They had their 2nd birthday on Sept 8. I was gone for their actual birthday traveling for work in Toronto but I think I made it up to them. The night before their birthday we went to Friendlys in Kissimmee for dinner and a ice cream sundae which they LOVED....they just weren't the most patient kids waiting for the ice cream. Then on Sunday we had a birthday party for them. We rented a HUGE bounce house with a slide and an obstacle course. The menu consisted of a nice taco bar, chips & queso, and fruit and hot dogs and macaroni and cheese for the kids. It was themed Mickey & Minnie Mouse and we had a Mickey & Minnie Mouse Cookie Cake! YUMMY :-) The babies had fun on their birthday. Melissa took them to Sears to get pictures taken for their 2nd birthday to suprise Mommy since I was out of town for their actual birthday. Above are some of the pictures we got back - they turned out GREAT!! </div><br /><br /><br /><div>As for 2 year old milestones they are doing great. They are learning more and more each day. They know what a circle and a star is and also an apple. They eat with spoons and are working on potty training. They are starting to develop their vocabulary and tonight Jasmine came into the living room with a big bite of pizza in her mouth. I asked her what she was eating, and as clear as day she said "A bite of Daddy's Pizza" WOW I was impressed :-)</div></div></div></div>Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-53929859141646789662011-08-09T09:57:00.002-04:002011-08-09T10:00:34.852-04:00My little girls....love to play<div align="center">My 4 Things.....still impossible to get everyone to look at the camera - I give up!!</div>

The Cobb Theater shows free movies all summer long for the kids. It's actually a really good idea because you she can teach the little ones to sit nice at the movies at a young age. And if anyone has a melt down they can leave since the movie is free. So - she loads up all 6 kids and heads out - very daring adventure, but if she can't do it nobody can! So - today Mason, Lydia, the triplets, and Collin headed to see Nanny McPhee Returns!!</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirp_xHKIP6njvZ-XP7d3s19EpGJxmrRxyWPklMUCGlUi1fTS5-N6P2Sryalkf7v-qUgEW1ssRxmsPpuVSq4YYgce0vzlKMQyyz34uNd9njuqyIx0lPDjZP9UL7l0bjjZ2VepZ-tS1pJnk/s1600/6+kids+at+the+movies.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623286613681330594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirp_xHKIP6njvZ-XP7d3s19EpGJxmrRxyWPklMUCGlUi1fTS5-N6P2Sryalkf7v-qUgEW1ssRxmsPpuVSq4YYgce0vzlKMQyyz34uNd9njuqyIx0lPDjZP9UL7l0bjjZ2VepZ-tS1pJnk/s320/6+kids+at+the+movies.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-60290612841653378892011-06-23T14:50:00.010-04:002011-06-23T15:43:22.436-04:00Finally pictures....and a promise to blog more often<div align="left">Ok ..... going to try to blog more often I promise. All has been well here, been very busy as usual! Melissa & Lydia moved out of our house the beginning of June to a cute apartment close by. It has been weird having them gone and we miss them, but both families also are enjoying having more space :-) The great news is that she is now our private nanny! She comes each morning by 7:30 and watches my kids and one other little boy who is 2, Collin. She has watched him as one of the day care kids and he's just a sweet little boy. She is loving only watching the 4 little ones instead of the entire day care clan and my kids are loving it as well because they get to go out and do thing almost every day. So far they have been to the movies, the zoo in Tampa, the park, and the children's museum in Lakeland which they really liked. They are also able to go out for lunch or the occasional dinner if I am running late from work. That brings me to another update. I was given a promotion at work and as of May 2nd, I am now the transportation supervisor. My boss Chet left to pursue other opportunities. So far so good - I am enjoying the new challenge. It involves more work and more hours, but I also get to travel a bit here and there and am feeling more challenged.</div><br /><div align="left">This past weekend I was in WI for a long weekend. Mason, Tanner, & I flew in on Thursday morning. Tanner and I stayed until Sunday night and Mason is still there! He stayed with my parents till Thursday and is now at Grandma & Grandpa Gorkas until Saturday when he will fly back with Grandma who is coming for a short visit. He has been having fun. Went to the park, to a movie, and fishing with Grandpa & Uncle Shawn. That was by far his favorite thing! He told me last night he caught 3 "keepers" hehe.<br /></div><br /><div align="left">That is about good for now I think. The triplets are doing great - into EVERYTHING though - always looking for trouble it seems. Have to keep all the bedroom doors locked and gate up in ktichen to keep tabs on them. It's tons of fun though!<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8szv5z9eHVW4YtUszB_ZWG6XjBsZb4tjngY9ugRhv7818fknig3jZVYAiFUiphYDgmCC7X8hacKoFzeQu9RqegeIjetwR9Ki6g0BPC31vkt-FkhIpWPxXd7kY-mEIIBkupDf7JgKfRMU/s1600/Mickey+Says+hi.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621500541440867442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8szv5z9eHVW4YtUszB_ZWG6XjBsZb4tjngY9ugRhv7818fknig3jZVYAiFUiphYDgmCC7X8hacKoFzeQu9RqegeIjetwR9Ki6g0BPC31vkt-FkhIpWPxXd7kY-mEIIBkupDf7JgKfRMU/s320/Mickey+Says+hi.JPG" border="0" /></a>Mason & Ava @ Chef Mickey's!!

