Randomness and we have a crawler

You guys I am so super excited because my baby Bean is crawling. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, he is full on crawling trying to chase his brothers around the house. Hold me, please, I can't keep up with this baby that is growing way to fast ( and though I love it, I also am nostalgic for the baby stage fleeting away.)

Here he is getting started
Yup, he is on the move
So proud of himself, good job Beanie baby
Back to my random post about a bunch of things that have happened in our lives lately.

It's been a year since my hubby got his lasik surgery done and let me tell you, he is so happy that he did it. His vision has never been better and I must say I love that he doesn't wear glasses anymore. I mean, why hide this beautiful face
I caught this sweet moment the other day, Tman was holding Bean's hand in the car to calm him down when he was crying then he fell asleep and didn't let go. Such an awesome big brother
My boys chilling in the playroom
Bean is such an adorable baby. He is just happy go lucky and easygoing. I try to give him as much one on one time as I can. After the big boys go to bed, it's just me and my Bean

Jbird is  still super clingy. He was diagnosed with a speech delay at his 2-year appointment and we are working on helping him with his communication skills. It is so good to hear him say new words and recognize letters. I am so proud of this kid
Tman is his father's child. He loves to do everything with his dad. That is so awesome because I have more free hands to focus on Jbird and Bean. Two peas in a pod these two
I love that hubby always takes the big boys in the man cave to play video games with him. They were totally ignoring me when I was trying to take this picture. My boys are doomed to be addicted to video games.
I hung out with my mom on Columbus day and it was awesome. We took the boys to the pediatrician to get their flu shots. I love that I have this awesome family support that makes trips to the doctor a breeze
After the pediatrician, we met up with my girlfriend C who was in town from Indiana and my girlfriend L who just had a new baby a little over a month ago. It was so awesome to get together and catch up on life. I love these girls like sisters.

The girls and I with some of our kiddos. Jbird didn't want to be part of our picture
The girls and I with our youngest, 6weeks, 6 months and 7.5 months
My mom hanging out with Bean and C's daughter
And because my mom and I were wearing matching dresses in different colors, we had to take a picture. It was so not planned but I love that we were matching :). I am so my mom's daughter
Oh and looks whose edges are growing back in nicely, this girl. It won't be long until I don't even remember this phase of my life. I guess 8 months post partum is where things start looking up. I need to remember that next time

That's all the random updates I have for today. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Hanging out with the band

Last week we had an amazing experience hanging out with hubby's friend and his crew. It all happened during the week, which made me realized that I am too old to be partying all night like that anymore. But overall we had such a great time that I didn't really mind the lack of sleep and didn't mind having to recuperate for days.

Hubby's friend, who was the best man at our wedding, has been a DJ since I met him almost 10 years ago. He got together with a solo artist called Femme and he DJ's for her when she goes on concert. Femme writes and produces her own music, which is awesome and she has this trademark pink hair that is super cool. One of her singles is "Fever Boy" which is an awesome song.

Anyway, Femme was hand picked by Charlie XCX to join her on her North American tour as the opening act. That is a huge deal you guys because Charlie XCX is kind of a big deal, some of her popular songs include: "Fancy" with Iggy Azalea, "Boom Clap" and "I love it" to name a few. She is a huge English super star :).

Check out the all access pass from the concert :)
I digress. Hubby's friend and his crew arrived the day before the concert and stayed with us. That was so awesome because we don't get to hang out with him that often anymore so it's nice to get some one on one time whenever we can.
We took everyone on a tour of DC at night. All they wanted to do was go to Ben's chilly bowl and see the White House. We indulged them of course.

