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!

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!!!

Pretty Princesses

The girls went to their first "all girl" birthday party for their friend Chandler. It was a princess party and it was so much fun! The girls loved dressing up, getting their makeup done, and having a princess tea party. The pics are from my cell phone so they aren't very good, but I thought they were too cute not to share!

1st Dentist Visit

This post is probably of no interest to anyone else, it is just one of those things I feel I need to record. The girls had their first visit to the dentist a few weeks ago. Everyone got a good report and did really well. Brooklyn was pretty nervous so the dentist was nice enough to let Brian hold her when it was her time to go. The dentist counted their teeth, brushed them, and put flouride on them. Their favorite part was definitely picking out a prize from the treasure chest after it was over!

Fore!

Brooklyn is my little athlete. Any sport that has a ball....she wants to play it! Lately, she has been talking a lot about golf. She has a plastic set of golf clubs that she has hit around the back yard, but she wanted to go play "real" golf with daddy. So, Brooklyn, Mason, Caitlyn, Brian and Pee Wee went to go play golf. Brooklyn got a new set of clubs to test out. Caitlyn decided she wanted to tag along and give it a try too. They both had a great time and I hope it is the first of many more trips to the golf course!
