Random Pictures & Random Thoughts

I'm pretty sure that the apple cinnamon puffs do NOT belong in the wipes container.

We've been having a lot of fun playing outside.

& with the bubble machine.



Visiting the Farmer's Market is always a great way to spend a Saturday morning.
mmmmmmm.....pluots!



We've been up to Driggs a few times for some mini vacations.


The kids seem to like the merry-go-round.


& kicking back.

Brian thought it would be a good idea to teach them to climb the fireplace. Mama doesn't approve.



We've discovered that Ginger LOVES fresh salsa. They all do really, but I think its Ginger's favorite food in the whole world. That or blueberries- it might be a tie.

Edison loves pesto & Daisy loves blue cheese crumbled. We don't think there is any question that they belong to us.

& just because they are so damn cute!!!!

Our Mr Man- update

Edison has had to have 2 neurosurgeries this past month. His first was on May 27th for an obstructed catheter in his shunt. The second was on June 27th for an obstructed valve in his shunt. We were trying to vacation in Yellowstone so he had a very expensive life flight to SLC. Needless to say, we've been a little preoccupied, so please forgive us for being MIA lately. He is doing very well & hopefully his new set up will last him a long time. He is one tough little guy!

The girls started walking while we were gone for his first surgery. They had been taking steps for a long time but decided to start walking full time. They like to follow each other around giggling- its very cute!

Projects!!!

Brian had a couple of weeks off so instead of going on vacation (which is incredibly complicated with 3 babies) we decided to do some home improvement projects.

We painted our living room & dining room. I really needed a change since I spent approximately 12 hours a day in this room.

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Wood for watching the babies while we worked!!

Brian & his dad, also, baby proofed the deck so we can live outside this summer (if it ever shows up for good). We got them a slide, a bubble panel, a tic tac toe panel, and lots of other stuff for them to play with. Some neighborhood teenagers walked by & proclaimed our deck to be "sweet" so I think we did a good job!

Edison was chillin while Daddy & Grandpa worked.

We got the babies a water table & they love it!

They like the teeter totter, but sometimes try to jump off with no warning.

We got them a little slide but they aren't completely sure about it yet.

Here are some cute pics of bedtime routine.

Edison is snuggling with mama.

Ginger & Daddy snuggling.

Daisy couldn't sit still long enough to snuggle anyone.

Edison learned a new skill & has started stacking everything. He, also, likes to match like colors together & will go around the room collecting red, or blue, or yellow cups to put them together. We were told that 40% of children with bleeds have long term disabilities, so we are very proud that he is doing so well!

These girls are such a team. They love each other so much & we love them!

13 Months Old!!

We can't believe its been almost a year since our sweet babies came home from the NICU. The fact that we have 3 beautiful healthy babies is TRUELY amazing! Its a lot of work but we wouldn't trade it for anything.

Its always so cute to see 3 babies lined up in a row. We never get tired of it!

Edison the moose wrangler!

Daisy & Ginger getting into trouble.

Our Daisy baby.

Our Mr Man.

Our little Ginger love got herself stuck.

We gave the kids chocolate pudding with real whip cream for the first time. Edison doesn't seem to like getting dirty & wasn't so into it, but the girls were in heaven.

Daisy made the biggest mess.

Ginger got the most in her mouth.

Edison just wanted out.

They seem to have a little cabin fever after a long winter. Me too!
