Mommy & Daddy's RT

Today at 7:30am John and I headed out for a date day!  We started our day with a starbucks from mom, a full tank of gas, snacks, and a mysterious envelope from GG-ma and GG-pa that said "DO NOT open until the best road trip ever is well underway"... best start to a road trip ever!

We drove down to Canmore and started with breakfast out on the patio and then an hour massage...it was great!  Then we went into Banff for lunch and a quick shop, and then went out to Rafter Six to go whitewater rafting.  Neither of us had ever gone before and we had a blast!  By the time we got back from rafting we were SOAKED!  We will definitely be going again!

On the drive home we stopped at Crossiron mills, had supper and checked The Children's Place...we got some summer stuff for next year and with the extra 30% off ended up saving $305...I LOVE getting a good deal :)

We got home, snuggled our little dudes and are now ready to go to bed...BEST ROAD TRIP EVER!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM FOR STAYING WITH OUR LITTLE DUDES!

GUZOO

Today Mel and I took our boys to Guzoo.  It is right by the small town that my grandparents used to live in so we went all the time when we were younger.  I was SO excited to take my kids to somewhere that I remember being so fun as a kid!

We got there and the boys took off in three different directions...as per usual! hahaha

The first stop was in with the guinea pigs!

I know this picture is blurry but I NEVER want to forget this moment!  Nate got close to the puppy to give him a hug and the puppy reached up and "bi#$% slapped" him.  Nathan laughed almost as much as I did!

Luc and the little orange "titty tat"

VERY important stop after the petting zoo!  HAND SANITIZER!

Nate showing me something...

This little guy was out and about...the boys quite liked him!

So I wish more than anything that this was a video.  The boys took off running and the bird must have taken it as a challenge because he took off running too!  SO FUNNY!

Nathan and one of the baby goats!

And off they went again!

The  boys ran all the way to the edge of the fence and then Nathan had his first public "accident". And after that the wheels kinda fell off...I was carrying a naked bummed Nate, Luc decided he did not want to wear shoes anymore, and Matty decided he didn't want to wait!  It did all work out though :)

and we made it to lunch :)

Me and my three little dudes :) love them SO much!

Me and Mel

The dudes loaded up ready to go home!  Super fun trip!

Meeting the Bunchkins

When we first found out that we were having triplets I did what I think most people would do...I googled it!  My google search came back with a blog that quickly became one of my favorites!  Ami's triplets were born about 5 months before the boys.  When I came across her blog the Bunchkins had just turned one month old.  It was great to get a glimpse into our future, and to see just how much fun was in store for us!

Over the years I feel like Ami and I have become friends...I am sure it sounds crazy, but through emails, blogging, and facebooking it was like we actually knew each other.  We are VERY similar, and living parallel lives...except hers is in a warmer climate :)

Anyways when I went down to phoenix a couple of weeks ago my dad and I drove down to Tucson and we actually got to meet in person!  SO. MUCH. FUN! (Darcy get ready for a triplet mommas trip somewhere...you can't miss the next one :))

Me, Ami, and the Bunchkins!

Slip and Slide

The last couple of days have been SO hot, so yesterday we went on a pool hunt...couldn't find one, so we got a slip and slide instead.  The boys LOVED it!!!  They didn't really slip and slide, but they LOVED running across it!!!  I know that some of these pictures are not totally in focus but they were running so fast...so. much. fun!

And I just had to include this last one because our boys NEVER sit to eat supper...EVER!  So when they plunked down at the table with Lex, I just had to take a picture...and post it so I never forget that there was that one time when they all sat down and ate supper :)

Glitter Pedis

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE GLITTER...and my toes are in a constant state of glitter polish!  When I am doing mine the boys sometimes ask me to do theirs too...so I do.  Today they picked black polish, but then proceeded to wipe it off before it could dry.  After their pedis the boys and I went to lay down and watch a movie.  Luc said he needed his water so off he went.  He took a little longer than usual so I went out to see what was going on and he had picked a new polish, and decided to do it himself.

He was quite pleased with himself...

The finished product...there was also some on his knees :)

Biker Boys

A couple of weeks ago the boys got new bikes.  They were not quite sure how to ride them so they pretty much just walked around on them, which they LOVED!  Today we went over to a friends house, and the boys knew how to ride them.  It didn't take long before the boys caught on and they were riding like crazy!  SO. MUCH. FUN!!!

A little biker attitude from Nate!

Super focused!

  Time to go in for supper.

New kicks!

The boys are super tough...anytime they fall, they are pretty quick to shake it off, get back and hop back on...most of the time!