He got to go spend the day at the beach with my friend Tiffany. She loves our babies and enjoys taking one or two of them for a fun little outing and I don't mind the break at all. The babies enjoy the extra attention and it's good for them. On Saturday Allie went with her to a baby shower at a park and also had a good time. Jasmine's day is Friday and she's going to go spend the night at her house along with Mason. I don't know what I'll do with only 2 babies on Friday night. Dave's friend Steve is in town so they will be out and about the rest of the week. Dave deserves to have a nice fun weekend though - he's been working hard lately. I'm sure they will have fun. Sorry random blog today, but it's all I have time for right now. Here are some pictures of Tanner at the beach and a video of him having fun! Oh and by the way - TANNER IS WALKING WELL NOW!!!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2-DrZLV8FxsvEBgpPEFvgPeVwCRlZcpP0BngT7QJ3Q3QkdUnZsyChylnAmgI4n4XvnT-n9AVOCgJ1CEuNHaxHHQRXtFzIA84IBxpZfKzzhqACDBzEeAxqPbuZJl0H-unFlOEaOOZeM4/s1600/Tanner+Beach+3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584685809488028210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2-DrZLV8FxsvEBgpPEFvgPeVwCRlZcpP0BngT7QJ3Q3QkdUnZsyChylnAmgI4n4XvnT-n9AVOCgJ1CEuNHaxHHQRXtFzIA84IBxpZfKzzhqACDBzEeAxqPbuZJl0H-unFlOEaOOZeM4/s320/Tanner+Beach+3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584685799862805938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGLorndXvVTfytYV2_ZbGHYMozfFHZUNhGWASZfYc9It45cBR6ConCw5bn76dhrLmBW87XyLRpV5rwu1ObzQBfuWVRG6VUbdIAbo9D8BbH04wFiXySQF7rmIuOxhJGx7meTnqbM9XnSEk/s320/Tanner+Beach+2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYocj-QecIChs3Kljuk3qqqDb1b70QS55wps_4p09P2LuZcDyYju-9T9JGIkmFYGcSqd7Bfp9tcd6aaYB7mLiantjCp_J9Z4KYZBN86f4ipKp_rDr82Qa_Js8JYH6lF85bBSePky8nJE0/s1600/Tanner+Beach+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584685795471746770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYocj-QecIChs3Kljuk3qqqDb1b70QS55wps_4p09P2LuZcDyYju-9T9JGIkmFYGcSqd7Bfp9tcd6aaYB7mLiantjCp_J9Z4KYZBN86f4ipKp_rDr82Qa_Js8JYH6lF85bBSePky8nJE0/s320/Tanner+Beach+1.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div></div><br /><p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwpS29zeT7v_EvgnKr8IT_yDJjCWbyw51Pf6DPGVW8A5jXj64y7fDE6vXdZvmQYS2zBLQ-VbAQsJriNNIuF7g' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-3274319474601561572011-03-08T11:08:00.005-05:002011-03-08T11:24:06.007-05:00More Disney Pictures<div align="center">Below are a few more pictures from Disney World.

We started off the day at Animal Kingdom and rode the safari ride which was VERY COOL, then the girls and I rode Everest which was a bit scary, but still cool. I'm just not a big roller coaster fan and this darn thing went backwards at one point which I DIDN'T know was going to happen! After Animal Kingdom we went to Hollywood Studios, rode Tower of Terror and the Toy Story Carnival ride which was really neat, Mason loved that one. After Hollywood Studios we headed to the Magic Kingdom, Mason's favorite park. He rode Splash Mountain (which we got stuck on for over 30 minutes) and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. He loved both and was JUST over 40 inches and able to ride so he was excited. We shopped at the stores, saw the fireworks and the light parade and finally headed home about 9:30. Mason fell sound asleep in the stroller at 8:50 - he was TIRED. Here are a few pics from our day - sorry quality not great they were taken on my phone.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuity0cwdOiUMRod9sbkZdDoDCmucsU2JwxYiz-qeZ9MR4-grEU7ByE3fN1gVhAed-yZ1bzuFhcUItOnTz1p1z-BGTVzV8PkblCWoPxJteB4NF2EgkNQamAOGn9dNDLByTVswOtAvIxbM/s1600/Mason+Mickey.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576589961069152994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuity0cwdOiUMRod9sbkZdDoDCmucsU2JwxYiz-qeZ9MR4-grEU7ByE3fN1gVhAed-yZ1bzuFhcUItOnTz1p1z-BGTVzV8PkblCWoPxJteB4NF2EgkNQamAOGn9dNDLByTVswOtAvIxbM/s320/Mason+Mickey.JPG" border="0" /></a> Mason & all his Mickey stuff Pam bought him - what a lucky boy!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjafLKdOmRxCsTmmio2U0jOg_YaUmGV2AkuIlXAa9u2zYUjaWnmHYJ1_HiyUW-BtSdiFdoO0_Ei6a1Vr4G7aIjop56GJb-baW7wrvGJrezrNj0d-jN3dXN4fPQ3SoCa6-IicCAoT-h5uic/s1600/Mason+Asleep.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576589470265426018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjafLKdOmRxCsTmmio2U0jOg_YaUmGV2AkuIlXAa9u2zYUjaWnmHYJ1_HiyUW-BtSdiFdoO0_Ei6a1Vr4G7aIjop56GJb-baW7wrvGJrezrNj0d-jN3dXN4fPQ3SoCa6-IicCAoT-h5uic/s320/Mason+Asleep.JPG" border="0" /></a>SOUND ASLEEP - rough day<br /><br /><div align="left">Also this past Thursday we met Dave's sister Chris & brother in law Scott and our nephew Josh at Universal Studios at Nascar Grille for dinner.

