I am such a bad blogger...

Okay, so I am horrible at blogging...but here is a rundown :)

The babies turned 1 on March 11th! I can't believe it...they amaze Andrew and I everyday...to think of the past year, it brings tears to my eyes. They are my joy, my laughter and they can sure bring me to tears...both happy ones and frustrating ones :)

Wyatt is my little man, he has 6 teeth and he loves music...he loves to dance and bounce to music. Wyatt enjoys riding the quad with Daddy...when he hears the engine he starts to shake with excitement...so cute! Both boys LOVE Daddy, when Dad gets home from work...they want him. They will actually cry if I try to take one of them...Dad only...which is totally fine with me after a long day alone with them :) Wyatt is my lover, when either of the other two are crying he tries to hug and kiss them...which ends up making them more mad, but its really sweet. He is the best kisser...He gives those open mouth kisses. Nice and slobbery...Wyatt is not yet walking, but climbs around, crawls, and seems perfectly fine with that.

Austyn Rose...mmm...she is just beautiful, she is such a girl...loves clothes already...oh geez, we're in trouble...she LOVES her stuffed animals. She gathers them all up and dives in head first to lay in them. Austyn loves her Mommy...she is 100% mommy's girl. I love it...She caress' yor face with her sweet, soft hands...she is very gentle for the most part. She loves to cuddle and be read to. She and Colt are my climbers...they have figured out how to climb onto the rock hearth...scarey! They move things around so they can climb on top of them to get into something they shouldn't. Sneaky babies...

Colt...well, he is the Leader of the Pack...LOL, he walks very well and gets into everything, very well! Loves to climb...stands on things he shouldn't but is so intrigued by the world. He has 1 tooth...poor thing, but he chews the best? Huh? Yep, he eats a ton of food and burns the most energy being Colt. He too, LOVES Daddy...When he cries, he rolls his tongue, just as if he spoke spanish...He is our spanish crier...RRRRRRRRRRRR...histerical. He has also figured out how to trigger our trash can to open (its one of those ones when you wave your hand across the sensor it opens) well, he waves his hand over the sensor and when it opens, he comes running to me because he is scared! LOL...my son is afraid of the trash can, but not heights....

All of the kids love being outdoors, playing in the dirt, riding on the quad, and riding in their wagon. It sure is crazy chasing after 3 one years, all of which are going in different directions! We need a fence! Dad's next project is putting one up...

They enjoy being read to, and all end up fighting for a seat on the readers lap...usually me, so it can sometimes end in reading 3 stories at once...yes, it is possible!

I am working on weaning them off the bottle...we are down to 2 bottles a day and working on cold milk in the sippies...they are not quite sure about it, but doing better everyday. They still like their baby food, but eat lots of big people food too...its just more of a challenge to get them to eat it...They love waffles, PBJ's, cheese, bananas, beets (shoestring), carrots, goldfish, graham crackers...and their favorite, Apple Cinnamon Nutri-grain bars! Here are a few pics...

Fun Pictures!

Grandma put balls in Wyatt's shirt to make him have boobies...he kinda laughed but was too n tuned with his baby einstein videos...but we had a good laugh!



I gave all the babies a sippy cup - which they are still "learning" to use, but I layed them all on a pillow and they stayed!?!? Did you hear that? They stayed...yeah for only 10 seconds, but enough time to get a picture...I love that!

My sweet Colty, he did so well in surgery, I am sooo glad its over. Thiw was our time with him in recovery, he loves his Daddy...but then again so do I! What an awesome man he is! But anyway, Colt bounced back so quick, it is quite amazing how resiliant these little people are! Thanks for all the prayers!

Mommy and Sissy...she is such a little girl, and she loves her Momma! She loves to play with Colt and the two together are so fun to watch, they giggle at each other all the time...their new thing is to shake their heads at eachother and laugh....not so funny when I am trying to feed them!

My little climbers...into everything...

