3rd Birthday...where'd the time go???

So we have been swamped with birthday activities and celebrating our 10th anniversary. October is always a crazy time of year for us!

The kids turned 3 on October 19th and I just wonder where my little babies went. Everyone says time flies and when your in the midst of multiple night feedings you think they are crazy. Many times in those first few months you think the days drag out forever. But I can tell you, looking back, I am missing those days already. Not so much the breastfeeding two people at one time but the quite, calm, non-trashing-my-house-every-two-minutes moments. Two's have been a whole different ball game for us and we praise anyone who tries to get through them with triplets or more!

I will be updating their stats in another post as we are not going to get to go for our well checkup tomorrow because we aren't well. Fevers, coughs, runny noses...welcome fall!

So sit back and enjoy the birthday pics.

Miss Hannah (Elliot's school buddy)

E & Cameron (her idol!)

Going down the slides will mess up your pretty doggie ears!

Party at Jump Zone (highly recommend!)

We separated the kids in the party room so Elliot felt like she had her own party and Keaton felt like he got his boy party. E chose Hello Kitty for her theme and Bubby of course chose baseball!

Most of our friends at the party...

Grammy and Memaw sitting in the birthday thrones.

Love this one!

E's matching Hello Kitty bows!

My big kids...(sigh)

My precious family...I am so blessed!

The present opening chaos!

We got the kids bikes for their birthday presents.

Elliot was so excited to finally have her princess bike!

All Keaton wanted was a motorcycle-bicycle.

Only problem was this bike seat does not adjust. Not quite sure what kid is smaller than mine and needing a bike???

Keaton trying to "fic" it.

So we made a run to Wal-Mart and he picked out a new Tonka bike...with adjustable seat!

Thanks for the awesome shirts Miss Amanda!

E first bike wreck. Yes she was fine...just a little drama queen.

K's first wreck...he was fine too!

Does this look like a tough kiddie gang or what? This pic cracks us up!

Birthday night dinner.

Finally, this is one of Elliot's bday presents (thanks Kaffie!). She had to put it on and wear it all evening. YES...she did her own hair!

*Just a quick note for all you NWA mommas...Jump Zone is a awesome place to have a birthday party. They literally take care of everything so all we had to do was enjoy the party. They also have open jump on Wednesday from 10-1pm for younger kids. Admission is only $5.

The Things to Never Forget...

As most of you know, I originally used this blog to journal the raising of my kids since I am a terrible at physically journaling and knew I would never get around to baby books. So occasionally I will be posting things the kids say or do that I just happened to over hear or see. Luckily for you all these are becoming all to numerous occurrences with Miss Elliot.

For example, this morning we were getting ready for school this morning and I was brushing Keaton's crazy hair. E tells me the following: "Momma, be careful brushing Teton's hair. He is grouchy and may try to fight you."

This afternoon I was upstairs picking up and the kids were down when I hear E tell K "Teton, you better put your underwear on before daddy gets home and spanks you with the hammer!"

Now, I will say we have never spanked our kids with an object more or less a hammer! Things that these kids say sometimes!
