Triplet Lunch @ Sweet Tomatos

I have to give fair warning in advance, since my blog is like a mini-journal these days, this post is to help me remember some crazy triplet days so it's a little less descriptive.

 

My friend Roxy had a great idea to have a "triplet" lunch date at  Sweet Tomatoes back in the beginning of March.

Sweet Tomatoes is such a "kid friendly" place and I always feel a little better about eating out if I know they're getting some veggies and fruit :)  I know, dumb reasoning but it helps my mind anyway.

They were so sweet to accommodate all of us and even reserved an entire section.  Maybe because they wanted to cut our chaos off from everyone, ha-ha

Here was our group!

*Love these families*



A few pics of our little gang - yummy!

A few of Roxy and her kiddies, Avery, Reese and Lucas

Amber and her twins, Molly & Mason - her triplets and other 2 older boys were in school

Yep, that's right - 7 kids: 2 singles, set of triplets and set of twins - all natural too!  She is such an amazing mom.



A few of my friends Angie and her triplets and her baby Karson who is 8 days younger than Logan, so fun!

Some pics of my friend Marci and her trio (Cooper, Carter and Kennedy) with her older cutie Kenzi

Her boys were loving their pudding :)

Kimber and her kiddies - she's got her little triplets and 2 older kids too

I know!  I'm amazed by all these incredible women

Diana and her girls, Brooke and Haley.  Her other 2 (including one of the triplets were at school)

Lori with her trio (she's got 2 older girls) and Hilary with 4 of her 6.  She's got 3 older girls and then had spontaneous triplet boys!  Wow!  What a shocker right?  They two are so sweet and great mommies!

Kate and her boys

Julianne and her little trio and baby girl (born a month after my Logan)

After lunch, a few of us came over to my house to play

*Karson and Logan, little buddies whether they want to be or not :)*

All 11 kiddies and Rox enthralled in watching Strawberry Shortcake songs - so cute!

Winner, playdate, an "ouch!" and my softy heart

 So this is honestly the least "fit" I've ever been in my entire life so in December I started going back to the gym and in January I did a 6 week boot camp which was a fun competition and well...I have to brag - I won!! Yah for me :)  Ha-ha

It was so fun that I actually joined there for a few more months and I absolutely love it! It's called Ozonefit and is amazing!

Here's my prizes!

We are so lucky to have such fun friends and we try to play as much as possible around here.

My friend Angie has triplets too that are 3 months older than mine and she's also got a little boy that was born 7 days after Logan - we're so lucky!

*Karson, Kaden, Austin, Lia, Jax, Rio, Hunter and Logan*

We had so much fun playing over there making and decorating cupcakes with lots and lots of green frosting

*Jax, Rio and Hunter*

Had to document these moments although they are so sad...

Poor Rio was running around with the boys and jumped on the couch and came down on her head on the corner of the couch and split her little head :(  No stitches, thank goodness but it was a pretty big gash.  Luckily, kids are amazingly resilient and she was totally fine.

Now that the kiddies are getting a bit older, they are realizing, well...Rio is realizing that sometimes she needs a little "girl time."  She was invited to go play a her friend Eliza's house one day with their little friend Paisley and so Rio left and the boys stayed home.  It is so great that they are individuals but it is going to break my heart every time they separate whether by choice or invitation.  When Rio was leaving, she said, "bye boys, it's just for the girls."  And Jax came running to the door with shoes in hand saying, "hurry mommy, put my shoes on."  So sad to watch his sister leave him behind so my soft heart felt bad and said, "let's go make brownies boys!"

Needless to say, they quickly forgot and we had fun making brownies together.

Love you boys!

A few "firsts" for Logan

Logan started getting really frustrated with laying down all the time so I thought, "let's give it a try sitting up" and well...

not shockingly, he did awesome!

Leaning over...

 Almost got it!

 Did it sweetheart!  You're sitting!

3/2/13 (6 mo)

 Sitting down! 
Now, let's try food...

Logan has been eating cereals for a few months but now - he started his fruits and veggies and loves them all

Well...maybe not his first bite :)

 "Not so bad"

I had to add these last pics in of him sitting because he is so dang cute!  He is such a big boy already and as much as I love it, it is hard to see time fly so quickly but we love watching you grow sweetie pie!

Valentines Day Extravaganza 2013

Okay so it might look a little gross but the kids loved it!

*Pink pancakes, sausage and applesauce with pink sprinkles*

Happy Valentines Day!

Bright pink batter -delicious!

Rio loving her yummy pancakes - she's so cute, she was trying to say "cheese"
 and couldn't quite chew at the same time 

Here's all the Valentines we made for our sweet cousins and grandparents - what a fun craft for the kids - they had a blast decorating specifically for each person 

YUMMY!

These are the Valentines the kiddos got from mom and dad

*yummy chocolates, cool heart glasses and jump ropes*

Another enthusiastic picture - ha-ha.  They really did love it though

The best Valentines gifts I could ask for!

(Don't you love how Logan is looking at Austin?  He loves his brothers and sister and loves when they play with him)

Lunch time!

*Bugels, apples and heart shaped Nutella sandwiches*

Our sweet Fougler friends joined us for lunch and cookies



As much as they loved breakfast, nothing could beat a Nutella sandwich!

Well...maybe cookies could!

The kiddos were finishing up their Valentines waiting for the cookies to cool down

Roxy helped Logan eat some food while I got the frosting ready and Logan loved it!  He is such a friendly little guy :)

The other 3 kiddos finishing up

Decorating time...

My Rio on the other hand just goes fro the frosting and skips the cookie all together

Austin is such a methodical decorator! He takes a long time figuring out just how he wants the frosting to look and where to put the sprinkles - it is so fun to watch him

These two (Avery and Jax) are similar in the fact that they put TONS of frosting and sprinkles on their cookie and then usually eat the frosting off the cookie - silly kids!

What a sweet boy Logan is!  He is such a cutie and has the sweetest smile and presence - what a little light he is in our day

"Heartbreaker 14!"  Sounds about right?  Look out ladies...
