Theme of 2010 . . .

UNEXPECTED SURPRISES . . . Aaron all the time gets jobs offered to go work at Music Studios across the country, especially since he is highly trained both in Engineering and Consulting (he took both in college, because he did not know what aspect he actually wanted to go). He just loves music in general. Anyways, while most of the time he politely turns them down because he loves the firm he works with now, they are very flexible with his work schedule (as long as he puts in the hours), he does not have to travel much (which this mommy enjoys), and they are a good bunch of guys.

While, with baby #3 on the way, we have been talking a lot about our concerns about raising 3 kids surrounded with no family, out here in LA. When on Wednesday one of the guys from his company approached him and said there is a great opportunity in Florida (Gainsville to be exact), at first we were like no, no changing company's not an option. Then we went out for supper with him and his wife, and he talked so highly about them, and it was like these two studios worked close that the transition might not be as bad, and there would be no hard feelings if he left this company for another.

To make a long story short, we are going to spend 5 days in Gainsville (Aaron is actually), I am headed to Walt Disney World with my mom and dad and the boys, while he checks it out, but where I stand know is that it is 10 time closer to our families then LA, it is only an hr. away from my favorite vacation place, and to top it all off their 2nd studio is Nashville, which means when he / we travel it means we will be heading home.

Wish us luck, and I could not leave out cute pictures of my favorite little men. Enjoy!

In six short months. . .

Aaron had the evening off last night, so we had a delicious meal at home, and were able to sit back relax and talk. Of course, that talk led us to the big conversation that in 6 short months we will be parents to 3 little ones under the age of 2. We are both exicted and nervous at the same time. We know we do have to make some changes in our life, having both our families live so far from us is really hard, we did agree that we want to have the baby at home in not in LA, so after our trip with my parents I will be moving in with them, and Aaron will travel back and forth until about August where he will work at the company quarters in Nashville until the baby is born. Will this move be permanent I don't know... we like the idea, but I also know Aaron loves his job out in LA, so we do not know what the future holds from there.

I know for certain that I will need more help, let that be a family member or a nanny ( I like the idea of a family member better), but with 3 kids in diapers, two of which are high energy boys, and another little one, it would be tough on your own, for the 1st little while at least. Aaron knows that, and he is a fantastic farther and does everything he can with the boys. I am truly blessed, but at the same time he is the one that brings money into our household and supports all 4 of us, therefore he sacrifices a lot of his time to make us happy.

Just to let you know how crazy our life can be sometimes, Aaron was home last night, so instead of me doing dishes along with the bottles from the day, I let it slide to this afternoon, so we could spend some time as a family which left me this chaotic mess at lunch time. . .
Now add one more baby on a bottle, and there goes half my day. (My mom did point out that I could probably wean the Ryder and Kyran onto sippy cups so it would not be that bad, and they could be put into the dishwaser, I might just do that). I don't know how moms of triplets do it.

Another suggestion I got from a friend, was get the boys to help out. (She joking of course)! Could you imagine them helping out at 16 months. Then again they do love playing in the dishwasher, so might as well train them young.




At the end of the day, I know the best thing for our growing family will be, and that I am truly exicted for whatever the future may hold, and this little one on the way :))

Home Sweet Home & Loving our new Trucks !!!

We finally made it home (or back to LA). I decided to extend our visit by a week since Aaron had to fly to New York, and I did not want to fly back home with the boys by myself, so more visiting we did.

The first thing we did was open the boys new dump trucks, that I would not let happen while we were in Nashville. They would of been to difficult to bring home on the plane, if they were not in their box. I know I am a mean mommy, but they do love them, and especially riding in them!!!

To Great Grandparents House we Go....

Growing up my Grandparents were very much involved in my life, so coming home for Easter it was very important that we spend some time with them at their place. The boys just loved them as you can see from the pictures.

Identical yet so opposite . . .

We were at Aaron's Mom's yesterday, where she made us some delicious homemade Lemonade. Aaron thought it was perfect timing to introduce the boys to Lemons. Let me say it was interesting....

Ryder attempting to pick up the slice.


Ryder wondering what this yellow thing is?
Ryder Taste Test #1, mommy could not bear the reaction, she took it out of his mouth.

Ryder what this strange yellow food is?



Taste Test #2 resulted in same reaction.
Ryder giving the look, What is this thing?

Kyran on the other hand, knew better and just gave us the puppy dog eyes the whole time, refusing to pick it up.

A Birthday, 10 months and another little one on the way!

Well we officially made it home, and our excited to be home for a whole 2 weeks, to catch up with family and friends.

My moms, first order of business was to celebrate my birthday (ahhhh 26), which I could not complain since she makes the best chocolate cake in the world. ( Yummy!)




Opening up my presents! I got two perfect gifts. A homemade apron that my mom made herself, and yes.... wait for it. My first pair of elastic pants (well I guess not my first), but my first with this baby. Yes Aaron and I are expecting another little one at the end of October (just 1 this time), meaning Ryder and KyraFont sizen are going to be big Brothers. We are all very excited!!!



Ryder and Kyran also turned 10 months yesterday. . . can you believe it! Where has the time gone. We decided to celebrate at ranch just outside of town. We got some really adorable pictures.