Melissa offered to take her in her room with her and let her rest by her and of course the little peanut went right to sleep and stayed their all night. Well when Melissa's alarm went off at 6:30 Allie figured it was time to get up too. So Melissa put her in the living room on this chair to watch Barney. The babies LOVE LOVE LOVE Barney - it's super cute! And made for a cute picture this cloudy, cold Friday AM. Here you go!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572510733408832882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaLXTz03mH1YPzRyVBwt7Xg4J275PrRsaQ59TJDs0OAn0e6-05t14m5wACJkpnAWUmU4l_knTMJmMW1hwIANrpaLzLJU1FAL37iMtgUZUxx7_gDk-5WZv9k8IjJeJlXUBFOrqxIQN01B8/s320/Allie+Barney.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div>Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-51385862065244896302011-02-02T13:03:00.002-05:002011-02-02T13:13:22.154-05:00Missing when my babies were sooooo little!I have been in this weird mood the past few weeks and am missing when my babies were soooo little! I do LOVE that they are growing up and doing so well, but I miss the little soft heads when they were first born, the small little cries, groans, coos, toothless grins, etc. Knowing that I am now having anymore babies is a bit sad sometimes. This past 17 months has just flown by and I feel I have missed some things - even though of course I haven't. So today I looked in the memory book and am posting some itty bitty pictures of my babes!<br /><br />Oh and....I have met my 10 lb milestone! I have lost 10.8 lbs as of this morning! WAHOO :-) <br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCsBCWDwsRPPeIcRUNlllfO2uC9w-m4luDpOr-x9TX1uoV1xpxJAnJRWAu1SPYCDeuFo4Nvt3pZ8wZRefEv63GazXx9gPKFZ5FEdeZI4Wzop7qH09n4MXiQbnjiCwV3x45VEt5nI5KkpI/s1600/Babies+NICU"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569155014029281346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCsBCWDwsRPPeIcRUNlllfO2uC9w-m4luDpOr-x9TX1uoV1xpxJAnJRWAu1SPYCDeuFo4Nvt3pZ8wZRefEv63GazXx9gPKFZ5FEdeZI4Wzop7qH09n4MXiQbnjiCwV3x45VEt5nI5KkpI/s320/Babies+NICU" border="0" /></a>First picture of all 3 babies together<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp2mhJWvH1rcHFT4fLmNWOuQ3oAu532Mve7ALSqzjV7q6Ah98NZaar4XCD3ZU86ny3aON7flaX4YOxWYJU-6m3R9KSOLE-ZcUCJ1RKXwQGsU3e0vXgVKwD8_K43Q4R-K1eln9bwElakF0/s1600/Little+Girls+NICU"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569155007958375682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp2mhJWvH1rcHFT4fLmNWOuQ3oAu532Mve7ALSqzjV7q6Ah98NZaar4XCD3ZU86ny3aON7flaX4YOxWYJU-6m3R9KSOLE-ZcUCJ1RKXwQGsU3e0vXgVKwD8_K43Q4R-K1eln9bwElakF0/s320/Little+Girls+NICU" border="0" /></a> Mommy's Little Girls<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVjNhulNjOQtTlGFVr5Nw23BR5cygmXszaqhFFG7c6IE0Btn12OZEqOoN-EnuiptiNwNUv9Gd6anFsvie7T7jtgM7wDt9Ebu7jgW_CeN0y8tqJrBy6yXxXqQ6Q9WJhMxz3SOVNxH5F7I/s1600/Tanner+NICU"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569155002110035410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVjNhulNjOQtTlGFVr5Nw23BR5cygmXszaqhFFG7c6IE0Btn12OZEqOoN-EnuiptiNwNUv9Gd6anFsvie7T7jtgM7wDt9Ebu7jgW_CeN0y8tqJrBy6yXxXqQ6Q9WJhMxz3SOVNxH5F7I/s320/Tanner+NICU" border="0" /></a>Tanner snoozing - so small<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiDJlBLZvCz6f5EKxZdDiAU3AivRJMhSUlSNcF6_xL-XALlBcl_2DzG0fzARN_pNbyqC9p9oZo9jcEGd9rGsKYDgFFtJb1Tunn9_2gF1gSEEcf-19pSFOjXPpc0DTzWSZDVCwAIBVN0dc/s1600/Jasmine+NICU"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569154996733243298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiDJlBLZvCz6f5EKxZdDiAU3AivRJMhSUlSNcF6_xL-XALlBcl_2DzG0fzARN_pNbyqC9p9oZo9jcEGd9rGsKYDgFFtJb1Tunn9_2gF1gSEEcf-19pSFOjXPpc0DTzWSZDVCwAIBVN0dc/s320/Jasmine+NICU" border="0" /></a>A sleepy Jasmine<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmqq8Wqd2UFSGFT58yrRNJqR-mpIQjh_ZgPMVlad0ahA3ud8v4Go4tLf8Yoh9-hmU17-GLtUaOyvzbDdOMZ4SAMfEJUJFRpSUVIEU-hq1aVBkNloVpakY98k6UVXFUtCBfiLfJx0EdhzE/s1600/Allie+Nicu"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569154722285158930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmqq8Wqd2UFSGFT58yrRNJqR-mpIQjh_ZgPMVlad0ahA3ud8v4Go4tLf8Yoh9-hmU17-GLtUaOyvzbDdOMZ4SAMfEJUJFRpSUVIEU-hq1aVBkNloVpakY98k6UVXFUtCBfiLfJx0EdhzE/s320/Allie+Nicu" border="0" /></a> Little Allie - look how big that BINKY is - and that stuffed animal is now not even as long as her arm!</div></div><br /></div>Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-3731809917433781642011-01-31T10:17:00.009-05:002011-01-31T10:36:06.470-05:00The Wild Man Strikes Again aka TannerWell here is a small Monday post of my lovely Tanner the Wild Man.

