Harper's 1!!

Last weekend we all went up to Fargo for Harper's First Birthday-- she had a birthday party at the Holiday Inn. It was so much fun, the kids had such a good time in the pool! It is hard to believe that she is already one!

Last Sunday we put up a backsplash in our kitchen; Tim busy at work

First ride of the year for the girls!

Ava loves stroller rides!!

Piper splashing in the water with her new rain boots

Loving life!

5 months old!

Ava was five months old on Monday. I cannot believe it! I has gone so fast and I swear she is growing more each day. This past month she has really changed-- she is rolling over all the time and starting to scoot around. She will sit up for a couple second by herself. She is a very smiley and happy baby! I weighed her at home today-- about 17 pounds! (I am not sure how accurate it is, I will bring her to the clinic soon)

This past weekend we were busy-- we were in Buxton to see Jenny, then went to Fargo on Saturday for the McLean's wedding reception and then back to Buxton for Jenny's Grandpa Sid's 90th Birthday party. Piper had a good time staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house! She also liked that fact that she wore dresses all weekend!

5 months!! Just chilling!

Piper likes to watch the song, "Ten in the bed!"

My how life has changed... :)

Ava and Piper

So sleepy from all the music!

She was a dancing machine!

Getting ready to go... her hair stayed up in a mohawk style!

Such a big helper!

Fargo Fun!

We went to Fargo on Saturday to hang out with the Vigen clan. It has recently been Grant, Brent and Megan's birthdays so we had to deliver gifts. Plus, the girls missed their cousins!! :)

Harper is starting to take steps! I love this pic! It will be her birthday soon too-- 1 already!!

Grant getting to blow out the big candle! Piper managed to find princess stuff there too!

Ava sitting on her cousin!! Soon to meet him or her!!

Ava's little hair flap fits perfectly in a little pony!

1st pony!

So sweet

Snuggle time with daddy!

Such a happy girl she is!

Piper was trying to teach Ava how to go potty today. She even dressed herself-- you can't tell, but her pants are backwards and inside out. (Nevertheless, she was quite proud!)

Bismark and more

Last weekend, the girls and I made the long trek to Bismarck to watch the CV Valiants play in the Girls State Tournament. (Tim was in Las Vegas with some friends) We had such a great time! It was so fun to watch the Valiants on the big stage!!

We made it there right as the national anthem was being sung!! Piper dressed in her Valiant gear!! Thanks Michelle!

Ava sleeping at the hospitality room after the game

Piper playing....at approx 11pm!! She didn't go to bed until midnight two nights in Bismarck!!

Which made for a sleepy girl during the game the next day...

Friday night.. calling it an early night! Sweet Ava showing off her strong neck!

The girls!

Last day of games!! Piper wearing an OLD sweatshirt... this has been passed down from Brent to Brooks to me....then on to Jake and Grant and now Piper!!

Go Valiants!!

Freshly up from nap time!

Congrats Mr Sondrol-- Coach of the Year!

First bath together!!

Ava loved being able to kick and splash more freely!!

Dunking oreos!! Or as Piper calls them-- Yo Yos

Pics from this morning-- baking a cake for Granty!! (A couple weeks late-- he is 4 now!)
