Tripp and Piper


He is so proud of his little sis. As you can see, she can get a little overwhelmed with him. Her eyes are constantly bugging out by his boistorous voice. The first thing he does when he wakes up is find Piper and talk to her. It is so dang cute.


Tripp and Piper share a common trait with Ryan. They all love watching TV!

Sleeping Beauty


I can't get enough of Piper. I could lay and watch her all day and night (and I do!)

Our Family


I continue to think how lucky I am to have a loving and supportive husband and two happy healthy kids. I laugh multiple times a day at my Tripp. He is in such a fun stage right now. His vocabulary is growing every hour and it melts my heart to see how loving and caring he is to his sister. He adores his dad and gets so excited whenever Ryan walks in the door (Tripp screams "my daddy, my daddy") even if he had only been gone long enough to get the mail. Piper is smiling and cooing at anyone who will look her way. My face hurts from smiling at her! I love being a mom!

Piper's Blessing

Smiling at "GG" (Great Grandma Menlove)

Neeley, Piper and Marshall

Getting dressed wore Piper out!



Piper was blessed on Sunday June 28th. She looked absolutely beautiful in her blessing dress and knitted cap. I had to put a bow in her hair later so that she could show off all that hair! Piper is obviously loved because we had a lots of family and friends there to support her. My brother Marshall gave Piper her blessing, he did a wonderful job.

Four Generations of Girls



I was excited to take this picture and post it. Four generations are not all that uncommon but four generations of girls is uncommon for us! My grandmother Lois had seven children the oldest being my mother (Lori) the only girl! I am the only girl and now we have Piper!

2 Months




I can not believe that Piper is two months old already. It makes me sad to think how fast time flies. We took her to the Dr. for her checkup today and he said that everything looks great. She is in the 92nd %ile for her weight (12.12) and I am sure half of that comes from her adorable cheeks! Tripp is still loving being the big brother and runs to comfort her if she makes even the littlest peep! Amazingly she still has lots of hair left but it is thinning out and receding. She has started smiling when you talk to her and has even begun talking back.

St. George



We took our first (of many I hope) family getaways the first week of June. We loaded up the car and spent four days in a condo in St. George. We had a great time being together and spoiling Tripp and Piper with our full attention. We hung out by the pool, cooked breakfasts and lunches together and enjoyed take-out for dinner every night since going to dinner with a two year old is not our idea of fun! This was the perfect way to begin our summer.
