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.

Honolulu City Lights 2010

We want the kids to enjoy their last Christmas in Hawaii. This year we decorated the outside of the house as well as the inside. The kids love Christmas lights. I mean the LOVE the lights! Every morning they run down stairs and yell "OH NO, LIGHTS" until we turn on each strand. When it starts to get dark they chant  "OUTSIDE LIGHTS!" until we all go out and plug in the lights and blow up characters. The love, love, love Christmas.

We started taking them around the housing area nightly to show them all of the lights around the houses on base. They love driving slowly and yelling, "LIGHTS" "SANTA" and "FROSTY" as we pass each area.

A few friends told us about the big city light display downtown so we knew we'd have to take the kids. After looking for a few days we finally found them. WOW! The city of Honolulu did a great job. The have tons of lights, statues, a hall of differently decorated trees and even rides for kids! It was a lot of fun and the kids had a BLAST!