Our 3 sweet babies

Life gets crazier!

Its amazing how much the babies are doing now..getting into everything and they aren't even walking yet! We love to go outside and they cruise around in their walkers all over the front yard. They have discoverd "off roading" LOL...they have been taking their walkers off the pavement and onto the dirt...eating leaves, getting poked by bushes and getting rocks stuck in the wheels. Austyn puts everything thing in her mouth, and she loves to pick the leaves off the bushes and put them in her mouth! Scary...I am constantly digging something out of her sweet little mouth. We have been trying all sorts of new foods, foods they can pick up and eat themselves...histarical! Austyn likes most things...avocados, bananas, graham crackers, cheerios, egg yolk, etc...Wyatt he is about 50/50, Colt, hmmmm....he must have some sort of texture issue, because he gags on most things excpet his graham crackers and cheerios...and I mean, up comes the bottle he just ate...funny, but frustrating. :)

Colt has figured out how to move things over to the mantel and climb up on top! My goodness he is a smart and curious little guy! I already have my hands full with him alone, God only knows what it will be like when he starts walking. He is trying to take steps already, where did my babies go? They are so big!

Wyatt has 2 bottom teeth and is cutting his top left, poor guy is a little miserable from it. None of the others have any teeth...Wyatt loves to have his little belly rubbed, he just lays there with me and he giggles while I rub his belly, I love it! His smile melts your heart! Wyatt is my little loner :) He prefers to play by himself and becomes quite upset when the others try to play with him, which is basically taking his toys. He doesn't like when the other two touch him, he gets really mad. I guess maybe it was the 7 months they sat on top of him in the womb that made him this way. Its pretty funny though. He loves music still and loves when Mommy dances and sings...I am pretty good! Ha! Actually, they all love it when I do that. They just smile and stare! One of their new favs it disco music...YMCA! Oh yeah!

Austyn Rose, she is a mommy's girl. She would have me holding her all the time if she had her way! She gives the best hugs and loves to cuddle when going to bed. She also LOVES her stuffed animals. She will gather them all up and dive into them face first and giggle at them. It is too cute! She has also been really into stealing the others binky's, she thinks its cool to have one in her mouth, and one in each hand...hmmmm, sounds like her Mom...I was the same way, according to Grandma Cindy!

Speaking of Grandma Cindy, she comes tomorrow! I can't wait and the babies love her so much! I wish we all lived closer :(

Please pray for Colt, on Monday the 26th, he goes in for another surgery to repair his hernia, again! Ugh...I am soo upset that he has to go through this again. I hate it. Thankfully this time it will be an outpatient surgery. But please pray all goes well.

Well, today we're off to get shots! And Andrew can't make it to help me, he is really busy today, so I am off to face it alone....oh my....

Anyway, bye for now!

Rainy Weather

So its been raining for few days and the babies had cabin fever...cry, cry, cry! Ugh, I thought I was going to lose my mind yesterday! I feel bad for them because I know they get bored. Same ol' Mom, same ol' toys, same ol' routine, day in day out. We did go grocery shopping the other day and they were sooo good! Smiley and attracting all sorts of attention, as usual. This man was walking by and said "Congratulations! I think..." Ba Humbug to you too, Sir! Are you kidding me? people are so rude! Anyway, for the most part people ooh and aahh over them so we are blessed!

Today I needed to bathe them all before we leave for their 9 month well check and so I had the babies I wasn't bathing in their walkers...well, Colt wasn't very happy that he wasn't the one being bathed, so I put him in the other room where the gate is up so he could play...all of a sudden I hear him whining, not crying, but more like he was stuck or something, so I go in and he had climed into a laundry basket of clothes, and was high centered on the edge of it...immediately when he saw me, he laughed! What a hammy! Wyatt has been pulling himself up on things and he is soo proud, excpet for when he needs to get down, he can't seem to figure that one out...so he falls, cries, and then does it all over again...he'll figure it out!

