HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY CREW

I cannot believe it has already been a year. This little guy has brought so much love and happiness into our home. i cannot imagine our lives without him. happy Birthday our sweet little Crew!
We are having cake and icecream with a few little things tonight to celebrate his big day!

We are having kids get their picture taken with Mickey Mouse.

Here is what the pictures will look like for kids that come to the party. Adults can get there pic with mickey too Scott don't worry.

Crew's 1st birthday pics

What a nightmare photoshoot this was. Usually Crew is great for pictures but he was absolutely terrified of his cake, crying and wouldn't get near it. Finally after an hour and a half of trying to get something. I got mad and threw a spoon at the cake. Suprisingly that is all it took he loved it then. Started waking at it. I ended up getting a few shots but it definately was not what I had pictured in my head. I dont think he even liked the taste of it.
His birthday isn't until September 23rd but I wanted to display his picture at his little party.

ouch!!!!!!!!!!

so last week Scott cut his finger with a saw building our new playhouse and shed. He really must be tired because as a contractor he hasn't done that his whole life. Anyway it required stitches.

girls bday continued

A birthday at our house always starts with breakfast in bed. the girls request...Cinnamon rolls, eggs and strawberry milk.

These were their presents. they received them early though for our Vegas trip.

first we took them to Chuck- e cheese to use their free birthday token coupon. (We do not eat there). Then we went to Mcdonalds. The girls love their cheesburger & fries ( we should not eat there either). And they played on their play place even though they were too big ( surprising I know considering how small they are for their age. They love the American Fork playland so that is where we went on the way to my moms.

Since it was Labor day, the whole family joined together to celebrate the girls birthday at my moms house. Where we swam, had the girls birthday request dinner and cake.

They relax in the hot tub with Grandpa Gough

The girls enjoy their Birthday cake grandma gough made them.

HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY MAKAYLA AND MCKENZIE!

It seems like just yesterday I got the news that I was having twins, that I had that 3 month long hospital stay to get them here on earth. It seems like just yesterday They were toddlers. Smiling & laughing at each other in their cribs.
It seems like just yesterday I was giving them baths, kissing their boo boos and doing their hair.
It seems like just yesterday I was dropping them off to Kindergarten swearing I wouldn't ever cry ..that is dumb...but bawling the whole way home.
It seems like just yesterday they were getting baptized and seeming so grown up.
Yet here it is today. September 7th 10 years later, and I can't believe I am the mother of 10 year olds. Double digits! They bring us so much joy and happiness. I cannot imagine my life without them. Happy Birthday girls Mom and Dad and little Crew love you very much!

MCKENZIE:

What a sweet girl. If anyone where to pick a perfect friend, it would be her. She is so sweet and worries about others and their feelings. She is loving and kind. She is really smart at the top of her class. McKenzie has such creativity. She designs her own digital scrapbooking kits. It amazes me how much she knows. She is an incredible dancer since she was 2 years old. I love to watch her perform.

We love you McKenzie and our family would not be complete without you in it. Happy Birthday sweertheart!