Before we left the house I got a group picture of course :), you know how I roll
At Ben's chili bowl, everyone is too busy eating and totally ignoring the photographer
Femme loves our president, she is a keeper
Photo op of course
 After Ben's chili bowl, we drove to a few monuments so that they could check them out. Everything was so dark for pictures but looked so beautiful in person.
 I can't leave without taking a selfie of course
We drove by the white house and did the tourist thing as you do
The next day we showed up at the 9:30 club with our VIP all access passes, so cool huh?
Me and my favorite Brit ;)
We got to hang out in the dressing room with the band. They had these delicious cupcakes that I devoured
Then it was time to get on stage and perform
 Check us out up there on the balcony
 Check out the crowd

We had the best seats in the house, a balcony right above the stage and it was just for us. Best view in the place I tell you. I was grinning from ear to ear.

After the show they joined us up in the balcony area

From there we all watched and enjoyed the main act: Charlie XCX. She was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the show

 What an awesome night it was. It was also hubby's birthday so a birthday kiss was in order :).
The next day everyone was hurting, it took us 3 days to recuperate from the late night weekday partying. The girls were so laid back, they spent the morning hanging out with the boys.
Femme even let Jbird wear her slippers :). How cool is that?
We had such an awesome time hanging out with hubby's friends and his crew. It's not everyday we get to hang out with grown ups and mess up our routine a bit. I will survive and eventually get caught up on the lack of sleep. Kuddos to my mom who put the boys to bed each night so that we could go out and party like grown ups. With this kind of support, it's no surprise we want to populate the earth :).

Fall festival and hubby's birthday

We had a busy but fun week you guys. Hubby's friends were visiting from England and we got to hang out with them 2 weekdays in a row staying up until 3 am each day. It was definitely exhausting and tiring so we took Friday off to recuperate. That Friday off allowed us to go to Jbird's daycare for their Fall festival as a family. We don't ever get a chance to all go to school's event so it was pretty awesome that we were all able to go. This plan worked out perfectly for us :).

Jbird just started daycare 2 months ago and he is finally not crying or having bad days. I think he is well adjusted to this new routine. Jbird was so happy to be at his school with us and even more happy that we didn't leave him behind.

After sleeping in on Friday to recuperate from the late nights spent partying, we headed to Jbird's school in the afternoon for the festival. As soon as we got there I got a family picture even though Tman was asleep.
Tman passed out the minute we got in the car and since he transfers so easily, we figured we would let him take his nap while we hung out with Jbird and Bean. That was actually a great plan
Hubby carried Bean the entire time we were there
While I hung out with Jbird while he did the various activities. He got to paint a few pumpkin and made a huge mess. Jbird sure loved getting some one on one time with us
I helped him paint a smiley face on one of the pumpkins, he was so happy about that
After pumpkin painting, we went on a hayride kid style. I was the driver in charge of taking the kids around the playground
After several hayrides, we went for the swings. Jbird loves to hang out on the swings
I love this picture of my boys, hubby looks so good wearing Bean and Jbird just happy to be on the swing.
Can you even believe that Tman slept the whole time we were there? that's my Tman right there, napping everywhere and anywhere. I decided to include him in the family picture anyway. Our family with our triplets (I know I am crazy like that. Someone actually asked me if they were triplets, no crazy they are just wearing the same clothes in different sizes)
The fall festival celebration at Jbird's school was such a great success. I am actually happy that Tman slept the whole time allowing us to give Jbird all the attention and focus on him having fun.

After the festival we went home and hubby and Bean passed out on the couch as they do all the time. Aren't they so adorable? they have the cutest sleepy faces
My family came over to wish my hubby a happy birthday and help him eat his cake :). Hubby's parents were out of town so they weren't there to celebrate with us.
The boys were super excited to help hubby blow on his candles. Check out Tman going all out and Jbird just giggling away. He was so happy that he got a chance to blow on the candles.
Look at the kiddos looking at the cake with complete admiration. They ate the cake and thoroughly enjoyed it. Even my niece who is finally old enough to have cake. Don't worry Bean, you'll be there soon too.
We had a day packed with activities and celebrations but it was so much fun. After an awesome afternoon hanging out at Jbird's school, we had a great time celebrating hubby's birthday. I am so glad everyone got to sleep in between all the hanging out. Happy birthday to my hubby.
