Pretty Pictures...

One night I told Micah to put on her pretty dress (which is her current favorite) because I was going to take her to the beach to take pictures. She said, "Oh you are going to take pretty pictures!" And yes, that is exactly what I did. I took Reagan by herself, then Micah by herself, and Mason was out there metal detecting with Craig so I was able to grab some of him as well! I didnt' get any of them all three together, which makes me a little sad, but I love what I got!

These first three are pictures with a verse that came to mind when I saw them!

Throwback Thursday...

For those of you on instagram or facebook know that a lot of people throwback on Thursday and post pictures from the past. Well here is my throwback Thursday to all three of my babies at 1 years old on the beach. I love how you see their personalities in each of their pictures. I still think Reagan looks more like Mason, but they all have their own unique look. Oh how I love them!

PS- How is that little boy starting kindergarten in a month?

South Padre 2014...

At the end of June we had the best vacation at South Padre. My parents have a time share, and are so generous is letting us use it every year. They join us for a couple of days and help us so much! This was one of the best vacations, and that is largely due to the fact that Craig didn't have to work ... at all! Definitely the 1st time in 4 years that has happened, and it was so so nice! We all had a great time! 

My mom took Reagan to Weslaco the last two days, which gave us the chance to take Mason and Micah to Schlitterbaun and the beach to build sand castles without little sister destroying them. I have a ton of pictures as it was the 1st time in a long time I just sat back and captured my babies! You know I loved that!

Growing up...

It is time for a little update on my babies. I feel like they have all gone through a growth spurt recently, and seem so grown up to me!

Oh my Mason...some things never change! He still loves to paint and make a mess at 2 and at 5.  His favorite things are spending time with his daddy, Lego superheros, Star Wars, anything that has to do with the water, learning, and he absolutely adores his sisters. He still wakes up early every morning, and continually asks if he can go wake them up. 

One of my favorite recent Mason stories happened at the beach. We had gone to Schlitterbaun, and honestly saw more tattoos than we had ever seen. Craig and I were explaining that tattoos are permanent and never come off. He said, " They never ever come off? Not even oxiclean can get them off?" Only the son of a mom who uses oxiclean in every load:-)

My sweet Micah! How I love this girl. We recently had a mommy date to Orange Leaf and you can see from these pictures she is just the happiest little angel, and is just so fun to be around.  Micah seems to have grown up the most recently. She talks all the time, her favorite food is oatmeal and raisin brown (bran) as she call it, enjoys swimming and is not afraid of the water, she is so independent as she wants to do everything for herself ( put her shoes on, get dressed, ect.). She absolutely doesn't want to move out of her crib as I think that is where she can have her stuff and her siblings can't get it. She doesn't take a nap but has rest time for two hours and just entertains herself. The fact that she doesn't want to get out of her crib makes it nice for mommy!

Can you tell Reagan is loved? Reagan is 15 months going on 15. Our baby is way too grown up for a 15 month old. Here she was just eating a snowcone with a spoon all by herself. At 15 months, she runs every where, wants things her way, smiles all the time, is into everything, out eats Mason and Micah daily, only takes one nap a day, loves popsicles and lollipops, and her favorite thing to do is color. She speaks in her own language but says ball, dada, and gross when I change her diaper. She is at such a fun age.

And believe it or not,  both my girls are lefties!
