Life is like finding a Darth Vador Mask in your bed!
That's right wisdom from the great boy mother. I am considering writing a book and this will be my title. Mimi and Emma are up for a visit. Jack and Emma are creating their own kind of fun, namely mud pits in the backyard. Naked mud pits. I know many of you find it shocking that Mimi and my offspring are not the modest individuals that their mothers are. I am pretty sure that Karma is having a good laugh right now. Too bad we are laughing with her. We think naked mud pit is a funny game.
Colin and I took a short house hunting journey and we returned to 3 spanking clean babies and Emma and Jack in the tub looking sort of like mud wrestlers. Apparently while Mimi was bathing the little boys the two big kids were rolling in the mud like dogs! Enjoy! I am sure that there will be more adventures this week.

The Happenings Of The Family
Well it has been another busy month in the BLV household. Jack and I are finishing up with school and the other people are dealing with us...or atleast me. May is such a crazy month. It is as busy as August for a teacher. Jack wrapped up his last day of preschool last week. He really like pre school and all of the friends he made. His teachers thought that he would be ready to start school in the fall. Which is a good thing. He does have a little problem with socializing. He would rather talk with his friends than work or listen to a story. I personally am SHOCKED! I do not know where he got this kind of problem from.....
In other news the babies are all sitting up on their own. It really is a wonderful stage. They sort of entertain themselves and they CAN'T MOVE!!!! It is fantastic!!! I dread when they are moving in three different directions. All of them are holding their bottles so feeding is lots easier. Everybody is eating really well. I took a picture of their weekly food consumption. I want to remember how much the little piggies are eating. It breaks down to about...
35-49 jars of babyfood
1 big box rice cereal
2 big cans of formula
Needless to say I have decided to try and create my own babyfood. I have only done like two things. They liked it for the most part. How can you screw up squash? Just call me Mother Earth.
In house news we were lucky enough to sell our house 2 days before it was put on the market. Family friends are buying it and we couldn't be more happy. I would tell names, but I am not sure how they feel about being on my highly traveled site. Anyway we are still waiting on news of the Chuckwagon house. I told Colin that I will not freak out until June 15. In the mean time I am currently searching for the back up plan house. Which sucks, because I have already mentally moved into Chuckwagon. I had even come to terms with sending Jack to district 2. The housing market here is super ridiculous!!! Maybe I am cheap, but the price of houses is a joke. The Chuckwagon house definantely needs a little love and for the price I am willing to work on it, but I absolutely refuse to buy a $300K fixer upper! Colin also won't let me pay that much for a house, apparently we have 4 kids to put through college one day. So I have been on the hunt and can hardly wait for school to get out so that the realator and I can become dear friends!
None of the pics have labels this month because they posted in a different format. Hopefully you can tell the boys a part. Max is the biggest, Drew usually has a scratch on his face with fluffy hair and Sam's hair is longer on top!!!

Sad Day
Yesterday we made the decision to put Issac to sleep. It totally sucked. We have had him since 96, when Mimi and Misty thought we should get a dog. Mimi wanted this blind hard of hearing dog, but they decided on the little red one that kept jumping really high and was an "escape artist". So Issac was brought into our lives. He was a consistent college roomate, running partner for Mimi, furniture sitter, kid lover,window barker and our first baby.
He has watched all of his Moms get married and have babies. He has played with all of our kids and has always been gentle. Alex especially loved Issac even though he shouldn't. Jack took it pretty well, since out of the three muts in this house Issac was his favorite. It sucks! There is just not a good way to put it. But he was in pain and it was not fair to make him suffer.

Sam practicing sitting! Yeah Sam!!!

A Year Ago..... Yesterday
A year ago yesterday was the day that we found out that our lives were going to change forever. It is hard to believe that a year has already passed and our little boys are here growing and healthy. I can still remember the overwhelming sense of dread that I felt going to the doctor that day, not knowing if we were going to lose the pregnancy. Dr. Storey had told me that if we were miscarrying that there was nothing that could be done blah,,blah.... all the same stuff that they say that really doesn't make you feel any better. We were still a little hopeful that things would turn out all right and the baby would be fine, but we didn't really know.
Dr. Storey was busy that day so Dr. Beveridge performed the U/S with our favorite nurse Leah. I had never met Dr. B before and I am afraid that the profanities that came spilling out of my mouth upon hearing the news may have not left the best impression. Though when you find out that there are 3 heartbeats instead of 1 it can take you by surprise. So I feel ok with dropping the F bomb on him. "Are you F***ing kidding me?" Seriously what would you have said?
And here we sit.... three screaming boys are on the floor in their pj's allright 2 are screaming. Max and Drew are voicing their opinions on my blogging while I try to finish the post. Sam has passed out and the grouchy Jack is watching TV. Life is crazy and we keep adding more to our plate. Colin and I stumbled upon our dream house three weeks ago. A cute farm house 10 miles out of town with 5 acres for boys and dogs. It is a forclosure so we have put in an offer and are waiting to hear from the bank that holds the note. Soooo we are trying to get this house ready to sell and not neglect our children and dogs. Ha! Now we are trying to figure out how to "declutter" a house with baby triplets. I would like to see this show on TLC. Maybe I will call the network........ if anyone is looking for a house in Cheyenne I've got one for sale.
These latest pics were taken 2 weeks ago when Seth, Jessie and Xander came to visit. The little boy that Jack is holding is not the 4th triplet...but Xander.

The Boys
Well, I can hardly believe how long it has taken me to add a few pics of the litter. The whole full time job thing has really gotten in my way as a blogger. I am pretty sure that I will not be making my millions off of this.
The latest news in the BLV household is that we switched Jack and the babies rooms. I am not sure why I wouldn't agree to it when I was prego, but I wouldn't and I was wrong. We should have had them switch rooms from the beginning and only painted once instead of three times! Oooops! So we now have a Space/Star Wars room. Jack's pick not mine. I tried to influence with more space and less character garbage, but he has a decorating mind of his own. So instead of my usual painted theme I bought the cheap star wars wall stickers and made new curtains for the windows and "fort". It looks cute and we are all happy. I will now have to repaint Jack's room and make it the nursery...again. I like to paint so I really don't mind.
Our boys are all getting so big. I can't believe that they will be six months old in a couple of weeks. Everybody is healthy and fat. There are pictures of the peanut (Max) who is now the biggest of them all. He is almost 16 pounds. I took pics of his giant thunder thighs because they are too damn cute.

What is cuter than a baby in overalls? 3 babies in overalls!

The boys are not very modest.. a trait Colin insists comes from my side of the family. We can hardly keep Jack dressed and the babies like the freedom that being a nudist allows!
