The boys turned 21 last Saturday!
They had already picked out their gifts earlier and I got them
some new clothes, shoes and slippers.
But they had a few little gifts to unwrap just for fun tonight!
If you think of the guys tomorrow morning, I'd appreciate it!
They each have a dentist appointment. The Mister is helping
me take them. Pray for calm, cooperative boys and smooth
visits, would you? Any time I ask my blog friends to pray
for us in stressful situations, it never fails to help!
Thanks so much..you guys are the best!
**update...we're home from the dentist!
No cavities! Things went smoothly except Spencer
needs to go back again for some additional cleaning
under anesthesia. Today was fairly calm with no
melt downs, so I'm grateful. Thanks for praying!
♥
I'll be praying. You can count on me.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures.
Me too, Betsy♥️
DeleteThanks, ladies :)
DeleteThese are really lovely pictures!:)
ReplyDeleteOf course we will pray.Poor boy I dont like dentists stress me!
Yes, me too!
DeleteYes Sometimes Im more stressing than kids:)
DeleteSure I will pray dear!
I will as well, best of luck,,,
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurie....I know it will help!
DeleteLovely party! Will be sending smooooooth thoughts tomorrow.
ReplyDeletePlease pray for us too as we have had such a sad day in our country. xo
yes, it is a sad day....been listening to the news all day. ....hugs and prayers...
DeleteThank you,
DeleteHappy Birthday to your guys!! They seem very intrigued by the cake (or is it the candles?!). I can't figure out who is who but just love them all!
ReplyDeleteSending many prayers for tomorrow. Who likes the dentist or is calm but I appreciate that you need a few extra angels!
Jane xxx
Thanks, Jane....I appreciate it!
DeleteIt's the candles...none of them eat sweets. So they love the singing and the blowing out of the candles and then they ripped open their presents and were gone in a flash. haha....the rest of us sat around the table and talked and ate. haha.
So instead of asking them what they want for their birthday cake I guess you make a dessert that YOU like?
DeleteMost years I make a big cake and decorate it with trains...so at least they enjoy looking at it. But yeah, we're the ones that eat it. ha.
DeleteHappy Birthday to your boys! Sending prayers your way!
ReplyDeletethank you....it was so much appreciated!
DeleteVery Big 21st Birthday wishes to Alex, Spencer & Harry. I'm sure they had an amazing day. I wish you all the best at the dental appointment tomorrow. Warm wishes to all....Kath :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kath....always great to see your beautiful face here! :)
Deletei hope all goes well at the dentist...smiles
ReplyDeleteand happy birthday to the boys....
We did survive...thanks, bri...
DeleteHappy birthday to your guys!
ReplyDeletePrayers for a good morning for all!
Thanks, J....I appreciated all the prayers...and could feel them, too! I was amazingly calm and the guys were, too...only God can give that!
DeleteA lovely celebration, happy birthday to the boys and prayers will be heading your way for the dental appointment.
ReplyDeleteThey did great, Denise...thanks so much for praying!
DeleteLooks like you all had a nice get together for the boys. Hope all goes well tomorrow. Good that The Mister will be going with you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was great to have him along....I usually tackle these things myself! ha.
DeleteKneeling, hands folded, eye's closed ... Consider it done. The boys look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Woonie...much appreciated!
DeleteA great big Happy Birthday to those boys of yours! I love seeing the different reactions each of them have with the candles and presents! :) How fun to get to celebrate in your beautiful "new" diningroom, too! :)
ReplyDeletePraying for those dental appts.!
It was nice to have that dining room look lovely! Just need the new chandelier and a couple new chairs in there and that room is done!
DeleteWe're nearing the finish!
thanks for praying for the boys, too!
Hi Betsy - sounds like a wonderful evening and cleverly put together ... lovely having Taylor and Lauren with you. Now very good luck for today and that dentist trip .... and I do hope it's accomplished peacefully and quietly .... with thoughts ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteit's always fun to have Taylor and Lauren...when the rest of your kids are nonverbal, it's nice to just sit and chat and catch up with each other!
