Happy 2nd Birthday!

The big birthday party was celebrated yesterday! What a great time. We had lots of food, fun, and plenty of presents!

Nana and Papa bought us our first car! It's awesome.


The king of adventure and the queen of drama!


There is no other way to explain opening presents except: CHAOTIC!


We loved being sung to!


And we each made our own special two year old wish!




And then...we dug into the yummy cake!


What a great party...we can't wait to do it all again next year!

Birthday Preparations

Sesame was our theme this year. We love Elmo, Big Bird, and even Oscar the Grouch!
We were so happy to see the decorations and couldn't wait to celebrate with everyone.


Our mom even made us an Elmo cake which we can't wait to dig into!


We'll have more pictures after the party!!!

Ho-Hum Winter

The dreary days of winter have set in. No more holidays to look forward to, just cold and more cold. The sun has only graced us with its presence a few times in the last week. So...we are looking to the small things that make us laugh.

Zachary's name has been shortened by Luke. For some reason, the chary of Zach's name has become Gary to Luke. Every time Luke wants his attention or talks about him, we hear GARY! "Gary, look at dat." "What's Gary doin?" "GARY, GARY, GARY."

Brooke shocked us all this past Wednesday. All three of them were running around, spinning in circles, and acting crazy. When we asked her to do a somersault, she did! She bent over and kicked her feet up and over she went. We clapped and cheered and she thought she was the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Zach is beginning to talk more. He doesn't finish the end of his words, but he talks. Ello is Elmo. Bi Bir is Big Bird. Money is still mommy. La is Luke while Boo is Brooke. He's trying and we are making do. It is just still hard to decipher some times.

This morning, I was making breakfast and they were talking upstairs in bed. Brooke and Zach were screaming "DADDY" over and over and over. When daddy didn't rescue them, I heard Brooke say, "Uh oh...now what." Zach without missing a beat screamed, "MONEY." He might not speak cleary but he knows what people say or what they mean! :)

"Cousin" Bella

Uncle Blake and Aunt Sara's new puppy Bella is breaking in the house and her mom and dad. We love that dog! The link below shows how smart she is and how much free time Blake has! He only spent 3 hours making the video of his princess.

No Days Like Snow Days!

Christmas break ended January 3 and I was back to school on the 4th. Little did we know that I'd be home again Thursday and Friday due to the 4-5 inches of snow and the bitter cold we received. I did get some bills paid and the refrigerator cleaned out, but other than that, we played, played, played.


Thursday, I found a can of Redi-whip in the fridge and squirted some in my mouth to show them how it worked. Giggles ensued. Luke started chanting - "Me, Me, Me! I shook the can and let it go in his mouth. He laughed so hard, the cool whip flew back out! With the other two watching, you can imagine what happened next. We took turns and the giggles were contagious. I had as much fun as they did, if not more!




Friday home again, we jumped on mommy and daddy's bed. That is always a fun experience!


I tried to insert the video, but the file is too big! I'll try again next time.
