Kevin & Kelsey's Wedding

One of Curtis' best friends from high school got married last weekend and we couldn't miss it.  Kevin was one of Curtis' groomsmen in our wedding - so we had to be there for his.  San Diego is 6 hours away from Clovis.  SIX HOURS.  That doesn't sound very long, but when you have three babies who don't really love their carseats - six hours is an eternity.  We broke the drive up and stopped in Palmdale.  Traveling with triplets is a lot of work, but the worst part by far is the drive.  On the way home from the wedding they slept the first hour and then were crying for the next two hours to Lancaster.  It was heart breaking.  You are stuck in the car listening to your babies cry and you're helpless.  You can't take them out and hold them.  Ugh.  By the time we got to my brothers house I was almost in tears (and I am not a crier).  It was horrible.  The only saving grace was when I got them out of the car they were all smiling and happy.  They just hate the car.  But other than that they did really good.
 Took the babies to their first high school football game.  Paraclete dominated.  
Uncle Kenny came to town to see the babies.  We sure love him! 
Julie looks like the marshmallow man here haha...


 We got to our hotel in San Diego and were starving...so we ordered take out from Chili's. 
 First hotel stay wasn't too bad.  Babies were exhausted from the drive so they ended up sleeping well. 


 Changing my assembly line of diapers.  :)  
 Kelsey & Kevin.  Such a gorgeous wedding.
 Baby girl knocked out.

SO glad we could be there on their special day.  It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.

Halloween and the Three Little Bears

We went to a church activity the day before Halloween and had to dress these babies up (of course).  They were the cutest three little bears around. 
 Julie, Kash & Cruz

 Julie - She always has to have a blanket (or Kash's carseat cover) and her thumb. 
 Kash
 Amanda can't get enough of our babies (and we love her).  She always awaits us at church with open arms.  She is a lifesaver when we are outnumbered.  :)
 On Halloween we went to our friends Halloween party.  Everyone brings their favorite soups, salads, and breads for dinner (YUM!) and then we all take the kids trick-or-treating afterwards.  The Parkers always have such fun parties with the best people :)

 Julie and her mouth full of spit-up. (I thought the whole spit-up thing was supposed to be resolved by 6 months??)

 Janessa and Tyson were representing Russia with their Matryoshka doll (Penelope).  Cutest costumes ever.  We love them!

My Little Pumpkins

I've never really been big on Halloween, except for maybe when I was 10 and still going trick-or-treating.  This month has been SO fun with these sweet babies.  Whenever I see a cool idea, I try and recreate it with my babies.  Maybe I'm overdoing it, but I don't want to regret anything.  These may be my only babies, so I'm just living it all up.  And let's be honest...these pictures will definitely make it in their wedding videos someday.  Or maybe just their baby books.  
My 3 little pumpkins. 
Cutest skeleton jammies from Baby Gap.
Pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen. 


Total FAIL.  
Let me tell you... It took SO long for my friend Jordan and me to pick out these stupid pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, carve them, gut them out, re-carve the leg holes over and over until they were big enough to fit, walk down to the park with the pumpkins in my stroller and the babies in our arms, etc.  And it ended up being a total FAIL.  But totally worth this picture.  
I had to carry Kash home like this because he had poop oozing out of his diaper and I didn't want to get it on my clothes.  
 Batman
 Superman
Snow White
My nephew Steven was calling Julie "Snow Brown".  I said, "Oh...you're calling her Snow Brown because her last name is Brown?"  He explained..."No, because her skin is brown."  hahaha  :)  He cracks me up.

Fall Break

My sister decided to drive from Utah to California with 6 kids - BY HERSELF!  She's a rockstar.  We were SO excited to see them!  
Waiting to see their cousins...
 The first thing Steven did when he got to my house was jump in the babies exersaucer hahaha.  He's 8.    And huge.  It was hilarious!  
Kyle & Jack wanted a turn. 
Kyle & Kash
Baby A's and Baby B's
 Raosting marshmallows in my backyard.  So yummy. 
 My favorite smile.  :) 
 My bestie and my 2 hams.  Such happy little stinkers. 
 My sister threw a skirt party at my house and then at my mom's house.  Honey & Lace has the cutest maxi skirts, pencil skirts, and leggings!  
We brought the babies down to Tip-n-Toe and all the girls got pedicures!  :)  

 Cheeser.
 Cruz fell asleep during the chair massage.  I treasured every second.  The babies love their cribs and put themselves to sleep - which is awesome - but I still LOVE these moments.  

 Lia loved dipping her feet in the warm water. 


They just wanted to hold babies all day  :) 

 Luke making Julie laugh.  Sweetest thing ever. 



The second Lia sees a baby she asks, "Where's Julie baby?"  I think she may have a favorite.  :)  
Look at that bum!!  It doesn't get cuter than that! 
On Saturday night Tyson was moaning in pain.  It was so sad!  I didn't know what was wrong.  His tail was curled between his legs, he couldn't sit down, and took forever to lay down.  He couldn't get comfortable and would just yelp in pain.  A trip to the ER at 1:00am and $200 bucks later we found out he has limber tail syndrome or swimmer's tail.  The base of his tail was injured from wagging his tail too much.  Are you kidding me??  He sprained his tail from playing with the kids in the backyard too much.  He loves to play fetch - all day everyday.  When the kids were on the trampoline he would jump up and put a ball on the tramp, then the kids would throw it off for him to fetch and bring back - over and over and over and over again.   After 3 days of nonstop play - he sprained his tail.  Poor thing!  
He got a shot of painkillers that night that knocked him out.  He was a lot better the next day, but still hurting.  They say it can take 7-10 days to heal.  

Miss Snow White.

My little thumb sucker.

We miss them sooooo much already!  It was the perfect weekend.
