Happy 7th Birthday Jacob and Blake....

This day 7 years ago at 11:51 and 11:52 am you were born. It is hard to believe it has been 7 years. The time has flown by! All though within the first year and half of your life I didn't think it was going very fast but from then on out it just seems like it has gone by quickly and just keeps going faster and faster each year.

You both are so special in your own way. Even though you have a unique bond with each other you are two different people inside. But that is a good thing because you both bring different attributes to our family that are great and fun. In the beginning it was hard to have 2 at once, but now I can't imagine it any different.

We have had a celebration of sorts for this birthday this year. We had decided on no party just family time and so they have basically got 3 days of fun in a row (usually that only happens to adults). So here is how we did things that they wanted to do. On Saturday we took them to see MegaMind (the new movie out) and after went to Chili's for dinner. Then Monday they were wanting there cake already, so I decided this year also to make a cake (which has never happened, I usually buy). So Monday we celebrated the cake and now Tuesday on the actual birthday I took them to Boondocks because this was something else they wanted to do and over the weekend we didn't have time to do it. So, I thought on there birthday it would be fun to celebrate it and then we got ice cream afterwards. They now also have gotten birthday cards and money from there grandma and grandpa's and now we need to go to the store to do that. But, I think that will wait for this weekend. They have had quite the birthday this year with so much going on hopefully they had a good one even though it was so broken up. Happy Birthday boys, we love you so much.... Mom, Dad and Patrick!

Happy Halloween 2010....

Halloween 2010.. Patrick was Black Spiderman/Venom, Jacob was a Vampire and Blake was a Ninja. This year was interesting because it rained. At first I didn't think it was going to happen but they were determined to do it. So Joe took them and in the pouring rain they headed out. I thought for sure they would be back in about 20 minutes but they were gone in the rain for an hour and hit every house all the way up to the school.. crazy. So, when they got home they were soaked, but had a lot of fun and that is all that matters. Hope everyone had a great night!!

Joe and the twins here at the Trunk or Treat Friday night.. Don't you just love Joe's Costume this year.. hehe

Halloween Spirit.. and the Boys..

We have gotten into the spirit of Halloween and decorated a little of the house.... The boys each did there own little pumpkin with some great foam shapes I found. So they each did a face and did a pretty good job. They also cannot wait for Halloween!

We headed up to our new favorite place a few weeks ago and took some more pictures of the boys and family. So, there is just a few shots we got of them.

Last Days of Summer...

Last Saturday we went to Lagoon for the last weekend and our annual trip. We had gotten discount tickets from a lady in our ward that works there so we decided to take advantage of that and go. The boys had so much fun and being able to ride all the rides now makes it really fun.. Its also fun and a little weird that they can go on all the rides but also want to go on them all by themselves so Patrick and Jake (just like mom) love the Jet Star and they went on it over and over again and I think they had a little whip lash the next day because they said they were sore I think from going on the ride so much. What a fun day and can't wait until next year.
