She pretty much doesn't lose teeth, she has to have them pulled. To date she has only lost 3 teeth on her own and has had more than that pulled. For some reason the root never dissolves and the adult teeth can't come in.<br />
<br />
I took all the kids to the orthodontist on Monday. They sent us a thank you card with a $5 Starbucks gift card... yes, I predict a lot of money being spent in their office. Kaylee has been in headgear for over a year now and Addison started hers Monday. Poor thing has developed huge canker sores where the braces are in back and she's having more trouble learning to sleep in her new device. In time she will settle into it all...<br />
<br />
Needless to say... she LOVES getting teeth pulled. A little happy gas makes for a happy girl. I told her she can now sing, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"<br />

This year Addison, Jadon and Cody each were able to dress and carry flowers to the feet of the Virgin Mary. They looked adorable!! Kaylee handled not being part of it all very well.... "no big deal" which was really quite a shock and not her personality.<br />

The principal at the kids school is retired military and does an AMAZING job celebrating this day.<br />
<br />
Men in uniform helped work the morning carline. We sang patriotic songs, attended a moving Mass and had a reception. The reception hall was decorated with military gear (including items from my Dad) and they served food along with a slideshow. OUTSTANDING JOB!! I hope the kids appreciate their PawPaw and his service.<br />

The kids had a fantastic birthday. A day or two before the birthday, Addison was raking leaves (for fun) and learned a valuable lesson... not to step on the end of a rake. It came up and whacked her in the head... huge goose egg!! We spend Saturday at Main Event (Jadon & Addison's choice of activities) and Sunday we went roller skating (Kaylee's choice). On Monday, my parents returned from their vacation and we all went to dinner at Mi Rancho.</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">I dreamt I had an interview with God. "Come in," God said. "So, you would like to interview Me?"</span></div>
<div style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">"If you have the time," I said.</span></div>
<div style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">God smiled and said: "My time is eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"</span></div>
<div style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">"What surprises you most about mankind?"</span></div>
<div style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">God answered:</span></div>
<ul style="color: navy;">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">"That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived…"</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">God’s hands took mine and we were silent for a while and then I asked…"As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?"</span></div>
<div style="color: navy;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">God replied with a smile:</span></div>
<ul style="color: navy;">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">"To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn that money can buy everything but happiness.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it totally differently.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about them…and likes them anyway.</span></div>

Then a quick photo session before going over to my parents house for trick or treating. Fortunately, the weather cooperated and a great time was had by all.<br />
<br />
Also... the boys got their haircut this week and Jadon no longer needed the booster seat.... I remember having to hold him down because he was so scared at the barber and now he is such a big boy.... *tears*<br />
<br />
We finished up the evening at Buffalo Wild Wings and fell into bed!!!<br />

I'm not sure where the time went.... I was laying in the bed the other night thinking. Almost near sleep and thinking about when I called my parents to tell them it was triplets and thinking about when they were born and in the NICU. Maybe because I was close to falling asleep, I was able to really recall that time, how I felt and how their little bodies felt.<br />
<br />
Within the last couple of weeks Jadon asked me to buy him underwear w/o characters on them. One of his classmates laughed at his underwear and he said when he goes to 4th grade he will have to change with other boys and wants plain underwear before 4th grade. Oh, the sweet innocence. I went out the next day and bought him plain white underwear... but it made me sad. Cody is still happy to wear his superhero underwear and wears them with pride.<br />
<br />
Mom and Dad are on the other side of the world enjoying a 2 week vacation and they come home today, so over the weekend we celebrated birthdays at Main Event and Roller Skating. Tonight we will eat cake and go out to dinner at Mi Rancho.<br />

They are so young and lack real cheer skills but it's fun and we are enjoying going to games. <br />
<br />
Today was honor roll after Mass. We have noticed a real step in school challenges with the 3rd grade. Jason made one B (a 90) putting him on Academic Honor Roll (all As and no more than 3 Bs) Addison and Kaylee also made Academic Honor Roll and Cody made Principal's Honor Roll (All A's).<br />
<br />
We are struggling a lot with 3rd grade and Addison just can't seem to get her head in the game. Fingers crossed we meet this challenge and 4th grade is smoother.... <br />
<br />
Right now, Jadon and Addison are playing soccer and Cody and Kaylee are playing basketball so our Saturday's are pretty busy. Overall they are doing really great. Better than when they all played soccer a few years ago. Cody is just a natural at sports. Kaylee lacks confidence and size so she is actually playing down a level w/Cody and seems to fit right in. Jadon shocks me... he is soooo into soccer and is actually showing some aggression and hustle. Who is this boy?????<br />

