9 Year Comparisons!

Time to check in on how these cuties stack up against each other at 9! It's the last year I have a kid in single digits. Hold me, I don't know how this is happening.

Trent:

Height: 52" {54%}

Weight: 56 pounds {31%}

BMI: 14.7 {16%}

Drew:

Height: 49.5" {12%}

Weight: 49.6 pounds {6%}

BMI: 14.23 {11%}

Paige:

Height: 50.3" {20%}

Weight: 55.2 pounds {20%}

BMI: 15.3 {29%}

We're on a pretty consistent trend of Paige being just a bit bigger than Drew at the same age, so I think they're going to end up like Patty and me with the little sister being bigger ha. Trent now towers over everyone but his growth stalled for a long time so not really surprising that he's barely taller than the girls - although I'm a bit surprised Paige is almost the same weight!!

I also think they look a lot alike in these pictures? Their hair color is very similar now that Paige's has darkened so much.

7 Year Comparisons

I finally had the girls' well checks so stats for them will be coming soon, but I can't NOT document their comparisons! I am still in shock my baby is SEVEN, but seriously how cute are my 3 all at 7?!

Trent:

Height: 47.5" {50%}

Weight: 46.5 pounds {34.5%}

BMI: 15 {33%}

Drew:

Height: 45" {9%}

Weight: 40 pounds {5%}

BMI: 13.89 {12%}

Paige:

Height: 46.5" {24%}

Weight: 45 pounds {21%}

BMI: 14.6 {29%}

It'll be interesting to see where they all end up - Paige has bounced around from being smaller than Drew to the last few years being bigger, so I think she'll be taller than her 'big' sister, and Paige is definitely catching up to Trent even! I say this every year but genetics fascinate me!!

Houston Natural Science Museum

Brent's nephew had a great idea in the summer to go to the Houston Natural Science Museum. He remembered going with Brent's parents when he was a kid {reminder - he's 28!} and thought our kids might enjoy it. And they did! We had a great little trip Saturday-Sunday before Labor Day.

We went up Saturday mid-day and spent the late afternoon swimming at the hotel pool, had dinner in the hotel, and had a relatively low-key evening. Trent and Branden shared a hotel room and played YuGiOh for hours! I love that these cousins have bonded over this game!

Sunday morning after a delicious breakfast at Starbucks we headed to the museum. We knew that there were a few extra exhibits happening right now {including a Shark exhibit, and Paige is OBSESSED with sharks}, so we planned to enjoy the main museum but knew we needed time for a few of the extras.

Smile! {sigh}

Drew had to go visit Zoltar, but we told her to 'not get Big'. Ha!

We started out going to see the dinosaurs. This was Branden's favorite, and I think he would have stayed her a lot longer if the others hadn't been more impatient.

A sloth for our sloth-loving girl!

We paid extra money for the shark exhibit, and honestly, it was disappointing. I don't think it was worth the extra money.

Although it was worth getting these shark earrings for Paige!

There was a station at the end with sea creatures we could touch, including some small sharks. The little kids found this neat, and we did have to drag them away.

We also paid extra for the butterfly exhibit, and this was a hit for everyone! There was a whole room of insect displays before we even got to the butterflies, very cool.

Look at this cool electric blue frog!

The kids had so much fun forcing me to look at cockroaches.

Got them to pose with me, yay!

The last exhibit we went to was the Egyptian exhibit. They had a special {meaning more money} exhibit about King Tut, but we didn't have a lot of time left, so we focused on the main exhibit.

A REAL MUMMY!!!!!

Running out of steam here...

A cool sarcophagus!

If we had planned a little better, there were some movies we could have seen - and there was one about sharks I wish we'd made time for. BUT we bought a membership {cheaper tickets, cheaper parking, discount on the gift shop/food}, so we might have to go back to see all the things we missed.

It was a great trip, and I think everyone had an awesome time!

Beautiful Bluebonnets

I was getting stressed about getting our bluebonnet pictures - I could tell they were starting to fade a little. So I got the kids out the other day to GET IT DONE. You can tell these aren't the best flowers we've ever had, but I'm just happy we did it. I'll check on Easter Sunday if the ones by my in-laws house look any better.

With that lead-up...I present our Bluebonnet Pictures - 2023 Edition.
