Happy 30th Birthday Daddy!

Happy 30th Birthday Brandon, you are a great husband, fabulous father, and the best friend I could ask for. Our not so little babies have something they want to say so they are taking over. The first birthday post plus the one year updates are coming soon.

Daddy,

We love you sooo big or as Mommy says "around and around and around we goooo"! We have fun with you every time we get to play and you make us very happy when you take care of us at night. Thank you for helping Mommy out so much since we came home, she really needed it :). If we could talk we would be telling you all day long that you are the BEST Daddy in the whole wide world. We all love the triple tickle and how you are always dancing for us! Thank you for being our mountain to climb on and for letting us hit you with all of our toys. Da da da da we LOVE you!

Love - Logan, Elizabeth, Madison and Mommy, oh and The Blue

Trial run...

We did a small celebration with mini cupcakes on the kiddos actual birthday. Here are a few photos of the experience.

I still cannot believe we used candles, but we had to. My Mom and I were guarding the flames. Elizabeth was testing us on our reaction time.

Lizy wanted to eat the cupcake so bad she stuck her thumb in and shoved it in her face!

Madi Belle was not the happiest but she had fun eating.

Logan was not sure on the frosting, we are still working on it.

Okay Grammie, I will try one more time...maybe for the party.

I ended up feeding the girls, after getting messy the first time they were not so sure.

Hope to have more of their party up this weekend. I am still in shock that they are ONE!

Love to all!!!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

What a year it has been at 1:38pm and 1:39pm a year ago today February 18, 2009, our sweet, precious, beautiful, adorable MIRACLES were born. Our world has changed so much for the better because of you sweet babies. Our love for you is something your Daddy and I never thought possible and it still grows every second of every day. You all make us extremely happy and if we could we would hold you in our arms all day long.

It is hard to believe our little 3lb, 3.1lb, and 3.3lb babies are ONE year old today...where does the time go, honestly? I have put some of their first photos below and then some recent photos. Just when I was going through the pictures I was getting teary eyed and wanted to go squeeze the love out of them, as I type they are all asleep so that will not happen just yet...LOVE THEM so much!


***WARNING*** The first picture is a little scary and I cannot believe I am posting it, but hey it was the last photo of me pregnant standing up...let's just say Mama was ready and not in the mood :-).

I had not slept in over 24 hours and was not the happiest person, contractions and too many shots to count for over 2 months is not fun, however they are very worth it.

Getting ready to meet our babies...

They're here and Mommy does not remember this picture at all!

Mr Logan

Miss Elizabeth

Miss Madison

And now we have...

Mommy I did not do it...

Me tip over the toy...nope it was The Blue...hehehe

I just love this picture because it shows some of his curls in the back

Mommy stop, I know I'm cute but you already took 20 pictures

The girls LOVING the ball pit...thanks Grammie and Grandpa!!!!

Yes that is Logan in the corner laying down and yes Lizy Bear is about to "love" on him

Uh oh what is Daddy getting me into, these girls are crazy

Seriously it does not get sweeter than this, take the girls to the cribs and come back to Logans sweet face sound asleep, I know awwwwww.

All our love-Mommy and Daddy

Video's!!!

Ok so here are a few video's we finally had time to upload. I'll let the videos do the talking.
**In the second video Logan is happy and not screaming mad....Love that sweet boy!

One year photos, mean Mommy

Wow...just to say the "babies" will be one next week is so crazy to me. I cannot believe we are here! Last weekend we had an outdoor photo session with a fabulous photographer Betsy. Mean Mommy still had the kiddos outside in very cold temps and I am sure this did not help with them being afraid of "strangers". Madison did not want to be anywhere but my hip the entire time. I was so afraid all the pictures would have red faces with tears streaming down and snot dripping, low and behold Betsy is a miracle worker. She was able to get some great shots. Below is a preview, please visit her blog, http://www.betsymariephotography.com to see more pictures of our beautiful almost ONE year olds.

Love to all!!