It was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">sooo</span> nice out! Saturday Dave and I cleaned most of the day and Mason & Lydia played outside in the morning. It was just a nice day. Then Saturday night Anita and Ron came for dinner to our house. We enjoyed the company and I think they enjoyed the little ones! Allie really like Anita - it was super cute! </div><div></div><div></div><br /><div>Yesterday we hung out most of the day at home and after nap we went to the park in downtown <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Lakeland</span>. They just redid it and it was very nice - the kids really enjoyed it and the weather was just great. After the park, we took the kids to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">BD's</span> Mongolian Grill for dinner and of course they ate like pigs, they are such good eaters. It is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">soooo</span> nice having Dave home now - I am thrilled he is back at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Brighthouse</span> and not on the road anymore it is just great!</div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>We are also in the process of planning our summer vacation. We are going to rent a cabin for a week in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Gatlinburg</span> TN and enjoy the Smoky Mountains. We are so excited. We are going to bring Tara along for the week as well to help with the kids and then Dave and I are going to be able to go off on our own at night. It will be AWESOME!</div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>On a final note - I have officially lost 8.4 lbs.

It's been a tough go at night and had some fussy times going to bed, but Mommy has prevailed and last night we had minimal crying at night!! Although Tanner & Allison have pacifiers at night at least we don't have bottles! And I'm not going back, I forgot how nice it was not to make bottles up anymore and wash all the nipples and everything. We are using only sippy cups and they are doing just fine with them.<br /><br />I also am continuing my biggest loser at work - so far I am up to 7.4 lbs lost. Again not as much as I had hoped for but it's slowly coming off and I am sticking with it. Been going to the gym 2 to 3 nights a week to do hour long exercise classes. I really enjoy it and feel good after. I also am using this free website called myfitnesspal.com and it's great and actually some of the things are kind of like facebook. You log all your food, it gives you a calorie goal for the day, you enter the number of cups of water you drink, you get extra calories for exercise etc., and it tracks your weight loss. Try it out and if you do my username is stgorka so you can find me as a friend.<br /><br />Oh and although Tanner can't walk too well yet (he's trying though) he is a crazy climber. Check out the picture below! And people wonder why he has bruises!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaCsY6VMr-N77LfJvzanVEeNYwIJnku35Zzlb2hyf7GEd4kcI013fs7vsUVxNYet8rqv7wRqstWR_oZeGlhPU3mA6rQTh3ZY3H1Db-c8-uFmln3a7HAV04mt6uaZNOsDvpUHrvq25soTE/s1600/Tanner+the+Climber.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566610866898820994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaCsY6VMr-N77LfJvzanVEeNYwIJnku35Zzlb2hyf7GEd4kcI013fs7vsUVxNYet8rqv7wRqstWR_oZeGlhPU3mA6rQTh3ZY3H1Db-c8-uFmln3a7HAV04mt6uaZNOsDvpUHrvq25soTE/s320/Tanner+the+Climber.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p>And here is the picture of the day - Melissa sent me this yesterday AM gotta love the morning hair on Miss Allison. </p><p></p><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkM4ddBtF-PZvq8vWRwTdPESDOC6xlZiRHfR_l5CdOEGrDjDk_pFbxdE_gdZYIfnGCfFPXzgPijXiPb8mdQNzkG6bGxYDOj9OfjEIkLF5nixjxrpK0swk910JAZMErYaXQtB40g7Rp7Hk/s1600/Morning+Hair.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566506125063252466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkM4ddBtF-PZvq8vWRwTdPESDOC6xlZiRHfR_l5CdOEGrDjDk_pFbxdE_gdZYIfnGCfFPXzgPijXiPb8mdQNzkG6bGxYDOj9OfjEIkLF5nixjxrpK0swk910JAZMErYaXQtB40g7Rp7Hk/s320/Morning+Hair.jpg" border="0" /></a>Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-52048808067847534482011-01-20T10:15:00.003-05:002011-01-20T10:22:13.884-05:00Sniff SniffOkay so we reached a new milestone last night. One that I have mixed feelings about. Last night the babies went to bed without bottles!! We took bottles away at nap about 2 or 3 weeks ago and they did pretty well with the transition. Well I decided that last night was the night to give them a sippy cup at bed instead of a bottle. Well....you could say they were not too pleased....but overall they actually did pretty well. Jasmine drank her cup - Tanner and Allie didn't but decided to scream for awhile instead. I put them down about 8:10 and by 8:44 everyone was quiet and asleep so 34 minutes. And at about 8:34 only one of the girls was still fighting it, I think it was Allison, but I'm not 100% sure their cries sound so much alike!<br /><br />On the other hand, Mom had a bit of a harder time with it. Inside I was pretty sad knowing that my babies are really no longer babies anymore. They have entered the "toddler world" and I am having a hard time wtih this. They have just grown up WAY to fast! Since they turned a year it seems like the last 4 months have literally just flown by and they have reached milestone after milestone between the blink of my eye. I didn't have these feelings with Mason since I knew we would be having another baby, but since we had the triplets we will no longer be having anymore babies and taking away the bottles, the last of the baby stage, was a little sad. But - when I am able to get rid of diapers I will be rejoicing - definitely won't be sad.<br /><br />On another note - I will be 30 in exactly 6 MONTHS!! Yesterday was my 1/2 birthday, so I officially closer to 30 than 29! AHHHHH<br /><br />Oh one more thing!! TANNER TOOK STEPS LAST NIGHT! Quite a few actually. I think he will be walking officially in 2 weeks or less!<br /><br />Ok that's about it for now - I wish everyone well and pray that Mom can keep the bottles away in the garage LOL!Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-34978086808565478252011-01-19T11:40:00.003-05:002011-01-19T11:43:50.697-05:00Our newest Addition<div align="center">Ok I just realized I haven't posted any new pictures of our newest addition Jessie.

