Spring into Summer!

Hello! We have had an action pact Spring and look forward to our summer filled with games and change! April was a fabulous month with a trip to MN from Aunt Lori and her three boys from Omaha! The kids adore their cousins and a great time was had by all! Later in the month, we flew with Charlie and Tommy to their cousin, Nick's, First Communion in Denver. It was a fun-filled weekend with Addie's 2nd birthday party and Nick's big day, along with hotel parties and flag football games. We savored our time with the big boys and they deserved the special weekend away :) May was also a very special month for our family. We celebrated another dear cousin, Becca's, First Communion, Charlie started Spring soccer and had his Spring program at school, we went to Des Moines to visit Grandma and Grandpa for Mother's Day, bought a home and we sold our home! It was a whirlwind of a month and we look forward to the month of July when we are moved and settled :) Although we love, love, love our home, it was inevitable that the triplets need space and our Ellie girl needs a princess room of her own. We now have a nice, flat backyard and our first order of business is to install a basketball court for our ball-loving tribe! Daddy, Charlie and Tommy also enjoyed a Twin's game this month at Target Field! The boys were able to run the bases after the game and were also given a Joe Mauer practice ball during this fun-filled day! Tommy graduated from Kindergarten this June and we celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa. It is truly hard to believe how fast our little ones grow and that this school year is now over. Tommy had a great year and I look forward to a fun filled summer with the kids! We know summer is here when bedtimes get a little bit (okay... a lot!) relaxed, we play outside all day long, our evenings consist of soccer and baseball and backyard games, and the ICE CREAM TRUCK drives down our street!!!!! Oh NO!!! We missed the ice cream truck and Daddy tried to flag him down!!!! HORRAY!!!!!!!! HAPPY SUMMER!!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Andy, Luke and Ellie!

Our trio turned three on March 15 and we celebrated with a family party, a friend party and an extended Auge family birthday party/Easter celebration!

February Fun!

Winter is on the downslide and we have enjoyed our time in the snow! Sledding, skating, shoveling and building snowmen have entertained us for hours! Tim escaped the cold to visit his parents in Florida this month. Grandma Sheila also visited from Arizona and joined us in play and was, as always, a joy and tremendous help! Our Ellie is now potty trained and Luke is close to follow. Little Andy Man is the biggest cheerleader when it comes to his siblings going on the big potty, but he is not ready to join in on the fun quite yet :) The age of three for our three is just around the corner...and it is truly so hard for me to believe. My babies (who I will always call my babies) are soon to be preschoolers! Ellie is still all about pink, purple and babies and she desires a birthday cake to resemble her favorite colors and Cinderella. Andy is our green lover (anything green) and has really taken a love to choo-choo trains. Lukie is our blue guy that adores his siblings and goofing around to get his audience to laugh! Charlie and Tommy continue to enjoy fun activities at school -especially during Catholic Schools Week and the 100th day of school. The Kindergarten class was to wear a shirt with 100 things on it and Tommy decorated his shirt with 100 Star Wars Legos character stickers! He is still our lover of Legos and likes getting out in the snow. Charlie finished up his basketball camp this month and is looking forward to spring basketball and soccer! Charlie and Tommy have started swimming lessons this month and we have all enjoyed our time at the pool as a family to swim and play :) Happy Spring!

Welcome 2013!

Happy New Year! Another year has come and gone and the Auge clan is doing well and growing by the day! We celebrated New Year's Eve with many of our close friends and enjoyed a long, fun evening. Charlie and Tommy ventured onto the ice rink with their buddies and now have ice skates of their own. This is a skill that we hope to continue working on as the winter months are still upon us (Brrrr!). Along with learning to ice skate, Charlie and Tommy also experienced bowling for the first time this month!

Ellie and I enjoyed a "girls" getaway to visit my parents in Arizona during my birthday weekend. We had such a fabulous vacation and enjoyed every minute of our time with Grandma and Grandpa! It was such a breeze traveling with my little princess and she really took in the fun sites, shopping, and dining that Scottsdale has to offer!

Tim held the fort down with the boys while the girls were away and appreciated visits from his siblings and our boys had a great time playing with cousins!

Charlie and Tommy started Little Dribblers this month and enjoy time on the court and time with their friends. Daddy is a coach for both teams and could not be happier watching his boys share in his love for the game!

December 2012

The holiday season has arrived and we are immersed in the joys and beauty of this special time of year. With Christmas upon us, we are ever so thankful for our families and friends and appreciate all of the special times in which we gather together. We celebrated Christmas with our families a little early this year and the magical moments will be forever treasured!

Today we enjoyed Tommy's Kindergarten Christmas mass at school. The spirit of the season was definitely conveyed during this precious and moving ceremony :)

Two of the most anticipated events in December involve basketball games and playing in the snow. The kids were elated to have the first big snow fall on a Sunday where the kids were able to play together, shovel and build snowmen!

Tim took Charlie and Tommy to their first Gopher basketball game of the season this month, too!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
