Got to go

My beautiful sister Molly gave us all a good reason to go to the Temple and I got to go! This is at the Redlands Temple.

The orange bowl is gone!

So it is official, the orange bowl that has lived in the right side of my sink for two years is gone!

This is the bowl that has washed thousands of bottles and bottle parts in the last two years! When the triplets were newborn, we went through about 36 bottles a day! I had two bottle trees and one "grass". We just got rid of the last bottle tree - wish I had a picture of all of it at its high point, but that was when we were in survival mode and I didn't have enough sleep to regenerate the brain cells to think of something like that!


The boys don't really like milk from a sippy cup and it has been a rough 5 days - but there is no going back! Colton is my big holdout and did well the first day but on the second day he stood at the fridge crying and signing "milk" - for a lot of the day poor guy! I think he didn't want to give up the bottle because he can carry it hands free! Or, if he needs two hands to take something away from someone else but not drop his bottle he can do it. Well, he'll figure this out! Conner and Caleb have been for the most part ok!

I'm just excited to get some counter space back!

Scouts

Carolyn is in Daisy Scouts and absolutely loves the social part of it. They've been selling Girl Scout Cookies the last two weekends and has enjoyed it! At first she told me she was scared to talk to people but she got the hang of it really quick!

Cameron is in Cub Scouts and will earning his Tiger Cub badge really soon! One of the requirements toward the badge was going on a hike with his den. On that hike I was able to introduce the scouts to geocaching! We found 3 and they had a wonderful time doing it!

At the Park

Grandma & Grandpa Landmeier came to visit last week. We enjoy their visits and seeing the kids interact with them.

Sundays are hard

Sundays are hard around here. With church beginning at 1pm for 2012 and the 3 little boy's nap beginning at 12 noon (or sooner) - it makes for a hard day.

Caleb, still dealing with the cold symptoms from his 2 year old shots, had a really rough day. When we got home, it took him some time to get settled as he was way tired, but once settled... he was out!

Bath time fun!

These boys love water! And with this mild winter we're having, we are outside and getting dirty more than usual! So when it's time for "a bath", they march up the stairs and straight to it!

The Day Before Delivery

If you can remember all the way back to February 23... that was my day before delivery! And since I had to be at the hospital by 5:30am, we took pictures of my HUGENESS the day before. So here are the shots that you have all just been waiting for - to see how LARGE I GOT! (Warning: It is best that you don't view this on a wide screen... for obvious reasons!)

Cameron & Carolyn were so excited for the arrival of "the three brothers"!
My mom came up to be present at the delivery and to help with Carolyn & Cameron!

This picture is for my Aunt Judy... who joked with me my whole pregnancy about being able to fit through doors! Just barely, thank goodness I don't walk sideways! :)
