Wow, they are really 2!







Lauren and Logan turned 2 yesterday. I cannot believe it. I have come to believe that parents say this every year their child (or children) cross another milestone. We celebrated with a party last Friday with some friends and family. It was a lot of fun. We had 4 sets of multiples there. To those of us with the twins, it was normal to have 8 little toddlers running around. To others, it may have seemed a little chaotic. Watching the kids play in the backyard and then sit around the table for cupcakes was a lot of fun. My parents were there for the occasion and that was great. We loved having Todd and Mary there too. Troy's sister Tammy came with her family and we loved having them celebrate with us. On the actual birthday, we took the kids to the zoo and then to dinner at Red Robin. The kids didn't even cry when the big "Red Robin" came to the table or when everyone came to sing. Enjoy the pictures.

Bye Bye Popcorn

My parents came out for a visit and my dad was nice enough to help Troy remove some popcorn ceilings. It is a messy job but it will be worth it. They took the popcorn down in the living room, dining room, and both of the kids' rooms. It is pretty cool when the big pieces come down all at once.

What is the world coming to?



So I had to post this. As I mentioned in the previous post, we went to a huge Easter Egg Hunt. There were thousands of kids. If you look at the sign in the picture is says... "The Easter Bunny left you 6 eggs". This should be a hint. Now look at the lady carrying the TRASH BAG of eggs. Now, I can see kids taking more than their 6. It is hard to explain to a little one that they can only take 6. But seriously...a trash bag! This was a free event. Can you believe that?

Easter Fun







We had fun with Easter this year. We went to the HUGE Easter Egg hunt in Highlands Ranch. It was cold and windy but we can say we went. The kids colored eggs and looked for their eggs on Easter morning. I tried to get a picture of them all dressed up but as many of you know, that is next to impossible.

Daddy's little helpers

These are daddy's little helpers. Dad was trying to build a sliding drawer for the pantry and I guess he needed some help.

Happy Birthday Uncle Todd

We were lucky enough to spend some time with Uncle Todd on his birthday. Troy and Todd rode their bikes ~35 miles to a great pizza place called Woody's. Mary helped me to bring the kids there to meet them. We all enjoyed some yummy pizza then went back to Todd's for cake and presents. Thanks Todd for a great time and for letting the kids help you open gifts and blow out the candles.




Fun in the snow...sort of

We have had some snow recently so we decided to take the kids out to play. At first they seemed to enjoy it. We evenly tried some sledding. Logan finally thought it was okay but Lauren wanted no part of it. This surprised us since she is such the daredevil.
