Here's what we've been up to lately!
I am loving this age so much. The kids are such fun to watch as they play together. Here they are practicing their wrastlin' moves on a big TV box. They rolled around all over each other for about 10 minutes straight and nobody got hurt!
A few weeks ago we went to see Uncle Josh's last gig with his band. The kids loved it. Julia showed off some slick dance moves!
Good grief it's hard to take a good picture of all three kids. They're either screaming or squeezing their eyes shut. We get our Christmas pictures and the kids' three year pictures next weekend. Ah, our lucky photographer!
Here are our little Chief's fans posing.
I love how Sophie just squeezes the love out of her brother!
This weekend we went to Worlds of Fun. It was really cute -all Halloween'd up! It was very chilly though. When Sophie's lips turned blue we decided that buying some sweatshirts was a good idea. Thanks Gigi!
Here are the kids in front of their favorite roller coaster.
Oh! Did you notice that there was a big dragon behind me?
Two of my newest favorite pics: Daddy and Julia - her hair is getting so long!
My favorite boys!
Isn't this the prettiest little girl in time-out? I couldn't resist taking a picture.
We babysat the other day. Here's Jules with Kiera. She loves babies and is such a little mommy.
Sophie loves animals.
And Sam loves trains. He's serious when he conducts!
That's about it! We're gearing up for their third birthday and working on the new house. Well the contractors are doing most of the work, but Shane is definitely putting some sweat into it too. Our contractor's name is Derick and the kids know that he's "fixing the house." Now every time something is broken they ask if Derick will fix it. Or if they wonder, "who made that?" and I say that I don't know, they tell me, "probably Derick." They also think that our Realtor Lisa comes with the house and will live with us!

a glimpse into our little life

Just read your interview on the Muliples board -- your kids are just darling : ) And I enjoyed reading a bit about your story. You blog photos are great too!
My daughters are 3 1/2 and have been potty-trained for over a year now, but still wear pull-ups at naps and bedtime. Sometimes they're dry when they wake from naps, once in a great while in the morning (one twin is dry more often). I try and limit what they drink before bed and have them go potty before they go to bed, but there are still enough wet pull-ups I haven't taken the chance to try panties. Are your kids dry overnight too? Any tips that worked well? My two do have milk about an hour before bed (which I'm trying to cut back on but that has been such a part of our routine since they were babies AND they get thirsty), and they sleep for about 11 hours -- which is a long time to hold it : ) I'm just curious to hear what others do, or any suggestions you might have.
Thanks!
Have a great day : )

Jeremi, Thanks for visiting! I wish I had a great tip for you. We did away with diapers/pullups during the day and the night time, and it went fine for the most part. Sophie woke up wet still about 50% of the time. Sam and Julia just "got it." And at this point, Sophie has too. They all make it 12+ hours a night just fine. I think it was just luck really. The kids are not super thirsty in the evening. We do a late dinner - about an hour before bedtime - and I don't limit their milk intake, but they don't drink any more than a cup.
I know what you mean about being in a routine of giving them milk and all, and believe me, we were very routine oriented, but I am finding that the kids are way more adaptable than I ever expected them to be. So I would go ahead and try to really cut back on that. You'll be surprised how well they do I bet!
Stopping over from Lani's! Your children are stunning!! great blog!
