Sibling love....

It is so cute to see Brooks, Reese and Sloane interacting with each other...talking...laughing...fighting....they are TRUE siblings! Now that they are 4 years old, they are developing into 3 different individuals. Some days they get along with each other, while other days it is constant arguments and battles over anything from a toy to being the first in line to go out the door. It drives me crazy but makes me smile all at the same time.

Here are Sloane, Brooks and Reese on a "good" day enjoying some playtime in the backyard. Notice they are each holding a squirt bottle....thus no fighting! LOL
Reese and Sloane share a bedroom and lately they have been up talking and giggling when they are supposed to be in bed. Apparently they wore themselves out while playing in Sloane's bed and crashed in the bed together...
Sloane is holding her flashlight in one hand and her Polly Pocket car in the other hand. Even asleep she is holding on to her things....so cute!

Summer Fun!

It has been HOT in Texas this summer! The average temperature has been 100 degrees...

Therefore, we have to be creative when planning activities for Brooks, Reese and Sloane.

Splash parks have been a life saver!

Here's Sloane sitting in the middle of a fountain. She makes me laugh!
Reese striking a pose in the splash park!
Brooks cooling off in the water....
The big squirt water gun!

On this trip to the splash park, we met up with some other sets of triplets and quads. Sadly, my trio is now too big for the choo choo wagon!

There were a total of 4 choo choo wagons that day....3 other sets of triplets and 1 set of quads! We took over the splash park!

Here are Brooks, Reese and Sloane eating lunch...
With the Texas heat, we have had to play indoors many days. Brooks has become obsessed with building his "collections" as he likes to call them. It is amazing to watch his little brain work to create these collections. His creativity and attention to detail amaze me. Then he will explain why he set up things the way he did, etc. I think we have a future architect or artist!
Brooks, Reese and Sloane are really getting into dress up and dramatic play. I love to listen to their dialogue and the scenes that they act out together.
This summer, I have also continued to work with Brooks, Reese and Sloane with letter and number recognition. Our kitchen becomes the classroom while we sit at the table and work.

On this day, we were working on writing numbers, counting and match number sets with numbers...

Summer Vacation to Destin

We had an amazing vacation in Destin, Florida this year. The weather was perfect and Brooks, Reese and Sloane had a blast!

While we were away, we took OVER 400 pictures during the week!

I have attempted to post the photos of great moments while we were at the beach...

This is the sunset while we were having dinner at Harry T's Lighthouse!

Reese, Brooks and Sloane

Brooks fell asleep in the car on our way to dinner that night. We could not wake him up! Steve decided to be humorous and place a beer bottle in front of Brooks...

I love this picture of Sloane...my little beach girl

Brooks, Reese and Sloane found some friends on the beach who were willing to share their "Cheetos"....

Our family at the Baytowne Warf...

This area is the exact location where Sloane fell into the water 1 year ago!

She was looking at the fish and just fell over.....notice they STILL have just a rope fence!

This picture makes me laugh! I asked the girls to show me their muscles and just at the right time Brooks snuck in the back of the photo showing his muscles!

One night, we had dinner at "Stinky's Fish Camp". The crab legs were awesome!

This photo makes me smile....sisters sitting together...so sweet!

One day, the girls literally passed out on the beach because they were so tired!
Brooks is so excited to play in the waves that he is clapping!
We love the beach!
