Team Short Stack Soccer

First day of soccer with team Short Stack was so much fun! Victoria at least looked the part eventhough she was "done with soccer" about 15 minutes into the soccer drills. She had a great time though and is looking forward to next week.

Here is my newest little valentine! How come every holiday is more fun when celebrated with children?
Victoria mastering her float! Yay!
Cousin Love! Kate (4 1/2) and Victoria (3)

These planters at Northpark must have kid magnets - Children love to climb on these things!
My sweet boy looking at the fountain, ducks, turtles... no wait - he's looking at Neimans...maybe for some new clothes that aren't red and white stripes... we got lots of compliments about how cute my baby girl is...

Happy 3rd Birthday

Victoria is THREE!! We were all about Victoria's birthday this week and it paid off - she said her birthday was so fun and she loves her birthday! And now she can't wait till Jack's birthday. What a wonderful three years it's been getting to see V grow into the most precious girl. I am so lucky to have this person in my life!
We held her birthday at the children's aquarium - Victoria loves it there! She likes the Nemo fish, the glittery fish and the sting rays.

Sweet Babies

Daddy wasn't feeling well, so Victoria snuggled with him to help him feel better - sweet girl.
Victoria loves to give her brother hugs, raspberries, kisses and tickles. With love like hers, he is tough and getting tougher.
Walking with help at 9 months! Crazy! (Victoria wasn't even crawling yet!)
Victoria there by brother's side for support!
At 9 months my bruiser baby boy hit his head on an edge and it made a dent! The fall never broke the skin just bruised it, but it looks so bad. In fact Victoria had a similar dent after a fall - but it healed, so there is hope. It looks like the Harry Potter scar - I pray it goes away.
Reese and Jack are just weeks apart and Jack is so much bigger!
Victoria and her friend Izzy at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in the cockpit! Izzy loves all things girly and Victoria is catching on. She is learning the names of all the princesses from Izzy and has finally confirmed that purple is her favorite color.

Luckily he is sporting the SEC swoop to hide his dent on his head.
