Welcome To Our Crazy Life

We are the Colls and this is about our life with our triplets. My name is Sandi and my husband's name is Kevin. We got married on Feb. 7, 2004 and instantly started trying to have a baby. 5 years, many tears and loads of help later we found out we were having not one, not two, but three babies!

Braedan, Teagan and Sean bounced into our lives on Nov. 12, 2008 and everything has been turned upside down, flipped sideways and scattered about since then. I’m not going to sugar coat it....it wasn’t easy in the beginning. The NICU, late nights, screaming babies, being thousands of miles from our families because we were stationed in Hawaii, exhaustion and then Kevin deploying to Afghanistan for 6 months the day the kids turned 6 months old......not fun.

But now they are getting older and Kevin has been medically separated from the Marine Corps and we've moved to NY to be closer to family. It's great to finally have family around...... especially now that we've hit the TERRIBLE TWOS triple time!

Even though we are close to family now, we are still learning to survive life with triplets.

It's official....

What a long, exhausting week! We started the week by exploring animal masks. Kevin found some cute masks at Hawaii's version of a $Tree (nothing is really a dollar though) and the kids loved them!
Braedan wasn't feeling too well, so he didn't really play with the masks.  :(

Teagan got her first big girl ponytail on Thursday! She did really well with it to and didn't even try to take it out! We did the ponytail while getting ready for the beach.

Thursday was also the day Kevin met with the Drs and got the official word that he is being medically separated from the Marine Corps. That means in the next few months, we will be packing up and moving to New York! We are relieved to be getting out of the military, but really stressed and worried about changing over back into a civilian world. Kevin is happy that he will be working for his dad's company and we've been looking at houses to buy. The next few months will be busy, but we plan on taking in as much of Hawaii as we can while we are here!

To start that, we headed to our favorite beach to play!

Friday Kevin broke out the Slip N Slide for the babies to try. It was their first time seeing one and they weren't really sure of what it was, but they had a lot of fun. I'm sure the more they play on it and the older they get, they'll understand the concept more. For now though, it works!

Kevin had duty last night, so everyone is napping right now, but once everyone wakes up....it's back to the beach for us beach bums!!!

  1. Your kids are adorable! My 3 are just a few months older than yours. Isn't this a fun but very challenging age?
