For Taylor and Nick Newberry, it’s no surprise that life centers around their three daughters — Ada, Willa and Georgia — eight-year-old fraternal triplets who have, in many ways, redefined everything. “They’ve changed everything for the better,” shared Taylor.

It’s a simple sentiment, but one that carries the weight of a journey that was anything but easy. Their story, however, begins long before the girls — and even before the two of them ever considered a romantic relationship. In many ways, it all started with the great American game of baseball.

Growing up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Nick and Taylor’s lives quietly overlapped. Nick played baseball — first as a competitor and eventually as a teammate of Taylor’s older brother — while she spent countless hours at games, paying little attention to the boys. It was the kind of proximity that felt incidental at the time, but in hindsight, seems almost inevitable.

“I was oblivious to everyone,” recalled Taylor, laughing at the memory of herself as a young girl. Nick, admittedly, noticed her — but not in a way that would suggest what was to come. He was quiet, focused on sports and not particularly inclined toward small talk. Although only four months apart in age, their childhood interactions were minimal and largely forgotten.

Baseball, however, remained a defining part of Nick’s early life. He went on to play at the collegiate level at the University of North Alabama, where he was recruited as a catcher and even drew attention at the professional level — receiving late-round draft interest and additional opportunities after college — before ultimately choosing to build his life back in Texas.

Taylor, equally driven, pursued athletics through gymnastics and competitive cheer before earning her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, followed by a Master’s in Healthcare Administration from Texas Woman’s University. With early aspirations of becoming a physical therapist, she worked in the medical field before life — and motherhood — shifted her path in a new direction.

Years later, after college had taken them down different paths, their story found its way back through something as simple as a Facebook message. “He likes to say that I messaged him first, but I, a thousand percent, did not,” said Taylor.

“I was sliding into her DMs,” confirmed Nick jokingly. He doesn’t exactly remember why he first reached out — only that he didn’t have her phone number — but what followed was far more important. The reconnection quickly evolved into something meaningful, as the two built a strong friendship and foundation for something real, even in their early twenties. By the time Nick picked Taylor up from the airport, the familiarity between them was undeniable. “It felt like we’d already been seeing each other,” admitted Taylor.

Their early relationship was defined by distance and discipline. Nick’s work in the oil field required him to be away for long stretches — sometimes home only a handful of days out of the year — but instead of creating distance, it reinforced their commitment.

“I think the thing that saved us is we talked every day,” explained Taylor. “We built our relationship on communication.” Nick agreed, “Communication.” 

That same discipline would later define Nick’s path in business. What started as a modest idea between friends — initially intended to generate enough extra income to support their hunting hobby — quickly evolved into something far greater. At a pivotal moment, a savvy friend who had built his own business from a garage into a multi-million-dollar company stepped in with the financial backing they needed, offering a simple but telling vote of confidence. “Yeah man, you’re country boys — everyone knows country boys always pay their bills,” Nick remembered him saying.

From there, the business grew organically. Long days turned into longer stretches away from home, as Nick spent years traveling, building relationships and steadily expanding what would eventually become two successful production rental companies in the oil and gas industry, driven in part by his proprietary technology.

Neither Nick nor Taylor grew up with silver spoons, but what they did inherit was a strong work ethic — and a whole lot of tried-and-true Texas grit. “Everything you do has your name attached to it,” explained Nick. “I just try to put my best effort forward in everything I do.”

That philosophy continues to shape not only his approach to business, but also the way he and Taylor raise their daughters. If hard work defines one part of their story, tenacity defines another.

Starting a family proved far more complex and heartbreaking than either anticipated. The couple was elated to be expecting their first child, but complications from Turner Syndrome at four months brought the experience to an end. “I had to have a D & C, which almost took my life, and we were eventually told we would never be able to have kids naturally,” shared Taylor. After experiencing loss after loss — something Taylor notes is often left unspoken — they made the difficult decision to pursue fertility treatments. What followed was something no one could have predicted: triplets. “When the doctor told us [as he was looking at the monitor] there was three, Nick disagreed, ‘No, there’s only two,’” Taylor recalled.

In fact, there were three siblings sharing their mother’s womb. When they were born, they arrived just seconds — barely a minute — apart, yet each with a distinct personality all their own. “The saying holds true — third times a charm! And the number 3 was something that liked to stick around!” mused Taylor.

The early days were, understandably, a blur of schedules, sleepless nights and constant motion. With no family nearby, Nick and Taylor quickly learned to adapt, creating systems that allowed them not just to manage, but to thrive. “It didn’t take long for us to realize we were going to be exhausted,” said Taylor, explaining the decision to hire night nurses. “But the nurses were the biggest blessing,” she added.

Today, Nick and Taylor have three vivacious — and at times strong-willed — young girls. Ada, athletic and fearless, can often be found right by Nick’s side. She’s hands-on, competitive and always ready for whatever comes next. Georgia brings a quieter, more thoughtful energy, with a creative mind and natural curiosity. While Willa, the most tender of the three, leads with emotion and empathy.

“Willa, she’s my kryptonite,” confided Nick. “She’s just so sweet.”

“She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body,” agreed Taylor.

Together, they form a dynamic that is as lively as it is deeply connected — competitive, playful and constantly evolving. “Full meltdown if one loses,” laughed Nick.

But beneath the laughter is a strong sense of structure. “We’re not soft parents — we’re realistic,” Taylor said. For Nick, that means accountability, discipline and an old-world sense of respect that sometimes feels forgotten. For Taylor, it’s about balance — ensuring each child feels seen and supported. Life, as she describes it, is “organized chaos.”

Two years ago, the Newberry family made the move to Cordillera Ranch, bringing both logistical ease and a renewed sense of community. With their ranch just a few hours away, Nick can remain connected to work while still being present for the everyday moments that matter most. “Now, he can go down there while the girls are in school and still be home for dinner,” she noted.

However, the other deciding factor was Boerne ISD’s Dual Language program. The girls had already been attending Spanish school for two years as preschoolers, and Nick and Taylor wanted to continue that education beginning in Kinder. “They are in the program through 5th grade! And are fluent in Spanish. Something that will largely be beneficial to them throughout their life,” said Nick 

Today, their lives revolve around the girls’ activities — golf, tennis, pickleball, horseback riding, soccer, flag football, jiu-jitsu, gymnastics, swimming, D1 training and more. “They’re into everything,” said Taylor.
