Mother's Day 2007

Happy Mother's Day out there to all of you mothers! What a wonderful feeling it is to be a Mom. Words cannot honestly describe what it feels like. What an awesome responsibility God has given me by bringing these 3 precious children into my life. We had a wonderful day. Amazing what you can acomplish before 8am ... 3 babies fed and bathed and down for their first nap of the day. Dad and I even had time to sit outside and have a 15 minute cup of coffee! Throw in an hour of house cleaning, Mom and Dad finishing getting themselves ready for church, waking up 3 babies and dressing them all for church ... in the van and out of the garage ... all by 9:30am! Gone are the lazy days where I would sleep in and then lay around on a Saturday reading my book. I look back with a kind of fondness, not sadness ... like how you remember an old friend. And I look forward to the many wonderful adventures Al and I will share with our children!!!

Mommy's new heart-shaped locket (from Dad and babies) to fill with pictures of the babies and Dad!
Hand and feet print molds of Jackson, Addison and William. Dad and Miss Kelly worked really hard to keep Mommy from finding out about this big suprise! Thanks to Miss Kelly and her helpers ... Miss Summer and Miss Beth!
Hand impression of all 3!!
Mommy's very own links to keep forever! I love them just like the babies love theirs!
OK--this isn't from Mother's Day ... but was so cute I had to put it in here and I was quite honestly too lazy to do a separate post! William is already a coffee addict ... not really! I just let him hold the empty glass, but boy oh boy does he want some!

At least one post in April!!!

What is it they say about the path to heaven being paved with good intentions? Well, I intended to do a better job keeping up with this blog. Somehow (don't ask me!) 3 babies, a husband, a dog and a full-time job keep getting in the way of regular posts! So here you go ... April ... the month in pictures! My-oh-my how quickly they grow!

Jackson wants Mommy's bacon!

Their first Easter! Check out their cute baskets. Of course, I had to help them eat their peeps!

All 5 of us that the Netherton's house after Church on Easter!

Kelly with the babies (everybody needs a Kelly!!) on Easter

William and Addison arm wrestling! Jackson looking at William having a "come apart" as my mom would say! The boys just hanging out before William's come apart.

W, A, and J just chillin'! W, A, and J

W, A and J
They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery! Who is imitating who?
They love their carrots! J, A, and W
The following set of pictures lets you see how much work really goes into getting these cute photos. Especially the ones of all 5 of us when we are taking them ourselves!
Babies everywhere! W and A falling down.
W and A on the decline ...
It is starting to fall apart! Jackson breaking away ...
There goes W again!
Somehow we pulled it all together! Of course, only Mom and Dad are looking at the camera. They need someone standing there making funny faces at them so they will look at the camera!
NICU reunion day! Look at all the triplets!

We went to the Dallas Arboretum with two sets of twins from our multiples class. It was a lot of fun and a beautiful day to be there. Of course, with 7 babies, we drew a lot of attention. One woman even hiked 1/2 way across the Arboretum to see the babies. Then she said all the baies were the best flowers in the place! I agree!

Allie and Brooke and their parents (see link to their blog on our site). They are identical twins ... and I definitely can't tell them apart!
Peyton and Lainey and their parents (see link to their blog as well). They are not sure if they are identical or not, but they look just alike as well!
So how did we get 3 very different babies!!!!! The end of a long day! We are losing Jackson!
