Beach time! As usual we had a lot of questions about the trips.

Mason loved the sand.

Here is our set up at the beach. Notice AR taking a picture of us taking a picture of them.

Audrey loved the water and wanted Danie to take her out farther and farther into the sea.

Brody - the old pro.

Katherine playing with the sea weed.

Brody, Dad, and Audrey taking a break from the water.

More California pics

Papa Don, Nanny Kaye, and the trips. I can't believe how good this picture turned out. Ever try and get 6 people to look at the camera at the same time and smile. Especially if three of them are 14 months old!

The zoo with all the kids and Uncle Dan + the "Zoo Keeper"

We gave the kids a bath in the swimming pool. Cousin Justin LOVED to help. I think he liked being the older kid for once. Plus he has a sweet personality!

Cousin Jim, DeAnn, Amy and Dave. DeAnn God bless you - you are such a trooper!

Houston - We have a toilet!!!

Brody the Graduate

California trip

Three of the cousins. Brody, Dylan, and Justin:

I will try and post more later.

One of my best friends when I was a kid came down and brought her twins, we had our triplets, then there was Brody and my brother's two kids. It was crazy but super fun.

Cake pictures - Backyard Pool

So I either have the pictures but no time or the time and no pictures. I just checked our camera and we have two pictures (not good ones either) of the cake eating from the triplet's b-day. Danie's friend Justin took some good ones with her camera but guess what - yes - I deleted them a few hours ago since my email kept giving me errors that it was full. Gah!

I promise to get them uploaded soon. Until them I will share pictures of our new pool in the backyard. It is so nice to be able to provide the nice things in life for our children.

The babies had a great 1 year checkup. I have confirmation from the pediatrician that Katherine is bowlegged. That is why she is walking already - she started two weeks ago. He said it was from how she was sitting in the womb. I can only imagine they were folded up like a pretzels in there. Good news is like her flat head she will outgrow it in a year or so.

Stats from appt:

Mason (aka the new peanut) 21.9 & 31 inches
Katherine (The Great) 22.14 & 31 inches
Audrey (our talker) 21.10 29 inches

Some of Audrey's words (since this is her baby book poor thing):
*Melmo = Elmo
*Duck
*Doggie
*Mama
*Dada
*Pops
*Mimi
*Auntie
*Baba = bottle or milk
*Hi
*Up
*Craker
*Thank you
*Uh oh

Katherine is our football player. You should see the (2nd!) goose egg she gave her sister yesterday right in the middle of her forehead. Thank goodness we don't take them to daycare or we'd be getting a visit from CPS. Oh boy! She is barely one and is already getting pack n play time outs.

Mason is still Mr. Mellow who grunts to get what he wants. He had a total conversation with another little boy at the doctor's office - it was all grunts.

Poppa Don had his knee replaced and is doing well and Uncle Ron had a good outcome on his whipple today. Please keep both of them in your prayers.

Peace and Love.

Oy vey!

For those of you that have multiples (twins, triplets, or more than one kid) you can appreciate the new picture on the blog. Ever try and get one kid to look at the camera and get a good picture - it is hard - then throw in 3 or 4 more kids and it could drive you insane!

Mason was grumpy which made the process harder. Katherine fell off the couch we were using as a prop and has a red mark on her forehead plus she ripped her headband off and broke it. Audrey was our good child that day.

With that said we were able to get some cute pictures of the kids. Jo at the Grimes Target was so patient - mommy not so much! :O)

Here is a sampling of what we got:
