Our Tutu

Tutu with Ben, Brooke & Blake

Tutu is Hawaiian for Grandma this is what we decided the babies will call my mom. The babies absolutely loved her, she was a huge help while she was here! It was amazing to be able to spend time with our babies and not have to worry about cooking, laundry amongst many other things. She loved being with the babies and they loved being with her, she is very animated which they love! Tutu we love you so much and truly appreciate all that you did and still do for for all of us! You know as my mother I thank you everyday for making me who I am today.

The babies truly enjoyed having Tutu around she makes everything so funny! We wish that we lived closer so that she could see them everyday and they could see her, hopefully it wont be too long before we are closer! Mom I know you too well and by now you are probably teary eyed so maybe you should grab a few more tissues......... I remember being a little girl and you were always there for me, I hope that I can be an amazing mother to my children and give them everything I possibly can. You are a wondeful mother and a great friend, I love you so much!

Who would have thought getting out of the house with 3 infants would be so much work!!?? LOL! Really it's not that bad we just need ALOT of stuff, usually 2 diaper bags full for an all day outing. The drive to the park was great, anyone who drives here in Hawaii knows how beautiful the scenery truly is. We arrived at the park and first thing was the huge fish tank filled with many, many different animals, the babies were in Awwwww. Next stop was the Sea Turtles which were making this weird sound and the babies could not look away! lol!.. We then saw a show with penguins and sea lions boy were they funny, we were high up so the babies could not really see but I am pretty sure they still enjoyed it. We needed a break so we stopped and sat on some benches and fed the babies lunch and we all ate also, alot of people were staring at us like usual since we have 3 babies but no one stopped and said anything which is VERY unusual! =) But I am not complaining!

Our last adventure was the Awesome dolphin show, the babies would not look away they loved it! Tutu was holding Brooklynn, Carl had Blake and I had Blake. I got very teary eyed watching the show with Blake, partly because I really don't like that they (dolphins) are not in the wild and also because they are a beautiful and amazing animal.

1st day with Tutu & Auntie!

Ben and tutu, he's loving her already

We waited a whopping 70 days for Tutu Patti and Auntie Abby to come for a visit, they are HERE!!!! The babies were asleep, well except for Ben who decided he needed to eat at about 9pm when they got here. I let mom & Abby sneak into their rooms while they were sleeping to take a peek at them, mom cried. The next evenign we all went outside and just enjoyed that they were here!

Best auntie in the world!!

Can you say talent? Holding all 3 babies at once! Ben on her back Blake on her front and Brooke and her hip! AMAZING AUNTIE!

I know that I have the greatest sister in the world but I had no idea how wonderful she would be with the babies! Not many 14 year olds are anywhere near as helpful as she was, she was ALWAYS there when anyone of us needed her. Her niece and nephews thought she was the greatest and always gave her the sweetest smile as she came into the room, she made their little faces light up. My sister is probably the best thing that happened to our family in addition to my dad Topper, she is and always will be my little sister and a HUGE part of my world. I wish that we lived closer so that we could see her everyday and she could watch our babies grow up.

Abby is really a one of a kind kinda girl. Yes she is a normal teenager and she is on the phone and texts alot, she loves being with her family/friends, she's got some attitude and sass but that's her and I LOVE who she is! Abigail I know you will probably read this so I will tell you that God blessed me with the best sister anyone could ever ask for, you are an amazing, smart & funny girl who deserves nothing but the best and you need to always remember that! You are amazing and our babies are so lucky to have you as their auntie Abby! I love you sissy!

4th of July

Our family!

Our first 4th of July as a family was great! We went up to Tripler Army Hospital which is pretty high up and we were able to see 3 different firework shows at different times! It was wonderful because it was not very loud so the babies were just able to enjoy the beautiful colors in the fireworks. They lasted till about 9pm wich was great we did not think they would make it that long! We were able to spend it with another great family as well, Kathy and her awesome family! They are our neighbors that we met while hanging outside with the babies, we now sit and chat every night they are outside.

The boys!

My family! I love them!!

Brooklynn was fast asleep! lol!

Blake and mommy are watching too!

Daddy and Ben watching the fireworks

Outside!

Our new nightly routine includes heading to the park from about 4:30 to 7:00 pm. We visit with some really great neighbors and the babies love it! There are kids of pretty much every age and the babies really enjoy watching them play around. Blake is very mobile now and crawls prety much everywhere, we can't take our eyes off him! =) We enjoy our nights outside and every night is different! Plus you cant beat the gorgeous Hawaii night time weather! (Well most of the time! lol!)

Benjamin just watching everything very intently...
