We made it to 2!!! (Sigh) Can you believe it? It seems crazy to me but somehow we did it! We had a great day celebrating with Nicholas and Karlee on their Birthday which fell on a Sunday this year. They were so excited to wake up to find balloons. We could have called it a day right there. This has also become a new tradition in our family. Nicholas was having a BLAST running through the balloons. Such a party!
The twins loved opening cards and presents from Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts and cousins and friends. Thanks for making the day so special. When all the presents had been opened, they still wanted MORE. They have this present thing figured out!
They LOVED their new tricycles and want to ride them constantly, which has been good and bad. Good, because they get outside and burn some energy and BAD, because I have to be out there watching them, getting them unstuck and making sure Nicholas doesn't ride around the corner and disappear. I've been parking my car outside the garage so the kids can have free reign to ride around. They are warm and CONTAINED. So far, so good.
After talking to people who are twins and mothers of twins, all of them stressed the importance of having a cake for each twin on their birthday. Twins are absolute individuals and after having to share their whole life, they at least deserve their own cake on their birthday. So after a little stress and struggling with a theme, I went with these adorable 4 inch cakes from Safeway. Karlee was so happy for a "rella" cake and Nicholas loved his Thomas. It was so funny watching them try to blow out the candles. Karlee did it in two puffs. Nicholas, was able to get his out with several puffs, a little spit and some help.
We love you, Nicholas and Karlee! We feel so blessed that you came to our family. It wouldn't be complete, nor as crazy, fun, tired, or happy without you!

Happy birthday! Where did the time go? What a fun day!
I love the trikes! Congratulations (Mom), you are a super hero. Okay, so you're my hero anyway. Twins, that's some serious work...I really...ya, you're my hero.
I can't believe how quickly the time goes! Happy Birthday to your sweet two-year-olds. Those cakes are awesome!
So I'm obviously catching up on your blog, but I just read the "Ever Think About Quitting?" post. I just wanted to answer with a resounding YES!! I can find solace in the fact that all moms go through it and that it always gets better. Hopefully sooner than later... :)
Hugs!
Happy, Happy birthday!!! How fun, I can't believe they are two already.
Oh - you made it guys. The first two years are rough you always here with twins. From here on out they supposedly start getting more and more independent. We have to meet these two before they're 3!
Your family is just too cute! I love the trikes. They are amazing! You are looking as good as ever.
Hey guys! This is J.R. (that one home teacher that you once had). Just randomly thought I would drop in and see how you guys are doing. Your family is beautiful! Congrats! I am jealous that you are well into "real life"! How is the real life anyway? We are in Indianapolis in my first year of OMFS residency...it's pretty tough. Only 3 years, 3 months and about 3 weeks to go, but who is counting?
It was fun to see your comment. It is crazy how fast time flies. It seems like you guys were having twins just yesterday.
Hope all is well in Corvallis.
