Wondering what your thoughts on a third prime lens to go with my new Canon 6D. Right now I have the Sigma 35 f1.4 and Canon 85mm f1.8. I was looking at purchasing the Canon 135mm f 2.0L lens. I know that most people use it as a portrait lens, but I though it may also be good for indoor/outdoor events that my kids will be participating in. It might be something that I could also use for landscape/travel photography. Would this compliment the two primes that I currently have or would you suggest something else? Or do you think I should get rid of the 85mm f1.8 and go with the 35/135 combo?

Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

These three primes are perfectly suited for portraits. Where you control your model movement. My line is 24 + 85 + 135. Works.
But I wouldn't risk (a paid) event without zoom(s). If your event photography is for fun, then why not? This selection of primes will take you where no zoom can.

Don't give up on 85. It's a useful one.

Be modest and polite. Shoot 135@2.
