Brooks, Reese & Sloane's 4th birthday party

Brooks, Reese and Sloane just celebrated their 4th birthday. We decided to delay their party since their birthday is so close to the holidays.

Here they are on the way to their party wearing their "4 years old" shirts:

As always, Brooks, Reese and Sloane had an amazing birthday party! We are very blessed with many good friends.

Happy Birthday on T.V.

A local news channel will post a photo of your children (or in my case children) on their birthday. Brooks, Reese and Sloane were excited to see their photo and hear their names on the T.V.

Happy 4th Birthday and the 1st snow of 2011!

Four years ago after 8 weeks of bed rest, I woke up to use the bathroom when my water unexpectedly broke! By 8:30 a.m. I was in the car with my mother driving to the hospital. Steve met us just in time to prepare for the C-section. By 11:30 a.m., Brooks, Reese and Sloane were born:

Sloane Olivia 3 lbs 3 oz

Reese Elizabeth 3 lbs 2 oz

Brooks Logan 3 lbs 9 oz
After 5 weeks in the NICU, Brooks, Reese and Sloane ALL came home on the same day!

4 years later, Reese, Brooks and Sloane showing off their 4th birthday gifts:

Already having fun in 2011!

Well we are not too far into 2011 and Brooks, Reese and Sloane have already been busy having fun!

Their preschool class had a field trip last week to the Holifield Outdoor Learning center in Plano. The children were able to see various animals such as rabbits, fish, bugs, snakes, alligators, raccoons and bobcats.

Then we took a walk on the trail and stopped for a photo:

Bunny!
Brooks LOVED the rabbits and kept asking me if we could take one home!
Over the holidays, we took a day to drive to Fort Worth for the Children's Museum.

Here's Sloane the "future doctor". She actually wants to be a doctor when she grows up!

Alligator mouth!
Shopping at the market:
Fruits and vegetables

Carrot! If only she would eat them!
