Cousins

Last week we made a trip to Weatherford to spend time with cousins and make a trip to the Fort Worth Zoo and Children's Museum. We had seven kids under three-years old! It was a little chaotic but we had a great time! The kids all play so well together and I love watching them. I took a ton of pictures of our trip. A huge thanks to Uncle Bob and Aunt Janelle for having us!

Cabo Trip 2010

We took the girls on a vacation to Mexico over the 4th of July. We went with my parents and had the greatest time. The girls got to ride in an airplane for the first time and they did really good....well as good as three two-year olds strapped in an airplane seat can be! I had lots of entertainment and snacks on board :)

We spent most of our time laying on the beach watching the girls play in the sand and relaxing. We also went swimming, ate lots of good food, the boys went fishing, and Brian and I went golfing. The girls keep asking when we get to go back to the beach. I hope that we get to make this our annual summer vacation with my family!

I could never get tired of this view!

Catch up and another video

I have alot to catch up on. So much has happened in our house over the last few weeks! The girls are now officially two and a half and I wish that I could just freeze time because it is going by so fast! Addyson and Brooklyn have done great with potty training and are pretty much potty trained during the day. At night, they still wear pull ups. Caitlyn is just not ready and I am not forcing her.....I know she will do it in her time.

The girls are sleeping in different rooms for the first time in their life. They now have big girl beds and Brooklyn has her own room while Addyson and Caitlyn share a room. So far it is working out great! I am still working on some decorating things but they love their new beds.

We also took our very first trip on an airplane with the girls. We went to Cabo San Lucas over the 4th of July and had a great vacation with my parents. I will post pictures soon but in the mean time here is another singing video! Caitlyn is singing the Barney song to my parents dog, Zach. Two of her favorite things in life are Barney and Zach! Brooklyn and Addyson also make a brief appearance :)

Now Starring.....

Addyson!!!!

Happy Father's Day Brian!

I wanted to wish Brian a very Happy Father's Day! Brian, you are such a wonderful father to our three girls and there is no way I would have been able to do this without you. The girls absolutely adore you and we are all so lucky to have you! We love you!

Jones Reunion 2010

This weekend we headed to Lake Buchanan for the Jones Family Reunion (Brian's moms' family). I have said it before, I am so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family.....not just Brian's immediate family but his extended family as well! We had a great time visiting with everyone and seeing how much all the kids had grown from last year. The girls played their little hearts out swimming and digging, playing with their dump trucks, and watching all the "big kids." Get ready for LOTS of pictures!


Love this smile!

Summertime and the livin is easy

Well, we have survived the first two weeks of summer! I was worried that we wouldn't have enough going on to keep the girls busy and mamma happy, but so far we have had a great summer. We made a trip to the ranch over Memorial Day weekend, we have done lots of swimming, and the girls started gymnastics. Here are a few random pictures from the start of our summer.

Aunt Janelle took some cute shots of the girls at the ranch




I think there will be lots of pictures of the girls swimming this summer. They LOVE the water! They have been taking swim lessons for the past month. I signed them up initially because I wasn't sure how they would do in the pool and I wanted them to get used to the water, but now I know that they have no fear!
