Intro.


Kris and Dave met 19 years ago while Kris was in college and Dave was on his first of several enlistments in the Navy. We have 4 beautiful kids. Lucas is 16 and he is the best big brother ever! He loves his brothers and sister. He has been waiting a very long time to be the "big brother".

William, Logan and Jessica were born Oct.25 2007 at 33 weeks and 5 days! They only spent 10 days in the NICU and came home on their big brother's birthday- Nov. 5 !! This blog will be about the ins and outs of our crazy life.

Monday Morning Updates - Fun Weekend - lots of pics!


It was a fun weekend. The weather was great Friday Afternoon and Saturday so we took the triplets outside for some playtime. We used our new climber and tried out the sidewalk chalk! They had a great time. We also had our first swim lesson Sat morning and no one cried! Jess is still our water baby and loved the whole lesson. Logan took a bit to get used to it, but he seemed to enjoy it. Will was the most unhappy and spent the whole lesson hanging on for dear life to me. I hope it gets better next week! The other big news - I got out of the house by myself Saturday afternoon! My friend Darcy and I drove to a very cool consignment shop and had fun shopping without kids! I found several good buys and we decided to make it a monthly outing. The men stayed home and watched the kids - found out that they spent nap time playing Wii! They stayed for dinner and it was nice to hang out with friends. Yesterday was a yucky rainy day so we did not do much. We did go buy sand for the basketball hoop and ate lunch at the food court at the mall and let the kids play. They took a great nap afterwards! Now as promised the pics -

17 Months Old!



How is it possible that my crew will be in full toddler hood mode in just a month? That 18 month mark is creeping up on me and I don't want time to go so quick! They are growing and learning so much everyday - it is amazing. Dave and I already wonder where our cute, tiny babies went- we are seeing definite toddler tempers and tantrums already LOL !

Will has a great smile - when you can catch it! He is still the snuggler and is definitely a lover and not a fighter!



Logan is all boy and always on the move - makes getting pics interesting! He shows lots of spunk/attitude and gets frustrated when he can't do something the way he wants!



Jessica is becoming our little lady! She loves to wear necklaces and bracelets made from their toys and loves to look at jewelry! But don't let that cute face fool you- she has quite a temper and throws an Oscar worthy fit when she deems it necessary!


All in all, they are doing great and having lots of fun being 1, but look out world 2 is just around the corner! Happy 17 Months!

Get Down Jessica!



Jess keeps climbing on the desk. I must tell her 20 times to "get down" and move her off and she just keeps climbing back up there! UGH!! I am having one of those mornings of feeling frustrated and just thought I'd share! Hope your morning is going better than mine!

Monday Morning - Finally Have Pics!!

Well, we still don't have the charger for the camera, but Dave was able to find our older digital camera that runs on regular AA batteries. We still don't have many of our pictures hanging and these pics are not the best quality, but I really wanted to get them posted. So without further ado - our new house in pictures! (there are lots - sorry!)

This is the view just as you walk in the front door.


Here is the main living area. We put the tv on the wall so that the trio would leave it alone! LOL


The dining room. Notice how everyone is sitting at the big table! The glass door leads out to the back yard and the other door leads to a huge pantry and then the garage.


My favorite part - the huge kitchen complete with dishwasher and garbage disposal!


The house is like a huge rectangle with a long hall and all the bedrooms run off it. There is a door closing off the bedrooms from the main living area. I love that we can close it and not worry about waking up sleeping toddlers!
Here is the long hall - it is really hard to give you a perspective, but anyway.


Right after you enter the second part of the hall and go left you hit 2 bedrooms Lucas' and the playroom. Here is what Lucas' room looks like. Even though we have only been living here little over a month - his room is getting messy! Typical Teenager!




We turned the fourth bedroom into a playroom for the trio. They love it!








As you head down the hall, you next hit the kids bath on the right and a huge linen closet on the left.


Dave finally figured out how to put all the bath toys in order!


Next down the line is a huge closet on the right which we are using as a game closet and extra storage area and the laundry room on the left.





The last two rooms at the end of the long hall are the master bedroom with full bath on the right and the trio's bedroom on the left. We put up room darkening shades in their bedroom and now they take great naps in the afternoon!






I was able to put vinyl stickers all around their room. I chose characters from Winnie the Pooh.



OK, if you made it this far - Thanks for looking! We have a semi busy week with playgroup on Tuesday and their therapist here on Thursday with an extra PT helper. Saturday we have our 1st swim lesson! Since I am able to post pics now, I promise to put a few in almost every post to make up for the lack of pics lately! Have a great day!

Spring Pics

As you can see from the new header, the photo shoot with the bunnies did not go as well as I would have liked. I really love the pic though and the other one of my favorites is this one-

Logan and Jess did great and took everything in stride, but poor Will had a rough time. I hope that he grows out of this soon (he has a great smile that we never see in the pics) or I may have to pay extra to do a photo shoot here for their 2 year pics! LOL
