Fun Play Date & TMNO

Since I'm trying to be better at adding info quicker so my posts aren't so long, I thought I would quickly add this post and pics. I'm so grateful everyday to be a "triplet mommy." Well, a mom at all for that matter - it really is a blessing that any of us get to bring these children into the world because anyone with infertility issues knows - it takes a miracle that's for sure.

Anyway, because of my little three, I get to part of this great group of mommies that I've mentioned before and here are a few pics of my sweet and always helpful friends.

Love you crazy mommies :)

We know have 59 members of our group - triplets are the "new" twins and yet people are always so shocked to see us out and about. And the number just keeps growing and growing and growing... HOW FUN!

My triplet mama friend Roxy and I got together again for another play date last week and we all had such a great time. Her kids are amazing and so sweet! Can't wait to do it again!

PS - does anyone else think Jax is beginning to look the same in every pic? Ha-ha :)

He really is such a funny and happy kid but in most pictures, he is Mr. Serious - what a silly billy! Love you cutie pie! Oh! and just in case anyone was concerned about his recent 'bath hating episode' - well.... We're Back in Business...

Mother's Day 2011

I love Mother's Day! I think even going through the "infertility years" I still liked it minus maybe one or two years where I pretended it didn't exist (you know what I'm talking about Ranie - thanks again). It really is such a great day to remember all the fabulous women in my life. I have the best mom & sister, mother-in-law and sisters-in-law and the best girl-friends ever!

However, around here Sundays are NOT the funnest day since our naps are cut in half and we end up staying up later sometimes too... poor little things. So... that evening we went over to Spence's mom's house after visiting with my mom (love you mom). We hung out with his fam for a bit too long and therefore these pics came a little too late in the day :)

HA-HA - not the happiest "we love you mommy" pic but I couldn't expect more on a long Sunday. I love you Jax, Austin and Rio. I'm the luckiest mommy ever :)

April Update 2011

Well, once again, I've let an entire month go by and not posted. I have got to get better!!! I hate posting long posts since it takes too long to read and so I apologize!
Anyway, here we go...

We were able to do so many fun things with our friends and family. I didn't get pics of all of them but I have a few. We had our first triplet play date with our friends Reese, Avery and Lucas, my friend Roxy's kids. They had so much fun and so did I :) Thanks Roxy!

We finally got to see our new little friend Evan as well - my friend Ranie's new little baby and his adorable brother McKay. We already love Evan so much!

We also were able to play with Melissa and Alicia's kids at the Aquarium. What a cute place! My kids are probably a little young still to grasp the idea of it but they loved the penguins - it was really cute to watch them stare at them. We got a big group pic below - so cute! Thanks you two - we love you and your cute kids!

My kids are totally into "playing cozy" lately too. I just say, "let's get cozy" and they'll grab a pillow and lay down and roll around - it's so cute how they understand so much at such a young age. So the other pics are them "getting cozy" with their cousins, Ella and Brinlee and grandma & daddy.

I have more fun "play pics" below but my favorite "event" of the month has got to be the pics below! I was at a fun triplet mom night out and so Spence was with the kids. He gave them baths and got them in their pj's and then was cleaning up the bathroom while the kids played in their room. Well, little did he know what they were ReAlLy doing...

Oh yah, that's Desitin alright! Caked on Desitin! But seriously, how cute are they? Jax looks so adorable with his beard and Rio with her hands completely covered. And of course, my sweet and more reserved Austin just has a little on him. However, they did cover my hardwood floors just outside their room and the rails of their cribs as well. I can say how cute they are because I wasn't here but Spence wasn't quite as happy as I was looking at the pics when I got home. He thinks it's hilarious now however :) Oh, the joys of simply turning your head for just one brief moment. (By they way, it was my fault that the Desitin lid wasn't all the way on :) Oops! )

EASTER:

We had such a great time doing "fun" Easter things this month. We had an awesome egg hunt at a park by our house. The kids didn't quite do the hunt on their own however but it was really fun. We ran into some friends there too that we hadn't seen in awhile which was so fun and saw a bunch of our great neighbors too. We also did a fun egg hunt which the kids actually did do at Grandma & Grandpa Morris' house. The kids loved it! Thanks so much for such a fun hunt! We love you :)

Another favorite thing we were able to do this month was go with Melissa and her boys to an adorable farm place where they had the cutest petting zoo I've ever seen! My kids had a blast!! They couldn't get enough - we really could have stayed there all day! The petting zoo had a baby cow, goats; including a baby one, sheep; including a baby one, pigs, chickens, rabbits, and a donkey. It was so fun for my kids - they sat down with them and would go up to each animal and pet them with no hesitation. I cannot wait to go back again. Thanks Melissa for thinking of it and letting us go with you :)
I wanted to put these other fun pics below because I thought they were so cute! I know everyone thinks that their kids are so funny but mine are no different! I laugh everyday so many times a day that I couldn't count. Bathtimes are a riot! Jax especially - as you can see below. He is so dang cute - he is sitting in his Bumbo chair because he LOVES to kick and splash and he can't if he doesn't sit in one so he gets a Bumbo while the other two just sit or stand. He is so happy and cute. (However, in the last week or so, he has started to be afraid of the water and acts really nervous now - he won't even sit down :( It makes me so sad because honestly two weeks ago, he laughed and smiled the whole time - WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!) Any thoughts???

Anyway, these last two pics are my other two sillies. Rio loves necklaces and bracelets already! Kids come with certain likes and interests don't they? If she can't find one of mine, she'll find something to become a necklace. I have one pic where she has about 5 shell necklaces around her neck and this lovely pair of goggles as well. She found them in one of our gym bags one day and hasn't stopped wanting to play with them ever since. She uses it as a necklace or giant bracelet but she also figured out, (with my help of course) that they can go on her eyes too! Austin joined in the fun as well and laughs so hard when he wears the goggles. He will walk around for 15 minutes at a time with them on just laughing with Rio. Silly kids!

How lucky am I right? I love you three!
