Two or so!

Drum Roll Please!

Well I know some of you are curious how we fared with IKE. Our side fence came down and decided to try and come into our house. So IKE came to visit. We also had some water damage in our living room and I'm sure there is some in the Dining room but since we are going on 10 days with NO POWER we can't vacuum up the glass to no for sure yet. We are staying at my mom and dads so its not bad. We are told we may not have power till Thursday. We are grateful to be safe and sound. The rest is temporary!

So here are the results:

JT 29lbs 150z

33.5 inches long (he is 1 1/2 inches taller than his sisters!)

He is all boy full of rough and tumble. He loves his sisters or loves to harass them I'm not sure which :). He loves to make you laugh and tickle you.

Claire 27lbs 5 oz

32 inches long

She is the little mother hen. She has to know where everyone is all the time. She is also the chatter box. She has the most words and is always singing. She is warming up in dance class but not sure we will make it??

Hazel 26lbs

32 inches long

Well little miss peanut. She has given us a scare but in the end she has a cyst on her Kidney that we will be following up with a Urologist about. Compared to what it was looking like we are so thankful. She loves to sing her ABC's and 123's. She is a very picky eater and has to stay on soy milk since she was breaking out to milk. She DOES NOT like dance class so we will give it a few more weeks and decided?

We have started potty training but nothing intense. Claire has gone a couple of times but nothing consistent. They even say potty to Hazel and she runs screaming! We are in no hurry!!!

We have also decided to separate JT and the girls. They are not sleeping well at night and on the weekends. They are playing and aggravating each other. Our plan was to work on their rooms but IKE crushed that plan. So Mimi and Pawpaw took them early so we could get the work done.

Pictures will follow when we get home and get power!!!

Labor Day

Farm Life

We took the trips up to the farm to spend time with family. We also took my 2 nieces. We had so much fun!!

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.

Claire checking herself out in the mirror. You will notice in the background Haz glued to me!! :)

Birthday Party

It was a Ducky Luau party meant to be at the park but due to rain it was at our house with 26kids and 25 adults!!! We had a great time.

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????

Claire honking her horn

You talking to me? Her shirt says little miss giggles!
JT driving!
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 trips promoted Sunday to the two year old class and will promote Monday at school!!

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.
