did someone say... cheezy poofs?

You can only imagine what happens when you have 3 toddlers, in the living room, with a bag of cheezy paws...(new thing to cheeto's style snacks)... yep!! One, big mess!!! (Thanks, Dad)

gab

mary...who just seconds later, realized that her little mouth could not support the amount of cheezy poofs that she had stuffed in it... so yes.... you guessed it.... cheezy poofs on mommy's carpet....

cause you had a bad... hair day

Bad hair days happen around a lot here...and it isn't just to mommy anymore. Mary, the one blessed with the beautiful brown curlish locks.... just doesn't know how to manage it!

cool pic

Try as hard as I might, to develop my picture taking skills... I could never take a picture that had something "in focus" and the rest blurry. Well, there you have it - don't try, and you can accomplish anything!

topple baby brother

I am not sure if Mateo is just being nice....or if he doesn't know how to defend himself! Either way, the poor boy is outnumbered!

mischief

Yes, they are toddlers...and yes, they are getting into everything...but not just everything... I mean everything... especially since there are three of them! I have said "no" so much that Gabby now walks around saying "no, no, no"...

CLE - friends

I can't believe I forgot this one yesterday when uploading the pic's....

Aunt Hilary hosted a play date so that the trips could see all their friends.... Jenny (son Frankie), Robin (son Nicholas), Melissa (son Adam), Becky (daughter Erin), and of course Hilary (Joe & Thomas) and my 3..... we had quite the group going! It was a blast!

lots to see

So I finally mustered up the strength to go through almost 300 pictures and post them on the blog. (Not an easy task, I may add!)

Hope you enjoy!

we gotcha!

I don't know what was harder....chasing after 3 toddlers or keeping Hilary's 30th birthday party a surprise!?!? I really still can't believe that we "got her" and that she hadn't a clue about the party. Thank you to everyone that came, helped, and celebrated with us!!!

(mary wanted to get in on the fun!)

CLE - play time

Aunt Hilary's house (i.e. backyard) proved to be a lot of fun for the trio!

mary head first!

mary and mateo on the teeter-totter... (and yes, gab got her fair share in, too!)

Mary's major melt down

God granted Mary with a good set of lungs!

Unfortunately, tantrums seem to be the norm for Mary lately. We hope it's a phase!

Ain't she cute?

Silent. Still. Adorable. But it only lasts a short time....

Mateo's first hair cut

We finally gave our baby boy his first hair cut! Daddy did a great job....
