Arrived at our destination....

We have officially arrived at the cabins for our vacation. They are called "Cozy Cabins". For the 7 of us, we will defiantely be "COZY".
It is going to be so much fun with the kids. We plan on Canoeing, Kayaking, Fishing, Hiking, Swimming, and cooking out every day.
The babies were wonderful on the ride here. We had to drive both the truck and van. Chastin and Jayden rode with Brandon in the truck and I drove with the 3 babies in the van. I laid the back seat of my van down and we had it loaded. Between 3 pnp, 3 bouncys, triple stroller, and everyday luggage. The back row of Brandon's truck was full of pillows, blankets, etc. The back of his truck had our camping chairs, 4-24pks bottled water, cooler, etc.
Well we are getting ready to head out to the park here. I will get some pictures and try to post them every night after all the kids are in bed. We will be here till Sunday.
Forgot to mention, Brandon is such a big kid. He is so so excited that we have a hot tub on the back of our deck. He is so ready for that. HA!

The kids are enjoying the summer weather.

Not only were the kids enjoying the summer weather, so was I! UNTIL, I decided it was time to come in the house. Once I was in the house, man I could feel the heat. I am SEVERLY BURNED. I have an allergy to Aloe, so does anyone else have ideas on what I could use in this sun burn. Sad thing is I used just as much if not more sun block than the kids did and they all look GREAT! I'm glad they look great but can't believe I got burnt so bad. It hurts just to move my shoulders. I was deep down in the pool the most. It needed to be vacuumed out good.

Here are a few pictures of our day yesterday!

5 month check ups

My camera isn't working the best ever. So I wanted to post the babies 5 month check up info.
I notice a pattern here, do you?

Hallie: 11 pounds 14 ounces / 24 1/2 inches
Peyton: 13 pounds 14 1/2 ounces / 25 1/2 inches
Brandon (the brut): 14 pounds pounds 14 ounces / 27 inches

They believe that Brandon is going to be a tall tall boy!

She said Peyton is defiantely teething. Hallie and Brandon just have one little spot.

Oh yeah, my pattern question is I couldn't believe they all were 14 ounces. Odd!

Mother's Day 2009

This Mother's Day was awesome and bad at the same time.

It was awesome in so many ways. I got to celebrate with all of my kids. They all show that they love their mommy in different ways. To each and every one of you, I LOVE YOU!

Brandon and the 5 kids suprised me with a Mother's Ring. Brandon had it all planned out and did awesome. He had to order it because he wanted a ring that he could put the triplets side by side. It was perfect and I love it. I don't have a picture of it, but will work on that to share with you all.

It was not a good day as well. It is the first Mother's Day that I haven't been to church. We didnt get to go because the babies had little colds. When they are sick, we keep everyone in. I do not want them to get any sicker.

They are all fine now. Although I do believe that Peyton shows signs of asthma.


We were asked by our local newspaper if I would be interested in a "Mother's Day Tribute". So here is the link to the story: http://www.thetimestribune.com/archivesearch/local_story_131090651.html
