What a fun weekend!

Friday my babysitter canceled AGAIN! Nothing is worse than getting ready and getting excited to leave the house and then not getting to! Sooo, I decided I was going to take the babies along for my errands. I never realized how much I liked going and doing until I had the babies and I wasn't able to! I put the babies in the car and we started at Bella Jacks to pick up new shoes for Ava. Paige got to meet the babies for the first time! Then we stopped by the liquor store to visit daddy and take a quick trip next door to Sonic for Happy Hour. I decided I still wasn't ready to go home so I made B ride with us to Rogers to do a little more shopping. It was snack time for the babies as soon as we got there so we just sat in the parking lot and fed them their bottles. I should have taken a picture it was pretty funny! For some reason their bottles exploded when we took the caps off. Not sure what that was about! We had to take turns shopping. He sat in the car with them while I ran in my stores and I sat in the car with them while he went to Academy. At one point I was checking out and B walks in the store to go to the bathroom. He left the babies in the car with it running and the doors unlocked! The car was pulled up right in front of the store but I was still a little nervous someone would steal them! No one call child services on us please! I took B back to work and I went home with the babies! I think I've decided that the reason I like to leave the house so much is that when I'm away I don't have to wash bottles, clothes, clean, etc. Of course that is all waiting on me when I get home but it's still nice to have a little break!


We had big plans to meet Melissa, Matt, and their twins at the farmers market Saturday morning at 9:30. We all woke up at 9! This is the morning I learned to prop their bottles! B and I jumped out of bed and we just propped up all three bottles with pillows while we got ready! It was so easy! I'm going to have a hard time going back to feeding them the old way! ha I packed their diaper bag and laid out their outfits so we were out the door by 9:30! Pretty impressive if you ask me! We had so much fun! The weather was pretty and we saw so many of our friends! B and I had only been to the farmers market one other time and I have lived in Fayetteville for 10 years! B always said "Oh we can go all of the time when we have kids". I never really believed him but I guess he was telling the truth. We already have plans to go back next weekend! I think the babies really liked it too! They stayed awake and looked around the whole time! We ran into the Penix's while we were there too! I think our little group took up the entire street with our strollers! B pushed the double stroller and so many people stopped him and said "Oh wow, twins" then he would say "No, actually triplets" and we would get stuck talking forever. One woman even hugged me and said, "Oh bless your heart". I finally told him to quit telling everyone they were triplets and just keep walking! We were there for an hour and a half and never even made it to one side of the market because we stopped so much to chat!


Knox looked around the entire time!! He is definitely nosey!


This was our first attempt at taking a group shot. Our strollers blocked the entire sidewalk!


We finally got the babies together for a pic! You can't really see my sweet babies but they are there!


We ran into the Greers! Ava stopped to say hello to Mr Bennett!



When we got home Brandon's dad, sister, and niece were there to see the babies! This was their first time to get to hold them! It's always so nice to have visitors that like to help! Heather was a lifesaver! I was feeding Ava and heard her poot. I didn't think anything about it. After she finished her bottle I looked down and realized she had a complete blowout! It's like it bypassed her diaper and went straight to my lap. So freaking gross. I actually took a picture and sent it to B to show him what he was missing at home while he was at work but I will spare you the grossness! It was a two person job to get her cleaned up and in the bathtub!

Saturday night the babies attended their first party! We went to Sarah, Jared, and Bennett's new house for a cookout. The babies got all dressed up in their new clothes! We had such a great time Sarah and Jared! The food was delicious and your house is beautiful!

Ava hanging out with Miller and Bennett. I think she was yelling "Hey boys! Look at me!"



We lined the babies up from oldest to youngest! Little Knox was at the end of the line!

The babies spent a lot of the night in their carriers. Oliver is only two months older than the babies. Can you believe how big he is?



Ava is a little flirt but she acted a little shy around Bennett! Maybe that is her way of flirting!




The babies partied a little too hard!





Sunday was B's first Fathers Day. When he woke up he said "No breakfast in bed?" Ha Yeah right! I can't exactly take three babies with me to Wal-Mart to buy groceries much less find time to cook! So, I made a quick trip to McDonald's for sausage biscuits. McDonald's cooks are much better than I am anyway! We had a great lazy day. B went for a run, I did a little shopping at Sam's while he watched the babies, and then the McCarty's and Penix's came over to swim and grill out. I love summer weekends!

We tested out our pack and play. Ava and Knox really liked hanging out with the big people outside! Brooks spent the day sleeping inside in his swing!

Sweet Madeline! I can't believe how big she is now!
We had such a fun weekend! We can't wait for the next!
