Stay tuned for some video!

On the day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

One u-haul trailer and 28 small blocks of cheese!

We took a little road trip on Christmas eve and had to rent a U-haul to get us there. We stayed at Sean's mom and dad's house and had a great time. The boys were completely spoiled! Memaw rocked each of the to sleep which they all loved and papaw fed all the boys. Of course we had to pack almost our entire house for one night but it was worth it. The little men slept all night in their pack n' plays, they were so good!

On Christmas morning we all got up and Sean's mom started to make sausage biscuit and cheese balls (their family tradition) but she couldn't find her cheese. She was certain she got it so we searched the fridge...nothing. So, Daddy and Papaw set out on Christmas morning to find some cheese. They went everywhere that was open and came home with 24 small blocks of cheese, they were .99 a piece...the most expensive cheese I have ever bought. I had to grate all those little blocks but the tradition was saved.

The boys actually enjoyed opening their presents. Of course they were facinated with the ribbon and paper but also got very excited when they saw the toys. Christmas was so much fun, I can't imagine next year.

Their favorite toys were defintely their books and anything that plays music. They have been dancing since Christmas morning. My favorite present they got was a year's membership to the Indianapolis Zoo. THANK YOU MEMAW! I got a new camera lense....YIPPEE and Daddy got a TomTom (if you know my husband he is ALWAYS lost).

We started a few traditions of our own and had a WONDERFUL 1st Christmas!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I will be posting a slide show later...

The cutest little girl ever...

Are you all ready for the digital conversion?

We're all finally healthy!

Knock on wood but everyone in my house is healthy at the moment. The boys have been in wonderful moods the last few days. I have so much to update everyone on I don't know where to start.

We have a new nanny starting on Monday. I think she is going to be wonderful. She spent the entire day with us Saturday. The boys warmed up to her very quickly and she was great with them. She's also a paramedic...what a plus!

As for the boys, they are dance machines lately. I can't sing at all, and I mean that. I am sure at least one of my friends will chime in here and agree with this statement (you know who you are, lol). She has had to hear me sing on way too many road trips and always at the top of my lungs of course. What a good sport she was! Anyway, the boys will even dance to my singing...they do love their mommy!! There is a lot of booty shaking going on at our house.

Teeth! We have tons of them. In first place we have Cale with 8 and 2 more pushing through, Colter in second with 4 and 2 more pushing through then there's Cooper in last place with only 2, come on buddy!

Colter is getting VERY close to walking. He stands on his own and just when I think he is going to take a step he realizes what he is doing and falls to his bottom. Cale and Cooper are both cruising on everything. All three of them walk behind their push toys.

We've had lots of visitors lately. I think everyone must feel bad for us, we hardly leave the house. It is too freaking cold!

My friend Amanda and her cousin Sarah came over with her little boy Urban. He was so sweet to the boys and Cooper loved him. We will have to have a play date very soon.

Cooper and Daddy

Cooper has a natural mohawk so my dear husband decided to get one in honor of him, lol. They are both rockin mohawks, fohawks...whatever they are called. :)

I have been trying my best to get a picture of all three of them in a Santa hat. They all love to wear hats but they also love to take their brothers hats, making it really hard to get them to sit still for 2 seconds. So far I have only been able to get a picture of Cale and Cooper.

Pictures

After several cancelled appointments we finally got the boys pictures taken. They were VERY good. I'm not posting the Christmas pictures until after Christmas because they are a surprise to my family. :) Here are some of the others.

READY

SET

GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my life!

This week:
I am knee deep in snot!
Cooper has a double ear infection!
They all have colds, including my biggest baby! :)
They are ALL teething, not my biggest baby but you would think so. (He has sympathy pain for everything)
All of them have decided that 4am is a really great time to wake up.
My house is a disaster.
I have 3 weeks of laundry to catch up on.
I haven’t gone to the grocery store in a month so we are living on turkey sandwiches and take out. (Maybe this one isn’t so bad)
I have a nail in my tire.
And to top it off last night my dog rubbed her head in a pile of her own crap (is this a cry for attention?)
But really... WHO CARES! :)

It’s just been “one of those” weeks! As I was putting my little guys to bed last night I was overwhelmed with love. As mommies we will have moments we’re tested and moments of glory as if we feel like we have conquered the world. Nights we cry ourselves to sleep and nights we can't fall asleep because of our excitement about something. Moments we are weak and moments we feel like we are the only reason the our family can function. Mommies love so deeply it hurts, isn't that an amazing feeling?

At the end of the day, as I step over the laundry I have to fold into my unmade bed I just can't help but to be completely astonished at how God has blessed me. I have three healthy babies and an incredible husband who loves us very much. What more could a girl as for?
