Triple the fun in Tennessee!

This summer really is off to a great start. We've already had so much fun that it seems selfish to think that the fun gets to keep going. I finally made it to Tennessee to visit Jason, Summer, Skyler, Asher, and Ryder. Seriously I think I said "Oh my God" and "Ooooohhhh, that is so cute..." about one thousand times. I was sad to leave Tessa, Nolan, and Derek back in WI but as soon as we walked into J and Summer's beautiful home after the twelve hour car ride (that couldn't go fast enough because I was so excited) I was so happy that I made the trip. I traveled with my parents (aka Graunt and Grunkle) and my grandma (aka Grandma Grape). We left Wednesday and returned about four hours ago. I know really I should have picked my favorite photos to put on here but who can pick their favorite when all of the pics are adorable. When I asked Jason and Summer if it was okay if I placed pics of the boys on my blog I don't think that they knew I meant sixteen of them. I just couldn't resist.

Skyler, Asher, and Ryder...cuteness all over the place. Cute, cute, and more cute. Jason and Summer so graciously opened their house up to the four of us to stay right with them. It was honestly so much fun. Just seeing one of them would have been major cuteness, but three of them. That's what I call falling in love at first sight and making your heart melt. Traveling back to TN was actually bitter-sweet for me. The last time I was there, Halloween of 2008, was when everything with my second pregnancy took a devastating turn for the worse. Coming back to TN I couldn't help but think of my angel baby while at the same time look at these three gifts from God that have been given to J and Summer. The boys are just absolutely perfect.

The first three pics are very similar. I couldn't decide which one was cuter. Ryder, who is in the middle, is the only one who had eaten his bottle and the other two were very hungry. I love the last of the three when Skyler is trying to eat Ryder. Ryder is just hanging out loving getting the pics taken.

We had a great time but I always do love coming home from vacations. There is no place like home. I came home and stepped right back into my own crazy world. Derek was heading out for the night to go visit a friend from college that is in the military that he hasn't seen in two years. So he pretty much had to head out right when I walked in the door. Tessa was awake and I was so happy to see her. Nolan was taking his evening nap when I got home so I went to wake him. After spending the week with the little munchkins Nolan seemed HUGE! He seems like he's changed so much in the five short days. Tessa and Nolan don't even know what's coming tomorrow...major snuggle time!









Love this picture of Grandma Grape with Ryder. They were a perfect fit for that afternoon nap!





Too bad Nolan wasn't along. He could have taught Asher what the jumper is supposed to be used for:)

The bottle picture...I just wanted to give those of you that complain about washing bottles a chance to see this...to realize that you have it pretty easy. The pic of the clean bottles is less than twenty-four hours worth of bottles. I will never ever ever ever complain about washing Nolan's bottles again!! I now know how easy I have it! Time goes so crazy fast that about eight months from now the triplets won't even be drinking out of bottles anymore...crazy to think.
