Birthday Boy

We celebrated Ryan's birthday at Didier Farms. Not sure who had more fun...Ryan or H &E. It was a great day for pumpkin picking and pumpkin donuts.

FIVE!!!

Holland and Ethan turned 5!!! We celebrated 3 times...once with family in Utah, once on their REAL birthday, and at last with their friends.

The friend party was a big deal. Ethan had a "train" party and Holland had a "unicorn" party. The best part was watching the kids try to break open 2 pinatas. Ethan's face is classic (see photo below). H & E felt really special that day. It was lots of fun!

REAL BIRTHDAY

Today we took Holland and Ethan to Chuck E Cheese for their birthday. It is by far the best place on earth...except for Dland. We had a great day and like most parents...I can't believe they are five!!!

Happy Birthday Hotstuff

I like having this 34 year old in my life...hope you had a great BIRTHDAY! Love you to pieces.

3 is the new 2

I can't remember who said it, but 3 really is the new 2. My kids were a delight from age 2 to 3...but it seems like the last few weeks are filled with tantrums and time outs. For the longest time I thought, "I am so lucky, my kids have not had the terrible twos".

I was hoping I would get to skipped that part. Well, the tantrums have reared their ugly head...and the terrible threes have begun.
Theses pictures are actualy very sweet. The twins were the perfect little subjects...
