Winnie the Pooh

And look.....we're 2!

Please allow me to share with you the most beautiful day of our lives!

In addition to pictures, I wanted to share this video, and show you how they've grown before our eyes. It is just remarkable to watch a child grow!!

Happy 2nd Birthday, our Luke and ISabel

Luke and Isabel turn 2!

Finally got the pictures posted! There are so many!! Sorry to post so many, but it's too hard to choose, so I just put them all up! Thank you Mom for taking all these!

We are so thankful for a happy weekend full of birthday fun. Thank you to everyone who so graciously helped to make it so special for the twins and Josh and I. An Easter egg hunt bday party was a success for us, and its a great age, because the children aren't old enough to understand about competition yet, so they just happily went around looking for eggs, then took breaks sitting in the grass looking in their eggs, then went about looking for more. Of coarse Clay and Ava were such great sports because they are 8 and 5, and they were very sweet to help the little ones.

They turn 2 officially on this Thursday, so we froze the little cakes that you'll see in the pictures so we could have another party!

Enjoy, and HAPPY EASTER to you!

HAPPY SPRING!!!!!!!!

The Ocean and Olivia Ann!

Last week we spent 3 nights with Josh on his trip to the FL panhandle. I jump on each opportunity to go with him to FLorida, as long as he is up for it, as it is still quite the circus getting packed and leaving home for an overnight trip, no matter where we go!

But he is always SOO sweet to let us join him, and we just have the best time.

I am trying to be better with my time-management, so I'm not going to post too many pictures, but here are the ones I love from our trip.

Even though you can't get in......it is ahhh bliss just to see that God breathed ocean!

And I couldnt pass up this pic of the babies having their first coffee!!

Just kidding....those are martinelli's apple juices and Daddy's root beer :)

All creatures great AND small, God created them all.

And it was a VERY special little girls birthday this weekend

Olivia Ann is 2!

She is our butterfly princess.....

one by one..

Oh I love this....

Isabel and Luke lay in their cribs and drift off to sleep pretty quickly most days....but occasionally I will hear them talking or jumping, or kicking mostly happily as they go to sleep. TOday, I just heard the sweetest thing. I kept hearing the quiet whisper of several names.........Nina....Shay-Shay, Cay(Clay),Pops, Hadee(Hadley)......Pops.........Hadeee....Pops.....They just kept going. They were listing one by one all the people they love and who love them. I love that they know them all by name, and love them because they are in their life. And I thank God for having the real presence of our dear dear families in our lives. Luke had done this in the car one day as we were riding along, and I just thought it was the sweetest thing. But I had never heard them both doing it together.
