Class of 2012

We headed to Kingwood for Memorial Day Weekend but the main focus of the trip was to see Emily graduate high school!!!

Before the excitement, Brynn ventured into the pool for her first time. Just like Reese, she took her first dip in Mimi and Grampy’s pool. As it should be! Brynn loves the water JUST as much as Reese does!

The fan club was ready and waiting in Reliant Stadium to see Emmy make her way across the stage. I can still remember Bob calling to tell us that Emily was born…and she can say she was here when Brynn was born. We were all super proud of Em and so glad she accomplished her goal! Go Emmy! Reese is going to miss “her Emmy.”

It was a great weekend in Kingwood and we were sad to bid farewell to Emily as she has headed back home to NJ. Hopefully she’ll be back soon!

046Reese got all gussied up on Tuesday for Stroller Strides!

It’s officially summer…we started our afternoon trips to the pool. Both girls had a blast!

Better late than never!

I realize I am super behind in posting pictures of my children. I never seem to have much time to upload pictures onto the computer much less create a blog post. It should be obvious to me since I uploaded 331 pictures today! Here is a sample of what has been going on with us lately.

002My sweet girls sleeping005Since she was born she has insisted on sleeping with her head massed into a corner of some sort. We finally had to add a body pillow to her bed because at night we could hear her whack her head into the wall.020022041Brynn turned 7 months in April. Since I took this picture she turned 8 months. 054She LOVES her puppy Thurman, and boy does Thurman LOVE Brynn (and Reese too)

068Reese’s dance school had a day at the Hooks Game. So she’s somewhere in that mess (on the left). They danced on the field before the game.
