The Trio"s 1st TCU game!

We finally took Brooks, Reese and Sloane to a TCU football game in Ft. Worth. It was the last game in the Amon G. Carter Stadium before renovations begin for next year.
We stopped by the TCU book store to stock up on TCU gear...
Sloane, Brooks and Reese getting ready for the game.....GO FROGS!

I have many fond memories of cheering for TCU on this field. Luckily, I was there to see the last game played inside the stadium before all of the changes for the renovation.

The Hickey Trio is having fun!

Brooks, Reese and Sloane have been so fun! Yes, they drive me crazy at times with the "tumultuous three year old" behavior, but the next minute they are saying the cutest things or doing things that make me laugh!

I have been teaching Brooks, Reese and Sloane how to say "Go Froggies"! They have learned quickly and even cheered "Go Froggies" during the World Series when the Texas Rangers were playing.
Every Saturday, they wear their TCU gear:
Here are Reese, Sloane and Brooks just 1 year ago doing a cheer for the TCU Horned Frogs! They have grown so much!
Reese loves to draw and color. She has become a true artist...she drew this spider all by herself!
Sloane is following in my footsteps as a future TCU cheerleader!
Brooks loves his Lego's! He plays with them daily and builds some creative and detailed projects. This is his "rocket ship".
This picture still makes me laugh! I was in my bedroom folding laundry and returned to living room to find this chair with socks on the legs. Sloane had decided that the chair wanted to wear socks.
Reese and Sloane have become really close. They love to hug and call each other "sister".
Sloane, Brooks and Reese love the Apple Store. Occasionally, I will take them to "play" on the iTouch or iPad.
I have noticed lately that Brooks will tell his sisters that he loves them. So cute! I feel like my babies are growing up too fast!

Halloween Weekend

We had an eventful month of October. Brooks, Reese and Sloane visited 2 pumpkin patches, took 2 trips to the Dallas Arboretum for the pumpkins and attended 2 Fall Festivals!
We finished up the month with some pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating.

Here's Brooks with our finished pumpkins

Pumpkin goo!

We love candy!
Steve was a good sport and wore his Superman costume while we went trick-or-treating. Our friend Tonia, and her twins Sydney and Peyton, came over to join in the fun.
Ready to go!
Happy Halloween!

Preschool Days

Brooks, Reese and Sloane love their preschool! Each day they come home excited to tell me about all of the new things they are learning. Recently, there was a Halloween party at their school. All of the children were asked to where their costumes.
Here is the class singing songs...
Circle time!

Playing games at the party.

Dallas Arboretum Pumpkins

We returned to The Dallas Arboretum to take some photos with Halloween costumes. Brooks, Reese and Sloane love pumpkins and were excited to pose with these large pumpkins.

A quick change and into Tinker Bell, Buzz Lightyear and Belle.
