Donuts for Dads

Today, our local Moms of Multiples Group hosted a Donuts for Dads. There was an amazing turn out....as you can see from this picture. Steve is on the bottom row, behind the wagon...trying to get the trio to look at the camera....too funny! We managed a family shot....Reese was not happy.....

Reese and Sloane decided to drink like big girls today.

Reese, Brooks and Sloane....the Hickey Trio!

I am the Social Chair this year for our Mom of Multiples Group. Since I had to arrive early, Steve had to feed, dress and bring the trio to the park....all by himself! Isn't he awesome? I captured this picture as they were walking up to greet me......

This week's playdates!

First, I had to include this picture from the baseball game last Sunday. Here is the star player....Logan....he is so sweet with the trio....Brooks LOVES him!!

Well, we have had another busy week! Brooks, Reese and Sloane played with friends on Monday, Wednesday and Friday! Wow! No wonder I am so tired...... Here they are with their friends....the Melker Triplets. We had some splash time in their backyard....and some snacks too!

On Monday, we went to play with some of our twin friends: Jack, Caroline, Addison and Cadence.....as well as our baseball buddy, Logan, and his baby twin siblings, Preslee and Beckett.

Brooks was very affectionate that day...first kissing Caroline, then......

....kissing either Cadence or Addison (they are identical twins so I am not sure who this is....he he he).

He is a Ladies' Man already!!! I wasn't ready for the kissing to begin. :)

What a weekend!

We began Saturday morning with our usual Gymboree music class. Reese was having a rough morning...she was in time out twice during the class. Luckily, we went swimming that afternoon and she was much happier. Here she is with Daddy...she loved being thrown up in the air in the pool! Here is Sloane...."swimming" all by herself....

Daddy and his girls. Brooks is still not as confident in the water so he was hanging with Mommy on the step.

Sunday morning, we skipped church to take the trio to a local family fun fest. Well, it turned out to be a little more crazy...tons of people...lines, etc. We did get to see Barney.....

This is the only picture I could get of the three of them...eating snacks in the lobby:

Sunday night, my friend Tina's 8 year old son had a playoff baseball game. Steve loves baseball so we went to the game with the trio. They actually did a good job staying close and watching some of the game.
Here is Steve with Sloane and Brooks.....

Daddy and his son....a future baseball player...

Sloane...cheering on the team...we even got her to yell "Go Logan!"...so cute!

Reese is still not a fan of the camera.....

Brooks.....Mommy's boy.....

Daddy and the crew....

Our attempt at a family picture....he he he....

Sloane...giving Daddy a hug....

Sloane decided to rest in this Bumbo.....

Brooks wanted to get a closer look at the game.....

Then the girls decided to join him....I got lucky with this shot....love it!

A morning at the playground

Our local mom of multiples group met at a park this morning for a play date. Thank goodness it was overcast and their was plenty of shade from the trees. If you look closely, you can see Sloane little bottom in the air...leaning on a swing.... Sloane and Reese liked throwing rocks down the slide....

Sloane...looking very serious.....

Brooks.....

A long day...play date and splash park

Sloane in our back yard...waiting for friends to arrive.....

What a way to start off the week. We hosted a play date at our house with some friends I used to work with.....we had 14 children total!! Here is a shot from our backyard: Brooks, Reese and Sloane seem to like their new pool.....

Sloane.....

Reese....her friend, Logan, was throwing the ball into the air...she loved it!

Brooks saying "cheese"....

Later that day, we went to a local splash park for more fun....Brooks was not happy because he want to run EVERYWHERE!

Sloane.....

Reese....

Sloane loved this fountain....she decided to take a break and sit down....

Fun in the sun!

The weather in Texas has been nice and sunny...not too hot! So we have been enjoying some time in the pool and splash parks with the trio. Here is Daddy with the crew in our friends' swimming pool..... Sloane and Reese were just sitting along the pool...playing with some toys....luckily, I got this shot before they noticed me!

Brooks....notice the blue toy in this hand....he has held on to that thing for 3 days now! Can you say obsession??

Reese....

Sloane and Reese....Brooks climbing out of the pool.

Sloane....she was watering the flowers...

This is a local splash park....the water was a little cold.....

Reese kept saying "Mommy...cold"....

Brooks and Reese...testing the water...

I love this shot of Reese....she was having a good time!

Notice the holes on the ground? That is where the water comes up from....Brooks, Sloane and Reese were trying to figure out where the water went.....

Sloane...

Brooks....

Reese...still cold!

Reese was still trying to figure out where the water went.....the water at the park goes on and off at times....luckily she did not get sprayed in the face!

Sloane had to try the same thing.....although she appears to be doing some push ups!