I am officially down 5.2 lbs. Not as much as I wanted, but I am still happy that I have lost some weight. If I can lose 5 lbs every 2 weeks overall I'd be happy. We now have a family membership at the YMCA and I have been working out 3-4 times a week which I am actually enjoying. I am doing Zumba class and this week I am going to try the kickboxing class - should be fun. I have done kickboxing before in college and had a good time with it, so I am excited.<br /><br />Also - our little Tanman is still NOT walking! He gets very frustrated when we make him try to walk. I just don't get it - he's got the strength to do it he just doesn't have the confidence. The babies are now 16 months old, 14 months adjusted age. Allie has been walking for almost 3 months, Jasmine for 2 months, COME ON TANNER!! Your time has come :-)<br /><br />Below are some LONG PAST DUE pictures! Some are from Mason's birthday and the others from the holidays. I have another goal this year - to take MORE pictures. I have been slacking lately and NEED to get better about that!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMFMb43HdpQLWUQ2gtb90yxOPhsft-ClNgcDrlPNHZBPUkF6VRS01Itc5QcumuQDiD6TbeEvbW2-1b7m6CaLMmXakhL16NL3nASiOLiYf7eWiGpesvWC-b9q_jC-OKkBicGZ7Cf8KQ01c/s1600/Waiting+on+Santa.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563216614297460194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMFMb43HdpQLWUQ2gtb90yxOPhsft-ClNgcDrlPNHZBPUkF6VRS01Itc5QcumuQDiD6TbeEvbW2-1b7m6CaLMmXakhL16NL3nASiOLiYf7eWiGpesvWC-b9q_jC-OKkBicGZ7Cf8KQ01c/s320/Waiting+on+Santa.bmp" border="0" /></a> Waiting to see Santa!!

I hope 2011 brings great things for everyone. We have been doing well here in FL. Our family had a great Christmas and are now off and running on 2011 and hoping this year brings great things to our family as well. 2010 was an up and down year for us and I am hoping for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">better</span> things in 2011. <br /><br />So - first off our Christmas was a good one. My parents flew in on December 21st and stayed till the 27<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span>. It was a nice visit and great to see them. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Unfortunately</span>, my Mom had a decent cold that kind of brought her down, but she still had fun and enjoyed seeing the kiddos. Christmas morning brought lots of gifts for the kids under the tree. It was fun seeing them open them and the excitement on their faces - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ahhh</span> the magic of Christmas. I think Christmas will be an awesome time in our family for awhile with all the kiddos!<br /><br />On December 24<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> my little boy Mason turned 4!! I can't believe he is 4 already. Time FLIES. We had his birthday party on Dec 10<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">th</span> at Backyard Adventures and it was truly a SUCCESS. He had his 4 year old check-up on Tuesday and he is healthy as a horse HA HA. He weighs 39 lbs and is 41 inches tall. Puts him in 70% for weight and 60% for height. He did great identifying colors, letters, and shapes for the doctor and answered all her questions perfectly!<br /><br />So - here are the plans and goals for 2011 that we have planned.<br /><br />#1) Grow Dave's business and obtain more steady customers. He had a rough November and December, but that is always the slow time for many businesses so we are hoping January has more work! It's tough when you are self-employed when jobs are down, but we have good things on the horizon so we are hoping for the best.<br /><br />#2) Lose WEIGHT! Dave & I are both on a diet and are really going to try to stick with it. My company is having a "Biggest Loser" competition at work which helps with motivation. The girls in my office are participating as well so lunch is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">soooo</span> much easier with less temptation! We weighed in on Monday AM and so far I'm down 5 lbs <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">WAHOO</span>!<br /><br />#3) Exercise! We upped Mason's Y membership to a family membership. Tonight Dave is going to use the machines and Melissa and I are going to try <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Zumba</span> class. And yes - I will be the one in the back row hoping to not look like a fool! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">haha</span>. I'm excited though. And the nice thing about the YMCA is they have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">kid care</span> for free while you work out! So Dave & I can both go and not have to hire a babysitter - BONUS! <br /><br />#4) Get Tanner to WALK! Hopefully this one will be accomplished in the next 2 months. He has the strength to do it, but I believe lacks confidence to take those first steps. We have been working hard on this. People have to remember though - that we did have triplets who were 8 weeks EARLY. Development issues may pop up here and there for the babies, we just work on them, and hopefully conquer them one by one! If he doesn't walk in a month or so - we will have to have Early Steps come and do some therapy with him, but let's hope that it won't come down to that.<br /><br />I guess that's about it for now - I will post some pictures soon! I promise. Everyone is growing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">SOOO</span> fast!Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-23225132622062462402010-12-13T21:55:00.002-05:002010-12-13T22:18:17.685-05:00An Attempt to Update - Finally<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span> I again have been a BLOG slacker! I apologize to all my readers if I have anyone left! So I will attempt today to update you on all our new milestones and what we have been up to. First off Mason is now almost 4 years old - his birthday is on Christmas Eve so we decided this year to have his first real birthday party somewhere other than our house and several weeks before his birthday so his birthday and Christmas wouldn't run together this year. It was this past Friday night and it was truly a success! We had about 35-40 people there with kids and adults and we had it at Backyard Adventures. Backyard Adventures is a large party place with tons of inflatables in it including a HUGE inflatable slide. They also have a really neat gated play area for the little kids under 5. He had a great party, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">enjoyed</span> all his guests, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">received </span>lots of presents! He still has yet to play <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">with </span>them all - but I'm sure he will have them all open soon.<br /><br />As for the babies I think the easiest way to update is a top 10 list.<br /><br />#1 Allison, & Jasmine are now excellent walkers - have been for awhile. Tanner isn't walking yet and I'm getting a "little" concerned but I do have to keep reminding myself #1 he is a boy and #2 he is a 32 week preemie. He may just meet milestones slower than the girls <br />#2 We are working on getting our 1 year old molars and boy that has been fun! YEAH RIGHT! we have had some cranky babies, especially in Wisconsin over Thanksgiving.