Almost 1!!!
Its been a while like always since my last post...Not much has happened here in Sunnyside since my last post. Jace did start crawling about 2 weeks ago and the rest is history! He has been all over the house with his little sidekick Liam and they are just as curious as ever! Its so fun to watch them but just incase I cant keep a constant eye on them we decided to get a play gym for them to hang out in when I cant...They seem to like it for a while, Stella still cant crawl so shes happy if shes in there all day since she has no desire to go anywhere anyways! lol In 2 weeks they will be 1 years old and I just CANT believe it! This past year has been crazy, so much has happened and it has just flown by!!! We are having there birthday party here and lots of family and friends are coming from out of town so we are really excited! I have been getting ready for that, well the boys are being silent so I am going to go check on them, just wanted let everyone know how we were doing...God Bless!

July 20th
The last couple of weeks have been very busy, we headed down to Cali for Bres Baby showers and to spend some time with family and friends. It was a success and the babies did great! They LOVED seeing Grandmas, Grandpas, aunts, uncles, and lots of new friends they have never met before!!! Bres showers were so fun, she was blessed with a lot of friends, family, and gifts for there little boy on the way! We got to go to church on Sunday at Tulare Community and it was GREAT to be back! Wish we could have stayed all day visiting! :) Later that night we headed down to Ontario to hang out with family and friends and had a great time...there are so many pictures I can post you will have to go to my facebook page to look at them all! lol For some reason it takes so long on here and its so fast on facebook! Babies did great on the airplane, car, traveling, etc...Stella had a melt down for about 5 min then fell asleep on Mom, lol.
Liam started crawling the day we left for California which was July 8th! He hasnt stopped yet and loves to get into EVERYTHING! Haha this will be very interesting when the other 2 start! Jace sees his little brother crawl and he gets so angry that he cant do it, he moves his feet, he gets up in the air and trys so hard! He will get there just a couple more weeks, Stella on the other hand has no desire, she sees him crawl and is like ya I will stay right here, lol...She actually finally got her first tooth though! about 4 days ago it finally popped through and I see another on the way, hopefully it doesnt take another month to come through like the last! lol
Yesterday was my birthday and we had a little BBQ and had a great time celebrating! We are enjoying summer and wouldnt mind if it got a little hotter! lol never thought I would say that living in Pixley the last 7 years when our average day in summer is 105! but its been in the mid 80s which is beautiful but I do like the 90s especially if its going to get down to 0 in the winter!!! Everyone said this isnt normal and its usually a lot hotter so we will see? Its supposed to be in the 90s by the end of this week :) It was SOOOO great to see everyone and there was still some that we missed and would have loved to see, Rick really wanted to be there too but we are hoping to come out soon with the whole family and visit again! Hope everyone has a blessed week!

4th of July!
Hope everyone had a great 4th! Ever since Rick asked me to marry him in 2003 on 4th of July it has been a special holiday for us, we had a great 4th this year! We had family over and our neighbors and did a BBQ, it doesnt get dark here till 10pm so we stayed up late waiting for fireworks from our front yard, we could see plenty of firework shows! We have been very busy the last couple of weeks so I have a lot to write about!
My grandparents were here for a week and we had a really nice visit! I have been getting ready to go down to California for a week for Bres baby shower and I am getting SO excited!
The babies are all sitting up now, they get off balance a little after a while and flop over, they just turned 10 months on the 26th! There saying Mama and Dada, (still not knowing what there saying) They are all over the place, Liam is about to crawl any day, I was looking at the last post how I wrote Stella is about to break a tooth any day now and she still hasnt! ANY day now though! haha Here is some pictures from the past few weeks...I guess there wasnt as much to talk about as I thought! haha

June 15th
I just booked my airplane tickets to Cali!!! After getting off the internet I thought to myself what did I just get myself into? Am I really bringing 3 nine month olds on an airplane? I get annoyed going on it just with me and Rick, lol...Lori and Auntie Janie are coming along too for Bres shower so we each get a baby on our lap, haha.... My Mom just left this morning she has been here for 10 days...she had a great time, loved it here and loved seeing the babies most of all! Other than our whole hay stack catching on fire while she was here it was all good...The hay is still burning and Rick said it will for a couple of days, we went out to dinner last night came home and a man came running to our door telling us our hay was on fire, Rick ran out there and Jarred and Jake were there also and it went from a small fire to a huge fire in minutes! Thank God it wasnt worse than it was and no one got hurt! It stinks cause it took them forever to search for that hay..God is still good! :)
The babies are just growing daily, just way faster than I would like! I know its life but its just crazy! Liam and Stella are now saying Da Da even though they dont know what there saying its still cute! Jace and Liam roll all over the living room floor, I put them one spot and I come back a minute later and there 5 feet away, they get on the tile and slide across it, lol I am not sure if that is good for there crawling skills, why learn to crawl if you can just slide along the tile? haha Stella would just prefer to lay on her back or scream to be held, lol she has been crabby the last couple of days so I think shes going to have a tooth ANY day! The boys will lay on the floor and look at each other and just laugh and talk and touch each other its the cutest thing I have ever seen! ;) Were trying to wean there last nap that they take at 6pm right now so from 7-8 its a little crazy at our house! They dont want to sleep but they dont want to stay up, we have just been keeping them up and then if they get too crabby put them to sleep till feeding time at 8pm...we will see how it goes for a couple of days and go from there...
Well just wanted to post and let everyone know how we are doing, talk soon and God Bless! ;)

9 Months and everything else...
The babies turned 9 months old on the 26th! I know I say it every month but I cant believe how fast time goes by, I know its life! lol The Dr. was so impressed at how well the babies are doing, she said they havent been sick at all yet? Praise God! They are gaining weight great even though they are still in the 1% for 9 month olds they will catch up eventually. Jace weighed 14 pounds exactly and was 25 1/2 inches long, Liam weighed 15 pounds exactly and was also 25 1/2 inches long, Stella weighed 13 pounds and 14 ounces and was 25 inches long! They are still getting 4 bottles a day eating baby food 3 times a day, we have started feeding them instead of at 8am, 12pm, 4pm, and 8pm, we moved the 8pm to like 7:30pm and took there last nap away...they get a little cranky at around 7pm but they are out by 8:30 and dont wake up till 8am to eat again! They didnt need to get any shots till there 1 year check up! She pricked all there feet to make sure there iron levels were doing good, I didnt know this but the last trimester of your pregnancy is when the babies get all there iron, well since they were so early they didnt get too much, she checked them out though and they were all great! Praise the Lord! Here is a picture I took at the Drs. while we were waiting for her to come in...
The babies are doing a lot of new things, there not crawling yet but I think Liam is the closest. They all get on there bellies and roll around, I will put them one place and come back and they are 5 ft from where I put them! lol They are all saying bababa Jace said Mama but I know it was on accident, lol They all shake there head yes and no even though they dont know what there saying its really cute! :) They are ALMOST able to sit on there own, we have been doing exercises with them to help them and there so close! They all love bath time here is a picture I took of them yesterday all in the bath together for the first time!
Stella, Jace, and Liam reaching for the water :)
My Dad and Belinda and Courtney came last week for there first time. It was so good to see them ,spend time with them, and show them around. My Dad put up a fence for us so we can keep the babes contained when they start walking....I am sure they will find a way out and as soon as they are big enough wont even want to stay in the fence but for now its nice...its nice for the dogs as well! Here is a couple pics..
this is from our back porch...no editing it really is so beautiful ;)
this is from our front porch...
Here is a pic of my Dad playing with the babes, they had so much fun!
While my Dad and Belinda were here Jarred and Bre found out if there baby was going to be a boy or a girl, they managed to keep it a secret all day till we went for dinner. Here are a couple pics...

Its a boy!
So I tried taking the babies 9 month pictures, after I had spent a half hour getting them dressed and taking them all I realized I forgot to do the boys hair! lol they werent really in the mood anyways if you can tell by the few pictures I actually took! haha
this one a little better ;)
Stella is SO full of personality, I can only imagine all the things she is going to say when she can talk! I had to add these two of her...
This morning I woke up and thought it looked so pretty I had to take this picture, if you look real close on the left you can see the tip of a mountain, thats Mt. Adams, and on the right if you look even closer thats Mt. Reineer...all our neighbors told us that if you look in the morning and see the mountains clearly it is going to be a nice day....I have my bathing suit out and if I am not feeding babies I will be outside! ;)
Hope everyone is doing great, we love and miss all our family and friends that we dont live by! On the brighter side though we are meeting a lot of new friends and get to hang out with our family that does live here! We went to Shaylons 8th grade graduation on thursday night and Dillons High School graduation last night! God Bless everyone!!

May 21st 2011
Today is May 21st my Mother in laws birthday so first I want to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! =) also according to Harold Camping the world is supposed to end today at 6pm...I wanted to share with you what I got from a pastors facebook page:
By now you have heard of the ‘predictions’ of a man named Harold Camping.
He has gotten quite a bit of press over his prediction that the world will come to an end on May 21, 2011. I’m not going to even go into how he says he arrived at that conclusion,but instead I will just cut to the chase.
He is wrong.
By the way, this is not the first time he has made this prediction. The last time was on September 6, 1994. Needless to say, that did not pan out.
You might say “But how do you know that he is wrong?” That is a valid question. My answer is because the next event on the prophetic calendar is the rapture of the church, not “the end of the world.”
The rapture is that event when all true believers are called to meet the Lord in the air (see 1 Thessalonians 4:17). Then the tribulation period, which will last for seven years, will begin and at the end of that will come God’s judgment with the second coming of Jesus.
No one knows the day or hour.
As to when Jesus will come for His church in the Rapture, we cannot know that date. In Acts 1:7, Jesus said, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.” In Matthew 24:36, Christ taught similarly: “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”
So, because of the misguided notions of Mr.Camping, there are going to be some disillusioned people on May 22, 2011.
But none of them will be people who have carefully studied the Scripture, only those who have effectively ignored it.
Jesus is coming!
In response to Camping's misguided predictions, athiests in the United States are planning “Rapture after parties” as a way of making light of Camping’s predictions and really the very idea that Jesus is returning.
That is a foolish thing to do, because there will come a day when Jesus will return.
Scripture warns about this:
"First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, 'Where is this "coming" he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation'" (2 Peter 3:3 NIV).
God then reminds us that He keeps His promises, and He has promised to come again.“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:8).
The end of your world may come even sooner.
While I do not believe the end of the world is coming on May 21, let me add the ‘end of your world’ (or mine) could come on any day. By that I mean the day when you and I die.
That is why we need to all make sure our lives are right with God and we are walking closely with Him. The Bible says we need to “prepare to meet our God.” (Amos 4:12). Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people.
Are you ready to meet the Lord face to face? Only those who have put their complete trust and faith in Jesus Christ are.
We are reminded of how we are to be living as believers as we await Christ’s return in 2 Peter 3:14, "So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.”
-Greg Laurie
*Ok now on a different note I wanted to update my blog with some new pictures I took, I FINALLY finished he babies room now that there almost 9 months old! haha I never really decorated there room in Pixley cause I knew we were moving, so when we moved here I was so excited to decorate! When it was all done I still felt like something was missing, Rick thinks its too busy but I loved it! lol
Rick and I loved living on the dairy in Pixley so when we found out we were also going to be living on the dairy when we moved to washington in this house and seen the layout I was so excited, this was the original master bedroom of the house when it was first built, the original owners added on another master bedroom so it perfect for the babies nursery to fit all 3 cribs in there with room to spare, lol! Here is a picture of Stellas side of the room...
The babies are almost 9 months old but there adjusted age is really 6 months, we had there high risk follow up at Children's Village last week and everything went great! Childrens Village is in Yakima and they allotted an hour and a half for each baby...So Lori came with me, we packed the bottles, formula, blankets, etc and prepared for a LONG day, my babies are on a tight schedule and if they miss there nap which I think they have done 2 times since they have been home, lol they are not too happy! So it ended up taking way less time, the babies did great missing there first nap and the physical therapist said they are doing everything right on time with there adjusted age (6 months) she gave us exercises to help them sit up and to help with there motor skills and all that same stuff they give you when you go to your normal Dr. so she said give us a call if you have any concerns otherwise they look great! Thank you Lord! ;) We have there 9 month appointment on the 31st so I am SO anxious to see how much they weigh and what she has to say...until then hope everyone enjoys there weekend, my Dad, Belinda, and Courtney are coming tomorrow morning for a week so we are VERY excited to see them!!!
God Bless everyone!
Oh ya one more thing, I wanted to share a couple pictures I took of the babies after there Dr. appt.
Jace is too cool ;)

Hi Stella!

Mothers Day
Yesterday was my 1st Mothers Day celebrating being a Mom! We had a great time with family! Last year I couldnt believe that my prayer of being a Mom was finally being answered, let a lone x 3! From last year to this year I have been blessed so many ways by God that could have only happened by being a Mom. I thank HIM for every minute, day, and month with my 3 babies He has given me! I feel honored that He choose them to be my babies! I am also SO thankful for all the Moms in my life that have blessed me in so many ways! While my Mom, step-Mom, Grandmas and Great Grandmas didnt get to be with us we were thinking of them the whole day! We went to church in the morning with Grandma Lori and Grandpa Jake, Uncle Jarred and Auntie Bre (we stayed in the cry room) lol and then went to lunch right after and came home to just hang out around the house the rest of the day...Here are a couple of pictures from our day....
Hope everyone had a blessed Mothers Day! Love you Mom! ;)

Cinco De Mayo!
Cinco de Mayo was a very exciting day at the Slegers house! It all started that morning when I was feeding Jace...Lori and Bre were feeding Liam and Stella and I noticed Jace kept sticking his tongue out. They have been drooling and putting everything in there mouth for months now so we were waiting for this day. So I decided to feel in his mouth and sure enough his bottom right tooth was barely sticking out! I cried, and laughed, and got so excited for him!!! The other tooth you can barely see and will probably pop out right next to it any day now...Stella and Liam look like theres are about to pop out too but we will see? Later that day Auntie Bre got to feel her baby move for the first time! It has been so fun to watch little baby S grow in Mommies tummy, this is Rick and I's first little niece or nephew so its been an exciting adventure! Then later that day at 5pm we started milking our cows for the first time in our new barn! (I say WE like I was doing anything lol) but Lori and I brought all the babies out there and watched them bring the cows in, of course they had some technical difficulties so after waiting for so long we eventually went in the house but it was a huge deal for Rick, Jarred and Jake!
Here is a little update on how the babies are doing and what they are doing new:
Jace is a little Mommas boy, he has been laughing a lot and eating so much lately, hes trying to catch up to his little brother Liam who is just on a roll in the gaining weight department! lol Hes rolling and holding his head up very well, to me it seems like there closer to crawling than they are sitting up? He doesnt like to sleep as much towards his last nap so we may be going down to two naps a day soon, which is fine with me as long as there not crabby and still sleeping through the night!
Liam is just a little ham, theres not better word to describe him lately. Hes always happy and loves his brother and sister, maybe a little too much! Lately he has been rolling over on top of them getting in there faces and wanting to play or take whatever toy they are playing with and Jace and Stella get a little annoyed! lol its so funny to watch, we have thought this from the time they came home Liam will probably be the first to crawl and walk!
Stella for sure has the biggest personality! She has so many faces, voices, laughs, smiles, dirty looks, its just hilarious! She always is making us laugh. We should probably stop (I dont want to give her a big head or make her think the world revolves around her) but I started singing instead of its a small world after all, its a Stella world after all, lol thats how she always acts! She likes to eat but if she hears someone talking or the tv is on she wants nothing to do with her food, shes very nosy! Maybe its a girl thing? lol
I posted this on facebook but I have to share with those that dont have one, Rick and I were talking about Mothers Day and he wanted to remind me that I am NOT his Mother and that he was going to have to check Jace, Liam, and Stellas bank account to see what they can afford to get me for Mothers day, lol As I am writting this my door bell rang and it was the florist delivering a corsage for Mothers Day to wear to church from Jace, Liam, Stella, and Rick. So at least they could afford that! ;) Hope everyone has a blessed Mothers Day weekend, and Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms!!!
p.s. Jace got to go work with Daddy last week so I have to share these pictures:

8 Months Old!!!
Today the babies turned 8 months old! Its not that long of a time but in a babies world so much happens in that short time! The babies are all growing and getting stronger day by day...they are all rolling over, holding there heads up and trying to sit up better and better. They LOVE to always have a toy in there hands and LOVE to put everything in there mouth still, they are having to learn to share already because they each want whatever toy they dont have, its really funny to watch one toy go from one baby to the next to the next, Stella is still the most vocal and I am not sure that is ever going to change! lol Here is a couple recent pictures from there 7 month and 8 month pictures I took...
Best picture of all 3! haha

Easter 2011
We had Auntie Janie and Uncle Nick, Dylon, Shaylon, Brooklon, Jake, Lori, Jarred and Bre over for Easter lunch. We brought the babies to church (stayed in the cry room again) and spent the rest of the day eating, looking for eggs, eating,just hanging out and eating some more =). It was the most beautiful day since we have lived here yet! I dont think that was a coincidence being Easter Sunday either! We serve a RISEN God who lives in the hearts of His people! We are very thankful for Jesus dyeing on the cross and rising from the dead, conquering death 3 days later just like He said he would! All to save the people who accept Him as there SAVIOR! We hope and pray everyone else had a great Easter!

6/7 Month Check up
(Just got home from the Drs.)
So the babies had there 6 month check up (but they are really 7 months) with there new Dr. in Yakima. I took the babies and we were only a half hour late, lol partly because Jace threw up right before we had to leave all over the couch and partly because I thought the appointment was at 9:30 but it was really at 9:15, (who makes an appointment at 9:15?) so in my world I was only 15 minutes late but in the real world a half hour ;( I promised them I wouldnt be that late again! Anyways they took us right in, they weighed all the babies:Jace- 12#1oz 24 1/2 inches long
Liam- 13#1oz 25 inches long
Stella- 12#4oz 24 inches long
They have gained over 3 pounds since there last appointment which is more then what they weighed when they were born! Thats just crazy to me! The Dr.s said there in the 1 percentile for size (oh except Stellas head is in the 20th percentile, lol we already knew she has a big head ;) ) this is for a full term 7 month old so since there really only supposed to be 4 1/2 months old they obviously have a lot of catching up to do...she said they may be smaller till there about 2 years old...I really loved the Dr. she went to school in New York and is just starting out, she said her and her husband like the small town feeling so they decided to move out here, (dont you think New York to Washington is kinda random?) she said the babies dont look small they look healthy and she was amazed that they were doing so well being born at 29 weeks not having any surgeries or being on any medication. They eyes, heads, lungs, hearts all looked well to her so that was great to hear! They are rolling over a lot more than 2 weeks ago and starting to grab a lot! We are still feeding 4 times a day and eating bananas, sweet potatoes, yams, pears, apples 2 times a day...I thought feeding bottles was hard! lol The babies are drooling and chewing on everything so I am pretty sure there in the beginning stages of teething but no teethers yet! ;)
The weather has been great here, this whole week its been in the 70's. I took the babies to a nursery a couple miles away to walk around and look for some plants I wanted to plant around the house since I am pretty sure there will be no more snow this year...I am signing off for now, we miss everyone and hope to see all soon! God Bless!

Life...pictures and videos ;)
The babies have been doing so much lately I always keep my video camera in the living room so I can quick grab it, having it on my phone makes it that much easier to catch all these new little memories! I know I have a lot of family that checks my blog so I thought I would share a couple...
First here is a picture that I already posted on facebook, so if you have already seen it sorry to repeat it but I went to Target last week with the 3 babies which to me is no big deal, apparently everyone at Target thought it was! People were staring in the parking lot, the security guard had to tell me about his niece that has twins but NOT triplets! lol the lady when I walked in who was talking very loudly and I think didnt know I could hear says WOW that looks like a lot of work, then there is the lady that was working the cash register that I checked out in...she said oh this deserves a picture! lol so I gave her my phone and she snapped this:
So I got in the car after a couple more looks and looked at the picture, I just started laughing out loud fand thought to myself I guess I would have starred too! haha The babies really are good babies, the hardest part of the whole ordeal is getting them in and out of the car, and to me its worth it to get what I need! You can only get so many things online! :)

First comes Love, then comes MARRIAGE, then comes 3 babies in a baby carriage! =)
Rick and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary on the 13th! Our Aunt and Uncle and two cousins came over to our house to babysit while Rick and I went to celebrate! I would call where we live wine country, within 40 miles from our house there are about 60 wineries or more...so we were going to go check them out and then go out to dinner, we went to one winery Coyote Canyon Vineyards and it was so cool...all there glasses and all around there winery were these pictures of 3 wooden crosses so of course I asked them what are these 3 crosses for? The man said we share our faith of Jesus Cross through these crosses that they built themselves up on there vineyards, he said everyone asked what they are for and we share the gospel with them right here! I was almost crying I thought it was the coolest thing ever! So anyways they told us about this progressive dinner they were having that night so Rick and I ended up staying there for dinner, we met a couple people and had a GREAT dinner it was a lot of fun!
At my friends Baby Shower back in July one of my friends started off the baby shower with a beautiful devotion and she said I bet you didnt think when Rick and you got married one day you would have triplets! I think about that often because it is so true! When people say God doesnt answer my prayers I always laugh because God ALWAYS answers prayers they just may not be in your timing or your way! lol Rick and I knew we wanted to have children one day but we wanted to wait a couple years after getting married, I always wanted a lot of children, I was always petrified to go through childbirth (I had a c-section), I always said I wanted at least one boy and one girl! HAHA in just 7 short months God answered ALL of those prayers BUT in HIS timing! There were days, months, and years when I thought common God are you serious!? What are you waiting for! God is still teaching me patience! You would think after everything I would be the patience queen but I stills struggle with this area and God is daily working on me! ;)
Ok enough of my thoughts... The babies are doing SO good! Jace, Liam , and Stella have all rolled over now! Liam rolled over February 24th, Stella rolled over right on her 6 month birthday the 26th of Feb. and Jace rolled over on March 19th and has been rolling over the most ever since, I put him on his back and came back and he was on his stomach! I said Jace you rolled over!!! I put him back on his back came back a minute later and he was on his stomach again! lol Anyways I know rolling over isnt a huge milestone but to me it really is!!! They are getting so active, they LOVE to play with there toys, they put EVERYTHING in there mouth! I think they are in the early stages of teething! We feed them 4 times a day now, 8am, 12pm, 4pm, and then again at 8. I have been putting rice cereal in there night bottles for a couple months now so just last week I started putting it in there morning bottle and I think they all of a sudden had a growth spurt because they went from barely eating there bottles to downing them in 10 minutes and crying in between feedings so I thought maybe they are ready for solid food! So I made them some yams and sweet potatoes and they loved them! I have given them apples and bananas as well...Its so cute, Stella usually just spits 90% of it out, Jace probably gets the most in his mouth and Liam opens his mouth every time but gets about 50% in there! haha We feed them at 8pm and there usually in bed by 9pm, then I wake them again one at a time at 8am for breakfast! We have there 6 (they will really be 7 months) check-up on the 30th so I am SO anxious to see how much they weigh and how tall they have gotten, I will be sure to update everyone! God Bless everyone!

The babies turned 6 months old on the 26th! I cant believe how fast time is going! I had all these cute ideas for there 6 month pictures and it came so fast, we were in the middle of moving and I didnt have outfits for them but I still took pictures, Bre and Lori were here so we would quick change the babies before they would start to get crabby, lol...here are a couple of pictures of there nursery also...(I havent figured out how to use my camera yet I always get a shadow)
I am posting more pictures of the babies on facebook cause its easier to download my pictures on there...we miss everyone! I will keep the pictures coming, I love facebook and blogging so we can keep up with everyone else also! God Bless!
Love Rick and Sheryl
