Easter Sunday ~

The girls enjoyed the warmer day and being outside. They love the different colors of the eggs and taking them in and out of their baskets. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day!

Here are the girls at the Boise Mothers of Multiples Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. It was a little cold and breezy, but the girls still had fun finding eggs.

So Many Changes!

Well, I still need to upload some recent photos, but so much has been going on since the girls' birthday. They are both totally walking. Sammy usually ends up with at least one injury a day lately...poor girl...always falling into something. On their birthday we went and got them forward-facing carseats so they are big girls now and can look out and see what's going on. They love it! They really like it when we are at a stop light and I turn around and smile at them. Their whole faces light up! So cute! Now that the sun has been out some, I got them some sunglasses. Sammy loves hers, but Lexxy just takes them off as soon as you put them on her. I will post some photos of Sammy in her new Hello Kitty sunglasses soon. So cute!! I was able to take them on a few rides in their new wagon this weekend. They are so funny. Just kicking their feet and talking to each other! The girls are also signing now. Darlene has been working with them for some time now and we started really working with them a couple weeks ago and they are signing "more, please" and "all done." It's so great when they can tell you what they want. Lexxy started saying "Uh oh" on her birthday and she must say it 100 times a day. It's so cute to hear her little voice. The girls are no longer eating baby food. I just dice everything up for them and they eat it!! They love all foods and love to eat! They haven't had formula for over a month and are just drinking whole milk (with no hormones, we don't want them developing before they need to). They love milk and are just having one bottle a day now before bed. I'm still not ready to wean them from the bottle, but probably will in the next month...I'll try and get some new photos on here soon!

Happy Birthday Sammy & Lexxy

Other than the burgers not being thawed and dinner starting a little later than planned, the weather getting cold towards the end and it sprinkling a little bit, it was a great day. The girls had a wonderful first birthday. Thank you friends and family for all the wonderful gifts and sharing this special time with us.





























Sammy did get into opening this last one.














The girls helped open a few presents, but were more interested in playing. The loved all the balloons!

























Sammy really had fun with all the cake. She had so much on her hands and was shaking it off so cake was flinging every where!















Lexxy














This picture makes me laugh, it looks like she's ready to get sick...












Here are the girls digging in to their cake!


























We got them the wagon for their birthday. They loved it! Can't wait to take them for rides in it to the park, at the zoo, at Eagle Fun Days, etc.

Their cake turned out so good. Thanks Aunt Velvet for the surprise!

The Birthday Girls!

The girls started out their birthday with pretty bows in their hair, but that didn't last long...

Sammy says, we're going to be 1!

Sweet Sammy girl

Well, on St. Patrick's Day I was home with the girls and the sun was out and it was warm enough to take the girls outside. I put them in the play yard while I did some yard work. They loved it!
