Ooops.. The Cutest Pictures EVER!!! For Real ThisTime.

The boys Aunt Scratchy Face (Randi Rene) bought them these adorable suits for Christmas. I knew that they would not be attending many social events this season ...their calendar is jam packed, so the only thing to do was to haul them to Val Rothwell and play baby super models. They are so cute!!! They look like they are ready to take on corporate america at any moment!

We have been adopted by Shannon Ryan in Casper and all of my crew have landed on anesthesia
island! So because Shannon is our new fairy godmother she had her VERY talented sister in law make the boys the cutest onesies ever. So we needed a photo shoot for these too!!!

Can you see Sam's hair? It is sticking up everywhere and he doesn't really have that much hair.


Max was all about eating his arm.

The Beer Fridge... And Trips Down Memory Lane!!




When Colin and I first got married he kept hasseling me about a fridge in our bedroom to be used specifically for beer. I of course bawked at this letting him know that we were not trailer trash and he would never get a fridge in our bedroom!! Fast forward 9 years and Colin gets his wish, only it holds bottles of formula instead of budlight! The fridge has been in our room since we brought the babies home and two days ago I moved it out to make room for another crib. The babies are getting so big that they need more room to sleep, hence the second crib. You forget how quickly they grow and turn into little boys.

Five years ago we were awaiting the arrival of Jack. I was not a nice pregnant girl. I remember feeling enormous and uncomfortable. Little did I know that in four short years I would truly understand the word ENORMOUS and UNCOMFORTABLE! I like to think that you only get what you deserve so I got mine. I am soooo lucky!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!!!


It's 2010. I am on the phone with my cousin who is in labor with her first baby. So very soon a new addition will be added to the Brown family. Yeah Carrie!!! We are now off the phone because she was starting to feel the contractions!!! I am glad that I can update people from 1500miles away. Ha!
All is well with the Vickers/ Brown-Lenz family. The little boys are growing and changing everyday. The are all starting to babble and coo. Max has the sweetest little voice. Sam is the smiley boy and Drew likes to "talk" to his mobile before bed. They all weigh between 11 and 12 pounds and have grown out of 0-3 month clothes. They are wearing 3-6 months now. I am amazed at how quickly this time has gone by. I will be returning to the land of the employed in a few short weeks. I am on the fence about it. I like what I do, but hate being away from my boys! Summer can't come soon enough!!

Christmas was wonderful again this year. It was very quiet with just our little family, but nice. Jack was up with the babies at 4:30 and ready to open gifts and see what Santa brought. Needless to say we were downstairs by 5:15 and the festivities were on.

The little boys daily excercise. Drew and Sam hate it and Max falls asleep.

9 weeks

A belated happy Thanksgiving!!!



Jack is a really big help!!!!


Max
Sam


Drew





The holiday season is closing in on us and the boys have are 9 weeks old. They are really starting to get big and they are becoming more human everyday. Sam was smiling at Jack yesterday during a short torture session. Jack is a very good big brother and is staring to have more fun with his sweethearts. The boys all recieved their RSV shot last week. Thank god!! So we are hoping for a healthy winter. Of course they got weighed at the Dr. as well.


Sam = 10lbs 11 oz
Drew= 9lbs 14oz
Max= 9lbs 12 oz

They are really packing it on. Which is a good thing because it means that a full nights sleep is around the corner!! They did really well last night. They ate at 11:30 and Max woke up at 3:45 and started the invasion into our bed. He didn't eat until quarter till 5 and and then Sam and Drew both started to stir around 5-5:30. So really about 5 hours or so!!! The Vickers Trio will be sleeping through the night before Santa comes!!! I have been talking to them about sleeping a lot since they were in their one bedroom apartment in my body and itis paying off!! Alway think positive!!!

7 weeks old ...The saga continues!!!

We have made it to almost two months with the Trio. Time really flies. They are all growing and changing everyday. Drew,Max&Jack all caught colds and I have spent more time up at the Booger Clinic (Children's Clinic) then I thought possible. Two times in one day with different kids each time! All the boys are over 8lbs, Sam is 1/2 an ounce away from 9lbs. Jack continues to love on his "sweethearts" or "my boys" as he likes to call them as he basically licks their heads and spread all the germs he can on them! It is a disgusting display of love! I have also decided that people really want to see more pics and less of my writing so I doubled the pics this week!! Thanks again to all the help that we have been getting! We are truly blessed with wonderful friends and family!

OOh I almost forgot people are really interested in how much of everything we use. Now we are not the Duggars, but we are cruising through formula, diapers, and wipes at rapid rate!!

One Days Baby needs:
24 - 4oz bottles...about 108oz of formula a day..about 1 can a day.
24-30 diapers a day
1/2 - 1 box of wipes- especially the homemade ones.
9 changes of clothes a day give or take.
Hundreds of burp rags..
2-3 loads of laundry a day.





Drew-Drew Bee- yeah we also call him Drewcilla

The Swine Flu..and the Trio is 1 month old!

The babies are 1month old today. Time really flies! Anyone who knows me or atleast knows me well, knows what a baby hog I am. If I know you and you have a child I have probably stolen your sleeping newborn out of your arms atleast once. I just love babies. Now here I sit with three newborns and I couldn't be happier! The boys are growing and changing everyday. They look totally different from eachother. Drew is a mini Jack, Sam and Max are there own men, who really do not look alike at all. Max is the little one at 6lbs. 3oz. Sam is sitting at 6lbz 13oz and Drew is the bruiser at an even 7lbs.

We are all adjusting to bottle feeding. I am probably adjusting the most. It is what it is I suppose. The boys reflux continues to mystify us. Who would have thought they could spit out their noses daily. Poor babies!!!!

As the title tells the swine flu made it to the house. The carrier- Jack. Colin and Jack both were sick with H1N1 this week. Good times to be had in our household. Both were forced into seclusion in the master bedroom. We brought them food and water and the Wii. Colin had it worse than Jack did. Colin still isn't feeling 100%, but he gets to sleep with me and three screaming babies again so life for him is on the up swing!!!

We have been lucky enough to have lots of great visitors this first month. My Mom has been staying with us, Mimi and Family flew in, Randi Rene has come to help, and My Grandma and Uncle Roch were able to visit. The babies really appreciate the extra help that they are getting!!!
