July 4th 2012

We had some mega fun this 4th of July! I kicked off the day with a really awesome workout-ran a few miles along the golf course in our neighborhood and hit the neighborhood gym. The 4 of us met lots of friends/neighbors up at the pool for the neighborhood pool party-DJ, games and tons of fun. It reminded me of a pool day at Ceasars Palace in Vegas plus kids! We came home for a great cookout with burgers, corn on the cob, pasta & potato salad, grilled veggies and ice cream! We stopped by a neighbors party and went to watch fireworks at Riverstone Plaza. This was the twins' third time seeing July 4th fireworks. Brandon let them sit on top of the minivan and they said "this is totally amazing!" and it was.

End of the 3 Year Old Preschool Year

Well, we made it through the end of the 3 year old preschool year. It is a very exciting, special, & bittersweet time....

not only because our twins are ending another great year of preschool, but because they celebrate their birthdays typically on the last day of school. That is too much for this mama to handle-pass the box of kleenex! ha ha! 

Seriously, we have been blessed with another great school year and truly some of the most wonderful, caring, & special preschool teachers. The twins started going to this preschool 1 half day a week at 6 months old, then 1 year old MMO, 2 year old Preschool and now just finished 3 year old preschool so this has been their 4th year attending the program. 

They had a wonderful End of the Year Party, a Mother's Day Tea, and we did lots of fun celebrations in between. Even though we have twins, in some way, it is similar to having an only child. While I am excited for all the growth and changes the boys experience, it is also a reminder that when you have twins and not planning on having more children, that is it-you won't have this experience again, which makes it all the more bittersweet. We are so proud of how smart, incredible, funny you have each become, Baby J & Coco! Most importantly, we are proud of your genuine and pure hearts that follow God's path. We love you to the moon and back!
