DECEMBER 9TH....TWO YEARS OLD!!!

I cannot believe that my sweet baby boys have turned TWO!!!! This has been such a fun stage, but it seriously makes me so sad to think how fast these last two years have gone by! We have a tradition of writing them a birthday letter each year, and so I will save most of the memories and mushy stuff for those, but for now, I just want to say what a joy these two special little boys have been in our lives! I cannot imagine how life used to be without waking up to their sweet smiling faces, their constant laughter, and great big hugs! I was really nervous when we first found out we were having twin boys...but I couldn't have asked for two better and happier boys! I am so grateful for them and for the past two years we have been able to spend together!

Here are some pic's from their BIG day...

The night before their birthday Grady, Barry and I spent quite a few hours setting up their new room with their new "big boy beds"! We were a little nervous to make this move, but it actually went surprisingly well! Sawyer didn't want to sleep in his bed alone, and so he slept in Logan's bed with him, but they slept all through the night! We couldn't believe it! It was so cute to see them both sleeping there side by side...I wish I would have taken a picture because every night since then Sawyer has been brave and now sleeps in his own bed. We haven't had one problem at night...they go right to sleep and never get out until morning. Nap times on the other hand are a different story! Let's just say we now have "quiet time" and not "nap time".

This was their big present, their room all done and decorated...they sure LOVE their big boy beds!

That afternoon Heather and I took our boys to Southtowne Mall for the FM 100 Christmas concert! It was Ryan Shupe & The Rubber Band and so we just had to go! Logan, Sawyer and Porter had such a good time running around, eating yummy pretzels, listening to the music, and doing a lot of window shopping!

Here they are hanging out in front of the Skinny Jean display trying to pick up on some chicks!

My happy little Logan! It was so cute cuz they just sat there swinging their legs through the bars and listened to the fun music! Later that night Grady and I went out for dinner and celebrated that way with them since their big family party was the next day.

We started bright and early on Wednesday preparing everything for the big party that night. Here they are watching their 'Car' cakes cooking.

Once they got tired of helping mommy with all the preparations, this is how they spent the rest of their day...watching movies on our bed while I slaved away for their big night!

After a long day of cleaning, baking, wrapping, and decorating...this was the end result! Their "Cars" Birthday Party!

I was really nervous about making these, but I actually think they turned out pretty cute! Thanks Heather for your cake decorating tools! They saved the day!

We had a yummy pizza/salad dinner with all of my family...sadly Grady's parents were in St. George and so we missed them! The boys have never been big eaters, but that night they both ate 2 whole pieces of pizza! I was impressed!

They were both sooo excited about opening their gifts this year...it was a lot of fun to watch their cute reactions!

Here is our traditional photo in front of all their new toys and presents...they were definitely hooked up with a lot of new and cool cars! Their favorite was their remote control cars...Lightning McQueen and Mater from the disney movie. We opened those up after everyone left and they had such fun chasing them around the house!

Their other favorite gift was definitely their cute and very detailed horses that Grandma Lou got them from IFA. They make sure they have them every night now before they go to bed! Thanks Grandma Lou! Overall their night was a big hit! Thank you everybody for coming and for all your help! And Happy 2nd Birthday Logan and Sawyer...we sure love you!!!
