a year in review. part 2

more of my favorite pics to catch you up on the last year of our life which was, BY FAR, the best.

just sayin.

first time they realized they looked alike. haha!

maybe my all time favorite pic.

l and b's favorite toy!

yes..they both had tubes..on the same day..awesome

they can stand!

ok I lied..this is my favorite. :) thinking lon found her passion as a hairstylist although berk is not amused....at all.

so we had a garage sale and no, the babies were not for sale although a few tried.

somebody told a joke.

SAMS!! oh how we love you and your cart made for two babies! thank you for thinking of moms that have more than 1 kiddo.

big girl car seats! berk is usually asleep within minutes of getting in her seat and lon loves the window. I love being able to look at them...but I hate how grown up it makes them look.

these are my favorite pjs ever. I washed them pretty much everyday so they could wear them as much as possible. really wish they didn't grow so fast.

londyn and berkley are 1!!!! (I really tried to talk them out of the whole turning 1 thing... I mean..who wants to be 1? 1 is not cool at all. am i right?)

I had to put this one to remind me of how their favorite restaurant is cracker barrel! I'm not joking when I say this, but these babies eat like high school boys. seriously. its crazy. high school boys. dang.

first time lon figured out how to stand up in her bed. now many nap times are spent playing peek-a-boo! hahah oh well.

sooo...they hate snow. hopefully this will change in the years to come. lon will touch it but just barely. berk will not touch it and will scream if it gets too close to her. good thing we don't live in alaska!

ok, gonna have a add a part three to this entry. sorry for the number of pics, but I don't want to leave out anything.

big hugs to our long distance friends! we miss you!

p.s. 3 blogs in 1 week. whew! i love this app!

a year in review.

so apparently somehow a year has passed without blogging anything new about the girls. holy cow! a year. a whole year. 365 days. as I write those words, I get completely sad thinking how truly fast it goes. many times i have begged the girls to stop growing...even offered to pay them if they would..but they never seem to listen.
in these last 15 months aaron and i have been in complete awe. amazed that God would allow us to be parents to these two amazing, beautiful babies. I am overwhelmed with the need to stop and say thank you before going any further. (i know this isn't an awards show..but here I go) thank you to every single person who interceded in our behalf. as you know the road to being "healthy babies" was a long one for us and it could not have happened without your prayers. as we have learned from God over the past few years, many things in life, good and bad must happen for His glory. I will everyday be thankful for the blessings he is allowing us to have. they have completely changed my world and everything I thought I knew. they show me that everything doesn't have to be perfect, enjoy each second (no matter if they are laughing or crying), some things just aren't important, and what love truly means.
ok, so I've rambled on enough for now, here are a few of my favorite pics over the last year to catch you up.
enjoy.
here we go.
since I last blogged about the girls, they have...

cuddled.

posed for pics on mother's day.

loved new york. (they haven't yet been but I tell them how much they will love it.

read a number of books. :)

jogged several miles.

smiled a whole lot!

been forced to wear bathing suits. (hahahah i know i know. poor babies. I promise these suits were the correct sizes!)

learned to sit up by themselves! ..and learned how to pick on each other.

slept several hours in the car.

learned to eat big girl food!

and even made up a few secret handshakes.

ok... so it won't let me upload many pics at one time, so cutting it off for now. hope these make our long distance friends feel like they haven't missed a beat. :)

a year in review..part 2..coming soon.

getting techy.

ok, so yes the world is changing so fast and i'm trying my hardest to keep up. i do understand that there are some things in the "techy" world that are too much over my head and I will never have the patience to understand them, BUT if there's an app for it, i'm pretty much in! SO on this day, in this year of 2011, there are no flying cars, pretty sure no hover boards, BUT my friends, the iPhone is making my world a tad easier by having an app I can blog from! since the girls were born I have pretty much said goodbye to the blogging world, but hopefully, with this app, I can start once again.
(ps this is a test..this is only a test)
