I'm seeing double...

07.07.06 - 07.07.08

Well it was two years ago yesterday that the most beautiful babies entered into this world and into our family. I really cannot believe that my babies are 2 years old. We have had so much fun with them over the last 24 months... my how time flies...











Things I have learned and loved over that last 2 years...

2x as many poopy diapers (but that goes without saying :-)

2x as many giggles

2x the cuteness

2x as many people want to stop and touch my babies

2x as much hand sanitizer needed (see above)

2x the snuggles and love

2x the excitement and awe at newly discovered cabinets

2x the fascination with dental floss

2x the love for their blankies and flowers (aka their pacifiers)

2x the cost for a babysitter - thank goodness for grandmas

2x the enjoyment of being a mom


We started their birthday off with a very big breakfast...
this is them looking chipper as always first thing in the morning.

Then later in the evening we had all the family over for swimming, pizza and cake.
This is really how cake should be ate!

Of course Brooke didn't want to have anything to do with messy frosting and cake... she's no fun!  She is definitely our girly-girl.

And this is them showing off their cool new glasses... what cuties!!!



And just for kicks and grins...

A fish called Sam!!

It's sort of a given when you live in this desert land that your kids have to go through this right of passage called city league swim team. And I gotta say... BRING IT ON! Growing up I always wanted to be on a swim team, nevermind that my strokes often look like someone is having a seizure in the water, but none the less I wished I had tried. Well, you better believe that this mama is living vicariously through her kids when it comes to swim. Sweating palms. Nervous stomach. Pacing back and forth... this is usually how you can find me and Scott on the sidelines. I LOVE IT!! She was pretty good last year for her first year, and this year she really did even BETTER...bringing home 3 first place ribbons. I actually only ended up bring my camera to one of her meets, shameful, I know. But in my quest to be ever more present in my kids' lives I didn't want to be all camera-crazed, jockeying for the BEST position with all the mom-tographers videoing their super-star athletes. R...

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...
