Wesley said, "Look, I a Granpa!" Too funy!!!

Favorite Foto Friday...

Now that the twins are in bunk beds and able to move around you might think they are resting quietly and come upstairs to find this:

Nothing like finding a naughty boy, a pirate ship and a DS in your bed!

What a Way to Get the Summer Started...

At our very first summer play date swimming a friend's little boy accidentally hit Jackson with a dive stick. It hit him in just the right spot on his cheek bone and sliced it right open. So, I am a friend's pool with all 4 kids in my bathing suit and cover up- no other clothes with me! Jon came and picked us up so we could head to the ER. Sweet Jennifer bravely kept the twin along with her other 5 kids! We decided to stop by and see out pediatrician first. She came out to the waiting room prepared to tell us to go get stitches, but decided she could glue it together. We were very glad to be avoiding the ER! Jackson wasn't upset at all. He said, "Granda says girls think scars are cool!" Heaven.help.me!!!

She did a great job gluing it, but his eye just kept getting blacker and blacker. He now has a scar, but I'm sure my future daughter-in-law will dig it, right?

Deer Run...

The kids got to attend Deer Run day camp this year, and they were in love. I wish parents could go because I so wanted to try the zip line into the pond! All the awesome outdoor activities, crazy songs, wrapped up with a christian message-perfect! These are our homeschool peeps who were also there- all making goofy faces of course :)

I have been telling everyone how great it is and hope we can convince even more friends to join us next year, but for now at least Ashton had Dan the Man!

Next Party...

We left Gram's and stopped by Nana's so they could see the boys on their birthday. She surprised us with an ice cream cake for them. They were excited:

I've decided that I think it's only fair that they each get their own birthday song (Kate does it 6 times for all hers!). Though he's younger, we let Wesley go first for a change:

Will tried hard to blow out those candles (especially before Wesley did!).

The cake was yummy and we quickly cleaned it up :)

Thanks Nana for yummy cake!

A Cars Kind of Party...

We headed to Gram's house to have a family party for the boys' big day. Of course, we had to celebrate Cars style since they are Cars obsessed.

My sweet daughter whose love language is gift giving went around the house wrapping up things to give them. This is Wesley unwrapping his monster truck from home. We were laughing about her regifting, but he was so excited over it that I've decided she's on to something. I should've just saved my money and given them something they already had!

Mawmaw and Aunt Joan decided they needed some big boy boxers. We put them on later and their little booties in boxers was priceless!

We made them each their own cake with a Cars figurine on top. McQueen for Will and Mater for Wesley, or as he calls him, "Dadgum".

I made a ridiculous, amateur decision to buy them different gifts instead of buying two of the same thing. Big mistake, huge. They have fought over this Mac daily then and every day since.

We had a great day hanging out with family and celebrating my asweome twosome!

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but the twins just celebrated their third birthday! As always we started with cinnamon rolls in their number:

The big kids are so sweet and get so excited to do things for them. They even made sure the night before that I had cinnamon rolls at the ready!

How sweet is this big boy?

Of course, I think this one's pretty stinkin' cute as well!

Every birthday for the twins is another milestone that we've survived! This one was a hard one too, but we made it and have some great memories to show for it. We love our double blessings!
