Warming up to their room

So here's how it went! They went into class and cried! So Miss S. tried to make a deal with them that if Mommy came in they would participate!?!? hmm well Mommy ended up holding Haz but Claire did warm up some and even put on a tutu! I think we were successful? Next week we are going to not let them see Mommy outside the room and they should do better.

Okay for those who don't know our Pawpaw works in Alaska. He gave us these very special books from Alaska for our birthday. We have the best Pawpaw EVER- The Triplets!
Mimi and Pawpaw got the trips tricycles for their birthday and Mommy and Daddy got them helmets (safety first!!). So we took them to Mimi and Pawpaw's house on Sunday for their first test drive. Somehow these tricycles have horns????

You talking to me? Her shirt says little miss giggles!

Yeah I'm two! His shirt says Mr. Mischief my middle name is trouble?
Hazel her shirt says little miss Sunshine (does it fit?)

We THANK all of you for coming to their party and those that couldn't that were thinking of them on their day. The lord has blessed us in so many ways over the past two years.

THE BIG 2

The babies turned 2 this past Thursday! They had a great day in San Antonio eating lunch with Shamu and visiting the dolphins and all the other animals. Then they went for their first trip(s) down the Comal River. They did GREAT. Claire kept wanting out of her tube to swim. JT chilled with one hand and foot in the water at all times. Hazel poor Hazel she doesn't really care for the water but did great. She would fuss but then jump up and laugh!!! It was a great weekend with family. Pictures are coming our Internet is down. :(

I will have a full 2 year rundown when we go to the Dr for their appointment. Hope you have a great week.

Clownin Around

CLOWNIN AROUND

What does 6 Adults + 10 kids and lots of clown = Priceless!! Okay so I'm not so good at the imitation! We too the trips to the circus and had the best time. Although we didn't think it would last 2.5 hours the trips did great. All this kids seemed to have a great time. The looks on their faces were priceless!! :) THANKS to EVERYONE who helped today.

It truly was the greatest show

JT clownin (sorry so fuzzy) he LOVED the nose

Hazel wasn't so sure about it

Claire the grumpy clown :)

My Angels

The big kids! (the noses blink)

The big girls wore their noses home and I couldn't quite laughing!!! I kept seeing this blinking light in my rear view mirror!!!

**Update: The trips had their first taste of diet coke (Mommy's drink) today and it is now 8 o'clock and they won't go to bed!!!! Or maybe they are still overjoyed from the circus?? I think we're in for a long night! Still wouldn't trade this day though.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July!

The triplets stayed their first weekend in a castle.The Inn keepers were great and the triplets enjoyed having the run of the castle. We took them to SA to see SHAMUUU as they say! The had a great time except it rained on Friday so we didn't get to do much but Saturday we spent most of the day at Sea World. It was a great time with Aunt P and Uncle Genn. We hope you all had a wonderful 4th.

Update

House of Joy!

This household had been very busy lately. Memorial Day weekend we enjoyed the long weekend at our family beach house with some friends. Then on Sunday we celebrated at my parents house with some toddler 4 wheeler riding. This was also when we were introduced to our newest family member Mumbo. She is a black and white boxer who is only 8 weeks old. The trips weren't sure about her since she has some sharp paws and wants to jump on them. She also wants to play!!! JT and Claire loved riding in the 4 wheelers but Hazel was not impressed!!!

Hazel and her cousin. Hazel please wait till the car comes to a complete stop!

JT, K, Claire, and H were having a blast. I could hardly get them to stop for this pic!!!

Here's MUMBO!!!

Claire and Mumbo

The cousins recently had their annual dance recital. Both girls love to dance and we are excited that Hazel and Claire will be joining them next year. They will start Creative Dance in August. Here is JT with H after the recital at dinner.

K and HazelK and Claire

We have had more changes in the house too. Last weekend Hazel learned how to unzip her crib tent. So we decided it was time to move them out of their cribs. So we moved all of their dressers to one side of the room by the daybed and put a gate across so that they couldn't get to them and harm themselves. Then we put their mattresses on the floor (tried their toddler beds and they aren't ready for them yet!). We are on night number 4 and it is going well. JT and Hazel have swithched beds but it really doesn't matter.

Many of you may not know but I have been looking for a new job recently. I needed something that would allow me to be off on weekends with daddy and the trips. It was a hard decision since I LOVE where I work and it was where the babies were born and they took EXCELLENT care of them. Anyway I had an interview yesterday that took about 3 hours and by yesterday afternoon I had been offered the job. It has been a long process but we knew that the Lord would provide the perfect job and we believe he did. I will miss TWH but know this is the best move for my family. I begin my new job on Monday June 16th :)

We have also been a sick household since this past weekend. The trips have bronchitis and I found out today I have strep throat and daddy is on his was to the dr now. So we didn't get to celebrate to much last night but promised we would as soon as we felt better.

Okay I know this is an old picture but I couldn't figure out how to delete it???
