My babies are 2!! I can't even believe we've made it through two years of having triplets. What an amazing experience! And what amazing little boys these guys have turned in to! They are just all so sweet and perfect in their own way. We had two birthday parties planned for the boys. First with my family, and then with Evan's family at Thanksgiving (Their birthday was Nov. 26...two days before Thanksgiving). Two of them were sick (we honestly can't remember at this point who it was! I think it was Derek and Micah, but like other things in life, it's all a bit of a blur). Then, we thought everyone was healthy (ish), so we went to Thanksgiving at Evan's parents, and just before this amazing meal that Evan's mom made, Andrew threw up all over Evan and the wall. So there we were...an hour and a half from home, and we exposed the whole rest of the family to the flu....kind of a mess! But the party went on anyway...we quick ate, gave the boys some cake (not Andrew), and loaded everyone up for home. It's always something!
Here's the one pic we got of them with their adorable cake that my sister in law Tosha made for them. A 3 tiered Elmo cake!! Andrew, Micah, Derek
This is one of my favorite pictures of them. Best buddies....Derek, Andrew, Micah
This is just not going according to Micah's plans.
We did a little Christmas card photo shoot outside one day....These little boys are just my whole world. How sweet are they?!
D, M, A, T
Also, this past month, our dishwasher and microwave died, and our sink needed to be replaced, so we did a small kitchen remodel (new countertop and replaced some of the appliances). We love it!

Andrew...helping to decorate the Christmas tree. The boys loved the Christmas tree SO much that within the first hour it was up, they took all the ornaments off that they could reach, and Andrew got a string of lights wrapped around his neck. Evan said he'd give it a week before the whole tree was tipped over. It was less than 24 hours. So we moved all of our ornaments to the top half of the tree and took everything off that they could destroy. Our tree was not pretty. Since the first tree tipping incident, it's happened about 6 times. We took our tree down this week.
I got these really cute little gel snowflake things that stick to the window thinking the boys would have fun putting them on there. I opened the package, and gave them each a couple snowflakes and showed them what to do. Then I ran to the bathroom (silly me....thinking I could leave them alone for 1 minute!). When I came back, each of the little points on the gel snowflakes were ripped off and thrown on the floor and these big blue blob gel things were rolled up and stuck on our window. Derek had a handful of the gel things all smooshed together in his hand that he showed me. They are SUCH little boys! Every day I am surprised at how much damage they can do in such a little time!
And we still love fixing the chair with our power tools. It just doesn't get better than this, people.
We made Christmas cookies! It was such a mess, but so much fun (like most of our life!).
Micah man...
Daddy and Tyler....Evan got tickets to a SkyForce game through his work, and Tyler was SO excited to get to go. Such a fun night for them...Tyler even got to give a high five the mascot!
Every night the boys run up to us and say, "naked baby, naked baby!!", which means they want to run around with no clothes on, which has become part of the nightly routine (just for the boys. Seriously, people!). This time they wanted to run around with their new super cute bath towels they got for their birthday. Ahh! They are just too cute! The other day I told Tyler to stop getting so big and to stop getting cuter all the time. He said very seriously to me, "Mom! I'm not doing anything to make myself bigger or cuter!" I asked him how it was happening, and he told me "God just made me like that!" My life is so full.
