Children's Museum

A few weeks ago, my mom and I took the girls to the Children's Museum in Houston. It has been a long time since we have been there. Last time we went we stayed mainly in the toddler area because the girls were too small to do a lot of the activities. This time, they had a blast! Their favorite thing was the little town area. It has a hospital with an ambulance and police car, a diner, a grocery store, a bank and a vet. The girls had so much fun pretending to take care of the animals, buy groceries, drive the ambulance, and serve food in the diner. I didn't have my camera but I took some pics on my phone. I think we will making another trip back soon!

Biker Chicks

The girls have had big girl bikes for about two months. They love to ride their bikes! We let them pick out their bikes and they each picked out something different. I am sad that it has gotten so hot because for awhile we were going on bike rides in the evenings almost every night. Brooklyn is always the leader of the pack and poor Addyson is always bringing up the rear!

Soccer

Yikes! I cannot believe that I almost let May slip away with out one single blog post. Pathetic, I know. I sat down to the computer several times to do a post over the last few weeks but it never seemed to happen. So, in an attempt to make it up to all my loyal readers (all 5 of you) here are a few posts from May so you can see what we have been up to. First up is Soccer!

I signed the girls up for a six week pee wee soccer league because they had been telling me they wanted to play soccer. I figured that once a week for six weeks wasn't too long of a commitment and then we could find out if they really liked soccer as much as they said they did.

Ready for their first practice

Listening to instructions


The first four weeks consisted of going to different stations and doing "drills" Each station lasted a little too long for the attention span of a three year-old. Caitlyn was the one who was most excited about playing soccer and she only lasted about two weeks. After that she said she just wanted to watch and cheer on her sisters. The last two weeks they actually got to play games. Addyson ended up being the most die hard and that was totally surprising. I am super proud of all three!

Go Addy, Go!

Easter Celebrations

He is alive!

We had a wonderful Easter this year celebrating with egg hunts, dying eggs, the Easter bunny, and family. This year was very special to me because the girls really started to understand the meaning of Easter. I loved hearing them talk about Jesus, his death, and his resurrection.




The girls had an egg hunt at school....one of many egg hunts!

A few pics from Easter Sunday



After church we went to brunch with Brian's parents. The Easter bunny was there and I was really shocked at how much the girls were interested in him! Addyson wanted to know where he was at all times. It kind of gave me hope for Santa this year!


This is as close as Caitlyn would get. She wasn't quite as excited!

Spring Break

I am slowly trying to get caught up on the blog.....I am only about a month behind! :)

We had a pretty busy Spring Break. I was worried we wouldn't have anything to do but it turned out that we had some fun activities. Here are some of the highlights:

We started out with a trip to the Houston Livestock Show

The girls loved the pony rides!



Petting the rabbits was also a big hit!

And of course we had to ride a few rides at the carnival

We played at the park

And we made a trip to Fort Worth to meet our newest cousin, Malosi!

I love this picture of all the cousins but especially Caitlyn's expression....she was soooooo excited to get to hold the baby!

Jackson and Grant showed us a great park. The girls had so much fun fishing with them!


The week ended with a girls trip to New York for mommy!

Cowboy Day 2011

The girls have Cowboy Day at their preschool every year right before Spring Break. The girls got to wear their pink cowboy boots to school, which they were very excited about because normally...no boots allowed! There were lots of toy horses to ride, games to play, and fun crafts to do. The girls had a great time!!!