DeleteWhat sweet photos! Thanks for letting us know about the prayer need; I am praying now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan...I appreciate it and prayers were felt...we survived! :)
DeleteI sincerely hope that everything goes well at the dentists. Nice to see the boys enjoying their little party
ReplyDeleteThings did go well...thanks for thinking of us. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing the Birthday party photos, hard to believe that they are 21 already! I'm getting something ready for Kevin's birthday so I'm also going through old photos and came across one of the times I helped out with the boys, I think they were around 2 years old, what sweet faces they had even back then! I am praying right now for the Dentist appointments...I don't even enjoy going!
ReplyDeleteI hate the dentist! ha.
DeleteIt's morning, so I'm praying now!
ReplyDeleteI could feel it! :)
DeleteThoughts are coming your way. Can you feel them?
ReplyDeleteI certainly could....I felt a peace that everything would be fine. The boys were cooperative, too...for the most part. ha.
DeleteBeautiful pics! You have young men! Glad the dentist visit was mostly great. dentist visits are never fun. I wish I would be anesthesia. :-)
DeleteDear Betsy, I prayed for you and the boys before I started this comment...the dentist can be a challenge. Happy Birthday to the triplets too! looks like a wonderful party!
ReplyDeleteWe did have a nice little dinner/party. And thanks for the prayers....I could feel them!
Deletepraying for the very best appointments!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to YOU. after all, you delivered triplets twenty-one years ago.
the kitchen looks lovely. congratulations and enjoy.
Janice also mentioned that it was a celebration for me, too....and I love that thought. ..remembering that for coming years. :)
DeleteLooks like a fun little celebration indeed
ReplyDeleteAs they get a few extra gifts at your feed
Hopefully the dentist goes really well
Hate sitting though that hell
I hate it, too
Deletejust like you!
They did pretty well
and even acted swell!
As I sit here writing you all are probably at the dentist. Praying all goes well. Happy Birthday to the boys.
ReplyDeleteI loved the pic of you with all your babies 21 years ago. Hoping today the words are calm and accomplished.
Taria
We survived...thanks, Taria. :)
DeleteHarry, Spencer, and Alex - Happy Belated Birthday! May you be blessed with many, many more.
ReplyDeleteThe birthday celebration pictures are precious.
You may be at the dentist as I type - I hope and pray that it's a pleasant visit.
Can't help but notice how attractive your home is.
I love the pictures and the arched doorway. And I think I spot your new floor!
Yep...a little glimpse of the floor...which we are loving btw. We probably appreciate it even more after living on plywood for a few weeks! ha.
DeleteThank you for praying for the boys, too.
Aww what nice Betsy! Im really happy all goes ok with the boys.
ReplyDeleteIm glad the prayers work:)
Yes, it went fine...but I'm glad it's over! ha.
DeleteGlad the day went well for the boys' birthday party - looked like a good time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteAnd I did pray for the boys at the dentist ~ and was so pleased the visit passed without too much stress for them. Shame Spencer needs to go back but I for one will pray for him again . . . .
Yeah, it's a shame about Spencer, but I predicted that would happen. ha. I just know him! He kept trying to get out of the chair! ha.
DeleteI can hear in my mind your kind reassuring voice to Spencer giving him some confidence . . . :)
DeleteHappy that the celebration and the dentist visit both went well.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! :)
DeleteBtw, time to change the sidebar to read "a set of triplets, age 21." Ha.
DeleteSuch a special day...21! Looks like some family fun, and a good report from the dentist.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe, really...the autism makes them seem so much younger!
DeleteGlad to hear that all went well for your trio. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hilary...I am , too!
DeleteOops, I am a day late - well happy belated birthday anyway. I am glad to hear the dentist trip went well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn....a happy day and we survived the dentist. We're thankful! :)
DeleteSorry, too late to add my prayers but glad all went well at the dentist. I hate going too! How lovely to have a celebratory event in your beautiful new room.
ReplyDeleteI love when you post about your "five men".
ReplyDeleteI always wonder what they are thinking in each photo.
Your family is amazing.
Such special photos of the boys' birthday celebration..Happy Birthday to them! I had a few tears in my eyes just looking at the photos, reminds me so much of my son. Happy that the dentist appt went well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful birthday for the three of them and such a great family who is always there for them. It was a special day for them.