I used to blog ALL THE TIME when they were little and I was home with them everyday, but then they got bigger and life got hectic. I started the photography business, they started school and we seem to be going all the time, but I regret letting this fall off my plate and for them... now that I've seen them enjoying it... I will make this blog a priority. <br />
<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I am starting this blog back up with the loss of Sushi. I want to capture the little things, but I cannot let this big thing pass and not capture it.<br />
<br />
I got Sushi in 2001, before Jerry... before the kids. She was ADORABLE. A year or so later, Jerry and I got together and I got Sake to keep Sushi company. 15 years later....<br />
<br />
Back in June, I took Sushi to the vet with an eye ulcer. It required surgery and that very day it was performed to save her eye. She whimpered and cried for 3 days and had to wear a cone for 3 weeks. At only 5 lbs, we was miserable with the cone. I questioned myself and whether or not I made the right decision. For months, I put drops in her eye several times a day, but noticed her vision going. She already couldn't hear... but I noticed her truly not being able to see. At her next eye exam, we discovered an ulcer in the other eye. A genetic trait and reoccurring. We could have opted for another surgery... but it would only be a temporary fix. <br />
<br />
Sushi was 15. She struggled to get in/out of bed and suffered from a loss of hearing, sight and other afflictions. Another surgery was not in her best interest.<br />
<br />
We spent the weekend with Sushi and on October 5th, I took her to the vet. I held her wrapped in a blanket. She was relaxed and almost asleep when the vet administered the drugs and we let her go. She is buried in a shoebox with a pink blanket and loving notes from the kids in our bluebonnet field and an angel statue to look over her.<br />
<br />
It's been two weeks and my heart still breaks. I knew I loved her, but never imagined how much I would miss her.<br />
<br />

I can't believe we have gone from taking infants in carriers into Church to them now taking communion. It was an emotional event and I pray the kids grow up with a deep faith and understanding. Jerry and I try to set a good example for them... my parents have always said, "our most important job is to help get our loved ones to Heaven." I am sooooo proud of the kids.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Palatino, Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Before I started the business I used to photograph the children ALL THE TIME…. to the point they would run from the camera when it came out, but now it’s usually iPhone pictures of them at events. I’m editing client photos all day every day that the kids portraits have suffered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Palatino, Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I have been wanting to photograph them for a while and we recently finished our 1st shoot. Tomorrow is All Saints Day and the kids will be dressing up as Saints with friends and classmates for an event at the Church…. I was thrilled at their eagerness and enthusiasm for jumping back in front of the camera. They wanted to pose, they took direction and they wanted to do well. As a result, I think we captured some truly phenomenal shots and I can’t wait to photograph them again. I thought they each did an incredible job portraying their saint. This afternoon will be the Halloween costume shoot and soon to follow the Christmas card shoot. What I used to dread, I am now eager about.</div>

In creating the saint costumes…. it totally helped having photography props!!! My red rose crown for Saint Rose of Lima, my shredded muslim skirt for Saint Joan of Arc, the fur vest for Saint John the Baptist, and my red cape for Saint George.</div>

Over the weekend the triplets turned 8…. how did we get here so quickly. I wish we could forward and rewind life. I don't want to relieve all the years, but I wish I could go back for a little while and hold those tiny babies.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We celebrated their birthday (just family) at Main Event and played laser tag (even mamaw and papaw played).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cake requests this year…. Frozen (Addison), Pocahontas (Kaylee) and Lincoln Logs (Jadon)… so here are my creations.</div>

The last time we went Cody had just turned one and the triplets were almost three and in the middle of potty training.<br />
<br />
WOW… Jerry was brilliant… we literally had Sea World to ourselves. We parked right at the entrance had a blast.<br />
<br />
As we pulled up the 1st day (the 1st week of June), Cody lost his 1st tooth!!! WOW!! So the tooth fairy had to find us at San Antonio.<br />
<br />
All Addison wanted to do was ride the BIG roller coaster the Steel Eel, but I wouldn't let her. The next day she was mad at me all day… but we finally rode the Atlantas Express (or something like that), it is a smaller water roller coasted, but still pretty big. I was brave enough to get on with them and the one big "drop" which goes backward… got their attention!!!!!! I could see it on their faces, but while three of them loved it, it scared Addison to death. The rest of the day she thanked me for not letting her ride the Steel Eel. We rode the water roller coaster a couple more time but Addison did not like it and was a bit teary on the last ride.<br />
<br />
It was a great way to start the summer!!<br />