<br />#3 Tanner now is in charge of waking the girls up when he is done napping. He does this by turning on the light, opening the door, and yelling HEY!!! It's fairly cute, but not if the girls are still tired. He is in the crib by the light and the door and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">unfortunately</span>, when you have 3 cribs in one room you can't just choose to move him somewhere else because somewhere else doesn't exist. <br />#4 Our vocabulary exists of Mama, Dada, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Baba</span> (bottle), and other words we really can't quite figure out. <br />#5 They make the CUTEST <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">kissy</span> faces. Usually followed by a "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">mawaaa</span>" That is a kissing noise. <br />#6 We all can wave bye bye and can put our hands in the air and do the "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">sooooo</span> big" wave. And yes it looks like a wave when you have 3 of them doing it at once in the feeding table.<br />#7 We are officially FL babies. They did NOT like the cold up north in Wisconsin. When it hit their faces as we went outside the girls gasped for air, tried to cry, but couldn't because it was too cold. <br />#8 We also don't like big thick jackets or hats. They look very uncomfortable in them and fuss. And Mom has learned that FL babies are WAY easier to dress and put in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">car seats</span> then WI babies. I don't think I could dress them in big coats, hats, and gloves everyday for 100 days or however long winter lasts. 4 kids are just too many to bundle!<br /><br />Okay I'm ending on top 8 list today because I have ran out of new things the babes have done.<br /><br />This week is a LONG week. Dave left early Saturday AM for a long trip. He went to Mobile, AL, then to Lancaster, OH, then to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Elkhart</span>, IN, currently on his way to NM, then to LA, back to AL, up to OH again and then finally home. I am staying positive he will be home by the weekend - I hope!!! It's boring when he's not around to annoy me and keep me company. And the bed is too cold since it's been like 20 or 30 every night in FL for the past 3 weeks! Not liking that. I oftentimes tell Mason to come sleep with Mommy so I'm not all alone :-) There is nothing wrong with that right?<br /><br />That's it for now - I will try and post some pictures later this week. But my next mission is to get my Christmas cards done. The Christmas picture is taken now just to make and send the cards.

Time is flying. Not too much to report on today, but will try to give a few updates. <br /><br />1st things first - Allison is WALKING and walking really well. She doesn't crawl anymore, prefers to walk 100%. Jasmine isn't too far behind her yet, but still hasn't gotten the confidence yet to take more than 2 or 3 steps. Tanner will probably walk in a month or so - he's usually 3-4 weeks behind the girls. We are hoping Jasmine is walking by Thanksgiving because maybe they can walk themselves on the plane to Wisconsin! That would help greatly to not have to carry them all. They are getting BIG. <br /><br />We had a great Halloween weekend. Dave was home all weekend so that was really nice! Friday night we just hung out at home, Saturday we went to Mason's soccer game, and then Dave watched the kids and I went to the mall by myself for awhile which was really nice. Saturday night we went out for a few drinks and to see all the Halloween costumes. Relaxed on Sunday then went trick or treating with the kids!! They were all so cute. Mason was a pirate, the girls were Belle, and Tanner was Rex from Toy Story 3. ADORABLE - pictures to come. <br /><br />Other than that not much else going on. We are getting excited for our trip to Wisconsin with the entire family for Thanksgiving.Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-68342411460507789942010-10-21T20:12:00.003-04:002010-10-21T20:50:26.290-04:00Blog from 35,000 ft aboveWell I am actually getting a few minutes to update my blog. And I'm doing it from 35,000 ft above sea level. Mason & I are on the way to Wisconsin for my friend Jessica's wedding. We are very excited it will be a lot of fun. I got suckered into the $4.95 internet cost on the airplane, really not that bad to entertain yourself for 2 hours. Cheaper than a movie haha. Mason is busy putting stickers on his coloring book and coloring pictures for Grandma & Grandpa. Dad will be picking us up in Milwaukee, he has been on the road for a week and a half working and we MISS HIM!! He is very excited to see us too and his little Mason. Unfortanately, we had to leave the triplets at home this trip, but we are all coming for Thanksgiving!!<br /><br />Tomorrow we have big plans for Mason. We are going to go to a pumpkin patch, petting zoo, on a hay ride, and a country restaurant for lunch. Then we are going to bring pumpkins home to carve. Friday night we are going out for a good ole Wisconsin Fish fry then out for a few beers with my parents and maybe hit up the Oneida casino for a bit with my parents, my Mom loves those slot machines. Then Saturday we head to Milwaukee for Jessica's big day and are staying at the hotel - Mason is excited to swim.<br /><br />As for other update - our little baby Allison is walking. Yep officially all across the room. It's so cute!! Jasmine & Tanner are not quite there yet but they will be soon I bet.<br /><br />We spent last Saturday night at Dawn & Ava's house and the babies did great. They slept very well there, I was impressed. On Sunday we went to the park for awhile with them, it was a gorgeous day!<br /><br />Below are some new pictures I wanted to share.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUtX606ghKSbHwTzIbsbIRPEeYeBe5o8FaLMxVz9f9KT-7Sn_iMBqW7afjbDFIz7rkbQBhOd5FM0IYu_fnNHxNmwI51HrVqJ_SOHFC6rOUSUJIk-ig-6nq5zyhIZgOYvKxy-DttxMWYQ/s1600/Mason+Ducks+2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530665224238005810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUtX606ghKSbHwTzIbsbIRPEeYeBe5o8FaLMxVz9f9KT-7Sn_iMBqW7afjbDFIz7rkbQBhOd5FM0IYu_fnNHxNmwI51HrVqJ_SOHFC6rOUSUJIk-ig-6nq5zyhIZgOYvKxy-DttxMWYQ/s320/Mason+Ducks+2.jpg" /></a> Mason feeding the ducks<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimkYiuD2l6mPAwnIhlEmBAELpMEf2sQ0xZmgLNurN0j8e_tSX53-670v9DHRAQwCCPWqlhDwyrQmVXSkCW5mGNURTgFWwYFq2A_y-SNnw03nY02nlLHcSN8tJtsHG6STGnP7LRU3Uvl-s/s1600/Kids+in+Wagon.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530665222120673090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimkYiuD2l6mPAwnIhlEmBAELpMEf2sQ0xZmgLNurN0j8e_tSX53-670v9DHRAQwCCPWqlhDwyrQmVXSkCW5mGNURTgFWwYFq2A_y-SNnw03nY02nlLHcSN8tJtsHG6STGnP7LRU3Uvl-s/s320/Kids+in+Wagon.jpg" /></a> 6 kids in the triplets new wagon which they LOVE by the way.

