Birthday Party time..

I can not believe that the kids are 5.. OMG how on earth did that happen.

They had a great birthday, a fantastic day in fact. Here are a few pictures from their exciting day.

Happy Birthday..

Well Happy Birthday Party.. Their birthday is not actually till Tuesday, we are celebrating today with a party at TNT. 19 children all under the age of 6, what fun..

They have had a great morning so far. I will update with pictures later today.

The boys play T Ball...

The boys had their first T ball game yesterday, I have no idea how they got so big so fast. Hard to believe they are almost five years old.



They grow up so very fast..

Five year old Dr appointment went great

OMG it is so hard to believe they are getting so big...

Keith Douglas at birth 3 lbs 4 oz, 13 inches long, today at five years old
38 lbs 42" long in the 25 to 50%

Kalie Rose Birth 3 lbs 7 oz, 13" long today 35 lbs 41 1/4 " 25 to 50%

John Michael 3 lbs 11 oz 14" long today 40 lbs, 42 1/4 " 25 to 50%

aww they are not babies any more... how the heck did that happen.

Oh wow, it has been a while

Sorry for the delay in letting you know how things are going with us. Things have been insane to say the least.

We have been sick since Jan. it started with me of course, I came down with a nasty case of Strep. Just when we thought we had survived it without any of the children getting it Douglas got it. Two weeks later, just when he was getting better, John Michael got it as well as oral virus that causes blisters in and around the mouth, similar to hand foot and mouth but not HFM. You would know that not one of them gets but so does Kalie, thank goodness by the time she showed symptoms we knew what to do to make it to where it did not get as bad as John Michaels did, but poor JM he got it so bad. His lip still shows signs of it.

Keith has been traveling for work and I have been busy rehabbing my foot. We are still not out of the water with surgery but I am not doing it anytime soon if it is decided we have to go that route.

The kids are registered for Kindgeration, hard to believe they are old enough to go to school. They are getting so big and have come so far in five years. Yes it is almost five years now, they will turn five on the 31st of this month. Oh my where oh where did the time go.

Kalie and I are traveling to Mississippi next week for a girls weekend, daddy is staying home with the boys.

Other than that life is as always hectic as can be.

Christmas play

All Dressed up and ready to sing..

Our first broken bone

Well we all knew it was going to happen it was just a matter of when. We were leaving the dr's office when JM and Kalie closed the van door on Douglas's hand, the only saving grass was we were at the doctors office. I ran them back inside and then we were sent for x-rays. My quick dr apt turned into a full day of dr appointments and did not get home till six oclock in the evening. Thank goodness daddy came and picked the other two up.

Christmas with the Triplets

Christmas was a fun time for everyone. We had a great day and for the first time every they opened their presents in about 30 minutes. It has always been an entire day thing for us. Oh well. they had a blast and Santa was good to them.

Our Christmas Picture

Even with mommy hobbling around on crutches it seems that everyone is having a wonderful Christmas so far. We do not know yet about surgery but we are not letting that slow us down any. As you see we went for our annual visit with Santa, JM is asking for a guitar, Douglas wants a polar the express and dump trucks, Kalie a doll house. So no big surprises there.

As for mommy we still have no updates on my foot, we will hopefully know something in on Monday. Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts.
