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...

Someone had a birthday...

Albeit almost 6 months ago, but better late than never. Samantha turned 9 years old in January and I cannot believe how big she is. Every once in a while I will catch a glimpse of her and just think to myself...WOW, you are all mine...I get to keep you forever!! I love that she is in our family and it would not be the same without her.
