Three Peas in a Pod: Having fun outside:)

We've been having a lot of fun outside with the nice weather:) Alea had been sick with the virus roseola, yuck! But now everybody is doing well:) So we are taking advantage of the last days of summer by going to the park and going on walks:)

The kids are doing SO MUCH these days! It's crazy that they are 16 month old already! They are all climbing on and into the toy chest. Arianna is walking VERY WELL. Armando does fairly well, but he still wobbles. Alea is standing up without any assistance:) She is going to need an orthotic (s/p?) on her left foot:( Poor thing is going to have to wear tennis shoes all the time:( But hopefully, it won't be for too long.

These are the things the kids are saying these days. First the English words: Puppy, yummy, mmmm, bye-bye, uh-oh, night nite, tanky (Frankie), thank you. Spanish words: mami (Mommy), papa (potato), ma (más which means more) and gracias (thank you).

We have our milk challenge next week please pray that the kids pass the test. I can’t wait to get rid of this dairy and soy free diet for them.

Since I’m not too busy with the kids (can you read my sarcasm?), I restarted my MBA. I’m enrolled for 2 online classes. This was the first week of school and boy am I rusty! I was so stressed and freaked out after reading my courses syllabus that I had a hard time falling asleep (which never happens). Now that Friday has roll around, I feel a lot better and more comfortable with the classes.

The other day, Matt and I decided to go for a walk at the arboretum. Since it isn't complicated enough to take three toddlers and a triple stroller, we decided to bring Frankie as well. Frankie is not used to being on a leash (since we live on a farm he has lots of room to run around so we don't usually walk him). Anyway, he did fairly well. However, when it came to cross a bridge, he was scare to death, Hahahaha. Matt had to drag him through the whole bridge. Here is a photo, isn’t it hilarious?

Matt dragging Frankie across the bridge. I can't help it but laugh when I see this picture.

The kids, Frankie and me:)

We have discover a new way of transportation:) The wagon! Yay!! I love to use it for short little errands like running to the local grocery store for a few items, stopping at library for a couple of movies, going to the park, taking milk to our barn kittens, etc. The kids love it too. They finally sit nicely in it:) Thank you grandma:)

Alea really loving the swing.

Armando enjoying the ride:) Wow! Look at all that hair and now it's gone. Yep, we cut it last weekend (actually the day that I started this post). I promise to post pictures ASAP;)

Arianna laughing nonstop in the swing.

The girlies in the swing. Look at those cute pigtails:)

This time we even went down the slide:) Arianna after going down.

Alea trying to figure out what to do.

Armando ready to go down.

Armando climbing the "rock wall." He didn't get too far, haha.

I've been trying to take pictures of the kids together. This mission impossible. First, I start with Alea since she is the less mobile. Then Armando and Then...
