Always on the go...

It seems we always have something going on whether it is dance, soccer, gymnastics, school activities or milestones in life.  Brooks, Reese and Sloane are growing up so fast and lately they say some of the cutest things!  They are also becoming more independent and their individual personalities are developing more each day.  Fun times in our house!

Brooks, Reese and Sloane have been choosing their own clothes each day for school.  On Pajama Day, Sloane and Reese decided to wear different sets of PJ's.  No more matching clothes for my girls!


Reese, Brooks and Sloane on Rodeo Day!  The girls were insistent on wearing their hair in braids, and Brooks would not wear pants because he wanted his cowboy boots showing!


I was asked to participate for a charity event where local celebrities create a piece of art work that will be placed up for auction.  Brooks, Reese and Sloane wanted to help me with the painting so we created this portrait with 3 butterflies using each of their hand prints...


Reese lost another tooth!!!  We were in shock!  This makes 2 teeth now for Reese while Sloane and Brooks still have not lost a tooth yet!


Brooks, Reese and Sloane love their gymnastics class!  Here they are "hanging out" with our twin friends Sydney and Madison...

I was so excited to find matching Batman shirts for the Trio!

Texas Bluebonnets 2012

One of our favorite traditions is to take photos with the Texas Bluebonnets. This year the flowers were so vibrant and tall!

Brooks, Reese and Sloane were excited to carefully walk through the field and look at the beautiful bluebonnets.



My three little angels are getting so big!

Easter

We had an amazing Easter holiday this year. Brooks, Reese and Sloane participated in a couple of egg hunts and we attended church together as a family in the main sanctuary.
I was so proud of the trio during the service...just a reminder how much our babies are growing up.This year more than past years Brooks, Reese and Sloane were very excited for the Easter Bunny to arrive. I think I went a little overboard on the basket treats!
We hosted a nice family friendly cookout at our house the day before Easter. Brooks, Reese and Sloane helped with getting the backyard ready for the party...
During the egg hunt at our church, Sloane noticed a ladybug on the ground...

We were invited to another egg hunt with the Junior League of Richardson. The children were told to look for a gold egg during the hunt. Brooks took this information seriously and would not pick up any other egg color except yellow or gold!
I love this photo of Sloane just happily running along looking for eggs...
Reese looking for her next egg
A successful egg hunt!
Sister love!
Easter Bunny!
Brooks was so determined to find the gold egg!

Reese and Sloane at Disney on Ice

Reese and Sloane are really into the Disney Princesses, so I decided to take them to see Disney on Ice. This year the show was all about the princesses. The final act was the story of Rapunzel, and Reese and Sloane were dressed for the event!

They even talked me into buying the Rapunzel braid...
Since this was a "girls' night", a friend came with me to help with the girls and Steve took Brooks out for a "boys' night". Here we are waiting in line to get inside for the show...
Reese and Sloane LOVED the show and could not stop talking about the princesses for several days. As a result, we have decided to plan our Disney World family vacation for this coming October! We can't wait!
