Piper's Pipeline

Hi

Uh oh. I'm busted. I've been slow on the blogging front lately, as I've been busy having fun, traveling, and eating ice cream. 

I miss all of my family and friends so much! Hope to see you soon.

Every Day I'm Shuffling

I rebounded quickly from the interrupting incident. A few minutes later, one of my current favorite songs, LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," came on the TV.

The big thing in the song is when the one guy with the poofy big hair says, "Every day I'm shuff-a-lin" and then everyone dances and stuff. This is me shuffling.

 

My Sense of Humor

So this is funny, I think. 

I have a tendancy to interrupt mommy and daddy when they're talking. I do it all of the time.

So it should come as no surprise that the other day when mommy and daddy were talking, I interrupted them. Daddy scolded me for interrupting, and I went upstairs. 

From there, I went into my playroom and got some paper. I drew the above pictures, put them in a UPS delivery box that was in mommy & daddy's room, and threw it down the stairs and said, "Delivery!"

Daddy opened the package and saw the above pictures. He and mommy started laughing hysterically, and I was laughing upstairs too, and said "It means no happy Pipers allowed!"

I'm silly. 

Draping

For the past year, one of my favorite songs has been the theme to Mad Men. I'm seriously.

At the end of the theme, I always extend my arm out and bob my head. 

Turns out the pose I strike is an Internet meme phenomenom called "draping," named after the lead character of the show, Don Draper.

So here's a series of pics of me quote unquote draping.

Brea's Baby Baby Baby Oh

My bestest babysitter Brea had a baby of her own named Preston.

I got to go to the hospital and see him right after he was born. And I got to hold him all of the time! He's sweet and doesn't cry non-stop like I did.

 

Fun at the Beach With Rider

Hooray for global warming!

Let's just say it's been "unseasonably warm" this winter. So much as that last time I went to the beach--IN FEBRUARY--it was warm enough for us to get in the ocean. 

Me and Rider has so much fun. We made maps and sand castles and chased the waves and everything!

Piper Does the Classics - Part IV

Here are some lines from Auntie Julie's favorite movie...

Planking

Apparently, a new craze sweeping the nation is "planking."

This is where people just lie on the ground, straight as a plank, in funny places.

One night, I decided to plank all over the house.

The pictures are of said planking.

Piper Does the Classics - Part III

Let's see if you can guess what classic horror film this is from...

The Unexpected Adventure

We got stuck in Dallas after Christmas. So we made the best of it and turned our strandedness into a little adventure.

First, we went to Baylor University, where mommy went to school. We stayed at a motel that would best be described as "less than adequate" (pictured below, second pic). But we made the most of it. Mommy would like me to be a Baylor Bear. Daddy, however would like me to go to BYU because of their strict and enforced moral code. I'm like, Daddy, are you kidding me?

After visiting Waco, we went to the Texas Schoolbook Depository where JFK was shot. That was a little over my head.

I went to the Dallas Zoo too with mommy's friend Candace and her son. 

All in all, we made lemonade out of lemons, as Auntie Karen would say.

My Note to Santa

This is the first of many notes that I will pen for Santa.

I even left him milk and cookies and guess what--no seriously guess--yes, he ate them.

Don't Mess With Texas At Christmas

We went to Texas this Christmas. I had so much fun hanging with Grandma Lita and GrandBarry and Aunt Christy and Rileigh and Nicholas. 

There's just something so special about Christmas...seeing family come together...spending time with loved ones...receiving presents. It's my most favorite holiday.

Piper Does The Classics - Part II

I love watching Seinfeld. Me and daddy watch it almost every night. Which gets me thinking, what's the deal with brunch? I mean, we don't have linner.

I Love Kajsa

Even though she doesn't act like it if mommy and daddy are around, Kajsa Beans sure does love me. I love her too. She's my favorite puppy.

Piper Does The Classics - Part I

Daddy finds it really funny to have me say famous TV and movie lines. This is the first in an on-going series called, "Piper Does The Classics."

Let's see if you can figure out what movie this is from...

Happy Halloween!

I had sooooooooooooo much fun this year on Halloween. I actually had two Halloweens. I'm seriously. 

The first night we went out was to the Springs Preserve. It was super crowded. I dressed up like Foofa, and as you can tell by the last photo below, it pooped me out.

Then two days later (or as I call it, not tomorrow but "the other morrow"), on Halloween Halloween, I decided I wanted to dress up as a strawberry. Why not, you know? We went trick or treating in our neighborhood. Turns out there are about 50 couples in the neighborhood with kids around my age. We had no idea! Where have they all been the past 5 years?!

I'm seriously.

I mostly hung with my friend Sophia (pictured left background above). She keeps her room much cleaner than I keep mine. Mommy and daddy are known to mention this to me a lot. 

The Grandest Canyon Of Them All - Part II

Here are some more pics from the Grand Canyon. These are from our grill out with Jay and Marissa and Alesia.

The Grandest Canyon Of Them All - Part I

We went to the Grand Canyon! It was huge!

We shared a cabin with Jay and Marissa and their sweet little baby Alesia. We hiked and looked at the canyon (it was really big) and played board games and grilled out and killed terrorists.

Ok maybe we didn't play any board games.

I can't wait to go back. It's one of the seven wonders of the world. I'm seriously.

Let's Just Do A Photo Dump

Listen, let's cut to the chase. Here are some of my favorite photos of the last few months that don't really have a "post" to go with it "per se" (to borrow a phrase from Auntie Karen). 

Tennis Anyone?

I REALLY got into tennis recently. As daddy says, I've "got a sweet lefty stroke."

I hope one day to grow up to be the next Jennifer Capriotti, minus the drugs and stuff. Speaking of Capriotti's, I could sure go for their Bobby sandwich right now. 

Goofy McGoofenstein

Yep, I'm a little goofball.

Sometimes mommy and daddy call me "Goofy McGoofenstein." I think they call me this because I'm goofy. 

Um, Yeah, You See, It's Been Awhile

Yes hi everyone, it's me, Piper Marie.

Apologies for how long it's been since I last posted. I'd like to make a few excuses, but really, there aren't any. 

I'm going to pre-date a number of posts and try to catch up the bestest that I can. I hope over the next week to cover ALL the ground that I missed the past errrrr eight months.

Enjoy!

It's A Beach Birthday Party

The day after my 4th birthday, mommy and daddy threw me a beach party!

It was my most favorite party of all time. Uncle Brian and Colin came. So did Erika and Kristen and Laura. Of course, Rider came too.

We played in the ocean and in the sand and I had birthday cake too. 

Afterwards, mommy and daddy let me have a little more cake inside because it was too windy to light the candles outside and I really wanted to blow candles out so I did.

I'm 4!

Hey everyone, I'm 4!

For my 4th birthday, mommy and daddy took me and Rider to Disneyland! And guess what...I saw Mickey! I didn't get to hug him since he was on a parade but I did wave. I also rode the It's A Small World ride too and I learned repeatedly that it is a small world after all.

Rider Is My BFF

I've had lots of fun spending time with Rider lately. We talk and play and rough house a little bit all the time. He's always looking out for me. I'm like AC to his OJ minus the double homicide.
