Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone! We had a great (but very busy) Easter!

Cayden enjoyed seeing what the Easter Bunny brought him.



After a few tosses of the eggs during the Easter egg hunt, Cayden did learn to "gently" put the eggs in his basket.

The Easter Bunny even stopped by to say hi!


Not sure where Brycey was during all of the commotion during Easter. We were teething and seemed to have colds going around, so my guess is he was off somewhere catching some much-needed sleep.

Skating...

Cayden is taking skating lessons! Some of you blog-followers out there know that I teach figure skating. Well, Cayden finally gets to sign up for lessons! After watching our annual ice show the other weekend, all he could talk about was skating. I found him a pair of skates (yes, he "gets" to wear figure skates-not hockey skates, because I said so) :) Last week was his first time skating without me, his mom, with him. He did OK, but wanted me to skate with him (which I can't do-he has another coach to teach him). The coach that was helping him was very patient with him, thank goodness! We only ended up with tears a couple of times. At the end of the lessons, the skaters can go skate on the "practice ice" by themselves. I think he moved more practicing than he did in his lesson. One lesson down, only 5 more to go for this session. Hopefully the next lesson(s) will go better. (sorry for the blurry-ness of this next picure). Here is Cayden attempting to stand up. His coach told him to act like a puppy-dog, which he took literally.

Cayden playing in the snow

This video was taken in the middle of March. Cayden went outside to play while his daddy "worked". Our smallest dog loved this winter because our backyard would drift so high that the little dog could run over the fence. So Scott was out clearing the drifts away from the fence while Cayden played in the snow. I was told to come watch Cayden play on his swings. It was too funny that I had to get a video of it.

Sleepy Children

There is nothing more precious than sleeping children. Here are some pictures we have of the munchkins lately.

Cayden wasn't feeling good one night, and Scott and I woke to him climbing into our bed. This is how we found him in the morning.

Here are the girls resting peacefully on afternoon (Aleah is in pink, Cayley is in green).

Let me out! I was getting ready for work on morning and Cayden comes running to me, "Mom, come quick. You have to check this out!" Poor Aleah was trying to bite her way out of her crib.

Cayley has always liked having something on her head when she goes to sleep. I went to check on her the other day, and she had her blanket in her mouth and fell asleep that way.

Bryce, leave it to our "chunky monkey" to fall asleep with one of his stuffed monkey's foot in his mouth (he has 3 monkeys, 2 are the same and the third one is different)

Jumpy Seat Videos

The babies have really started to have fun in their jumpy seats. Here are some videos of all three having some fun. In the 2nd and 3rd videos, Cayden is trying to tell you (the viewers) who is who. Careful: Cayden first does really tell you who is who. Then he gets silly and decides to call each baby by different names. So you are not confused: in the video's Aleah is on the left, Cayley is in the middle and Brycey is on the right.

Our Energizer Bunny - Aleah

She kept bouncing, and bouncing, and bouncing. She couldn't get enough. I caught a little on video. Her dad wasn't home at first when she started jumping, so I quickly grabbed the camera. Little did I realize that she would continue to jump (with minimal breaks) for about 10-15 minutes. Her dad was able to catch her jumping in action.

Brycey laughing...

Brycey doesn't need toys either. He has a big brother that can make him laugh!

Who needs toys...

when you have each other!!! These girls just think they are so funny. Brycey doesn't really know what to think. I think he is trying to figure out what they are laughing at. (Aleah is on the left, Cayley is in the middle and Brycey makes an appearance or two on the right).

Who is Who???????

Here's a few pictures of the triplets dressed the same. We very seldom dress them the same. Actually, I think this is the first time that they were in identical outfits. Can you guess who is who??? (Click on the link for the "comments" for this post to see if you guessed correctly!!) There's a reason that these babies are very seldom dressed the same!






One of them looked like they were making a puppet out of their sibling. It was really funny to watch!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hoping you had a Happy Valentine's Day! I claimed I would never put those little head bands on my girls, but I just couldn't resist these for Valentine's Day!

Poor Brycey was sound asleep before we set him up to take these pictures of the triplets. He was pretty out of it for the pictures.


(Bryce, Cayley, Aleah)

Cayley is keeping a watchful "hand" on her brother. We also discovered on Feb. 15th that Brycey got his first tooth! He's still pretty crabby so we're wondering if there is another on its way!

Not sure what Cayley was smiling at in the following picture.


And poor little Cayden was feeling under the weather on Valentine's Day (had a fever). He wanted to watch a movie on his DVD player with his special head phones. He was freezing so he was trying to get bundled up in his daddy's blanket. Poor guy! He didn't really want us to photograph him, but we snuck this picture of him anyway.

Triplets are 6 months old!

The triplets had their 6 month birthday on February 6th. We have a doctor's appointment coming up February 20th. Can't wait, more shots! AHHHHHH! And Bryce has a follow-up appointment with the pediatric cardiologist from MN on February 24th. I'm anxious to see how this appointment turns out.

Group Picture time! They turned out decent! Got a couple of them smiling in a couple of the pictures!

Aleah's 6 month old photo shoot

Aleah's 6 month pictures taken by her mommmy. What a star! Here is our picture experience!






Just chilling in her cool sunglasses!

Cayley's 6 month Old Photo Shoot

Here's Cayley's photoshoot taken by none-other than mommy photographer. She was pretty entertaining. I think I wrote this in another posting. I wanted to share our whole picture experience with you, so here are all of her pictures!






Cayley and her stylish sunglasses!

Bryce's 6 Month Old Photo Shoot

Here are some pictures that I took of Brycey. He looks so excited to be having his picture taking in some of these. Normally, he is a very smiley, happy little guy!
(I know many people just put their best pictures of their kids on their blogs, but I thought I would share our whole picture taking experience with you!)






Brycey with his best bud, his monkey.
