Happy Easter
Happy Easter. their dresses are really cute, but this was the best picture I could get from a 2yr. old and 7 month old, when they have candy right in front of them.
Piper and Landon were so good, just sitting there eating eggs. Landon is our nephew (josh's brother Jeremiah and Jessica's youngest)
Anna and Great Grandpa. Anna liked looking for eggs until she discovered she could open them and eat the candy inside.
All the cousins on Josh's side. J.P's and Lisa's kids, Julia (the oldest) Micah (oldest boy). Jeremiah and Jessica's, Samantha (standing in the back) Landon ( baby boy) and Anna and Piper. This picture was not easy to get.
Anna got to ride a horse at my best friends easter picnic.
More easter
My best friend's family has an easter picnic every year, we were lucky enough to be invited.
My best friend, Tawnya's, kids Jenessa and Jordan. Jordan and Anna are the same age. Tawnya has two more girls.

My other best friend, Amber, her little sister Laura and Laura's little boy Ian. Tawnya's youngets, Haily, Ian and Piper are all the same age.
Anna is slow at easter egg hunting, but she loves it.
Everyone who hunted easter eggs. It was such a fun day. Anna got to play outside all day, it was great

Piper is six months
Piper is 28.5 in and 20 pounds. She has rolly polly legs that are really cute. She is ticklish and has a great laugh to compliment her adorable smile.
She tries to escape nap time. I think she and Anna are in cahoots with this one.
She loves to eat food! She will grab the spoon and pull it into her mouth, she is not a patient eater. She loves to stick her tongue out. I think it is to help Anna when she feeds her, she is saying here is my mouth, put the food here. (Anna usually get it in her nose, eye, sometimes her ear)
This was taken when we got home from her shots. She is a tough cookie. Piper has to be with Anna around. She will be sitting playing and Anna will come out of nowhere and plow her over and start wrestling. Sometimes Piper doesn't mind. One day I did tell Anna if she touched Piper again she was going to bed and I would take away all her babies for the night. Poor Piper just needed a break.
She is a thumb sucker, which is adorable!

Family!
My sister Allison had a beautiful baby girl, Reese, on Christmas day. Her husband, Troy, blessed her a couple weeks ago. Anna, Piper and I were able to do, and spend a week in Utah with them.
I don't know why my computer keeps posting pictures backward, anyway. This is Rhett holding Reese (left) and Piper. Rhett has never been one to run up and want to hold the babies, you would never know from this picture!
Kai and Anna are one year apart and two states away, but you would never know, they were buddies the entire time. Even after little sleep, constant entertainment, and tired Mommies they just kept going.
My other sister Jill came into Salt Lake City for the day. Her boys came Rhett, and Caden. The kids had a blast. Anna has twin babies, the one she is holding and the other one wears a blue outfit. Kai played with it the entire time we were there. All of Anna's babies are named Piper, except the blue one. For some reason she named the blue one Uncle Dean (Rhett and Caden's dad). She has seen Uncle Dean a hand full of times, but apparently loves him very much.
Allison and Reese. My mom made her blessing dress, it is beautiful.
Reese Evelyn born Christmas Day (after gifts were opened). We love you!

I'm two
I don't know why the pictures post backwards, but here you go. Anna is two! I was really sick the day of her birthday, so we celebrated the next day, she didn't know the difference.
She loves princesses, like every little girl. So I made her a blanket, which she calls a balnkblank.

We had a birthday party for her, I found her this cute dress for $6 and she had to wear rain boots with it. Oh well, it was her party.
Yes! I did make it!
Some things Anna loves: her sister the beach purses babies bubbles books
food Swings slides dogs shoes
She is potty trained, protests nap time and leaving the library. Likes to help and is very compassionate. We love Anna and are excited for another year!

Anna's first kiss
This is Joey! Anna's best friend,he lives just a couple doors down so they play together often.
This picture was taken in late November. It was too cold to go to the beach. But not to cold to play in buckets of water. Joey didn't like wearing wet cloths, and he claimed his bucket by using it as a restroom.
This was at Balboa park. On tuesdays residents get into the museums for free! The science museum is their favorite.
And it happened. We had been watching Joey and when it was time for him to go home. His dad told him to say good-bye. He took that opportunity to lean in and give Anna a little kiss. It was the cutest thing. All you parents are hoping that for your kids first kiss that both sets of parents are standing right there watching.
Josh had a good talk with Joey about where he is going in life, and what his intentions are with Anna. Joey is a great friend!

The last of christmas
By special request here is a better picture of my beautiful table. It is square and seats 8. I love it! Anna also loves it, because she can walk under it, get into the middle and then I can't reach her. She thinks it is a great game!
This is Anna's last gift, she couldn't play in it on Christmas because it was raining. So much for sunny california. It is a 12 x 12 foot jump house.
Here is a better view with her friend Joey.
It rained Christmas day and Anna doesn't know that she is missing out on anything. Josh however was another story. He sat at the window like a little kid, and would turn to me with a big smile and say, I think is going to stop raining the clouds are moving. I would just smile and try not to discourage him. However when he finally realized we weren't going to be able to set up the jump house he was almost in tears. Luckily our 3 weeks of winter are over and we can play in the jump house everyday!

More Christmas
So Josh found that Piper loves to watch the pictures on our NEW computer. Thank you santa for our Mac, we love it!
Piper loved all her toys, although she will get one more, once we get the coupon. I figured she could wait a couple weeks to get her last present.
I know what you are thinking, what a dumb picture of a blanket. However, under the blanket is where Anna spent more of christmas. Piper got a mat with toys to lay on. Anna put the blanket over it and sat under there playing with the toys and reading her books.

Merry Christmas
Anna got twins on christmas eve, so they had to help her unwrap all her presents. It took us all day to open presents, Anna would stop and play with everything she got.
Cute picture of Josh and Piper, however can you see the chair in the back? We got a new table!!! I love it after 6 yrs and taking full advantage of the table I bought for $6, it was time.
Luckily our kids are young and don't know the difference between christmas and any other day. So christmas didn't begin until after 8 am, luckily. I have been so tired, Josh has had some time off so we have been staying up late.
Anna loves to hold Piper. Piper doesn't love it as much as Anna does.

We didn't have much room this year for decoration, here is our village. Do you notice the two little feet, this is an addition to the village. It is also someone's favorite hiding place.

Piper's blessing
We blest Piper in late October. Josh's parents, brothers, their wives and children were able to come.

My Mom, coolest brother Wyatt, and niece Sydney (Travis's little girl, he is my other coolest brother) were able to come and make a little trip out of it. We went to the beach, Anna's favorite place, and went to our favorite ice cream place. They were here for a short time, but we had a blast.
Aren't we so good looking!!!
