Summer Vacations & Fun Times

Well summer has ended - atleast according to the school calendar, not mother nature - and we had a bunch of fun this year. Now that the boys are older, it is a lot easier to go places and have fun. Still crazy but fun!This year we went to Galveston and had some fun. And pardon the sideways photos - I need to learn how to turn them right. Sorry.

Boys at the Rainforest Cafe

They were scared of the Dinosaurs at Moody Gardens

The Galveston RR Museum
The Zoltar on the Strand in Galveston

Firemans Fiesta Fire Truck!

The always fun trip to Sears - they are just like their grandpa!

But now that they are older we are now hearing things that bring back memories from when we were kids. The new phrase in the house is "your not my friend". Lane loves to say this to Wyatt and to daddy when they dont give him his way. It really is hilarous. And they are constantly playing together and arguing together and love to complain that the other "is going to drink it all" when they are sharing a drink. It is never a dull moment, but otherwise fun and full of memories.

Toddler Life

Well we finally have two down and one to go. Lane and Wyatt are potty trained for the most part, but we are still working on Reid. Finally my diaper bill is cut by 2/3!!!

Also the we have adjusted into our new toddler beds. They boys are doing really good in them and love to sleep in their "new beds". No one has fallen out yet, but they really don't have far to fall in these. Here is a picture below of Wyatt asleep in his new bed with a package of Oreo's in his hand.
We have also run into the terrible three's...age and number of children:)! They have become very sneaky and very mischievous! This is a picture of one morning about 4:30 a.m. they decided to get up and play in their room with a bottle of powder. Yes, baby powder! It was so bad, I just had to laugh...and did a lot of cursing while cleaning it up for 2 hours. The morning before they dumped the whole box of gold fish down from the top of the stairs! Needles to say, they have started to figure out things to get into just when I thought I had it all put up and out of their line of sight. Seems like they are evolving, so I guess that means I have to start thinking like a 3 year old boy (or maybe I will just ask Ryan what he sees:))...but it is still fun and they definitely don't give me a break!

Another family portrait - tt-ing on the rocks! Go Grandpa!

And most everyone knows about the snow we have had for the past 3 years in a row! They like it, but soon discovered it was COLD and it was much warmer inside. So we played a little, but not long and back inside we went. Of course this did not let us escape the dreaded cold/flu/mess that has been going around. We all have been so sick for the past two weeks. Wyatt had RSV and pneumonia last week and the other two have just been snotty and running fever. Then of course mommy and daddy get it and it knocks us both down with fever and bronchitis, then Nana and Grammy have it now....love those germs! Hopefully we are mostly over it now, everyone in the family is on antibiotics (against my judgement), but we just could not shake it this time! uggh!

Updates...& Happy Holiday's

Well it has been a while since my last post...we had a good Thanksgiving and a great Christmas! The boys have been playing with their new train table that Santa Claus brought them pretty much every waking moment since they got it...of course with lots of fighting involved. I don't understand why no one warned me about the amount of fighting involved with multiples. It is crazy! I told my mom we needed Santa Claus to bring two train tables, but we decided that they need to learn to share...now it is up to me to see how much fighting I can take before I buy another one!

We got to take pictures with Santa this year and they did really good. I had to sit in on the pictures though to get them to stay there.

We also got to go to the Christmas stroll this year with the boys...They loved the parade and started to watch the Polar express movie they were playing.

We will see how tonight goes with the fireworks...last year they were pretty scared of the noise, this year I don't think that will be our problem! Happy New Year to everyone!

Our 3rd Birthday!

The boys turned 3 last Sunday (Oct 17) and we spent the day with Thomas the Train. They are really into trains and tractors now so we took them to Rusk, TX to ride the train...they actually had Thomas there and they were thrilled. It was a long drive, but well worth it! We met some of our family there and had a great birthday party. It is so hard to believe they are 3 now! They are growing up too fast!

FAIR TIME

Last week was the Washington County Fair and we took the boys for the first time. It is hard to imagine that three years ago that week (sept. 19, 2007) Lane's water broke and I was in the hospital for a long ride! We all have come so far since then and are still on the crazy ride of triplets chaos. Anyway, the fair was great for them. They are the perfect age to enjoy the tractors, which they are in love with, and all of the animals, but I know in about 13 years or so it will be all about the beer and girls. Can't wait!!!

SCHOOL

Hello everyone - so sorry it has been a while since I have updated this, but we have been super busy! The boys started school in August and we have been going non stop since then. They started at Grace Lutheran Day school last month and are doing great. They are in the Pre-K2 class with Mrs. Beckendorf. They are loving school and their new friends. They cried for the first week but now they go running in happy as can be usually!
Our classroom

They love their backpacks! They are so cute!