First off Dave & I had a WONDERFUL time on our cruise. It was so nice to get away and have some fun together and just sit back and relax and truly remember how blessed we are. We have each other and 4 beautiful children. Yes life can be crazy and hectic at times, but I wouldn't change a thing, we are all happy and healthy and all together.<br /><br />Dave, Mason, & I had a good trip up to Wisconsin in September as well. It was a tough trip considering we were there to say our final goodbyes to our Dear Brother in Law Matt, but at the same time it was very nice to be with family and see everyone and spend the weekend together. I spent a lot of time with my nieces and nephews whom we don't get to see enough living in FL. The weather was beautiful and fall was just starting to settle in when we were there. The leaves were beginning to change and the air just a bit cool and crisp. Perfect. The day of the funeral was just gorgeous - blue and sunny skies, about 70 degrees, with a slight breeze. I think Matt had something to do with that and it helped keep everyones spirits up rather than a dreary rainy sad day. It was a very nice funeral and we celebrated his life that day and the wonderful person he was. Rest in Peace Matt - we all love you.<br /><br />Now that we are back from Wisconsin and back from our cruise life is starting to settle down a bit which has been nice. Been able to spend more time with my kids and giving them extra hugs and kisses each and every day. As for kiddo updates we have the following.<br /><br />#1) Miss Allie is taking about 5 steps ALL BY HERSELF - I don't know if you can consider this walking, but I would say she's pretty darn close. Before we know it she will be running.<br />#2) Tanner says GO, and No No No. Very cute - he has a sweet little voice.<br />#3) Every time you smile at Jasmine she gives you the cutest cheesiest grin - such a happy little girl.<br />#4) They all say MaMa and DaDa - LOVE IT!<br />#5) Mason started soccer last week, seriously adorable. Watching a bunch of 3-5 year olds trying to play soccer is too funny!! I am going to try to take a video one of these days - you will enjoy it. #6) Mason is still enjoying preschool and is getting better at tracing lines and letters and coloring. He loves to go each day and is having fun with it and his friends.<br />#7) For Halloween we are going to have a Pirate named Captain Hoy (Mason), 2 ballerinas, and a monkey (Tanner).<br /><br />As for weekend plans, Saturday we have soccer and we are heading to a Fall Festival with a Pumpkin Patch, face painters, and a craft show. I am going with another triplet Mom I know - should be fun, we will be quite the spectacle though. Also, Rich & Ella are coming to visit Dawn and Ava on Saturday so we are going to head to the Bell's on Saturday night or Sunday AM to spend some time with everyone. Ella is our goddaughter - she's a little sweetie.<br /><br />Next weekend we are heading back to Wisconsin for my childhood friends wedding in Milwaukee. We are bringing Mason and on Friday we are going to go to a Pumpkin Patch with a corn maze, a petting zoo, haystacks, games, and a cute little restaurant. Then we will come home and carve some pumpkins. Can't wait!! We are also very excited that the fall leaves will be at peak!! I will take lots of pictures. I miss fall so much in Florida. Sad I can't bring my babies, but it's tough and expensive to travel with all 6. We are bringing everyone for Thanksgiving though - can't wait.<br /><br />Okay this quick post turned out to be long so I'll be signing off now. Hope everyone is doing well!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik43MR749xa079evHy7rQnyA7bEUms0xnOb5FkuQwHELxb2bx_5y-ZyLBg7Q8PfHIxQEbNnEkvMPYqbWZ8FMFuAhZjASJBzK8lAsVlz221Y3Q8JS08Z_F5OaQpGAN61r1zEuphACjQuKI/s1600/Mason+Soccer.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527224689473342706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik43MR749xa079evHy7rQnyA7bEUms0xnOb5FkuQwHELxb2bx_5y-ZyLBg7Q8PfHIxQEbNnEkvMPYqbWZ8FMFuAhZjASJBzK8lAsVlz221Y3Q8JS08Z_F5OaQpGAN61r1zEuphACjQuKI/s320/Mason+Soccer.jpg" border="0" /></a> Our little soccer player<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0U-E3vGIaXrGpA1bO1FmyL1BbsUENkp0hMeUUvvoLi6t-JPmYfMUt6KsqmgPWwPRVkfZZn57uuIc01BK9gYGySpT1X3V9C5Bm6SOvntG6k_vIvAyGdxG7jVtY3sqjY_yPDP2z3eUpDUI/s1600/Babes+10-12.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527224682417731330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0U-E3vGIaXrGpA1bO1FmyL1BbsUENkp0hMeUUvvoLi6t-JPmYfMUt6KsqmgPWwPRVkfZZn57uuIc01BK9gYGySpT1X3V9C5Bm6SOvntG6k_vIvAyGdxG7jVtY3sqjY_yPDP2z3eUpDUI/s320/Babes+10-12.jpg" border="0" /></a>And of course our Trio - SMILE TANNER ;-) <br /></div>Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-43230119430125547732010-09-25T23:14:00.002-04:002010-09-25T23:23:28.512-04:00A post from DavidOkay....everyone is saying I never talk about Dave in my posts and there is only one picture of him in the blog. So.....I am sitting with him now and he is going to write this post or say what he wants me to type.