Happy Birthday to my BIG 6 year old Kian!!

Happy birthday Kian! He turned 6 years old on April 8 and he had a fun birthday!

Right before Randy brought up Kian's big gift, a new 18" bicycle.

RyRy pulling some mad tricks

After we went out for dinner, we had family over. It was all about the legos! HE loves them!

Sweet cousins!

Kian picked the cake flavor, strawberry. Even he admitted, it wasn't very good.

Make a wish!

RyRy and his cousin, baby John

Baby John just loved Grace's hair!

What a cutie!!

Ry loves playing with Kian's legos, especially when Kian doesn't notice....

Happy Birthday Kian!! The last 6 years have been the best in our lives! You are a remarkable boy! You are so full of joy and you spread that joy to others! Love you SO much!

Happy Birthday Ryland & Grace!!!

I can't believe my sweet, little twins are 3 years old today! When I first found out I was having twins, I cried... and cried... and stressed... and cried. Now I just couldn't imagine any different and I am SO happy we had twins! They are truly a joy.... I loved when they would cuddle together when they were infants. As 1 year olds they understood each other and had their own "twin talk". When one would cry, the other gets his/her binky or blanky for them. When one was being tickled, the other would laugh too! As 2 year olds, I have never seen 2 year olds play so well together. Comparing to Kian, who wanted us to play with him, the twins play together perfectly and are quite the little team. I love how Grace bats her eyes when she wants something. I love how Ryland says "I cuddle with Mommy" about a dozen times per day.

Happy Birthday Ryland & Grace!!

Now, here is a trip down memory lane:

5 lb 3 oz and 5 lb 6 oz. Ry was in NICU 7 days and Grace 11 days. I was 33 weeks pregnant when they decided to come.

The day Grace came home and Kian seeing her for the 1st time. The twins quickly cuddled together.

2 peas in a pod

Anytime we would lay them down, they would inch to each other and cuddle.

Fall Soccer Season

Kian is now finished with soccer until the Spring. He really enjoyed soccer this fall and he scored 11 goals over the 7 games they played. He really seems to understand and play the game better than last year. But, he still enjoys just being on the field with his buddies and talking or fooling around. He still likes to see if he can run faster than everyone else, but he is watching the ball more while he runs fast. Here are some great pics of this season!! Go Dinos!

Camping Labor Day weekend

We spent 3 days, 2 nights at the Hayward Cabin. The Haywards & us had a great time 4-wheeling, playing games, spending time at the lake, and just hanging out together. It was lots of fun!

No training wheels!!

Kian rode his bike without training wheels for the first time today!!! He was amazing! He picked it up so fast that it makes me think we should've taught him months ago. The video is only about 20 minutes after he started. He didn't even fall much and rode his bike for a couple hours with no band-aids needed. Now its just time for a bigger bike!!

Kian goes to Kindergarten

Kian loved his first day of Kindergarten!! He woke up in the morning and said "Now that I'm a Kindergartner, I will like green beans. But, I won't like squash until I'm 9 years old". Thats the first thing he said!! HA HA!

He had fun meeting his teacher and classmates. The next day, he took a test and of course, the teacher said how smart our little boy is and that he'll do really well this year.

We love you, Kian! No matter how big you get, you will always be my baby. To heaven and back, Peanut.
