Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful hubby... my rock... my Mr. Calm... the only man I could ever raise all these children with!  We love you Troy/Daddy!

And Happy Father's Day to my own Dad... who always makes us laugh and loves my kids as much as he loves my sisters and I.  Troy and I always joke that he and Griff are best friends!  I love you Dad!

First Swim!

My mom, Natalie and I took the babies to the pool for the first time today!  Here are some shots from that adventure.... it went really well aside from getting dressed at the end - everyone was cold and tired so the change room got pretty loud!

Here they are ready to go to the pool:

Gibsyn in her cute lil swimsuit:

Fletcher the butter-ball with Auntie Nat:

Sunny lovin' her itty bitty bikini!

All three of them relaxing in the baby pool...

It was kind of funny cause the aquasize class got out just as we walked into the change room so the babies were bombarded with "grandmotherly types"... people (especially older women) get such a kick out of three babies!

Day Trip Gone Bad

Growing up, my mom instilled in me the Golden Rule - if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.  So I tend to only blog happy, nice moments... and I feel like perhaps I have painted a very pretty picture, but not necessarily a realistic one.  I'm assuming the people who read this blog want to know what life is really like in our house, so today I wanted to share a not so happy experience...

I took Griffin and Sunny to Spectrum today (Troy stayed home with Gibs and Fletch). It's a festival downtown that has food, bouncy castles, face painting, pony rides, entertainment and so on.  It started off great, but ended with me carrying a screaming baby and dragging a screaming three year old by the arm for two blocks until we reached the mini van.  Granted, Sunny was hungry and Griffin was ready for his nap, but still, it was very embarrassing.  Here's an after shot of Griff... note the spiderman face paint which was washed away by his temper tantrum.  Thank goodness I only brought one baby...
