Mason's Birthday Party

Sunday was Mason's birthday party - the kids had a great time. They did gymnastics...


Then arts and crafts...




And the Chicken Dance...


Not sure what they are looking at here - but a very cute picture of Mason, Reilly and Charlotte


Brookie was there too - and loved the conductor hat from the goody bag!


awww - hugs!

Mason's Birthday - Real Day

Mason turned 3 last week and the Golds invited us over to celebrate on his real birthday. Reilly and Mason had such a great time playing. They have moved from playing next to each other, to REALLY playing together and having a great time. They are best friends and these pictures really show it (thanks to Mason's Grandma for taking these pics!)

Beach Pictures

For Brooke's 9 month old photo shoot with Amanda, we went to the beach!

Despite being hot and Brooke wanting to eat all the sand - she took some amazing pictures! The Golds joined us as well for some cute kid pictures. Here is a sampling of the great shots.

Hunting Elephant

Reilly and Mike love to use their imaginations! Last night they were playing "hunt the elephant." They went all over the house with a gun and trap (i.e. a plastic golf club and Buzz's cage). Finally! They found the elephant - he was hiding behind the couch! He was caught without incident and returned to the wild!

Brookie's Back!

Brooke was feeling MUCH better today - after being sick for 5 days! So, off to her new classroom she went. Her and Reilly, of course, wore matching outfits and posed for some cute picture!

Here they are getting ready to go in:





Here is Brooke sitting at the big girl table with her friend, Baylor!


And here is Reilly playing with playdoh in her new room!

Moving Up!

It is the start of a new year at preschool. Reilly has moved up to the "4s" and Brooke is moving to "Jr. Toddler." Unfortunately, Brooke is sick and couldn't make the first day of the new room. But here is a picture of Reilly all excited this morning! She is holding her bedroll and her new purple polka dot lunch box - which she showed everyone as she walked down the hall.


And, as I like to do, here are pics from last year and the year before.

First day of the "2s"
