Weekend Update

Saturday morning we got up for another soccer game. She went on the field for the 1st five minutes, wandering around, watching birds fly in the sky, walking over to me and telling me she was done....fun times.

After soccer we went home and got ready for the Hawkeye game. We had a couple friends come over to watch the loss with us :( I took the girls to a Cinderella birthday party down the street and Piper freaked out when she saw her get out of the car! She didn't want to be in the same room with her, she actually left and Presley and I stayed (thankfully she was able to walk down the block home by herself! HA!) Presley didn't really want to participate but enjoyed it.

Brynn, the birthday girl and Cinderella

 Brynn's sister Bara stole all her beads!

Steve and Piper ended up coming back down to the party (once Cinderella had left the party!) and we hung out for a while. We headed home and I got ready to head out for a highschool reunion of sorts. Erica Stoll, whose husband Matt died in a motorcycle accident back in July is still in critical condition and making small strides every day. Some of the girls in our graduating class decided to get shirts made and get together to take a group picture for Erica to have a copy of in her room at her rehab facility. There was a good group there, I wish more girls would've come out to support Erica but we understand people have busy lives going on. Thanks to the girls who came and participated!



 

Sunday morning Piper and I got up and headed to my parents house to ride with them and Holly to West Branch, Iowa for my Uncle Ron and Aunt Cathy's 50th wedding anniversary! It was nice to see everyone and nice to meet so many new family members! This is the family that we just really met about 2 years ago so we are still getting to know one another! The weather was perfect, the people were nice and it was a good get together for their anniversary! We got home about 5 and got to see Presley and Steve's masterpieces of the day.....Presley is obsessed with American Girl doll stuff and has been making food, TV's and toys for them out of paper, so Steve took her to Wal-Mart and got real craft stuff. They spent the day making ice cream sandwiches, oreos, poptarts, juice boxes and apple sauce for her 'American Girl' dolls.....how cool is this??? I love that they are crafty since I'm not!
