3.5 Years old and preschoolers!!!!!!!
I have not been good about posting and keeping up the blog within this past year. Age 2-3 has been very busy with loosing pacifiers, going from cribs to toddler to big kid beds and potty training and lots of other fun things in between.
The kids have their definite own distinctive personalities now. Brea loves: to play the mommy role with the boys, coloring, riding her bike, Barney, Dora, zebras, books ice cream, the color pink and going shopping with mommy and definitely loves to pick out her own shoes and clothes. Gage has a great memory, he loves: the color green, driving the battery operated mustang and riding his bike, swimming, play doh, books, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and pretend play. Brody loves: playing outside, driving the battery operated jeep, riding bikes, pretend play, dinosaurs and especially the book "How does a Dinosaur Clean his Room", Listening to music, Mac & Cheese and the color yellow.
We recently took them to the Dr. for their 3.5 year check up and here are their stats:
Brea: 39 inches and 33.4 lbs
Gage: 38 3/4 inches and 35.6 lbs
Brody: 38 inches and 31.6 lbs
They started preschool last week and I can hardly believe they are old enough to be going. It has been kind of a rough start because they don't want me to leave them and are use to being with me but I think they are starting to have fun while there. Their 3rd day is tommorrow. Before the second day, Gage did tell me he could not go because he could not walk his leg was broke. So I do have to admit he is creative and I'm sure that will be dangerous in the future :).

Trick or Treat Times 3
It was a busy halloween week this year. We took the kids out trick or treating 3x's last week. Tues. night they visited the Kalida nursing home and got to see lots of people, Thurs. night was trick or treat in our neighborhood and sat. they went to Bryan and Edgerton to visit and trick or treat. We decided to dress Gage as Winnie the Pooh, Brea as Tigger and Brody as Eeyore this year. Their costumes seem to be a big hit and kept them nice and warm too :). The kids loved carrying their pumpkins around and it didn't take them long to catch on to what was inside the m&m's pack after we gave them a little taste they kept bringing them to us and wanting us to give them more. We actually managed to get some pretty good pictures this year and posted some below.

Ready for fall and hoping the fall weather stays awhile!
We have been enjoying the preview of fall weather around here and it's nice to get the kids outside a little more than when it was almost too hot to be out although I'm not sure we are through with the really hot weather yet but I shouldn't complain because I'm dreading being cooped up during winter time.
Anyway, we have had a busy end of summer it seems like. We took the kids to the Ft. Wayne Children's zoo at the beginning of Aug. Grandpa and Grandma Hug were nice enough to go along and help. The kids did ok but Brody still doesn't really have the patience for outings but I think his favorite part of the day was the picnic lunch and getting to run around a little. The boys did pretty good on the pony rides but Brea was a little scared and I ended up holding her for the last half of the walk. Her favorite part of the day was the gift shop and picking up all the stuffed animals and poor Gage was so tired from the activities he fell asleep in the choo choo wagon and had to be carried out to the car still asleep.
Since the zoo we took a trip shoe shopping at stride rite for some new shoes for fall to fit their wide little feet and also had a photo shoot. I admit I was quite nervous for both of those occasions things but the kids did awesome. Although we didn't get a ton of smiles in the pictures..we did get some where all three were looking at the camera and they weren't running off which was my biggest concerns. We decided at the end of the session to try and get a family picture and I wasn't optimistic since the kids were getting tired of pictures but we got one that turned out great. So glad we took them!
Some other things the kids have been up to are going over to Grandma and Grandpa Recker's to play with them and lookat the cows and kittens, riding their golf cart, playing with Grandma and Grandpa Hug and going to their house for a cookout and to see their dog and cat, playing with the neighbor's cat that comes over to play sometimes, recent playdate with twins that are about the same age and of course wagon rides.
I have posted some of the recent pictures below.

Triplet and Twins playdate
We had a nice visit with some of our friends that have twin boys that are 3 months younger than our trio. It was cute to see the kids play with others so close in age. Here are a couple of pictures we took.
