For my friends and family not following us on Facebook

Where to start....
Jamie turned 15 yesterday. She has been taking dance in school this year and will be trying out for the dance team in a couple of weeks. She has had a couple of performances and it has been fun to watch her and the prep team. I'm very excited about being able to see in her in football games come fall :)





Hunter and Hannah have started playing soccer. I don't have any pictures yet as I (the family picture taker) have not been able to go to the practices etc. Once spring break is over, the schedule will settle a bit and we will be able to trade out who takes to practice and hopefully take the whole family to the games! I'm excited because it reminds of when Jamie played and we took the baby-twins. They were so cute and fun at that age, just like the triplets are now.

Oh, and they've both gotten short haircuts recently. Daddy is a big fan of Hannah's short hair, just as he was when we cut Jamie's short at that age. Hunter's was shorter than what I really asked for, but it's growing on me.





Cooper is a big walking boy! It's been so much fun watching him. Despite his being so premature, he is my youngest walker; he was walking pretty well by 11 1/2 months. We finally got the gates for the family room and were able to really open it up while keeping them corralled. Now that he has all that space, he is really walking like crazy.


Now Molly is walking a little, too. She had taken a couple of steps several times and then the other night she just let go of me and walked to her Daddy all the way across the room!

Peanut has switched allegiance and now wants ME all the time. As soon as I arrive home she cries for me and doesn't stop until I spend the rest of the evening holding her. She also really thinks she should have been an only child, or at least an only baby. A lot of the time she only settles down if I take her into the other room and just be alone with her for a while. I had to take her to run errands one day this week because she would not chill out. She was perfectly content to hang out with me at Blockbuster, Starbucks and Walmart :)

At their one year well-baby Molly was about 21 lbs, Cooper 20ish, and Emily still a tiny 16 lbs. She is still 5th percentile for weight and 20th for height. Since they are switching to milk and regular food we have to watch her intake and supplement a little formula, but overall it's still not a concern. She has continued to grow on that same curve, she is just a Peanut! She is in good company; there are a few petites in our family and her cousin MacKenzie is a Little Bit, too :)


Now, some pictures. MawMaw and PawPaw, I have printed a bunch of pictures for you, it's just a matter of getting them in the mail....especially since I can't remember the last time we owned a stamp :)


Finally got a good picture of those beautiful baby blues!
He's my sweet boy!
Molly is a snuggler so I got this picture while she was trying to climb backwards into my lap after I put her down.

See? DAILY!!!


MawMaw, remember this little bunny you gave us last year at Easter? It is one of the babies' favorite things and they will dance to it over and over. They are so cute when they dance. My favorite part is that Molly and Cooper rock side to side and Emily bounces up and down.

And finally, just needed a good snot picture - we've been dealing with A LOT of this stuff lately.

TTFN!
