Growing so fast




So we made our first family trip this past weekend. I was so nervous about taking them to a strange place for the weekend, But everything went great. I threw a baby shower for my best friend in Grand Junction which is about a 4 hour drive. The babies were wonderful. They slept great at a strange house and even did well with all the people there on Saturday. My sister took Collin and Gracie over night on Saturday. It was so nice to have just one baby. Don't get me wrong I missed the other 2 like crazy. Aaron and I both went to bed with something tugging on our hearts. Needless to say we were so glad to go pick them back. All in all it was a great trip. We definitely will be making more trips this summer.

Gracie is Miss Independent she will be the first to do it all. The other day I found her on all fours and rocking back in forth. This means we will have a crawler soon. Although I can't wait for them to be mobile I am sure I will regret saying that some day. LOL She is cutting her bottom 2 teeth, they haven't made it through yet but there working on it. She figures she will out do the boys and get both at once. She finally is sleeping through the night now yayyyy me. Although we had to put her in a different room then the boys. We had to let her cry it out, she has learned to put her own binky back in so we leave 3 or 4 in her crib so she can find one easily.

Blaine is our eater. He loves his food and will eat anything. I think that he may pass up Collin here soon weight wise. He is taller then Collin now but not quit as chunky yet. He is our most active one when it comes to playing. He loves his walker and he takes it very serious. He chases anything that moves in the house and if he wants something he knows exactly how to get to it. He thinks everything is a Jumper when he is standing on you he will start bouncing like you are going to make him bounce. He has his first tooth and he wasn't grumpy when it came through so we will See how the next one goes.

Collin is my lazy little man. He will sit in his toys and look around but doesn't do much beyond that. Lately he has been running a fever hopefully do to teething. He also has one of his bottom teeth. I think he is getting the other one because he has been a grumpy boy lately which is so out of character for him. It so cute to see him smile with his little tooth showing. I am so in love with all of them.

I can't believe they are already 7 months old it felt like yesterday they were still in my tummy..

Jibber Jabber


Well I have to say that my house gets louder and louder everyday. As they get bigger more noise comes out of them. I can't say that I mind though it is rather cute.. Solid food is going well Blaine and Gracie will eat just about anything, Collin on the other hand is a little picky but if you encourage him, he does a lot better. They all got there first teething cookie the other day and absolutely loved it. Collin did not know what to think of it and gagged a little but the second time we tried it he was ok with it.


I cannot wait for summer to be here. We have a nice back yard and I can't wait to hang in it. I want the babies to be able to wear all there cute summer clothes and hang outside. I feel Like we have been cooped up in this house for ever. This summer we will have more visitors and be able to go do a lot more. In 2 weeks I am taking the babies to Grand Junction with me so I can throw my friend Jess a Baby shower. My husband keeps asking why I don't just leave them here, But I can't find the heart to do that. I can imagine myself getting separation anxiety and maybe a little sick to my stomach without them. So call me crazy but we are packing up and going. I am definitely nervous about it. They do not do well sleeping other places but I am going to do my best to bring what makes them feel comfortable. I am sure I will have lots of help there.


I am looking forward to meeting my best friend Kristin's Son for the first time, And seeing my sweet little Kylie. Kristin was there when I had my babies and I was there for her first. Nickolas is almost 5 months old now and I still have yet to meet him I can't wait. After all him and My little Gracie have an arranged marriage. LOL


Anyways I am loving being back in Colorado being near family is very important to me. I want my babies to grow up with a cousin near by and Grandma and Pa Pa a 10 min drive away. Although I do wish Aaron's parents were closer so they could get to know them as well. I am so blessed have such wonderful people in my life, and a husband that I love very much although he can be a pain in my ass at times. I feel like I have 4 kids instead of 3 but that's what makes my life so fun.


Well until the next time.......

6 Months







Its so amazing how far my little ones have come since they were born. I can't believe how big they are. I love watching every milestone. They had there first solid foods the other night and it was so funny. Gracie and Blaine Loved there Peaches and couldn't get enough of them. Collin on the other hand wasn't a fan. He was gagging and i have to admit it was funny. So the next night we let Collin have sweat potatoes and he loved them.






Collin has to go the the Cardiologist on the 19th just to do a check up on a slight Murmur they detected when he was born, But I am sure its nothing. And Blaine goes to get



fitted for his helmet on the 20th. Poor little guy. Aaron is excited to decorate it though. He wants to put race cars all over it lol. Imagine that! Gracie is just as healthy as a can be. I can't wait to see how much weight they have gained in 2 months. They go to the Doctor on the 13th. Hopefully the Doc tells me I can take the 2 off the expensive Formula.






Since moving back to Colorado I have joined a Group called S.T.O.R.M (Super Twins of The Rocky Mountains) So far I have met some amazing Women and can't wait to meet more. They do so many fun activities and Dinners. I look forward to doing so much more with this Group.
Anyways Life is wonderful as always. I have not wrote anything in a while i am going to try to do better.

Being negative takes more energy then it does to be positive.

I was just reading a fellow Triplet Moms blog and she had a very rude person who left a very mean comment. It made me so angry. How do people think they have the right to judge others.
This person stayed anonymous, which by the way is weak. If your going to speak up have the guts to say who you are. They proceeded to tell her that doing invitro was intervening with Gods path. Well anonymous put your self in all the women's shoes who have been told we cannot have children. It is the most heart breaking thing a women could ever hear. Unless you have been through that you will never understand. Let me tell you about my story. When I was told I could not conceive on my own, It felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest I wanted so bad to be a mommy and here those little words come out of a child's mouth. All I could think about for days was that I will never experience the joys of being pregnant, giving birth or holding such a beautiful little angel in my arms. My dreams of having a family were crushed. It took my husband and I a while to explore our options. The things that women have to go through, all the shots and hormones and Doctor appt. is not an easy thing.So I give major Kudos to any women who ever went through that. It is all worth it. Does any women go into it wanted Triplets? I sure didn't, to be honest with you the thought of it scared the Shit out of me. I am not a religious person but I do know that things happen for a reason. They would not of descovered the technologies for IVF if it wasn't meant to be. Do all the people in the world have the right to be parents absolutely not but there are so many great people in this world that do deserve to be BLESSED with such a wonderful experience. So I say thank you god for giving us the technologies to do such wonderful things for great people. So next time anyone has bad thought about getting help to conceive. Think before your speak! If your Jealous just admit it we understand.

Well my husband made it safely after a 21 hour trip with no sleep. We are so glad to have him here! We found a house to rent not to far from my moms house. I love being back here where all the pretty views are. The snow capped mountains take my breath away every time I look at them. I know that it will take a while for Aaron to ajust to it but I know he will learn to love it. We actually have a planned date just him and I. My parents are taking the little ones.. I cant wait. It doesn't happen that often.lol The babies had there first big Doctors Appt here in Colorado and they are all getting so big. Collin is 13lbs 8oz Blaine is 11lbs 12oz and my little peanut Gracie is 10lbs 9oz I can believe how far they have come in 4 months its so amazing to me. They got there shots and all have been running a fever so needless to say its been fun in our house the past couple nights. Well I will ramble more later...
