Car keys, iPhone and a night out at the bar with the girls...(they don't card hard)

Wait, that can't be, let's get that into focus...

We're out of the house at Sports Page!

Dumbest question ever asked at a bar. Did you want the big beer or the little one?

I don't care if there's no snow, I'm making snow angels.

Rianne, the plummer shows her butt .

Apparently did not read about Hansel, Gretel and the oven...

I've taken out all of the cookie sheets, what's a girl gotta do to let you know we want you to bake cookies?

On the menu we have lasagna, spaghetti, peas and a little agua to wash it down.

Mommy, thanks for the delicious meal and I hate to pull a Cartman on you but am I to understand there is no fruit on the nightly special?

Almost drank it in one sip!



Car keys!

iPhone

Driving and texting! No Teagan, No.

Got my keys, slippers...where's my pumpkin and prince?

What's better than one set of keys?

Still looking for the pumkin, Teagan.

Can I help?

Serious face!

Oh, I dropped the keys...

And I pick them up...

And it's time to jump to the couch.

And eat the keys.

So I turn it on...

I don't know. What do you want on your pizza?

Teagan makes sure that no one is drinking and driving by holding all the keys.

3 out of 3 Triplets prefer...

I don't think we have ever talked about the girls' favorite things.  So we don't forget, I thought we'd document it now.  All three girls love their foam play set, their slide, our pantry, and tent. 

The foam play set they climb up the stairs, look outside, slide down, then go back up again. They still can't get down their slide on their own, but love going down. They will clear the first two shelves of the pantry and love to play together in there and in their tent. 

Rianne loves books.  Her favorites (which we read a least 20 times a day) are Quiet/Loud, Giraffe Sounds?, and Noisy Farm.  She loves to be read to and to sit and look through the books herself.  She also loves cartoons and iPhones. She has gotten less picky with what she eats and is learning to use her teeth.  She also loves to play chase, and hold her blankie.

Brielle can play with about anything.  She likes to look thru books, especially while sitting on the fire place.  She likes to stir things in bowls and play with her cookie and cupcake set from Grandma Guerra.  Her favorite thing though is to be held by her mom.  She is a mamma's girl to the extreme, but will scream for dad if mom isn't around, but then will run right to mom once she reappears.

Teagan likes cords and electronics.  She loves iPhones and iPads.  She likes to drag our chargers around which often gets her in trouble.  She loves to use her teeth to take lids off of anything and everything and there's her famous ooooooh when the fireplace lights up or she turns a light switch on or off.

Brielle finally has teeth!  She has one top tooth and two bottom teeth.  Teagan has eight teeth and is getting more in.  Rianne has four and more are poking through.  The girls are starting to say things besides mom and dad.  Rianne can say key (her blankie) and uh-oh.  Teagan says uh-oh and whoa while making great faces.  Brielle just points and makes loud noises and still does her head bob.

Teagan, if you get on my shoulders we can get to the second shelf.

I'm a sleepy leopard.

Emeril's coming over for a cooking lesson. Bam!

A puppy!

Here, rub the puppy's belly, she likes that.

Ahhh, where did the puppy go? Oh...@#$#, I'm stuck.

I can't get my mittens on!

Thanks grandmom!

The gentleman will have the Bud Light tall, the Tortilla soup, and I will have the Grilled Cheese with mashed potatoes, no gravy and a refill on my milk.

What are they looking at you ask?


Someone stole their blueberries.

Our little health professionals.






Nurse Teagan.
Are you assuming I'm going to be a nurse just because I'm a girl. I could be a doctor, a nurse, or any number of other things. Right now, I think you need to change my diaper and think about breaking those gender stereotypes. Gosh, it's not Nurse McStuffins. 

Brielle began writing some dental hygeine jokes because...



Ahhhhhh. Look at my tooth! Finally, I've got a tooth. (and 3 others). Okay, okay. What kind of bear do you find at the north pole?

A molar bear! What did the dental hygienist of the year get?


A little plaque! What was the dental hygienist looking for in Panama?

She was looking for the root canal! I've got one more! What time do most people go to the dental hygienist?

Tooth-hurty!

Happy Birthday Grandmom Guerra

Grandmom, it's your birthday?

Let me put this cupcake together!

Teagan, you need icing. Like this.

Grandmom, do you use just one candle like us?

How many candles do you want me to put on the cupcake?

No way that's going to work.

Be a shame to waste a perfectly good cupcake!

Mmmmmm. Delicious!

Quick Weekend Update

Brielle

Last Saturday, Brielle and Mindy went to her last sleep study ever!  (We hope)  Mindy had to lay in bed with her in order to keep her still enough keep all the wires on and get some sleep.  She had a pretty good night, but it was quite uncomfortable for me.  The tech said she did well and doesn't see her ever needing oxygen again!  We are still waiting for her pulmonologist to call and give us the official results.

I'm not sure if we have every mentioned before that when Brielle is really scared and or tired she will hold her breath when she cries and has passed out a few times from it. These are called breath holding spells and are not a behavioral issue and she will grow out of them.  They are often frightening as she turns pale and blue and we try so hard to get her to catch her breath.  Her worst incident was during their 15 month shots where she stayed pale for a long time. 

She has to get Synagis shots for RSV prevention again this year, so I was so nervous that she would not react well, but she kept breathing.  I'm hoping she has the same reaction to the next four doses.  Brielle is starting to develop more of her personality and now will stand and cry and wait for you to come get her.  She laughs and smiles a lot and is self-entertained by about any toy. 

Rianne

She is really aware of things now as well. She will follow the girls around getting ready to steal a toy and will look at you and the toy to see if she's doing something bad. She and the girls love to jump on the couch so we have to be extra careful to spot them. She knows to back off the couch instead of going head first, but sometimes you wonder.

Teagan

Teagan is Teagan.  She is very energetic girl that needs to be kept busy.  She loves to open doors, play with the iPad which leads to fights with her sister, turn the ceiling fan on and off and flip light switches.  She thinks it is fun to turn the tv off by hitting the button on the side when we are in the middle of watching something.



The girls have started baking just in case dad needs to gain any more weight.

Oh yes, Christmas will be fun and messy!

Three jogging suits.

In the 70's we called them leisure suits.





Well, Teagan has no chest hair, but this (below) used to be cool.


Tans were healthy and chest hair was plentiful.

Dad, you don't zip it up, then you'd be a nerd...like you.

Pumpkins and Learners Permits

I have to taste it before I can hand it out.

Rianne's got her toothbrush ready...

Cutest Theater Geek Ever.

We're' the Great Pumpkin? That's just my sister.

Driver's Ed Convertible. No one's actually holding the steering wheel.

I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque
