Caden's Birthday Party

Caden had so much fun today. He loved that his friends shared this day and that he got a Pikachu cake, made especially for him by his dad. We went to a place here in town called "It's a Blast" and the kids all ran around like crazy and had lots of fun. After that we headed back to our place for treats and drinks and of course, cake and presents.

This is what the place looks like.
Lots of tubes and slides and a ball pit and on and on.

My super happy and sweaty boy.

The Pikachu cake. Caden has been asking for this cake since Christmas when he played a video game that had him as a character (he's from Pokemon and Caden had never seen anything from that before). We tried other ideas to see if he was serious and he absolutely was. So Justin went with it and this what he got. Caden was very happy to get his special cake.

and some silly little girls

Presents!

He loved everything.

So did all the other kids! He shared his toys and even his brother got to try it out.

So much fun! I am so proud of this little man. He's so sweet and super funny. I still have to do a little blurb about him like I did the other boys. I'll try to do that tomorrow. But today was a good good day!

Want a Little Freedom?

Stay in your lane. Don't look at other people's papers. Those couple of lines jumped out at me as I read Maria Goff's book " Love Lives Here" It reminded me that we can't all live the same life. Comparisons hold us back and discourage us like nothing else. We have fears of being different when we are SUPPOSED to be different. I grew up trying to fit in and not doing a very good job at it. When I was in my teens I thought I'd try a new approach so I started trying to be the opposite of what I was because I thought that is what everyone else wanted me to be. I am chatty and energetic and I tried to be dainty and quiet. I didn't do a very good job of that either. Yikes. Trying to be someone we're not is exhausting and it doesn't work. We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Am I really having triplets?

What does a person blog about the day before they have triplets? I mean - there are a million things going through my head but I can hardly sort them out, let alone write them down. It's all just very amazing, surreal, scary, exhilarating and on and on and on. I think there is just too much so I'll just ask that you pray for all of us and we'll try to post news as soon as we can. I likely won't be at the computer til the end of the week (if ever again :) ) but Justin will check it and try to update everyone.