<br /><br />"I am sad because I can't spend more time with my wife and kids. There is not much I can do I have to stay busy on the road. My work keeps me away from home, sometimes up to a week at a time. It's good to see my family up here this weekend at my parents house in Boyd. I wish it was under happier circumstances though. Soon we will be going on our cruise to the Bahamas, and I imagine we will have plenty to drink and plenty of "stateroom" time. I need to make up for some lost time.......okay this is Stacey and I am chiming in.....I AM not writing this only typing this these are Daves thoughts.....okay Dave continue...but then again the cruise will take me away from my kids and I may have to run to Montana and back after that. It never ends :( I wish everyone well and I am kind of hungry I need a snack. Night night!!<br /><br />Okay now Stacey here. Yes Dave and I are leaving on Friday for a 3 day Bahama cruise with a couple of friends of ours. We are excited it will be fun. And after this weekend with the funeral and all...we will need a little trip away I hope we can enjoy ourselves and not miss the kids too much. <br /><br />I will post again soon and post some pictures of my awesome nieces and nephews!Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973793624011971096.post-24316401807411530782010-09-16T09:32:00.002-04:002010-09-16T09:35:40.923-04:00Our first PONYTAIL!!!This is going to be a short post but I had to post a picture of Allie's first ponytail, or shall I say palm tree. You have to look hard to see it, but it is there I promise! Personally, I think it's the cutest thing ever. Sissy doesn't have enough hair yet, but shouldn't be too long. It's sad when your little boy has more hair than both his sisters combined! Hope everyone has a splendid day - and here is our little ponytailed Allie.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibREst9xH3-2trEVZu8Q6xcL6pSi046hPal-P0cyQuYS53tiZrmg4AWoauOCUYnutAOxSk0EaQ2VkOB4V6xteYFc6-guwtNQL7lp9Ak-hHHZLvOC7YzuMIjGoW9YYTWdV0MBXUp7lWED4/s1600/My+first+ponytail.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517504381663121138" style="DISPLAY: block;

Yes - TIME FLIES. They are doing great. We had our one year old check-up and they are growing like weeds. Allie was 21 lbs 10z, Jasmine was 23lbs 4oz, and Tanner was 24 lbs 13oz. Our birthday party went very well, but it was a hard day for us. The Friday before that we found out that my brother in law passed away in a tragic accident. He flies for UPS and his plane crashed in Dubai. It's been a rough few weeks, but we are taking it one day at a time. He was a wonderful man and we will all miss him very much. We will be heading up to WI next week to say our final goodbyes at the funeral. <br /><br />However, the party did go well all things considering. I didn't have as much food as I wanted, didn't plan all the activities, but that was to be expected considering the circumstances, I think everyone forgave me :-) However, we did manage to make a pinata for the kids which they LOVED and we also had "Little Pig Hunt" which is like an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Easter</span> egg hunt but with paper pigs. The kids loved it. We also were blessed to have my niece Ava stay at our house with us for 4 nights while Mom was in Dubai taking care of some things. She enjoyed the party, especially the pinata, and had a great time with Mason when she was staying with us. She did great and is a sweet little girl!! <br /><br />We also had our 1 year old checkup last week and shots :( Tanner did the best with shots, he is super tough, barely cried. The girls on the other hand made it known that they were NOT pleased with the shots. They are meeting all milestones for a one year old but walking, but we are getting close! Allie weighed 21lbs 10oz, Jasmine 23lbs 4oz, and Tanner 24lbs 13oz, yes he is a moose!! <br /><br />Okay as for our new adventures and milestones.<br /><br />#1) My girls can finally wear very small ponytails on top of their heads, we are working on getting more <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">hair</span>.<br />#2) Girls know how to stand and are cruising around the furniture. Allie will stand alone for a few seconds, thinking she will be our first walker.<br />#3) Tanner pulls up to stand when he feels like it, but normally is just on his knees. Except when he's in bed or wants to play with Oscar. <br />#4) We do not like baby food, we would rather feed ourselves and make large messes. <br />#5) We all still have 6 teeth a piece, 4 on top two on bottom<br /><br />Mason is doing great as well, he really enjoys going to preschool and his new friends. He talks about <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Avante</span>, Keaton, Emma, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">MaKayla</span>, & Logan. He is always excited to be dropped off and has lots of fun stories at the end of the day. He is working on his vowels right now along with tracing and cutting :-) <br /><br />Well that's about it for now - I will follow up with pictures from the birthday party in a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">separate</span> post. Take care and will probably see some of you next week in Wisconsin.Mama Gorkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12420291611186902128noreply@blogger.com0
