Spring Break Trip

Here are some pictures of our Spring Break whirlwind trip. I guess now that I have both girls, I am a Picture Slacker because I don't have nearly as many as I would like! But, we had a great time!!
Here is Reagan doing one of her favorite things in the world... playing with Poppy outside by the pond. If you look carefully you can see sticks and leaves dangling from her diaper. But hey, no more diapers anymore, so this is no longer a problem!
This went sour a few minutes after this was taken when she slipped....
Again, Poppy to the rescue! I got this one right as she lost her balance! (every time I say that, she'll look at me and go "where did my balance go, Mommy?")
While Poppy and R were on their 4 hour adventure walking around the house (no joke), Brooklyn got some bonding time with Grammy. :)
Sweet!
This is Brooklyn meeting her friends Drew and Kim. And despite this particular look, she loves them. :) Drew has spina bifida too, and he instantly took a "lovin' " to B. He is a DOLL. And Kim is my lifesaver. We graduated from ACU together, and reconnected through all of Brooklyn's stuff. She was my ROCK during pregnancy, and since. It was soooo great to see them, even if just for a few minutes!
Here is big sister Avery making Brooklyn crack up! We had a great visit.
Rach was there for a couple of days, so we of course had to get our girls together. Now we have 6 children between Kendra, Rachel, and me, so life is not NEARLY as easy as it used to be! But fun anyways! We took the 6 to the train!
I was too lazy to get up and take their picture, so I sat and took K's pic taking their picture.
And here's Rach with our blonde, brunette, and red-head girls. Enlarge this one for sure... it's a keeper. :) :) :)
Funny face. She was SO excited!
I love this profile.
Here was Brooklyn the first half of the ride. Just needed to document that she was there.
I looooooove this picture of Rach and Nolan!
He's such a cutie! And so laid back.... love it.
I just loved the light on Roselyn's red curls. :)
Can you tell whose child had a hard time staying seated and facing the front?!
Sweet friends.

Waving at people going by.
As always, turned around backwards. But she looks so pretty!
Three best friends with their popcorn treat!
Aaaaaannnnnnndddddd.... Brooklyn wakes up. Happy as always!
We got to go with Cass, Kendra, and Jeremy to Disney on Ice. Let me tell you, she has NOT stopped talking about it since. Literally 10 times a day. On the way to Dallas, the girls got to watch a movie in Kendra's cool car with the wireless headphones. This was a first for R. How cute are they?!
Again, HOW CUTE ARE THEY?! Very excited girls in their Disney shirts.
One of my favorite pics of all time. "Ready, set, let's go!"Cutie girls, still holding hands, climbing up the steps.
Our seats were great!
Again, I don't think Reagan sat down hardly at all. Cass was a little more mellow than her crazy friend, but they sure had fun!

We both had a blast!!!
The girls each got to pick a prize.... Cass got Tinkerbell twirly thing, and Reagan got an Ariel light up wand. Greatness.
And, on to Cassidee's party. It was a shock to Reagan that Cass has other friends that were there.... she thought the two bounce houses were just for her and Cass! But it was fun anyways, even if she did have to share Cass!
I think she thought Cass might need help with her candles.

Reagan was ALL up on Cassidee's business the whole party! Maybe she needs help opening presents too?! She just loves her so much!

I think this is her "when is it gonna be MY birthday?" face.
Very-excited Cassidee!!
Gotta love some Capri Sun. It was a great day!
Always a highlight of my trips home is getting to see my Grandmommy. We got to hang out several times, and Reagan just especially loves her. Makes my heart happy. Here she is, showing off her computer skills.
Good lovin' time with Brooklyn. It was their first time to meet!
Brooklyn having a talk with Granddaddy... dressed like a boy. She got poop on her outfit while we were at Kendra's, so she got to wear Cason's Texas Rangers clothes. Hey, we're baseball fans too even with two girls, so it works.
Speaking of sports fans, this is "ball-ah" Brooklyn watching March Madness. Reagan put this ball in her swing for her to hold (R always is leaving toys for B... too sweet), and she had her hand up on it the whole time while watching basketball on tv.
It was a jam-packed fun week, and we didn't get to see NEAR as many people as I would have liked. Just not enough time! And I didn't get near enough pictures of those we did get to see at both churches, family dinners, etc. Oh well. It was fun though! Can't wait to go back home again!

PS. Reagan just a minute ago starts yelling.....
R:"Oh no, Oh NO, OH NO OH NO OH NO!!!!"
Me: "What's wrong, Reagan?!"
R: "My hiney has a hole in it!!!!!!!!!"
Me: "How do you know that?"
R: "Because I just touched it! Oh no oh NO!! My hiney has a hole in it!"
Me: "Let's go wash your hands"

Amber said...

She's using the potty and didn't realize her hiney had a hole in it??? I'd like to know how a child's mind worked!

Aric called me over to look at the pic of B grinning in the stroller.

LOL! I have comment first about the (hole in the hiney)! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. I guess I really should start preparing myself for what my boys might say! Loved all the pictures! It is so great the girls can grow up together and match their outfits. I'm so glad you reunited with your friend from ACU and have someone who understand really what yall are going through. God is great! Have a great week!

I am trying not to scream-laugh at Reagan's "discovery" in the teacher workroom... not successful...
