There's a teenager in the house!

Happy Birthday Lucas!!!

I can't believe that my first baby is no longer a little kid! He is becoming such a great young man! We have a very cool party planned for Monster Mini Golf tomorrow night!

I found this poem and tweaked it for Lucas!

The Triplets' Big Brother

He loves those triplets an awful lot
And helps them when he can.
But triple trouble came his way
The day their lives began.
He needs an army just to guard
The things he most enjoys.
And plugs to cover both his ears
From all the extra noise.
Sometimes they like to hug his neck
And then he knows he's blessed.
A little daddy to them all
He is the very best.


WE LOVE YOU LUCAS!!! Mom, Dad, Will, Logan and Jess

Awesome Autumn Adventure!

What could be better on a crisp fall day than a trip to the local cider mill for fresh cider slushes, hot cider and of course cider donuts! We took the crew while my sister and cousin were visiting. Everyone had a great time both eating donuts and playing in the huge pile of leaves!

Will loves to dance!

Everyone loves to listen to music and sing and dance along. However, it is next to impossible to catch on video since the minute they see the camera they stop! Our answer to this problem - film from behind them! Dave was able to finally catch Will dancing! Turn up your volume and enjoy!

Halloween 2009

Halloween was a blast! We started out with the kids in their wagon, but they really enjoyed walking to the doors, so we let them walk. Lucas pulled the wagon for us. We took the kids to just a few houses, but Jess and Logan were having a fun time walking around and getting candy in their bags! Will was the most uneasy, but as the pics show - he is definitely enjoying the candy! I am looking forward to next year when they will really "get it"!








While we had our company last weekend, we went to -

We went with the Boyers and walked thru the amazing carved and painted pumpkins! There were almost 5,000 pumpkins! Here are just a few of my favs!







This pumkin makes our princess look even tinier! LOL!

Birthday Fun!

I know that everyone has been waiting for birthday photos, but last week got away from me. We had a few different events the whole weekend that my sister and cousin stayed so I have tons to catch up on! We have the aquarium, the cider mill, Will's first day of school, doctor visits and new stats, and of course Halloween that all need to be blogged about! Also,this week Lucas becomes an official teenager! He turns 13 on Thursday. I guess I will try to break everything into small posts instead of one huge one so please check back often as I try to get back on track!

OK, with that out of the way, first up is the birthday party! It was a great party with only a few family members who traveled from far away (Thanks guys!) and a few close friends who I consider family. We rented out the community center like last year and brought the kids bouncer over for them to play. They had a blast, but I'll let the pics do the talking!
