My Little Bunnies

Here are a few pictures from Easter. I love the one of Presley. Those eyes just melt your heart.
Brooke's newest trick is shrugging her shoulders and we finally got a photo. She is a little toot.
The other photos are from the toys Grandma and Grandpa gave them for Easter. A school bus and a tractor w/ animals.
They love them. They walked around with the boxes on their head. I was glad I was able to get a quick shot. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa, we love you.
I had a training today in Waco and thank goodness the girls were good for Grandma. I was a little worried since they were such boogers this weekend.
A lady at swim lessons said that this stage can last until they are 2 1/2. But that age 3 is really fun. I hope it doesn't last that long but you know I will cherish every moment good and bad.
God Bless and good night.

More Slide Fun






Slide Fun

We had a fun day on the slide. I bought the slide second hand and it was in the garage. I decided to pull it out and show the girls how to slide. I didn't even have to show Brooke. She knew exactly what to do. She even knew to pull her legs out from under her and sit and slide. Amazing how their little minds work. Now, Presley on the other hand slid down on her tummy because she didn't know what to do. It was so funny to watch both of them. Presley eventually would sit and slide down any way she could go down and yes she fell quite a few times but never once cried. She was having a blast. I will post the pictures of Presley next. Brooke pushed Presley a few times because Presley was taking too long at the top of the slide. She is such a bully to her sister. I love all the pictures of Brooke. She is so determined in everything she does.

Happy Easter!!
It is a little cold to hunt Easter Eggs for the girls. I will have to do a mock one this week.
We are going to have dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Buck so they can give them their presents. We went to church this morning I will post pictures tomorrow. The pictures are not very good because it is still hard to get them together. At least I took some and I can tell them when they get older how hard it was to take pictures of the two of them. I have proof to show them.

Grandma's House

We went to visit Grandma yesterday. The girls had a lot of fun in her backyard. They played with rocks, broom, screen door, more twigs, and best of all their dog Charlie. I did pack some toys but never played with them because their little brains were soaking up everthing else. I should have known better.We went to eat at Chili's and the girls loved seeing all the babies and kids. They were entertained by watching everyone.
I am really starting to have a few issues with the girls. They love to play on the couches. I wish we would have never started it. Last night Brooke ran across the couch (which I don't let her) when I turned my back and fell and hit her head hard against the wall. She had a large knot on her forehead. It scared me to death. So, today I focused on making them SIT on the couch and I must have said it 30 times and did they get it. NO! The bad thing is that they can get up on the couch by themselves now.
How do I make them understand? I was worn out today. I think the terrible twos are beginning. The other issue is the outlets. I spanked Brooke's hand at three different outlets and let me tell you it was one after the other. She would cry and go to the next one. She was definitely testing me. After she finally realized she was not suppose to do it, Presley looked at me with a smile and touched it a few times. She is not as sensitive as Brooke. She knows she isn't suppose to do it and all the while she has a smurk on her face. I would say I have my work cut out for me. Gary has been reading this book and it says not to spank this young. I feel if it is going to harm them, then they need to realize I mean business.
If he would have been here today he would have spanked their little hands also. I want everyone to know I am only swatting their hands and not abusing them. Just in case anyone takes this the wrong way. Whew! What a day! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter.

Fun, Fun, And More Fun

Here are more pics from the park. Presley and her twigs that she wouldn't put down. Brooke loved all the babies. When they strolled away she started crying.

I got the girls some crocs and they are so cute in them. Brooke kept bending down to touch her new shoes. Uh Oh I think they will be shoe crazy like their Mama.

The last two pics are the girls playing and standing on Kaitlynns suitcase. They played with it the whole weekend and even got into it if Kaitlynn didn't shut it.

Sorry, for the short post but I am out of words tonight. I am not in the mood to post a long post.
Goodnight!!!

Easter Bunny

We went to an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday. The Easter Bunny was there and the girls wanted no part of sitting in his lap. We had to stand with them so they would get their picture made. We couldn't stay for the Egg Hunt because for one Brooke was fussy and we had to take Kaitlynn to a birthday party. I am so sad we missed the hunt because it was a perfect day except for being windy. I heard on the news it may rain on Sunday. Oh well, at least I got some pictures of the girls in their dresses.
Brooke would not put that big stick down. Presley had a bunch of little sticks. I call her my little gatherer. I will post more pics tomorrow of the park and their sticks.

Kaitlynn

We had an overnight visitor this weekend. Kaitlynn. The girls loved having her around. We colored Easter Eggs, went shopping, went to Gymboree, went to workout, played outside, went to an Easter party, and went to a birthday party. It was a fun weekend for the girls. I think Kaitlynn got a little bored at times but I think she enjoyed herself. Thanks Kaitlynn for helping us out and playing with the girls. Kaitlynn lives in Oklahoma. She teased Gary all weekend with her OU hat so we had to get a picture of the girls with the hat on, just for Gary. Of course, Brooke wouldn't leave hers on as usual. Gotta go more pictures later.

All Of Us

Here are some cute photos of the family. Those are rare because we never have anyone to take them. I should use my tripod more often but that takes time and that I am shy of lately. I love the one of Daddy and the girls. These are their Easter dresses with sweaters because you never know what the weather will be in Texas especially on Easter. Last year it was so cold. I remember I had to put turtle necks on the girls because it was so cold. I gotta go the girls need my attention. I will post more pics later.

Standing Tall

Happy St Patrick's Day!
Brooke has taught her sister how to stand up on the toys.
Presley sits back and soaks up everything Brooke does and then does it herself. Which is fine with some things but standing on the toys is not good because Presley isn't as coordinated as Brooke. If you notice in the picture Presley is on the very edge of the car and right next to the fireplace. My heart sank when I realized how close she was to possibly hurting herself. But of course I had to snap a picture before I grabbed her.
We had a busy weekend. I will post pics this week from our fun weekend.

Beautiful Day

Such a wonderful day to be outside. If it is a nice day we are outside. The girls will go to the door to let me know they want to go outside. They both can crawl up into the chairs that are outside. Presley has a harder time getting in the chair than Brooke. I have to help her get down though. She fell today and got a little bump on her head. Poor Presley, those little legs just don't move as fast for her.
Brooke as you can see, is into everything. She brought me both of Daddy's boots, too funny, and they are heavy. She is strong. The other day she picked up a ten pound weight I had in the garage. I guess we should clean out the garage.
I love the picture of Daddy and the girls. We need to take more pics of us in them. All the photos are of Brooke and Presley, probably because it is more fun to take their pictures and they are much cuter.
I better get in bed. Goodnight!
