Sometimes
life surprises you!
All I ever wanted was to be a Mother.
But as child-less years ticked by, I accepted my role as 'the fun auntie'. Then one day.....
God turned my world upside down!
They blew into my life like a tropical storm.
And things have never been the same.
(Thank goodness)
And suddenly they are five!
Where did the years go?
I should be happy, but I find myself hugging them a 100 times a day, sometimes with a tear rolling down my cheek.
What will they wish for when they blow out their candles tomorrow?
My wish is for the next 5 years to go by very slowly.
Happy Birthday Lily, Philip & Owen!

Happy birthday to your babies!
It is funny how life works and how it changes everything after they arrive in your life. I can't imagine three my one is hard enough to watch grow so fast in front of my eyes. This time does fly by and it is crazy to think of them as that tiny little one you brought home or three :)
Congrats and let the tears roll!
Amy

Oh Sweet Lisa! I can so relate. We waited, prayed and tried everything to have a child. When we finally submitted our will to God, He blessed us with our first son (through adoption). Then, 2 1/2 years later, I birthed our triplets! He does work in mysterious ways. At the end of the month our trio will be off to kindergarten. The days are long but the years have flown by. We are a happy, blessed few.
xoxo, Rebecca

What a precious post. LOVE that sonogram! Keep hugging them, every day! I still hug on my 21 and 16 year olds, sometimes with tears welling up in my eyes........the time just goes by so quickly.
Aren't they just the cutest kidos ever! You definitely have your hands full and I know you love every minute! Happy Birthday, Lily, Philip and Owen! You guys have a pretty cool mom; just say'in!
Wishing your trio a Happy 5th birthday! I love the names you gave to them.
I'm soooooooo happy for you!
Happy Birthday Mommie to your sweet darling triplets. They are absolutely adorable.
Lily, Philip and Owen are the cutest names to go with their sweet faces. They are so lucky to have you as their Mom.
hugs
Sissie
Happy Birthday to your amazing threesome!!! I know what you mean...my only grandson is 5 & starts kindergarten in a week. I'm crying too. I know I will sob if I go with him & Mommy to the school, so I think I'll stay away for a bit. It seems like YESTERDAY to me, that I took her to her 1st day of kindergarten. Arghhhhhhh
Why do our baby's have to grow so darn fast??? :)
Have a fantabulous day!!!
Smiles,
Susie
Hi Lisa. Happy Birthday to your beautiful children. Yay!! Have a great weekend.
They are just adorable soon to be 5 year olds!
How amazing! I know what you mean about being the fun aunt and the growing too fast! My 5 year old nephew started school this year and I WAS more sad than mys sister! He is my bitty buddy but not any more! Have a great birthday tomorrow and you can try not feeding them, but I think they will grow anyway ;)
Hugs, Lisa
Lisa - You are so very blest! Your children are absolutely beautiful! I absolutely love to see photos of your children - their sweet smiles just make my day! LOVE this post!

What gorgeous babies you have!!! How delightful to be turning five.......and three times the trouble!!!
They look adorable, so happy and I love the tutu on Lily's head!
Have a happy birthday three times over!!!!
Hugs,
Margaret B
Sweetheart...hang on tightly and then even tighter because sadly once they start school, the years really do rush by. Savor each moment...journal it...photograph it and keep the memories close. They are precious dollbabies and God has triple blessed you. I'm always amazed at His perfect timing.
I envy you for what the years ahead hold. I miss my babies being babies and I truly miss the school years. You are going to have a blast...you'll be the coolest home room mother ever.
Happy Birthday time three!
Debbie
Oh my gosh, you have three Leos?? There must be some drama at your house!!
Happy birthday to each and every one of them!
They do grow up fast..That is a blessing I would say. I always prayed that I would have a son first so when I had a daughter she would have an older brother...well God must have heard an echo and he gave me 8 sons and then the girl but I had to have them 1 at a time :)
Awwww, my little niece and nephews are having a birthday!
Tell them that their COOL Auntie Anne wishes them a birthday with all the toys and cake they can handle! ;-)
Love to y'all!
Anne
Your kids are so darn cute- and you are so wise to enjoy each and every day with them instead of saying "someday, when they're older..."
(like, some day, when they're older, they'll be able to clean the top of the refrigerator, and dust the ceiling fans- just enjoy that it's easy for them to wash the floor because they're closer to it than you)
Sweet and precious!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your cute little kids, Lisa! I'm sure you'll make it a wonderful and exciting day for them to remember.
Have a great weekend :-)!
Hugs to you,
Julia
Wish I could tell you that the time would go slower, but as they get older and in SCHOOL, the time will start flying. Anyway that was how it was with my kids, after they started to school. Seems like yesterday they were little tots like yours and Sept. 5th my baby will be 47. So enjoy every minute you can and make all the memories you can, they grow up soooo fast.
I hope you all have the best birthday ever and may all your wishes come true.
Love and Hugs,
Pat
Oh Lisa, they are so cute!! Happy birthday to all! Blessings~~~Daphne

