Birthday Boys!

We celebrated Ben and Brad's 2nd birthday last night with family. They've always loved their Fisher price farm/barn set, so i decided to make a barn cake for them. Found a picture in a magazine and copied that.

I love how Ben and Brad knew this was a special evening just for them.

There was a lot of action, with 9 kids there. But everyone went home in one piece :)

Oh what Grandma's don't do for their grandkids!!

As i think back to their 1st bday, i can't believe how much they've changed the past year. They weren't crawling (just snake crawling) or pulling themselves up at 1 year old. They hadn't quite picked up on sign language yet at that time. Now they are talking, running, and so smart. I'm so thankful for their progress. Even though the past 2 years have been hard at times, it's more my situation at fault and not them personally..(ex. born early, big brother only 16 mo. older, having TWO the same age, etc). But i sure do enjoy them, they are so sweet and when everyone is getting along, they are so fun to watch and interact with. Their favorite things right now are Hide N seek, being outside, chasing kitties and pestering chickens, riding their trucks, and reading books. They've started doing fun twin stuff like wrestling, blaming their stinky diapers on the other one, and tickling. They're in a bit of a mommy stage right now, hopefully some of that is because they were sick this past week, and ben started teething.

Here's Ben and Brad 2 years ago on their birth day. You guys have come a long way! I love you, happy birthday!!
