Merry Christmas!!!

I hope that everyone's Christmas was filled with joy and love. Ours certainly was. The girls had a great first Christmas. Technically, it wasn't there first Christmas but last year they were only a week old and they were in the hospital, so to me it is. It was so fun to see Christmas through their eyes. I think I was more excited than they were! The girls loved opening all the great presents they got. I am still trying to figure out where we are going to put all the new stuff! I included pics from last year also just to see how much they have grown. They are truly the best gift!

Triplets, Triplets, and more Triplets!

Last night we attended the annual Aggieland Multiples Happy Birthday Jesus Party. There were seven sets of triplets and one sets of quads ranging from one to twelve. The party was at Chuck E. Cheese and the girls had a great time. They were fascinated with everything going on around them! There was lots to see. They even got to eat pizza for the first time!

Happy 1st Birthday girls!

Happy 1st birthday Addyson, Brooklyn, and Caitlyn! What a year it has been! This is an emotional day for me thinking about all that we have been through over the past year. It wasn't always easy, and there was lots of trial and error, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Time has gone by so fast and I treasure each and every minute that we have had together. A year ago, it was a very scary day for me but it turned into the best day of my life. I have three beautiful, healthy girls. You will never comprehend the depth of my love for you. I cannot wait to see all that the next year holds for you! Have a very happy birthday!

Hope you enjoy the slideshow of the past year. More pics to come soon.....

Never a dull moment

As if things weren't crazy enough around here, getting ready for the girls' birthday and Christmas, we found out yesterday that they all have ear infections, and Addyson even has a double ear infection! Three babies with ear infections is no fun! We started antibiotics yesterday and the girls seem to be feeling better. Please pray for a speedy recovery for the girls. We almost made it a whole year without any illness!

Breakfast with Santa

The girls went to Breakfast with Santa today at our church. They had a great time with their cousin Mason and good friend Whitney. I wasn't sure how the whole Santa thing would go, but they actually did pretty good. Well, two out of three isn't too bad. Caitlyn was up first, followed by Addyson, and then Brooklyn. By the end though it was naptime and they had had enough!


Patiently waiting for everyone to get done eating

"Hmmm...you don't seem too bad"


"I'll give mom my deer in the headlights look"


"Get me off of here before I lose it"


"Have I been naughty or nice....let me think about that one!"


"I think nice!"


And finally the group shot.....



I love it!

Christmas Preview

I just had to post this picture because I think the girls look so cute in their Christmas dresses. Of course none of them are smiling but getting them to all look at the camera is good enough! Hope this gets you in the holiday spirit!

My Chloe

Last week, the day before Thanksgiving, I had to say goodbye to my dear pug Chloe. She was truly my first "baby." Chloe was diagnosed with Cushing's disease earlier this year and over the past few months her health quickly deteriorated. We believe that in the past few weeks she had a stroke and I could no longer bare to watch her suffer in pain. Losing her has been hard on me, as our house just isn't the same. But I know that she is in a better place.

I just wanted to write something small about Chloe in her honor. She will forever be loved and missed. This is a picture of Chloe and our other dog Duke.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! The girls had a great first Thanksgiving with my family and ate lots of stuffing and sweet potatoes. I have so much to be thankful for this year but mostly my three beautiful girls, loving husband, and wonderful family and friends.

Happy 11 Months!

Happy 11 months to my three little divas! The countdown to the big day has begun! It is hard to believe that it is right around the corner. Since I am oh so bad about writing in the baby books, I thought I could at least write some stuff on the blog so I will have some kind of record of it. This is what the girls are up to at the moment.

Getting the girls to sit still long enough to snap this picture was quite a chore. They are never in one place for long. Brooklyn is getting closer and closer to walking. She loves to walk behind her push toys and is cruising the furniture. Addyson and Caitlyn long to see the world from two feet like their sister, but are still struggling with pulling up. They can easily get up on their knees but are still working on getting up to stand. But if you help them, boy do the love it. They love to stand at the couch, their music table, anything they can find and bang their hands on it like a drum. They really think they are big girls and love for you to tell them so.

Addyson and Brooklyn are waving bye-bye and we are all working on saying "mama." Everyone loves to say "dada," but mommy needs some love too :) The girls are really starting to enjoy books and love to pile on top of you as you try to read them a book. Some of their favorite foods right now are butternut squash, spaghetti, grilled cheese and pancakes. But they will eat anything you put in front of them! We are working on feeding ourselves and I can only imagine how "fun" dinner time will soon become.

My favorite time of the day is when I go get the girls out of their beds in the morning because as soon as they see Brian or me they get the biggest grins on their face. I think the girls are all pretty easy going and happy babies. I cannot say enough, how blessed I am. Brian and I are big fans of John and Kate plus 8 and I love at the beginning how they say, "It may be a crazy life, but it's our life." So so true, but I wouldn't want it any other way!

Newest set of triplets in BCS!

I wanted to congratulate the Staude family on welcoming their three beautiful boys, Trevor, Mason, and Alex. They were born on Friday and are doing well. You have truly been blessed with three little miracles!

Ranch Weekend

The girls traveled to the ranch last weekend and spent time with Nanny, Dodie and PeeWee. They had a great time cooking, walking in their walkers, taking a stroll in the pasture, and enjoying the nice weather. They love to play on the hard wood floors. As soon as you put them down they hit the ground running....in three different directions!

Trick or Treat

The girls celebrated their first Halloween as the cutest little bugs I have ever seen! They had a great time getting dressed up and they got to see lots of friends.


Addyson the ladybug


Brooklyn the dragonfly


Caitlyn the butterfly

The girls got to see their friend Elliott who was born at the same hospital they were. They were in the hospital at the same time. Elliott and Caitlyn had quite the eyes for eachother.....We may have to keep an eye on these two!


A frog and three bugs........Impossible to get four babies to smile!





Whitney, the other dragonfly


Four bugs and a fireman!


Hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween! I can't wait for next year!
