So I was going through some of Toby's clothes that he no longer fits in. I found some that he wore in Tennessee, some that he wore at his 1st birthday, things that he started walking in and clothes from our big move to Utah. I was so sad as i folded them all and put them into storage. My little bud is getting so big. I don't like that at all. I can't believe that he could come from my 9lb 6oz little baby, to a toddler that can't stop jumping and climbing on EVERYTHING. I don't know how I will handle it when I have to send him off to school, and a MISSION... MARRIAGE. No way!!! For now I will just have to cherish my small moment of time with him. I never knew that I could have so much love for a little baby.

i loVe BaTh tiMe!!

So These pictures were taken in AZ. Sadie kept asking if she could take a bath with Toby. So we threw Breydon in there with them. This picture totally describes how it went. Sadie started splashing, making Breydon upset and Toby just looked cute!! They are all so adorable. I can't belive that Breydon is nine months old. Sadie is about 2 1/2 and Toby is 17 months. I loved having them all together!!! xoxo

And I so love this picture of Toby and Sadie!!!!

E-mail from Dad about the triplets

Just got back from the hospital. We went there tonight so Zach and I could anoint and bless the triplets. All three are doing remarkably well, though that does not necessarily mean we are free from challenges ahead. The girls full names are as follows:
· Sophia Doris, the oldest and largest at 820 grams (1 lb. 13 oz.), now weighs 10 grams more than her birth weight, has very long arms like an ape, and very long feet like Ian Thorpe, the Australian swimmer. We think she will swim the butterfly.
· Jocelyn May, now 1 lb. 7 oz. the largest of the twins, does not like laying on her side, but does like sucking on a micro pacifier. The nurses cannot believe how loud she can cry. Jo is very comfortable on her tummy with her arms and hands tucked-in under her chin. We think she will swim the breaststroke.
· Isabella Maria (such a tiny little thing, weighing in this evening at one pound six ounces, up one ounce from yesterday and now taking-in one cc (cubic centimeter) of milk every three hours. Izzy spends all her time facing up and likes to kick her left leg. We think she will swim the backstroke.

Will do out best to get you some pictures soon. Go Cardinals!

With love,

James Edward

Finally an update

I have a ton of updates read them and enjoy them!!!!
So for Christmas we went to AZ and worked and hung out with family. It was so great to be there. I have missed everyone so much. We are back to our regular schedule now. Ethen is loving school and Toby is loving the Snow. His favorite words are snow, no, color, and OK. He has picked up so many words it is so crazy. So this picture is of my hunk after his first choir practice. As you can tell he didn't really want his picture taken.

All I can do is laugh when I see this picture... Poor kid!!

Yes another Hair Cut... Shave

I know I know.... Toby has beautiful hair.... blah blah blah. Well you try trimming it every week. He is 18 months, he wont even sit still for Elmo. Truthfully I was just going to cut his hair so that it would have little spikes. So I did and it was really cute. Then I wanted to blend it all to make it look good. SO being the professional hair clipper that I am I got the hair shaver clipper things and started.... WOW WAY TO SHORT... STOP!!! PLEASE SOME ONE REWIND THIS DAMN THING. Unfortunately you can't cut hair long and I was screwed. Thankfully he looks cute no matter what. I am sure that when you look at these pictures you will be shocked just like I was. But if you stare long enough it is way way cute!!!

So this is before....

And now after with marker on face and all.

Oh yes... the days when it was fun to color on our hands

cute little girlfriend!

Oh how we love the snow!

New Job

So a few months ago I got this yellow flier on my door... It was about a position that needed to be filled for this lady that runs a daycare. Anyway, she runs it out of here home in the basement. I checked it out a few months back and fell in love with her and the kids that she watches. Can you say HIRED!! I started last week. I decided to do it because I can take Toby and still be the wonderful mother that I am. I also get breakfast, snacks, lunch, and a diaper a day!!! Plus I bring in a little extra money each month. It is such a huge blessing to have this job!!! I have been so depressed being away from my family and friends and my sweet Candice. It is nice to be able to meet people and get out of the house!!!

BABIES

So update really fast on the babies... the girls are doing so great!!! It's a miracle. Val has improved 100% and I am STILL dying to see pictures!! It is so great to know that every one is well.

LOVE YOU ALL
