3rd birthday!!! Lets party!

 

 

 

The morning of the triplet's birthday I had tons to do. All the cleaning, setting up, decorating, cooking, did I say cleaning, but for the triplets  morning started out the same way it always does-cereal in Mommy's bed!

 

 

Outside we posted our home-made sign.

 

 

 Back yard also sported a home-made sign.

 

 

My mom and i made bunting. Should be charging more than 5 cents for photos though. These babies are expensive.

 

 

Best group shot i could get.

Addy and Momma

 

We set up tables outside for the guests.

 

The kids played on the bounce house, swing set, play house, and all the multitude of other toys available to them.

 

The awesome cake my friend Amy made. We just did a bright neon color theme this year since it is hard to find one thing that they are all into. But candy is definitely something they can all agree on.

 

My best friends Amy and Amber.

 

Well my poor Marek didn't make it far into the party before he crashed. No nap today did him in. But my other two are good supporters and decided to nap with Marek at dinner time. So glad they have his back. haha!

This was the best party yet for the babies. They all had so much fun, and received some wonderful gifts. Thanks to everyone who came, and i am really glad we had an evening party this year instead of a day party. The past birthdays have been super hot and miserable, but this year was considerably nicer. Plus i know the kids really enjoyed the lights strung up in the backyard.

To the courthouse...

Apparently I am now the queen of procrastination. The babies turn three tomorrow and Marek is able to go to preschool because of it. But he has to have his birth certificate which I sent for in the mail last week, but because I waited so long it's not gonna get here in time. Today I made a last-minute trip to the courthouse to pick it up in person so I Will have a next a copy of his birth certificate. I can't believe my sweet little baby gets to start preschool tomorrow. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to prepare him. He has a backpack and a lunch box but I'm not sure what else I need to do for him. It's kind of overwhelming but in a good way. 

Marek MRI

Marek had an MRI today of his brain and brainstem since his head measured at the 1% on our last visit to the developmental Pediatrition. Due to his autism the doctor felt like it was worth a look to see if there are any abnormalities. I honestly think his head is fine; just a little flat in the back from when he was a preemie. Of course he had to be under sedation because of his age, but he was a total champ. Naturally, he won't up groggy, but quickly drank his juice and was ready to play his favorite game on the iPhone. Love this sweet cutie so much. 

Mothers Day 2013

Best Mother's Day yet after the absolute horrible previous day. I slept in first off, and i rolled over to find Starbucks, donuts, and a new Brighton charm waiting for me. My favorite people were in my living room-my babies eating breakfast, my husband, and my parents all enjoying a beautiful sunny morning. Shortly after my parents set up the kids early third birthday present; a awesome bounce house.

 

It is perfect for them, and they sincerely love it. The slide is so fun, and it turns into a water slide as well.

 Ready..set..GO! Landon!

 

 You couldn't get Landon off that slide. He probably went down it fifty times.

 

Once Adalynn figured out the ladder, she was hooked too.

Ladies man Landon

 

Silly Marek

 

Aaron grilled out chicken fajitas that i didnt even have to lift a finger to help. Which i think made them taste even better. After lunch i stole my mother away for a secret adventure of painting and cocktails. I also believe a bottle of champagne was consumed, but who's keeping track. We painted irises and had a blast.  

Worst moments of my life

On Saturday after their evening bath, I set the triplets on the couch watching cartoons while i put laundry away in my bedroom. About every five minutes or so I would peep my head out and check on them since Landon has a tendency to make messes and get into things when I am not looking. When I looked out and noticed Landon no longer sitting on the couch, I called out his name and looked in the main rooms he was most likely to be. When i didn't find him, i checked outside, then in the garage. At this point i stated to worry since he always comes when i call. After rechecking more thoroughly, i realized the only other option was out the front door. I have never seen Landon open the front door, but i now know he apparently has the skill as well as the thoughtfulness to shut the door behind himself causing a longer delay in discovering he was missing. I ran outside and shouted his name over and over. He was nowhere around. I cannot begin to describe the depth of the horrible feeling i felt. Landon is so cute and sweet and doesn't know a stranger. He would walk up to anyone and hug them. It would only take five seconds for him to get inside a strangers car. I knew he was gone. I ran back into the house shouting again asking Addy if she had seen Landon. I immediately called Aaron screaming, and he had me recheck Landon's favorite hideouts knowing he was not there. I called 911. I called my best friend who immediately sped this way looking through the neighborhood. I called my parents. I called Landon's name until i had no more spit in my mouth and could barely swallow. The police asked for a description. He's two, brown hair, blue eyes, and all he is wearing is a pair of blue underwear. He just took a bath. (He's beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and i will be lost forever if we don't find him.) I am barely holding it together. I can't leave the house to search for him because i can't leave the other two. I see Aaron drive by but not stop. He later said he was heading towards the pond that he always walks to with them. The police are searching throughout the neighborhood, and i am standing in my front yard absolutely helpless. It seems like forever but it may have only been 20-30 minutes since Landon walked out the front door, but a police officer approached me saying they had found him. "That little shit!" was my first thought. I was more scared then i have ever been in my entire life, and Landon was just having an adventure. A women two blocks over found him running down the sidewalk. His nakedness stood out to her, and her husband knew if you find the police cars that you will find the family. She says he ran right up to her and gave her a hug. She was holding him in her lap in the front seat of the police cruiser when they rounded the corner. Landon immediately shouted, "Mommy, Mommy!" and i burst into tears. I couldn't hold it in any longer. All the pent up emotion, anxiety, frustration, fear, relief, and thankfulness poured out. I was a slobbering mess. And i will be forever grateful of this neighbor of mine for returning my precious son home safely to me. We now have child proof and some adult proof front door measures in place. Mother's Day the next day was extra special to say the least.