Won't happen honey!!!! Don't blink!!!! But, tell the little buggers Charlene said Happy Birthday & it's OK they'll always be your babies!!!! Heck my "bouncing baby boy" is 6'8" & 430 pounds but, he's still my baby. I MISS YOU! HUGS! Charlene
Three little Darlings.. Aren't they so cute...The time goes by so so FAst.. My son just turned 15...Im now slowly teaching and letting him pull the car into the drive way... His cell phone he got when he graduated 6th grade still has his message (This is Cody's Cell) in his 6th grade baby voice. BOY does it not sound like that now- His voice is totally deep and man like.
I call his phone just to listen to that voice,..
Take Lots &Lots of Pictures of those little gems...
As Always LOVing Your Blog

Oh, as a mom, I know what you're saying, Lisa! Too many years 'way past 5 for me! If I tell you how old my first born is, I'll pretty much give away my age so I'll tell you that the "baby" is 34. And this is one proud mom.
Hugs!! Diane
Hi Lisa,
Happy 5th birthday to your darling sweet children.
The years do go by so quickly.
Have a lovely weekend and I hope that you all have an exciting day.
Hugs
Carolyn
Happy birthday to the most beautiful triplets in the entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't imagine the joy these three sweethearts bring into your life! Well...I kindda can. I know that I loved every day with my children when they were young. And now I enjoy every day with them now that they are grown. What an amazing thing motherhood is!
You know that I think you are Supermom right???? Yes...I KNOW you are Supermom...but, I would still love to see the cape!
Someday I will get to Texas to meet you and you will show me how you create such amazing artwork.
Let me ask...do you wear your cape while creating or do you take it off for that?
hugs to you from here...
Happy Birthday to my three Angels!!
Did ya'll save me some cake?
And some ice cream too?
And what about one of those party hats and noise makers?
um hum.
I'm all pouty here 'cause your Mom didn't invite me to the birthday party. But that's okay because if I'd have went, I'd have ate all of the cake and ice cream. I would have even eyed your gifts so maybe it's best I just stayed over here and sent all my love, hugs and kisses to my favorite threesome in the world :))))
Love Auntie Jodie!!!!
Kids...call me and tell me what your wishes were!!! ;)
Tell Mom that I'm lonesome for her too~
You made me cry...
Happy Birthday to your little angels!
I only have them in my dreams now.
but they gift you with little wonderful angels again!
Love you
Rebecca

They are beautiful kids, Lisa. You are so blessed. I lost twins late in pregnancy and I always have a really warm feeling about other's multiples. I have one daughter, my dear Kat, and we have had thirteen other assorted exchange students, exchange teachers, college students, etc. etc. live with us so I feel very blessed to but in a different way.
I am so happy you have your beautiful triplets. I know that having babies isn't always so easy for some of use and I am glad you were blessed!
Hugs,
Suz
Sometimes God turns our life's upside down in the most spectacular ways! Sure looks like He did that for you five years ago!!
