The boys!!!

Today we offered to take in a set of twins so their parents could have a day out with some friends before they leave the island. We had Wyatt & Riley who are 10 months old and super cute! Riley is VERY mobile so he gave us a taste of what it will be like soon when we are having to run 3 different directions to get sticky hands out of trouble! They came over around 8:45am and left around 3, all 5 babies took a nap at the same time! Here are some pictures of all the fun!!

Baby Proofing time.....

Daddy hard at work!
This is the paly yard, we will be getting one extension to make it alittle bigger!

Today all 5 of us went to the Nex and Target to buy some baby proofing items. We bought a play-yard to keep the kiddos contained and safe for when they start moving about, since all 3 of them are starting to scoot! =) We also bought 3 baby gates with doors, 1 for the bottom of the stairs, 1 for the top of the stairs and 1 for the doorway that leads into the den. Daddy worked very hard tonight getting them set up! We know we wont need them for a little while but we are thinking ahead, which is a great thing!

6 Months old! Where does the time go???
















































































What a whirl wind these past 6 months have been......... We have brought all 3 babies home from the NICU, struggled with maintaining a schedule which by the way we have kinda mastered! =) We have watched our babies grow from teeny tiny fragile babies to moving, babbling, demanding & playful individuals! Each of our beautiful children are completely different......
Benjamin is very much a momma's boy! He is very sensitive around bigger crowds of people and if he cannot see me or I am too far away he gets a sad little pouty lip that quivers and lets out a heartbreaking cry. It truly is a sight to see! He is our big boy weighing in at 15lbs 14oz and 26.5 inches long, he is in the 50-75% for his age. He now is trying to sit up on his own, grabbing and playing with toys, rolls over and over and over, giggles & he loves sweet potatoes and pears but really dislikes rice cereal! He still wakes 2-3 times in the middle of the night out of habit we are trying to break this since Brooke and Blake both sleep thru the night. He is our flirty, sensitive mommy's boy!
Blake is a MOVER!!!! Our baby boy never stops moving even in his sleep, he tosses and turns and rolls all over his crib. He loves attention and pretty much anyone who gives it to him. He is catching up to Ben weighing 14lbs 8oz and 24.75 inches long and is around the 35-40% for his age. He can sit up on his own for a little while, rolls over, laughs and has the biggest smile! He loves to eat food really any kind but he also dislikes rice cereal. He sleeps thru the night most nights but still wakes sometimes. He is our smiley, funny, class clown kinda guy!
Brooklynn is our princess!!! She loves attention and will smile at everything and anything you do! She is our teeny tiny little girl weighing 12lbs 14oz and is 24.5 inches long she is in the -39% for her age but is growing well just very petite. She loves having tummy time, giggles and smiles a bunch, rolls over can sit up in her Bumbo seat and she dislikes rice cereal just like her brothers but LOVES bananas! She sleeps thru the night everynight, maybe waking in the middle of the night once a month or so. She is our giggly, sweet, funny tiny princess!
We have overcome many obstacles as a multiples family but it has only made us stronger. Our life is busy with loads and loads of laundry, lots of bottles to wash, lots of diapers to wash & constant picking up due to so much stuff being around. We would not have our life any other way, we were meant to be triplet parents and we are enjoying every minute of it! Life could not be better!

Our first trip to the Honolulu Zoo!























This was our first trip to the Honolulu Zoo! We had such a blast! It started off really interesting because there was a Parade which caused parking and streets to be closed. We drove around for about 45 mins or so looking for parking when we finally found one about 3/4 mile away. We got the kiddos out of the car and into our HUGE triplet side by side stroller, people's heads were turning! As we are walking to the Zoo people are rolling down their windows in their cars and commenting on how cute the babies were, we finally make it to the Zoo and bought a family year package so we get into the Zoo for a year for free! We had to struggle with our stroller to get thru the gate because it was way to wide, so we had to turn it sideways and shimmy it thru! Hahaha! We were stopped multiple times walking around, which happens all the time we are used to it by now. We spent a good 2-3 hours there, saw some cool animals and were able to get some great pictures. Can't wait to go again!





Daddy's Birthday

















This was Carl's 29th birthday! We just enjoyed a nice quiet night at home as a family of 6, we had fun wearing our hats!!! the babies and Delilah wanted the yummy cake that I made but they were too young and no sweets for puppies!! The babies bought daddy some hotwheel cars, some yummy cinnamon almonds and a few Blu-Ray movies, I bought Carl a HD Zune. All in all it was a great day spent together as a family!
