Happy 11th Birthday Tanner, Connor and Sydney




My kids love hearing about their birth.  As they grow older we tell them more and more details about the miraculous way they came to this earth.  We had a few minutes before the bus came on their birthday morning and so I found myself answering their questions as I looked at their amazed faces staring into the distance trying to imagine that when they were born their dad's wedding ring could fit around Connor's arm or that Sydney was the sickest in the NICU or that Tanner was supposed to be born 2nd but they found him inside of me before Connor.  As they left for the bus I found myself thanking my Heavenly Father once again for the blessing of having them in our family.

David and I enjoyed a Chic-fil-A birthday lunch with the kids outside on the school picnic tables.  They chose to go to Wasabi's for dinner, YUM.  An elderly couple was at our table and couldn't stop gushing about the fact that they were triplets.  They are used to this attention, and it's interesting to see their different reactions to it.  We ended our night with cake and presents and a video chat with Trey.  What a perfect day.

Package from Trey with BYU presents!!
That fire is hot!

 Below Sydney's face you can see the missed rice ball
