Wow! In the last month or so, little Ownen has learned SO MUCH! He crawls everywhere, including up the stairs! He eats food all by himself. In fact he likes to feed himself so much that he won't let us spoon feed him. With no teeth, this limits his food intake a bit. He also needs a bath after every meal! He pulls himself to stand and has even started moving along the edge of the tub and couches. He will be walking very soon! He is such a precious little thing and we love him so much. We are so happy to have him in our family! Working with Daddy.
Easter preparations looked like this: Connor slept in these bunny ears every night a week before Easter.
We had an Easter egg hunt and told the Easter story from the scriptures for FHE. The pictures from the Easter story were in some of the eggs. After the egg hunt, we put the story together and the kids got to eat their candy. It was a fun way to remember Jesus. We had the annual Grant egg hunt and egg roll. Maddy was the winner of the raw egg award! Aspen was on someone's shoulders the entire time because there was a cat outside! Silly girl. On Sunday, we read the Easter story again and then the kids found their baskets. We ate Easter dinner with the Grants too. My mom ended up being really sick. Bummer! It was a fun weekend for us though. We love Easter!
The triplets turned 6 on March 22. We celebrated their birthday at Disneyland and gave them birthday money to spend there. On their actual birthday we went to Pirate Island. IT was fun but don't ever buy the pizza! Yuck! Then we had cake and ice cream at home with our friends. We also had a small party with the grandparents. It was nice not to have to plan a ton of parties! I also only got one picture from the various events. I used my video camera instead! Oh well. I just can't believe that my precious triplets are 6! It feels like just yesterday my 2 pound babies were born! The first year is just a blur, but I loved being a mom and having these three babies to care for. They have brought so much joy into our lives! We love you Aspen, Connor, and Brooke! Love, Mom and Dad
ASPEN: In the car ride home from vacation, I turned around and scared Aspen with a "Roar". She screamed, laughed, then said, "Momma, roar me again!" *****We called Grandma around 9:00pm to tell her Happy Birthday. Aspen said it really quietly. We told her to say it louder, but instead she said, "I just really want to go to bed." *****We were shopping for clothes for Uncle Cam's wedding and Aspen picked up a cute outfit. She ran up to Dave, showed it to him, and then said, "Love it!" *****She calls freckles, "pickles." It's so cute. I can't correct her.
CONNOR: We were in a bathroom in California and I jokingly asked Connor if he needed a diaper change. (He is potty trained!) He looks at me seriously and says, "I don't know. Let me check." And proceeds to pull down his pants. *****One night we were out late shopping. On our way home Connor fell asleep. I tried to wake him up to ask him what he wanted for dinner at MCDonald's and because bed time was only an hour away. He groggily responded, "But the sky is down!" ***** Playdough for Connor is pronounced, "potato." Again, can't correct it.
BROOKE: We were watching a video of Panda sneezing and she thought it was so funny. She said to me, "Connor and Aspen have to see this! They will crap up!" *****At the grocery store, the kids always fight over who gets to ride in the "car" part (only room for two). So yesterday I asked who would volunteer to sit in the basket part. Aspen willingly volunteered so I let her choose a treat. I was telling Dave about it before family prayer and Brooke said, "Next time you do that, I'll Bolunteer!" *****Brooke calls eyelashes, "eyeflashes." Too sweet.
