Happy Birthday Babies!

Today my trio turns 1! Wow how fast the time has gone! This afternoon is their party. I will try to get pictures and such on here either tonight or tomorrow. Until then I have their 12 month pictures!

12 month portraits

We had their 12 month portraits and their Christmas portraits done the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We decided to go to Portrait Innovations again. They did an alright job for their 4 month pictures and you get a lot more pictures for your money. Plus I got the a cd with every single picture they took on it. Score! Enjoy! :)

My new ride

That's ride folks. We finally got a vehicle that is ours that we can fit our whole family in! We are very excited to announce that we are proud new owners of a 2004 Toyoda Sienna! And it's Green! Love it. It has all the nice stuff like I can push a button and the sliding doors open or the rear hatch opens. It is so purdy. Did I mention I love our new car!?! :) We are still trying to figure out the best way to have the car seats in there. Currently Levi and Paige are in the back and Nathan is in the middle. To get Levi and Paige into and out of their seats we load and unload them from the rear hatch. Kinda funny but it works. I took some photos tonight of it. I have been meaning to do it during the day but I haven't had time. So night photos it is!

Busy busy busy

Wow time flies! I have been very busy trying to get ready for the trio's first birthday. I can't believe they will be 1 in 4 days! Yikes! Where has the time gone? Last year this time I was huge and miserable. We will have to get into that later. I have many posts to do cause a few bigish things have happened. And away we go! :)
Here is Aunt Stephanie with my crazy bunch :P

Our last "first" holiday

Yesterday was the trio's last "first" holiday. We had a great Thanksgiving. Aside from the snow (I was told rain I do NOT like being lied to!) the day went great. We hung out at home until after their first nap. After that we packed up and went over to Grammy and Pop-pop's house. They took an awesome afternoon nap at their house. I was very happy about that. We did lots of playing and then we had our feast! Gobble gobble! Levi and Paige loved it. They just went to town. Nathan didn't really eat much. Not sure what was up with that. All in all we had an awesome Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for in the last year. Mostly for my absolutely beautiful and wild babies. For my loving husband for which without him I would not have such wonderful babies. For my parents. Because without them I don't know where we would be. They have been our rock this past year as well as our saving grace. They have done so much for us and the babies I could never ever begin to explain the love I have for them. I just hope that some day I will be able to show them how much I appreciate what they have done for us. We love you Grammy and Pop-pop!!!

On to the pictures, because there are a lot! They have their cute Thanksgiving inspired shirts on and turkey bibs which I received as a baby shower gift. I also did before and after eating pics. Also there is a pic of them playing in Grammy and Pop-pop's play kitchen helping Grammy cook! Enjoy! :)

Levi stood!

Levi up and decided he was going to stand all by himself! Alan and Levi were playing on the floor and Levi pulled up using Alan and then just let go! He was so proud of himself. I love watching them discover things that they can do. They get so excited when the accomplish something it is too cute. He hasn't done it too often but he is getting braver. He has even started transferring himself from different pieces of furniture as long as they are close enough. We may have a walker in another month is not sooner!

1st birthday invites

Now that the invites have been mailed I can show our photo shoot for their 1st birthday invites. I loved how our DAD photo turned out for father's day so I decided to do something similar for their invites. It is very convenient that they are turning one...3 letters 3 babies. :) Enjoy our photos!
