It is very common in our family to celebrate birthdays more than once. We celebrated the babies' birthdays on their actual birthday and then again on the weekend. (click here for birthday cakes post from their actual birthday) So of course they had a new set of cakes for this birthday.
When Scott left for his deployment, Cayden could barely ride his scooter. Now, a month later, Cayden can really get around on it! I love watching him! Of the three or four kids in our neighborhood that sometimes play with him and ride scooters with him, he is the only one who wears a helmet. I can proudly say that I don't have to remind him of putting it on, he just knows he has to do it. You might think that I'm being overprotective of him with this helmet (he has to wear it when he rides anything, even his tricycle). But just tonight I heard a story from one of our babysitters that tells me that it's okay in my wanting him to wear it. She was riding her bike (when she was younger), hit the curb, fell and cracked her helmet on the fall. To me, that is all I need to make sure Cayden always wears his helmet.
Here's some various pictures of the babies eating the cakes. Aleah is on the right of the babies. Cayley is in the middle of the three) and Bryce is on the left. Cayley

Bryce at the end of the cake eating. I think this is the messiest I have ever seen him.

And some videos of the kiddos in actions.
I made the babies their cake for their 1st birthday today. They each had an individual cake and then we ate off of the #1 cake. There was some extra cake from making the number 1, so I frosted the extra cake. That somehow turned into Cayden's personal cake. 
(not sure why Bryce's cake looks pink. It really was frosted in white).
What!?!? It's been a year?!?! Crazy how time flies. Here's some pictures of the babies after their morning nap on their 1st Birthday.
(Aleah is on the left in the picture and Cayley is on the right. I think you can probably tell which one is Bryce.)
Bryce wouldn't stay still for his picture. I call him our "mover and shaker".
Here's some pictures of supper the other night. We had hot roast beef sandwiches, mashed potatoes and gravy. The kids love this meal. I usually try to keep them pretty clean, but obviously, with three infants, it is impossible to keep them clean!

Cayden (always the cleanest!)
The day has come, the babies are about to turn one!!!! Maybe I shouldn't be excited about this major milestone, as it means my babies are getting older. To be quite honest, I don't know if I would remember what has happened in the past year if it wasn't for this blog. But back to the real reason of the post...
Soon, no more fomula!!!!!!! I am so excited to not have to buy any more formula! I was so excited that I thought I would take a picture to remember this moment, our last three containers of formula. I have started to introduce whole milk, and all is well so far.
Also towards the left side you can see our last box (hopefully) of baby cereal. I plan to have them start eating oatmeal and other cereals for breakfast.
We, the four kids, myself and Grandpa Johnson, headed out to the fair for military appreciation day. They have a lunch and offer free rides for the military families, so we thought we would venture out for the day. Here's some pictures of our adventures (there's a lot of pics because it is easier to put the pics on here so their daddy can see them while he is deployed. It takes so long to attach them to an email):
The day started off a little chilly, so I shared my sweater with Cayden.
The babies at the lunch.
Cayden pumping water at the lunch.
Cayden learning how to rope a "cow".
A successful Cayden after getting his "cow"!
Cayden took Grandpa Johnson down the big slide.
The tornado, the only "big" ride that Cayden (and I and Grandpa) went on. (Another family watched the triplets).
Cayden before the tornado started.
The babies later in the day, while Cayden was enjoying the rides.
And if you think one set of triplets can make a scene, two sets of triplets definitely makes a scene. It was so fun! The "other" set of triplets are about 3 months older than our babies. Left to right: girl, girl, boy-leaving their names off to respect their privacy. It sure was fun to talk to the parents, someone else who knows all of the things parents of multiples experience. 
And maybe one of my most favorite pics of the day: Cayden and mommy on the ferris wheel.
