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.

Packing it all in

We've decided to try and do as many things as we can before we leave this island. Kevin and I have done almost all there is to do here, but we want to make some memories and get pics of the kids doing things. On Sunday, December 26th we took the kids up to the Pali Lookout and down to the Waikiki Aquarium.



Big puddles are FUN!

I love these 4



On the way to the Aquarium, we knew the kids loved fish, but to say they were excited would be putting it mildly. During the whole ride they kept chanting "FISH!" When we got there, all three of the kids were screaming with excitement as we came to a new tank. It was really a lot of fun!


They clapped each time he swam by


Can you see the fish at the top between them? They thought it was funny












It kept trying to bite Teagan's finger and she kept giggling harder and harder!





As we were leaving the Aquarium, Kevin spotted a park across the street. We walked over and let the kids run off all of their energy and excitement. While there, Sean caught a bird. Yes, you read that correctly...he caught a bird. Luckily, Kevin ran over and saved the bird before any harm could have been done! HAHA



Chasing the bird

Getting closer

GOT YA!

He put him down as soon as we ran up to him and the bird



"Where bird go?" After Kevin took the bird to a tree

"Bird come back" (Teagan)





Catching birds is hard work for a 2yr old!

He was so proud of himself




WORN OUT: after a GREAT family day

  1. What great pictures and memories you'll have. It looks beautiful there! We moved when the kids were one and half and that was just in the same city. GOOD LUCK!!
