The weekend was kind of blah but busy! Friday night Presley was supposed to have her cheer performance at the football game but that got postponed due to the crappy weather. So we did a quick dinner at El Mariachi and then went home and just cuddled in the basement and watched a movie with popcorn. The perfect rainy Friday night!
Saturday we got up and ready and headed to the mall....Piper has been wanting to get her 'ears piered' since before she was 4. Presley got hers done at 5 years old so that was kinda the time period/age I had for it. So she waited and she was SO excited to go on Saturday!
She did amazing. I had already walked her thru everything they were going to do and didn't lie when I said that it might hurt real quick. After they did the first ear, you could tell she was in pain and wanted to cry....but she held it together!
We left the party and we headed to Ankeny to drop the girls off at Holly and Jerry's. They agreed to watch them for a couple hours while we went to a cancer benefit for a friend of Steve's from The Boat House.
They had a great turn out! A silent auction that had a lot of good stuff, BBQ that was catered in and you could tell that Dave was very emotional and touched by all of it!
Sunday morning we didn't do much. I think Steve and I were both dreading the visitation that we were going to attend. We dropped the girls off at my parents and headed there. It was really sad. We still don't know what happened and I'm not sure we ever will know the full story. Julie gave me a really nice hug and just broke down crying, as did I! She was standing with her daughter Kira and you can tell that Kira doesn't fully understand the impact of this, both her and Julie are so strong!
Julie did say that even though we have only known them a short time, that Dean had really connected with Steve...and it's true. There are just people in this world that you click with, get along with, that you are able to talk to and want to hang out with...Julie and Dean are those people!
We left there and went back to mom's. We stayed there since the Packers were playing and my Aunt Ellen was in town! Steve was able to take Presley to volleyball and then came back for the end of the game. It was a good game, but stressful. I can't take any more stress these days!
Today we celebrated Piper's 5th birthday a dinner a night early. She wanted Texas Roadhouse and she wanted to sit on the saddle. I NEVER thought I would have a kid who wanted to do this but she did it and loved it! She was however a little disappointed that they didn't actually sing happy birthday to her! HAHA!
Three-wheeled scooter that the front wheel actually turns (we have one that just goes straight, you can't turn it?! WTH?
Sapphire Gymnastics even mentioned her in their birthday list for the week! :)
