Always on the go....

There is never a dull moment when you are a mother to 4 year old triplets. We are always on the go whether it is preschool, sports or an outing with friends. Brooks, Reese and Sloane stay busy and get to experience many things.

One of our favorite outings is a trip to the local Apple Store.
Here are Brooks, Reese and Sloane with their twin friends Sydney and Madison. Gotta love free entertainment. I think these children know more about the iPod Touch and the iPad than most adults...

This year, Brooks, Reese and Sloane are attending Pre K. They are always so excited to show us their school work. One day they asked me to take a picture of their work so I could post it on Facebook! How funny is that?

Dress up has become a daily activity in our house. Sometimes it's princess dresses, sometimes bad guys. I was shocked to see one day that Reese (the princess) decided to dress up like Batman!

College football is one of my favorite sports. I am a HUGE TCU Horned Frog fan....former cheerleader, etc.
I now have 3 little TCU fans in our house.....GO FROGS!

This year, we decided to try a couple of activities to see what Brooks, Reese and Sloane like the best. Along with dance, gymnastics and baseball, we are also playing soccer.
Reese and Sloane are playing on a girls' team called the "Hot Tamales". Here they are running together during a game...so cute:
Sisters!
Go Reese!

Brooks has a girlfriend on his soccer team....

Go Brooks!
I love how he sticks out his tongue when he plays....

Go Reese Go!

Running together again.....
Go Brooks....defense!

The Trio is growing up too fast!

I feel like it was just yesterday that I delivered Brooks, Reese and Sloane on that cold day in January. Now my babies are almost 5 years old! Where did the time go?

Sloane and Reese are playing on a girls' soccer team this fall. Their team is called the Hot Tamales....they are having a blast!
The girls' team numbers reflect their birth order....thus Sloane is "1" because she was the 1st born and Reese is "2" because she was the 2nd born.
Sisters!

A friend of mine asked if she could use Brooks, Reese and Sloane as models for an upcoming themed photo shoot she was going to offer to her clients. She captured some amazing photos of the Trio! They look so big in these photos....




Some days can be crazy and stressful with Brooks, Reese and Sloane but then I try to take a step back and enjoy every minute...
I now understand the phrase "children grow up too fast".....please slow down Brooks, Reese and Sloane!

1st week of Pre K and soccer games

This week Brooks, Reese and Sloane attended their first week of Pre K. They have been asking about school for about the past 6 weeks so needless to say they were excited!

This year, they are in the afternoon class. On the first day of school, they were very worried that we were going to be late to school because we did not leave right after breakfast.

Along with the first week of school, Brooks, Reese and Sloane had their first soccer games of the season.

Reese pushing again! Much more aggressive than last year!

Brooks was on fire ...scoring a goal in the first 5 seconds of his game! His team is the Lil Rascals...
Brooks plays on a co-ed team. Here he is with his 2 girlfriends!
The girls "fighting" over Brooks....literally pulling him back and forth! He does not look very happy.....

Go Brooks!

The girls' game was on another field at the same time as Brooks' game......he was so excited to tell us that he scored 8 goals!

Brooks, Reese and Sloane have grown so much since this time last year. They are more independent and skilled at their school activities and soccer games. What a difference a year can make!

Ninja the Bunny

A friend of mine has a cute bunny named Ninja. She was kind enough to allow Brooks, Reese and Sloane to visit and play with Ninja after a photo shoot at her house.
Here are Brooks and Sloane feeding Ninja some lettuce...
Reese and Sloane looking into the cage...

They could not stop talking about the bunny! Luckily they have not asked to get a bunny....yet!
I was amazed how gentle they were with Ninja and how he just laid there like a baby...too cute!
