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.

Cupcake Creations!

I've forgotten to update the cupcake craziness! 

This one is an Oreo Overload one. It's a chocolate cupcake with a hidden Oreo in it with a cookies n cream butter cream icing and an Oreo garnish

Next is the rich Red Velvet. It's a Red Velvet cupcake with a cream cheese frosting

And the next one is the best I've made to date. Kevin and I had been talking about making a Smores cupcake. I looked online for some inspiration, but didn't like what I saw. Kevin and I agreed that it should have a graham cracker cupcake, a marshmallow filling and some chocolate somewhere. So this is what I ened up coming up with...A cinnamon graham cracker cupcake (just a hint of cinnamon) filled with a marshmallow buttercream and iced with a chocolate buttercream. Then I garnished it with a dusting of graham cracker crumbs, mini marshmallows and a chocolate bar piece. DELISH!!!



The last pic is just something I snapped when I caught a midget in the middle of stealing a cupcake. Seany actually snuck over to the dining room table, climbed up on a chair, stole a cupcake and devoured it! HAHA
