaint

Piper and Grandma had their own project

Aydan loved fingerpainting

Some fun moments from the past few weeks

Of course we are very excited to finally have Brecken here, we have a bunch of pictures of the little cutie pie but I'm going to wait until her Mommy and Daddy have a chance to show her off on their blog before adding pictures here.

Kyle and Konnor came over to play one afternoon and they all had a blast running around the yard

We had a bonfire one evening and roasted some marshmallows
