Summer is almost OVER!

I can't believe summer is almost over! As much as I love fall, next comes winter and I'm not such a fan. So, we have been trying to stay out of the house as much as possible. We've been visiting different parks, lots of trips to the zoo and we even went to Spring Mill State Park a couple of weeks ago. My cousin's little girl was turning 1 and they were camping there...she is a brave girl to take all 4 (ages 7,4,3,1) of her kids camping! The boys had a great time running around and getting dirty.

Park...Colter would NOT get out of the race car. He sat in there for literally an hour!


The crew! Can you believe they are all looking at the camera??

Say CHEESE!

Jessica, this picture is for you!

These pictures were taken at the Gus Grissom memorial in Spring Mill State Park. The boys were so excited I was letting them touch everything. Their facial expressions are so funny when they think they are getting away with something they shouldn't be doing.

And finally...my new do. Next go around I'm going for something drastically different...any suggestions?

Sarah's Car Fund- HELP!

http://tripletsplus1.blogspot.com/

This is a fellow triplet mom who has been struggling financially. Most recently her car broke down and it is beyond repair. Several people have been pitching in to try and help her come up with the 1500.00 she needs for a down payment to purchase another one. If you have anything to spare I know she would greatly appreciate it.

Let's join together and help a sister out sarahgocar1114@yahoo.com, you never know when the tables could turn!

Total Meltdown!

Sean went to the Dave Matthews concert Saturday so the boys had another date with their mommy! I had no idea what to do but didn't want to stay in the house...they were driving me crazy. So, I decided to take them to a local creamery to see the moo cows. It was a nightmare! I had never been there before so I parked on the wrong side of the building and had to pull 100 lbs of babies up what seemed to be a mountain to see the calves. Colter decided all of a sudden he was deathly afraid of them and had a complete meltdown. Cooper followed his lead and then Cale threw his sippy cup into the cow pen...one of them ate some random person's ice cream that was sitting on the hillside... it was horrible. Some couple who didn't speak a lick of english came to my rescue. I must have looked like an absolute mess! Did I meantion that Cale starting screaming because he didn't want to leave?? Being the good mommy I am I loaded them all up and drove back up the mountain and let Cale see the cows again, he was thrilled.

The weekend did get better. We found an awesome park and played in the creek! I have a few pictures but I accidently deleted a bunch...any idea if you can recover them from your camera...uuuggghhhh!

It just hit me...College!

As I was driving my little men to see their Grandma and Grandpa on Sunday a thought hit me like a ton of bricks. I know this is a little early or 17 years too early but it seriously made me tear up a bit! We went from 0 to 3 kids and in 17 more years we will go from 3 to 0! I called Sean and he said maybe I could talk one of them into staying at home and going to college in town and live with their mommy forever...although that sounds nice I do want them to grow up and become successful adults eventually but for right now I'm enjoying EVERY moment!

Softball Tournaments, Butterfly Gardens, Hot Air Balloons and the County Fair

I'm not sure why but every weekend lately seems to be filling up. What happened to our lazy Saturday mornings? I honestly love our busy days and am amazed at how quickly the boys are learning. It seems like every day its a new word or something they figure out. They point at everything and say, "that?" until I answer them!

Cale (baby A): He is SO mischievous! He is also our first to throw a tantrum. I honestly just have to laugh about it at times...not to him of course. I knew he would be the most will full of the three. He LOVES to dance. ANYTIME he hears music he will start busting a move. He is extremely outgoing and love being outside!

Words: bubble, that, pop, mama, me, dada, dance, back pack, night night, more, hop, hat, dog, cat, up...and animal sounds: horse, cat, dog, sheep, goat, snake, rabbit, frog, cow, elephant and fish

Cooper (baby B): He's a little trooper! Of the three if something is going to happen it will happen to him so he is one tough little guy! He is doing so well! He is probably the biggest mama's boy at the moment. He LOVES the Backyardigans and almost refuses to eat without a fork. He smiles and laughs ALL the time. Everyone who meets him always asks me if he ever quits smiling!

Words: bubble, pop, mama, me, dada, papaw, night night, more, dog, up... and animal sounds: horse, cat, dog, sheep, goat, snake, rabbit, frog, cow, elephant and fish

Colter (baby C): He is the biggest jokster of the three. His facial expressions are SO funny. He is sneaky and knows how to get his way. He is SO fast and LOVES everything he can't have. If I would let him he would carry my broom around all day.

Words: bubble, that, pop, mama, me, dada, backpack, night night, more, hop, dog, cat, up...and animal sounds: horse, cat, sheep, goat, snake, rabbit, frog, cow, elephant and fish

I'm sure I'm forgetting some words but those are the biggies. They have also learned the signs for: me, please, thank you, more, milk and eat.

They are all three so different! Its crazy how much I love these little guys! We have been having such an awesome summer!

After the zoo we visited the butterfly gardens.

A Night with Mommy!

Sean and some of his buddies went to the Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd concert today so the boys and I spent some quality time together. They were so good but we were all going a little stir crazy with the rain this week so I loaded them up and we went to Walmart for a few things, wild life, huh? I decided to try a little craft with the boys so we spent the evening decorating cookies and making a surprise for their daddy. We had such a great time making forts and playing I really didn't want to put them to bed but I figured they were ready when they all came to sit on my lap saying "Night Night". As soon as their little heads hit the mattress they were out!

They loved the crafts, they were so into it! I was suprised how well they did with it!

The FINISHED PROJECT!

Then we baked and decorted some sugar cookies and they were YUMMY! The boys were helping me stir with their own spoons and buckets/pitchers! :

They love wearing our jackets! Here is Colter mixing his cookies!

The rest of my pictures!

This was my attempt to get a picture of all three of them and it was going well until...

Cale fell off the wall into a bush he was NOT happy so our photo shoot was OVER!

The highlight of our walk with the boys in Frenchlick was the water spicket.

The boys loved all the room to run!

Some of Colter's priceless faces!

My niece came with us and it was great to spend time with her! She was a huge help and we had fun going down all the water slides 50,000 times!

and this is what my husband looked like when she got down with him. He was such a sport...and SO PRETTY! He would kill me if he knew I posted this picture!

The rest of the weekend we played in the yard and visted the park. The boys were exhausted by Monday!

They have all formed a deep love for my broom so I bought them all one and they drag them every where...I hope this is a sign!
