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!

Catchin Up

Well, it has been awhile since my last post. Brian and I took a trip to Mexico to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful time. It was hard for me to leave the girls but they were in good hands. I had several days of planning, list making, and cooking before we left and things went off without a hitch! We had a great time doing absolutely NOTHING....sleeping in, taking naps, laying on the beach, and having no schedule what so ever. After four days though, I was definitely ready to get home and see my babies!!! Here are some pics from our trip.

So cute!

Here are some random pics of the girls that I have been meaning to post. I could not believe how much the girls changed just in the few days we were gone. It is amazing! Brooklyn has been pulling up for awhile. She is now walking behind her push toys, taking several steps. Caitlyn has begun to pull up and I'm sure Addyson is not far behind. All of the girls are saying Dada and babbling like crazy. I think they already have their own language! Some of their favorite times are bathtime and mealtime.

"I am so over this breakfast mom"


Here I go!


Addyson holding her bottle all by herself. Such a big girl!

Pumpkin Patch

The girls went to the pumpkin patch at church last week and got to see lots of pumpkins. They liked playing with the small ones but their favorite part was eating the hay! They are so curious these days and love exploring new things. Here they are checking it all out.

Our New Favorite Thing

We have been spending alot of time outside lately enjoying the beautiful weather. The girls have new walkers that they love to play in. Caitlyn and Addyson are starting to get the hang of it, but Brooklyn took no time at all. She can get to the end of the driveway in 10 seconds flat. It is fun to watch them play bumper cars!

I can do it too!