Sooooo much has happened and life became super crazy busy when we purchased a new home and moved yet again February 28th. I had been leasing a photography studio for 2 years and loved the studio, but was looking for a way not to have to pay rent… and we wanted a quiet street and more room for the kids. We found a home that met all our needs. On nearly 2 acres and a huge apartment/studio we took the plunge and moved again and we moved the studio.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It seems every home we buy needs a lot of work and this one was no different. Every inch has been scrubbed, painted, and fixed up in one form or fashion… but now we have a new awesome home and a rent free amazing studio space!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have two beautiful horses next door and tons of room for the kids to play:</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It wasn't long after we moved in that the kids finally learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. We all own bikes now and regularly ride around the neighborhood and over to my parents house…. yep… they are right down the road!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shortly after moving in we also learned we have about a 1/2 acre bluebonnet field… Gorgeous!!!!<br />

On Sunday, Jerry ran the Houston Marathon for the 6th time. The last time he ran it was in 2005, ten years later and having just celebrated his 50th birthday days earlier, he proved he's still got it.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Tuesday, Jadon participated in his first spelling bee. He was one of three chosen from his class to participate which was an accomplishment in and of itself. We studied on and off, but the night before the bee Jadon expressed some concern over potentially not winning…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jerry talked to him about it…. </div>
<div>
"Jadon, you know how I ran the marathon the other day?"</div>
<div>
"Yes"</div>
<div>
"Did I win?"</div>
<div>
"No"</div>
<div>
"Were you still proud of me"</div>
<div>
"Yes"…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the message was received.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jadon did AWESOME in the Bee!!! Each time it was his turn… he walked over to the mic with a bounce in his step and huge smile on his face. He made it to 4th place before missing the word "Misery." He spelled it with an "a". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before the Bee was over every single child misspelled one word. The winner spelled a word wrong, then the second place finisher spelled a word wrong. So they each got another chance…. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jadon walked away very proud of himself… I have to say I walked away a nervous wreck!!!! It was stressful sitting quietly and holding my breath with each letter.</div>

Addison went to the dentist and had two teeth pulled….<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kaylee and Jadon lost their 1st teeth well over a year ago now I'm guessing and have actually lost several teeth at this point. Addison has stood by and watched the tooth fairy visit many times over and has had a GREAT attitude… no jealously or tears to speak of…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A while back her bottom permanent teeth starting coming in behind her baby teeth (same as Kaylee and Jadon), but the baby teeth never fell out or were even that loose.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well… at the semi-annual cleaning the dentist thought it best to pull them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Addison was brave and actually VERY EXCITED!!! When the teeth came out they looked like fangs!!! The roots had not resolved yet… so it was going to be a long time before they might come out on their own. I hope we don't have to have all her teeth pulled based on this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Needless to say, she came through it with flying colors and FINALLY got a personal visit from the tooth fairy.<br />

I took the kids over to the studio the other night with my Mom to try and get some images for the Christmas card.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do you think they were naughty or nice?</div>

Occasionally there are moments in your life that you record into your memory and you replay over and over again….<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last Saturday was one of those moments. Every Saturday we watch the kids play soccer and Cody who is on a team by himself is a little rock star and scores a significant amount of goals for his team. The triplets play together on another team…. they are not the strongest players…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Addison has improved over the season and recently even scored a goal and I was thrilled beyond words, but the other day Jadon made a goal. Jadon has always tried, but just isn't an aggressive or competitive little guy. A few weeks ago however he found a strategic spot where the ball comes to him from time to time and he can take it down field, but he is always overcome by the other team…. but it has built his confidence. On Saturday, he got the ball several times and even started to get in the mix and fight for the ball a little.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, they were getting killed by the other team (they have never won a game), but at the end of the last quarter Jadon and Addison took the ball down field toward the goal, Addison kicked but the goalie stopped it and kicked it back… it went to Jadon… he kicked…. and it WENT IN!!!!!!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
His reaction is etched into my brain!!! He surprised himself and stopped in a moment of disbelief, but when he realized he had actually scored he did a quick fist pump (I guess that's what you'd call it) and he seriously couldn't contain his smile.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The final whistle blew and while we lost the game…. we walked away on top of the world. He walked down the line congratulating the other team with a huge smile…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
but my smile was bigger!!!!</div>

<br />
We ventured out this year with a Peacock Princess, Strawberry Shortcake, The Crypt Keeper and Scary Bones. Strawberry Shortcake (Kaylee) got a run in her tights before leaving the house and we had to contend with the meltdown... but the rest of the evening was perfect!!!<br />

SEVEN!!! This year we had a simple birthday at home with family only. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Friday night we took the kids to Willies for dinner and some playtime in the sand, then Saturday was a day of soccer... some awesome soccer I might add. The kids played their best games ever and lost hoarse from cheering and screaming. I'm sure I was obnoxious!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After soccer we took the kids their favorite restaurant at Mi Rancho then went home to open gifts. We didn't get to bed until late but they didn't mind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cakes this year: Addison (Veterinarian cake), Kaylee (Sophia the 1st) and Jadon (Halloween)</div>
