My Beauties. My Heart.

The Simple things in life.

The ones that are right before our eyes.

The ones that grace our hearts with their innocence.

The ones we spend minutes and days and weeks with, but sometimes forget to take those extra minutes to stop and enjoy all the special details that those seconds hold. The special details that pass so quickly. The details that once they are gone...are mere memories in our hearts and minds.

My heart and mind are filled with those special memories.

My beautiful babies are growing so fast.

I look at them in complete awe of how fast they are changing. Taking in the world around them.

Matt and I have held many difficult decisions upon our shoulders over the past several months.

I have been struggling the the increased time the I find I am away from my beauties with work, and derby. I miss my girls. I miss my family. I am missing my girls. I am missing those seconds, those details that I can never get back.

When Chloe was born I left the outside working world, and began my career as a stay at home Mommy. I loved it. Everything about it. I continued that throughout the triplets (almost) three years and then began working outside the home. We needed some extra income, and with Matt working a better shift, the time was right. A part time job, turned into an almost full time one for the last year and a half. After much discussion between us, and lots of worry and tears...my children, come first to me. I have left my outside the home job. Because I need to be at home with them, and they need me too. I am missing those seconds that I cannot get back. I am not willing to watch those seconds disappear anymore. I can't.

My beauties are my world. My heart. I blink...they grow...I blink again...they will be grown.

My mind feels clear. I have made the right decision.

Matt supports the decision we have made as a partnership. We will make it.

I am ecstatic to get back the Mommy that I was before my life became too busy with too many other things.

I have a clear focus.

I am a Mommy. To four amazing, beautiful little girls. They need their Mommy. I am a wife. To a man who is my hero and my heart. I am a woman. A wonderful mother and wife. There is enough of me for many different things. But my focus is my family.

My family is my heart, my soul, my world. Without them I am nothing.

"Happiness is a Journey. Not a Destination."

They reminded me of this today. I am thankful for that reminder.

I love you with my entire heart.

Sleep Well Sweet Beauties.

Happy Fathers Day...a little early

To my husband. The father of my beautiful little girls. My hero. My everything.

To the man I married. To the man you have become. To the man you evolve into with each passing day.

We love you.

Happy Father's Day.

The lyrics to this song touch my heart so close.

My heart melts every time I hear it because it perfectly describes Matty with his four little girls.

Their new found thing to do together is fish...I can see the meaning of this song in his eyes. With every worm he puts on their hooks. With every squeal of excitement they let out when they know it's time to go in Daddy's boat. He loves them more than words can express. And he is their hero...every single day.

Daddy's little girls, wrapped tightly around his ~~finger~~ heart.

I’m lost in her there holdin’ that pink rod and reel
She’s doin’ almost everything but sittin’ still
Talkin’ ‘bout her ballet shoes and training wheels
And her kittens
And she thinks we’re just fishin’

I say, “Daddy loves you, baby” one more time
She says, “I know. I think I got a bite.”
And all this laughin’, cryin, smilin’ dyin’ here inside’s
What I call, livin’

And she thinks we’re just fishin’ on the riverside
Throwin’ back what we could fry
Drownin’ worms and killin’ time
Nothin’ too ambitious
She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’

She’s already pretty, like her mama is
Gonna drive the boys all crazy
Give her daddy fits
And I better do this every chance I get
‘Cause time is tickin’
(Yeah it is)

And she thinks we’re just fishin’ on the riverside
Throwin’ back what we could fry
Drownin’ worms and killin’ time
Nothin’ too ambitious
She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’

She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
Yeah, aww, she thinks we’re just fishin’
We ain’t only fishin’
(This ain’t about fishin’)

My Hearts

The Little Beauties.

I will climb this wall. I will. I will not, however, look at my Mommy, who is trying with all of her power to get me to look at her so she can take my picture, because I am Jocelyn. And I do not look at the camera.

Sorry Mommy, you lose. I win.

I will slide down this slide, but first I will stop and smile at my Mommy, who is of course, holding that camera. She really likes it when I smile sweetly at her. So I will ham it up, because I am Farrah, and that is what I do! How's this grin Mommy?

I will pretend to look surprised at Mommy. I know that she is pointing that camera at me. I look sassy and cute and of course sweet as can be. I will not smile right now though because sometimes I need to make Mommy work for it. I am Silvie and I know I am cute, smiling or not.

Jocelyn showing her sisters how it is done.

Atta girl, Jocey...always being a leader.

I guess I will smile at her now.

But only because I am having a blast and I cannot contain my happiness.

Mommy, Daddy and Chloe gave us our very first bicycles for our birthday.

We are very happy. See...smiling.

Chloe and her bestie Olivia had to have their "family" picture taken together.

So sweet. So grown up from the bathtub pictures we used to take of them together.

All the kiddos at the party today...but who is missing?

Jocelyn Pearl was missing!

She did not want to be in the picture.

Actually, she just wanted her purple whistle, which we realized after the picture was taken this was the major crisis. Daddy held her and although she wasn't ~~smiling~~ looking at the camera, at least she is in the photo with her sissies and her friends!

What a great 4th Birthday party.

We LOVE cake(s)

The Littlest Beauties finally getting their cakes!

Of course they had their favorite animals...

Silvie = alligator

Jocelyn = penguins

Farrah = elephant

Aunt Deanna did an amazing job!

Silvie was so proud of her cake!

They are were! But she especially would not move from the table where it was placed.

There were lots of people singing happy birthday. The only malfunction of the party...

It was really windy and we couldn't get the candles to light. I was really worried about this. On their actual birthday, we sang and blew candles out four different times. Once for all three together and then once for each individually. They seemed okay with it today. I think because there were so many people standing around them singing. They just wanted to eat cake!