Austyn Rose, she is really loving Mommy these days...a little too much :) Doesn't sound right, huh? What I mean is she wants me to hold her all the time. I feel bad for her but I can't hold her all the time...ugh! I think she is teething and is just uncomfortable. Poor thing, but she is so cute. She waves and says Mama and Dada. She loves stuffed animals. She rolls around tackling them and giggling. My aunt just bought them all a really cute stuffed animal and she gets all 3 together and rolls all over them.

They are so fun to watch and we are looking forward to Christmas! I can't believe the babies are 9 months already! :(

"Fall" is amongst us!

So the babies are getting big. Colt and Austyn are crawiling everywhere. They are breaking through all the barriers I build! I need to purchase some gates! Poor Wyatt he still hasn't figured out the crawling thing, but is still as cute as can be. Colt has learned to pull himself up on everything, into the standing position. Then falls backwards! Ugh! It scares me... The crazy thing is, he can't sit up on his own. Wierd huh? He is a maniac, I tell you, very determined and so much energy!

Austyn is crawling everywhere and loves to hear her own voice. She loves to scream, especially in the hallway where it echo's. She's a smiley girl and so girly when moving her hands around, it's funny!

Wyatt is very precise with his hands and focuses very well. Watching him hold things, analyze them, spins stuff with his thumbs and then stops it on a dime. He is a solid little guy who loves to be tickled. Its so fun.

All in all, things are crazy here. We went on our first trip to Utah to visit Andrew's family. It was a ton of fun and great to be with everyone. The picture attached is the multiples in our family. 2 sets of twins, our neices Taylor and Tylee are the older girls and Graci and Ruthi are the yonger twins. So cute!

My babies are getting big!

I can't believe how big our babies are getting! Colt and Austyn have been getting up on their knees and rocking back and forth! It is so incredibly cute...they are still so little so when you see them it is just hilarious to watch. Colt and Austyn seem to be quite little buddies lately. Poor Wyatt...but he loves being off by himself humming and playing with his toys. Such his Daddy's son! Anyway, Austyn thinks Colt is so funny. She giggles so hard at him for 20 mins at a time. And all he is doing is smiling at her. She will roll over to him and pull on his bib and laugh. It is so cute. Austyn can be so mischevious...she totally knows when she is doing something she is not supposed to, like stealing Colt's binky out of his mouth. Colt is such a ham and is pretty intense. He loves to play and is really strong. He hits so hard! How to you teach a 6 month old not to knock his Mom out? :) Wyatt is our little porker, he loves to eat and has a little pot belly. He loves the sound of his own voice and will hmmmmmm ALL DAY LONG!! Ugh...I know it sounds really cute but after hearing it all day you wanna tell him to put a cork in it!
Grandma Cindy, my Mom, was here last week. They love Grandma...and so do I! :) She has been so great to us and comes out about every 4-5 weeks to help. The babies sure do know who she is and their faces light up when they see her. Wyatt especially loves her...they are little buddies. It might have something to do with the fact that Mom and Grandma are both crazy...singing and dancing all the time - he thinks she's pretty funny!
So yesterday I was at Target with the babies and this lady asked me if I had any other children, I replied "no". She then asked me if 3 at a time was harder than 3 born seperately?? Uhhh??
I get some really good ones, let me tell ya...like did you have them all at the same time? Ah, yes, thats why they call them "triplets"! Or are they identical? "Did you notice they were 2 boys and a girl...and take a look, do they look identical?" Okay, I'm done, I know thats mean, people are just curious...but come on peeps :)
So we leave a week from today to go to Utah and visit family. I will be staying for 2 1/2 weeks! Wow...I am a little nervous, okay a lot nervous. Andrew will be with us for the 1st 5 days, then he goes back home to work for a few days and then leaves to go hunting in Colorado for a week. We are sure going to miss Daddy! :( I am really dreading being away from him. We'll miss you Dad!!
