Random pictures

We have been enjoying the nice weather, taking the kids for lots of stroller rides. Several weeks ago, we went for stroll by the Missouri River. However, the kids preferred looking at the stroller's wheels than at the beautiful scenery, LOL. We are also enjoying life at the farm, watching the calves and baby kittens grow. Here is Alea looking at a baby kitten.

One calf staring at us:) Isn't she cute?

Enjoying the beautiful flowers while strolling with the babies.

At the end of the day, the kids are tired of hanging out with Mommy. When Daddy comes home, they are all over him. (Alea on the left and Arianna on the right).

The kids are now drinking out of a straw!!!! Can you believe it?! That's my accomplishment of the week:) Here is Alea drinking milk out of a straw. She definitely knows how to do it;)

Armando has also mastered the straw drinking skill. "See Momma, I can do it too."

Arianna also drinks out of a straw, but I don't have a picture of it. But I do have a picture of her giving us her best grin, LOL. "Can you see all my toofers Momma?"The kids love to eat pancakes. This is Armando enjoying his morning breakfast.

Arianna trying to pick up her pancake.

Alea savoring her pancake.

Alea giving a big hug and kiss to Arianna.

The kids watching Mary leave for the day. From left to right Armando, Alea, and Arianna.

These babies travel in packs, where one goes, the rest follow. Here they are at one of their favorite toys. Arianna is the one giving us her famous grin. Ha Ha Ha.

Armando's new thing is to climb on anything. Grandma caught him looking out of the window on top of the toy.

Mary brought a tent to attach to the tunnel. The kids had lots of fun playing in it.

All three kids in the tent. Watch out for Alea (she is trying to take a bite out of Armando!).

Another thing that Armando is into is pushing chairs. The other day, he was pushing the high chair with Arianna in it. LOL.

Alea enjoys "walking" while pushing this toy:)

First day in church

Mother's Day was the first time the babies were in church. I had so much anxiety that morning, wondering how the babies were going to behave and handle the "crowd." To my surprise they did very well, sitting somewhat quiet for the entire service. I couldn't believe it! We had a wonderful time showing off our babies:) It felt REALLY good to introduce them to our congregation. It took us the entire morning to get ready for church. Our morning consisted of early morning breakfast, morning naps, mid morning bottles, diaper changes, dressing babies, packing diaper bags and getting ourselves dressed. Then we were finally ready to stroll the kids to church.

Arianna all dressed up and ready to go:)

Armando is also dressed and ready to go.

Alea waiting on Mommy to put her hair bow;)

Daddy and the kids all ready to go, finally!

All of us in church:) Just hanging out and waiting for the service to start:)

The second Sunday in church went smooth as well. We didn't need to take the kids to the nursery because once again they sat "quietly."

Happy Mother's Day!!

I got the coolest Mother's Day card in the mail (thanks Vicki), and I want to share the message with all of you:)

Mom is
WOW
spelled
upside down!
...makes perfect
sense to me.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Kids having fun:)

These are random pictures of the kids playing and having fun.

They get to play with Sam's tunnel (thanks Mary) when he isn't at his grandma's house. The kids have so much fun with this tunnel, chasing each other while going through it.
Top picture: Alea crawling through.
Bottom picture: Arianna starting to crawl through.

After their morning bottles, the kids usually crawl one after the other to the living room to play with this fun toy (see picture below). Most of the time Alea starts the party, then everybody follows her laughing and squealing. It’s very funny to watch. I hope I can get it on video someday.

Hey, do we have a musician in our hands? Ha. Armando likes to pull himself up by the piano and "play it."

Grandma bought the kids a beautiful red wagon. They love it, even if they aren't riding it the right way. Hehehe. Arianna on the left, Alea on the right and Armando behind them.

Arianna likes to "dance" to the beat of the music. Very funny to watch:)

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there:) We are going to have a very special day tomorrow. We are taking the kids to our church for the first time. Everybody is anxious to meet them, and we are eager to show them off:)

A triple stroller, at last!

When we first found out that we were having triplets, we thought that 2 double strollers would be the way to go. Who in a right state of mind would go alone anywhere with 3 babies? Ha. That's what I used to think, but now I'm ready to go places on my own. After weeks of reading "customer's reviews" on triple strollers, we got ourselves the fabulous Peg Perego:) I love it!

These are our two double strollers:) When the two of us are taking the kids somewhere, we like to take the two doubles. We like the cup holders for our water and the empty seat for our oversize diaper bag. Our Peg Perego loaded with kids:)

From left to right Armando, Arianna and Alea

Alea had a lot fun riding in the front seat:)

Armando "walking"

Armando loves to "walk" pushing his little toy:)

Photo shoot pictures

Our three peas have turned one! I still can't believe it! Enjoy the pictures:) Arianna in pink, Alea in yellow, and Armando in blue;)

Arianna, baby A, didn't give us any smiles at the studio:( She is our shy one. Her pictures turned out very cute:) Miss Arianna is crawling all over the place and pulling herself up:) She loves her Daddy and Grandma, but she is definitely a Mommy's girl:) At home she smiles lots. She can light up a room with her beautiful smile:) She is some what easy going, but sometimes she bites.

Alea, baby B, is very friendly if she is in the mood;) She has been crawling for awhile. She is also cruising. Alea likes to be referred to as the Queen of the house, Ha. She is our demanding one:) She can get Daddy to do anything with one big smile. She loves Mommy and Grandma, but she is more of a Daddy's girl. She is also very adventurous. She likes to wander off to explore "new" territory. She is definitely a biter.

Armando, baby C, is such a flirt. He was all smiles at the photo studio (after he got comfortable). He was the first one to start crawling and cruising. He loves to get his hands on everything that he can reach. He is VERY friendly and very laid back. He loves to steal toys from his sisters. The poor guy never bites, but he gets bitten many times (particularly when he steals his sisters' toys). He is very cuddly:) Armando loves everybody, but I think he is a Grandma's boy:)
