Cooper, Tucker, and Carter are TWO

I can't believe we have two-year-olds!

The boys turned 2 on January 22nd. We had a small celebration at home with just the grandparents. It was nice and simple. I plan to have a bigger party next year for the boys.

During their nap I decorated their cakes and hung a few decorations for their Paw Patrol family celebration!

Tucker

Cooper

They loved exploring their decorations.

They received a special gift from a fellow secret sister triplet mom.

They bombarded Grandpa and opened their gifts immediately!

After dinner - it was cake and birthday song time. Tucker wasn't feeling the best.

Here are the boys a day later with their gift from Great Grandma Bevy and Great Grandpa Louie.

They are two. TWO. I have three TWO-year-olds. Now they are already a quarter of a year to their next birthday. Ayi-i-i!!!

The day of her birthday we celebrated with a trip to her favoite park, a trip to her friend's house, and a surprise early arrival home from her Daddy! We had cake and ice cream with Grandpa Dave, Grandpa Tracy, and Great G'ma and Great G'pa! She opened a few presents of course, too.

We went to Rocket Park!

That afternoon she opened her first present from her Daddy.

She loved her signing cat card from Grandpa.

After lunch (while the boys napped) we headed to Barrett's house. He surprised her with a special locket.

Daddy was working in MN and due home late that night...but he made a special trip home in time for cake and ice-cream with Madison!

Love this picture of these two SO SO much!

Her awesome Barbie remote control car from Grandma!

She LOVES it!

A new fishing pole from Grandpa. (I'm not sure why my Dad refuses to smile in pictures.)

Super cool Barbie coloring/sticker book from the Great Grandparents.

A few days later she had a birthday party at Monkey Joe's!

In the ticket booth!

And...she's already asking about her 6th birthday party...

Madison 4 Years Old (Yes, I'm Posting This Almost 1 Year Late)

Here are a few pictures from Madison's birthday and party last year.

The morning she turned 4

At her annual check up.

At her party with her friends!

Uncle and Catherine visited for her birthday weekend last year!

Happy Birthday, Madison!!!

She had a blast with all her family. Here she is with her cousin, Maddison.

Here she is with her other cousin, Luke.

I am excited to ask her the same questions this year...and NOT post the answers 1 year later....

I can hardly believe she will be 5 in a few weeks. She's a smart, passionate, and kind little girl that we love more than words can explain. She holds such a special place in my heart. I am tearing up just thinking of how much she means to me. Although, sometimes the tears are of frustration (she can be SO SASSY it scares me to think of her as a hormonal teenager)...haha.

I often look at her and wonder where my little baby went...I'm sure I'll always feel that way.

I WILL post her 5 year old updates and birthday post in a more timely fashion FOR SURE.
