Where Do I Begin?

I know...I know. Sadly, I've become one of "those people" I said I would never become. A flakey blogger. What happened to my priorities right? Ha.Well here I am again, after many "requests" to give my blog some TLC. It's not that I haven't wanted to...in fact it's been weighing on me like a ton of bricks. I've truly missed it. But life has been so busy.

Mainly because I've made some goals to be more "present" and to cut out as much screen time as possible. I look back at all the hours I spent sitting on my computer blogging away while the kids played next to me and I can't even imagine trying to attempt that now. Not just because I'm missing out on precious time with them, but also because they would be into EVERYTHING. They truly take a LOT of work. With 3 two year olds in our home it's honestly like running a full time daycare. Anyway, I'll do my best to play catch up!

Here's March

 

Our family is so blessed that Erik has a flexible schedule and is able to spend a lot of days with us making memories. Here's a trip to play at the mall & grub some Chick Fil A!

 Had to snag an incognito shot of me and my honey. He's making sure no one is looking haha! He loves my Instagram addiction.

 The triplets got pretty sick one week...borderline RSV. But we've had RSV before and felt pretty confident we knew what to do to keep it away. We used the NoseFrida all day (amazing for wet suctioning like they do at the RSV clinic!) and I used my Essential Oils ALL day. We kicked it...but I caught Payten using the NoseFrida on her baby one day...takin care of business.

 Just another trip to Costco. Yes, we turn heads. Yes, by the time we hit the cashier the girls are whining and we are shoving fruit snacks in their mouth as fast as we can but hey, that's our life and we love it. I thought this shot of Daddy and his girls was precious.

I just turned around to look at them with their tiny legs pitter pattering along and my heart melted. These are the moments that lift me up.

 I took these chicas on the track near our home and Hallie & Saydee just giggled the whole time. I could barely concentrate on jogging! Have I mentioned how much I love the sunshine!!  If I have to be cooped in one more winter I'm moving south!

 A fun girls night with my sisters! Love these two ladies.

 I love how dorky we can be together. Sisters are good for that. Zero shame. Zero judgement.

 Ok this next part was a HIGHLIGHT! My triplet mom group planned a...wait for it...

 Triplet Mom's Retreat!!

One of the moms was thoughtful enough to host it at her house. We had facials, manicures, pedicures, massages, waxing, FOOD...an Essential Oils class and PRIZES! I won some great loot including a book I am LOVING...The Child Whisperer. Definitely a must read.

It was such a fun night with these ladies. I drove about 6 of us down to SLC and we get pretty goofy. I don't know what I would do without these ladies and the crazy stories we share!

St Patricks Day was a little low key in our house this year. Just some green milk, green cinnamon rolls and a gift left by the Leprechan. I guess that Leprechan got tired of leaving footprints all over the house. Maybe next year...

 

 

On to bittersweet moments. The bad news is that my darling friend, Joni packed her family off to Alabama (my home state!) for 6 months. The good news is that we had a few opportunities to rush in some quality time together.

I wanted to celebrate her birthday so we went out to eat, enjoyed a manicure and then went make up shopping (thumbs up for guilty pleasures). It was so much fun. I can't wait for her to come back so that we can get our little girls back together! Thank goodness for modern technology to keep us close!

A family night at Chuck-a-Rama. All you can eat choices. All you can eat food. Pretty self explanatory about why it's a favorite with triplets. It's the only place we will take the gang at this age!

Daddy was building our outdoor sectional and we decided to keep him company. This was before we had our picnic table but the girls LOVE to be outside. They cry when they have to come in. This was just the beginning!

We've had some visits with our sweet cousin "baby Sewer". Sawyer is crazy adorable and they just love him! We hope to get him up to our house a lot this summer. The girls are so cute with him!

Don't you just melt over that face!!??? I could eat him. It's scary.

These next 2 pics are a daily thing in our home. The girls love to watch for Kayson to come home, daddy to come home...and watch them playing and working out there. I can't tell you how many times I've snapped shots of this. Payten will even take her snacks and line them up on the window sill.

 

 

Bad parenting moment? Perhaps. But I found these girls with their chairs as close to the tv as they could possibly get. Adoring Cinderella in all her beauty. Little naughty pants.
