Sweet smile! October 2011

So as I am updating our blog, I am going to start with each child. So much has gone on in the past year, so I want each one to have thier own post.

My first born, Hunter Matthew. Oh my where to begin? He is SO funny and loves loves loves to make everyone laugh. Such a hoot!! We crack up laughing at him daily, and when he sees that he is making you laugh, he keeps going with whatever silly face, or move he is doing. He is Hilarious!!!! I love that he knows how to make me smile, especially when it can be in such a serious moment, like when I am trying to punish them for throwing food on the floor at meal time, or whatever it may be. Silly boy.
He is very loving, loves to give and receive hugs and kisses. We do group hugs with the girls, and solo hugs. :)

His favorite animal is of course, wait for it.....a BUCK! Go figure. He can find a buck anywhere!!!! Obsessed. (just like his daddy) He wears camo almost everyday. We have it in every color possible. And he likes his buck shirts too. He loves his daddy's duck call, and can do it really good. Better than Pawpaw!! Haha!! I am already nervous about his first hunting trip with Daddy to Missouri. Of course this wil be in 3 years (if I can help it). So his name is fitting....

Favorite foods are strawberries, blueberries, bananas, Mac&Cheese, Grilled Cheese, Tiny Pancakes, waffles, Deer sausage!! He eats of course more than this..but this is his favorite. :) It took us a long time to get him to eat meat (You know his daddy was getting upset..haha) but finally it took off. Hunter is my picky eater!!

Hunter can throw a ball better than any 2 year old I have ever witnessed. Amazing. We really think he will be a great ball player one day. His favorite toy is a ball, any ball, football, baseball, little or big..he loves them.

He loves ducks, elephants and dogs too. We love going for walks to feed the ducks at the lake.

The past year has been semi healthy for Hunter. He's only had minor sicknesses like ear infections, and cold viruses. Thank God. He did have 5 ear infections in 4 months, so we were worried about tubes. But so far we do not need them.

Hunter is doing great at speaking, and can say 3 word sentences. He has really picked up on his words, and has a large vocabulary. So proud of him.
He is also being potty trained right now, and goes potty twice a day. This is much easier than I thought it would be. However, we have not pooped yet. Ha! He says he needs to go, but just sits there. The kids love going potty. I am so proud him!!

Yummy Veggies- March 2, 2011 - 11 months old

Triplets First Birthday

He's such a good boy and in our eyes, he is perfect. Thank you God!! He started his life weighing 2.13 pounds and 14 1/2in. long. Today he is almost 28 pounds, and 35.5 inches tall. We are so blessed to have him as our son.

Sleep? Who me?

I think the hardest thing to being a Mom to triplets is the fact that I get NO sleep. Seriously- I have not gotten more than 4 hours a night in months. Oh well. One day I will take the longest nap on beach in Mexico. :)  For some reason, I gave birth to children who do not care to sleep all night. Emma is the best and sleeps ALL night most nights. Khloe has her nights where she will sleep all night, however, she has MANY nights where she wakes up all night long. No clue why?! Hunter varies. He is the worst though, and will wake up several times a night. He stands up, throws everything out of the crib and screams! Loud! Very Loud. Then, the girls wake up. Welcome to my nights. :) If you see me out in public, and I look like I need sleep, now you know why. I get very, very frustrated when I hear and get advice from other multiples moms whose children sleep all night. Why don't mine? And some think I am doing something wrong. What am I doing wrong? We play hard all afternoon, they eat a big dinner. I have tried everything. Shortening naps, making them longer, playing with the air condition. Is it too cold in their room? Too hot? Too bright? What's up? ahhhhh we will figure it out. Hopefully before they are 18!! Ha! Till then, pray that I don't turn gray.

Erin & Scott are parents!! :)

Erin and Hadley

More exciting news to share; my brother and sister in law, Erin, are parents!! They welcomed Hadley Marie Avis into the world on  May 29, 2012. I was able to be there (waiting patiently in the waiting room) for the arrival. Perfect, healthy baby!! She's so beautiful, and has already stolen my heart. My kiddos have been so lucky to have already held Hadley and have seen her a few times since she has been born. Erin is doing great and just went back to work. They are great parents. We are so happy for them. Matt and I are also excited that we are Hadley's sponsors. She gets baptised on August 10, 2012.

Our Nieces

Before I update on my babies, I would like to talk about my two new beautiful nieces. Matt's sister, Tammy and her husband Jason, had their second daughter on September 30, 2011, Isabella Ann. Gabriella is now a big sister!! We love our nieces so much, just wish we could play with them more. Between our children and Gabby and Bella, someone is always sick. However, we love them so much and we think of them daily. :) Bella has now passed up Khloe in weight. haha!! Gabby is getting to be a big girl and is so sweet, she will be 3 on October 1st.

Isabella is getting so big!!

Where has the time gone??

Our children are now Two, actually, make that 27 months in a few days. Seriously!! We are parents to 3 sweet two year olds. I have not written/blogged in over a year, mainly because we are SO busy and there is no time to sit still. When I do have my own time when the babies nap, I like to take that time to run on my treadmill, lift weights, and then shower. They nap for 2 hours- and I look forward to my "me time", as I know, this will someday go away. Some say I should sleep while they nap. I can't. I have tried this and I am more tired when I awake. I love to workout, so this keeps me Sane..instead of the alternative..we don't need that. :) Did I mention..two year old triplets?? :)

So at night, once they are FINALLY asleep (this takes awhile these days), I like to eat dinner, watch some junky reality TV or whatever I have taped, then go to bed. :) So there is no time to blog. I get on Facebook when I am on the treadmill during my cool down, or at night once in bed. Although lately, I am really sick of it. SO I want to start my blog again. I like going back and seeing how far we have come as a family and mark down what the children are doing. They are growing so much, it will be nice to have this to run to and write on every now and then. I keep up with their baby books pretty good too(for me--haha).

Here are a few pictures from Good Friday- in Burton

Anyway, the next post will update what the kiddos have been up to lately. They are my pride and joy and Matt and I are having so much fun with them, and learning daily new things about ourselves as parents. It's the hardest job I have ever done, yet the most rewarding one ever. I am so thankful I can stay home with them and see everything they do daily. We are so blessed.
