More loose teeth for Austin

Austin got ANOTHER loose tooth!

One day, we were at the Aquarium and Austin said, "mom, my tooth is getting really loose."

I looked inside his mouth and saw this...

...um yah, his other tooth was already starting to grow in so I said, "K, it's got to come out ASAP!"

He wiggled and wiggled and it would not budge!

So, when Spence got home from work that night, he pulled and yanked and bam!  Out it came!

Daddy to rescue - whew!

I have a feeling there will be another one coming out soon enough...hopefully from Rio or Jax this time.

Cute kids!

Skate park & Chalk Fun

Oh how these kiddos love the skate park and taking a go at the hills with their scooters.  I am always sure to go in the morning when we are the only ones there since it looks a little silly having Logan ride his big wheel around on the hills - it's actually really cute though.

Jax and Austin ready to face their fears! (actually, only one of them is fearful and I'll give you a clue...it's not Jax!)

Jax

Rio

This little one however, is on team Austin and has a little fear to overcome but she does try hard and work at building up to the big hills.  It's really cute.

CHALK DAY!

Rio made herself a nice, cozy bed to lay on...

covered in chalk that one!

Logan decided instead of drawing on the concrete that he would instead draw on his face!  Umm...I guess that works too!

Austin liked the idea of a bed and drew himself one as well.

And lastly, Jax made this awesome sun, nice and carefully.  Shockingly (not), he does not like to get dirty.

Love all these unique little kids!

Labor Day @ the Splash Pad

Oh man...September is here!

Labor Day 2015

We had to make it to the splash pad one more time before they close up for the fall.

This one is so fun too because it also has a fun park attached.

We were able to go with Grandma and Papa Ranger and Andrew, Kisty and their kids too which made it extra fun!

Water time!

Spence and Andrew with our littles.

Blake enjoying some fun play with daddy.

Love Jax...he is always looking for ways to make a big splash!

Oh man, love that little face.

I love when others are with us selfishly because then I get to go play with these kiddos one on one - so fun!

Logan is hilarious!  He stuck his face right into the water.

Time for everyone to warm up!

Our little Blake has about 0% body fat so he gets cold so easily and was super happy to be wrapped up like a burrito in the warm sun.

Logan getting cozy on the warm concrete.

And...back at it!

We busted out the squirters next and they all loved it.

Toweling off for a bit to get warm.

Logan had slipped and was sad so I got to hold him - lucky me!

Love all these kiddos!

What a fun, fun day!

Logan's class & the Dino Museum

This little boy loves his class!

He is super strong little dude too.

I had to take this pic of he and Jett - they are hilarious together!

Their teacher Miss Sarah is absolutely darling with them too - they already love her!

A few days later we headed off to the Dino Museum to expend some excess energy.  I always amazed at their energy levels - play hard outside and at school too and yet we are still so energetic!  It is so crazy but I gotta love it!  So grateful for their healthy little bodies.

Woo-hoo!  We built them all!

Well...actually 3 of them were already done but we took credit for all 4 anyway :)

The last stop before it is over is the sand pit to dig for bones...

Blake loved it!  He had quite the sandy diaper when we got home however which couldn't have felt too nice but I heard no complaints from him either.

We have got to get this girl to the beach!

She loves the sand and loves the sun - perfect combo right?

She had brushes in both hands and toes making a sand angel - love her and her amazing creativity!

Random pics in September

 Logan quickly got to work playing with all his fun bday presents.

The first was his new track from Grandma and Papa Dougie.

 He even let Blake take a few turns on the track - it was pretty cute to watch them play together.

 Next, the kids took out Logan's bug catcher kit and they were looking all around for bugs to catch and put in the little cage house.  It was pretty cute to see them working together.  The 3 kiddos are now seeing Logan as an equal more and more and they do a great job playing together. (most of the time of course.)

 We've been teaching the kiddos how to play checkers and chess a little bit and well, as predicted, Chess is a little tricky but Checkers was a snap!  Rio and Austin really love to play and took advantage of a free morning they had.

 This is the 3 kiddos with their buddy Riley Johnson.  He is a really cute kid and they had tons of fun playing with him outside.  

 I had to share this because I thought it was such a cute gift idea and it turned out super cute too.  Meliss and I went to a friends' shower and made this as a gift.  Cute right?

 This was taken at the aquarium one day that we stopped by after school.  We love going there because we can stay as long or as little as we want!  Love it!

 And of course I had to share this...WHAT?  Yes, that is snow - snow in September!  OH-NO!!! I was not at all ready for winter.

I had to share these silly pics of my triplet mommy friends and I bowling one night.  I think I already posted these...but I found them in this month's pics so I thought I better post or re-post just in case.

It was a really fun night and I really do love these mamas.  I feel very, very lucky to have so many friends that know the life of triplets and can help navigate through tricky times as they may come.
