We are moving this week

We are so excited we are moving to a townhome this week! Been busy getting organized for the move so it is easier on us! Believe it or not the last two times we moved I was pregnant! Not this time :)

The girls have transitioned to big girl beds well! We have to put them back in at least once but they get it after that. The girls have also been helping with laundry, they love to put the laundry in the washer and dryer! I hope it stays that way! Their speech is coming along. This week our new words are "raven", "grandma", "poop" and "big butt" (yes I know, it comes from a song-opps). We are proud of any words :) They will be seeing a speech pathologist at Children's. The doctor feels we need a little more help than just the Birth to Three program from the school district. We will still be having them over at our new home. It is confusing because sometimes one of them will say a complete sentence out of the blue, I guess we will figure it out in the long run! They are still my climbers, daredevils and cuddlebugs! This week they have also been wanting to sit on the potty, we bought big girl panties but they aren't quite ready for the big plunge!

Charlie has started to crawl, the army crawl! He is soooo proud of himself, he is attempting to pull himself up on things but he gets nervous! Maybe he will be my careful baby not like his daredevil, scare their mom to death sisters! He loves baths and likes to laugh and giggle at his silly sisters. Charlie finally sleeps until 5am now, he loves his bottle so much he had a hard time getting rid of the middle of the night bottle! He also sits in carts at the store like a big boy, which he thinks he is king s---! If you know what I mean. His other favorite thing is to sit in the highchair and play with spoons, plates and cups. Mommy can get the dishes done now!

Daddy has been accepted at Normandale Community College! He also received grants to pay for it!!! GO DADDY! His plan is to get his two year degree there, move on to the U and then he wants to go to Pharmacy school. He knows it's a long road ahead but he is committed and very excited. We will miss him lots since he will be working and going to school, but it will all pan out in the end!

I am doing well, trying to balance everything! I had to put my own plans on hold for right now but will slowly get them in the swing again as soon as we get settled in our new home. I am planning the girls 2nd birthday and bargain hunting fall clothes, this is an expensive venture to clothe three little ones. I am a coupon user and go for the deals! Buy one, get one deals are my favorite, it works great for the girls ;)

Our next post will hopefully contain photos of our new home and some new ones of the kiddos! So see you all again in August!

Fourth of July


On our way to the 4th of July parade!

Ok, even in a stroller I can not get them all to look and smile at the same time :)

The Parrows joined us! Davy is playing with one of the three bubble blowers I bought to entertain them before the parade. They worked really well and we were all full of bubbles!!!

The Nguyen men!

Daddy and the kiddos!

Charlie really wants the bucket for candy!

Watching the firetrucks go by! Charlie cried when they turned the sirens on.

Baylee eating watermelon! They were the hit of the crowd when they dropped all the toys to eat watermelon!

Yum!
