Easter weekend and Easter Sunday

What a busy and fun weekend with Brooks, Reese and Sloane. On Good Friday, we attended a free event for children. There were bounce houses, pony rides and more. Brooks, Reese and Sloane really enjoyed riding in the horse drawn carriage:Off we go!

On Saturday, we attended the church Easter Egg Hunt. During the hunt, I could not figure out why Brooks was running past several eggs on the ground. I soon realized that he was ONLY picking up blue or green eggs!

Look at all of our loot!
Egg hunt! Notice that Brooks is holding a green egg...
Before the egg hunt, there was a short program inside the church to tell the story of Easter. Here's Sloane saying her prayers before the hunt...

On Easter Sunday, Brooks, Reese and Sloane colored Easter eggs for the 1st time. I was paranoid about stains so they colored eggs in the panties

Brooks, Reese and Sloane all wrote "Mommy" on my Easter card...

On Easter morning, Brooks, Reese and Sloane were very excited to see what the Easter Bunny had brought.....Reese and Sloane decided to line up and count how many items that were in their baskets...

Spring is here!

Spring is finally here and Brooks, Reese and Sloane are full of energy and mischief! One afternoon I was working in my bedroom on a project. I should have known something was up because it was too quiet!
I came out into the living room to find Brooks, Reese and Sloane covered in band-aids! They found and opened all of the boxes and proceeded to cover themselves with band-aids...

Some of our twin friends invited us to our first princess and knight birthday party. Brooks, Reese and Sloane had so much fun they literally passed out on the way home!

Brooks dressed as a knight. It looks like he has an admirer...

My little handsome knight...
The place settings for the tea party were very detailed!

Texas Bluebonnets 2011

This year I took Brooks, Reese and Sloane to see the Bluebonnets 3 times in hopes to capture some beautiful pictures.
Yes, 3 is my lucky number. The 3rd trip to the fields proved to be the best!
Here are the photos:
