Where did you pick them up from? They look to be jungle albinos(hard to tell what kind of albino without an eye shot. They also look very light colored too.
I'm a little confused now, because these guys came from a trio, so I posted a picture of the possible parents and tried to get pics of eyes of the babies too. Any thoughts are appreciated..thanks guys. Hmmm...I'm going to throw in a couple of more babies to see what you think they might be and which parents they came from. Thanks!

Two of your parents look like jungles and one looks like a hypo. The male is obviously het albino(most likely tremper albino) and atleast one female is het albino.

As the poster above says, both parents must be het albino to produce albino babies. The babies are on the continuum from aberrant to stripe:
--aberrant: broken bands in either body or tail but not both (it actually may be that all your geckos have broken bands in both body and tail; it's hard to tell from some of the pictures)
--jungle: irregular pattern in both body and tail
--stripe: clean or nearly clean bands of color running from head to tail
Sometimes it's a matter of opinion whether a particular gecko is a jungle or a stripe
The jury seems to be out on the genetics of striping. Based on my experience with my gecko breeding it seems to dominate. One big surprise I got this season was the product of two banded geckos (banded Tremper albino x banded het blizzard het tremper) that came out reverse stripe!
It also looks to me that 1 or 2 of your albino babies are snows (like the leftmost one in the second original picture).
