Indoor Soccer Game

Brooks, Reese and Sloane did the cutest thing the other day. They gathered all of their stuffed animals and lined them along the couch to be the audience for their indoor soccer game.

Daddy Daughter Dance & 1st Soccer game

Steve took the Reese and Sloane to their 2nd Daddy Daughter Dance. They had so much fun spending time with Daddy last year that we decided to make this an annual event.

I found some really pretty dresses for the dance, and then that night we had a Mommy and Daughter time where I fixed their hair. Sloane wanted her hair up and Reese wanted her hair down. Here are the girls on the dance floor:
Reese and Sloane love the song by the Black Eyed Peas "I'm Having a Good Time With You"...they even point at each other just at the right time in the song!
Sisters!

Look at our pretty nails!

Pretty girls!
Last Fall, we signed Brooks up to play soccer. At the first game we realized that the teams had coed players. So for the Spring, we signed up Brooks, Reese and Sloane on the same soccer team.

Here's Sloane warming up before the game...
Go Brooks!
This picture makes me laugh! While Sloane was sitting out for a break from the game, she decided to organize the teams waters bottles from tallest to shortest!
Reese scored a goal!

Happy Valentine's Day

This year was an event filled Valentine's Day. It started with a party at Brooks, Reese and Sloane's preschool.

Here's Brooks making his Valentine card mailbox...
Just a few days before Valentine's Day Brooks flipped off the back of the couch and scraped his chin.

My 3 little Valentines!

We had a playdate with our friends: River, Rayne, Skye and JuJu Urech and Madison and Sydney Davis. Here are Brooks and Sloane making their mailboxes.

Snow and Ice! Do we really live in Texas?

This week we had one of the worst ice and snow storms in the Dallas area. School was canceled for 4 days in a row, and cabin fever hit our house hard! I do not know who was losing their mind more...me or Brooks, Reese and Sloane!

After the 3 day of being stuck indoors, we got about 6 inches of snow! Since all of the ice was covered with snow, we finally got out to play in the backyard...

The view from our front door...pure ice and snow! It is difficult to tell where the sidewalk and street are located.
Our house....where's the street?
Playground! The slide is ice and snow...


On Day 2 of the storm, we experienced "rolling blackouts" where we would lose power every 45 minutes. The power would be out for about 20 minutes, come back on and then go off.....it was extremely annoying! Luckily Steve stayed home from work that day and we took the Trio to the movies and lunch!
