the twins turn 5

Wow I have two five year olds! Ok it has been over a month! What fun they have been. they got spoiled this year. we didn't have a party for them this year we decided to just dedicate the whole day to whatever they wanted to do and we did it as a family. Then my friend falawn and her kids came over for dinner and desert. I think they loved the fact that they got whatever they wanted that day and got to play with their toys instead of sharing.


They got lots of presents



They opened presents right after breakfast and then we just played all day it amazes me how well they are at sharing a birthday, I know it wont always be this way but they enjoy it now and are truly best friends










Of course what would a birthday be without a nose butter. they were begging me to do it. Oh they have so much to learn about nose buttering :)

Ok so the cake was different this year. I always make them some elaborate cake but since we weren't having a party I wanted to just do easy cup cakes but they kept fighting over what cupcakes they wanted so one day I told them how about no cake just dirt, they laughed and continued to tell me what they wanted. I started saying no we are not having cake just dirt, mud and rocks. they just thought it was a joke boy were they surprised when there birthday came and I had no cake just a pot of potted flowers. The whole day they thought I was kidding. after dinner I pulled out my dirt desert and a shovel. It took some convincing but I finally took a bite, well ty took a bite owen said I will let ty take a bite and see if it is good. Tyson took a bite and said "its only a little good" they crack me up. I finally got owen to take a bite. after that I explained it was cookies and pudding. The chocolate rocks also to a lot of convincing. for like 3 weeks after that owen told me he loves dirt.

Kennas getting big

Kenna is getting big, we dont have many pictures of her on our blog so here is a little sample. she is already changed so much since we took these pictures like 2 weeks ago. She is so big she is 8 1/2 months but in 12 month cloths, she pull her self up and walks along the couch. She is our little busy body.






She had pig tails in before this hence the hair.

The circus

We went to the circus. I dont think I have been to a circus since I was like 5 so it was fun for all of us. All the kids were free so it just cost clint and I. It was a really fun family outing. Sorry some of the pictures aren't great it was dark and smoky a lot of the time.

Tysons fake smile changes in like every pictures. here they are in front of the pony ride, It is kind of nice when your kids are afraid of everything since the pony rides were we 5 bucks each and the elephant rides were 10 bucks. They were happy just watching


Gavin being gavin
Aw cute group we were trying to get kenna to look but there was way cooler stuff to look at then me





Gavin was still in his cat stage so you can see his cat puppet that went everywhere with us in his hand.
These guys did a lot of the acts in the circus they were really funny.
The black bears and elephants were are favorite we probably have way to many pictures of the elephants but we all loved them







the plate spinning masterOwen was freaking out during this guy He got so high on his stacked chairs and did a hand stand it was wiggling a ton so owen had his eyes covered most of the time.
This one was smelly and loud but it was really cool they eventually had 4 motercycles in that tiny circle going upside down.
We had a lot of fun at the circus and the boys pretend circus all the time now if it ever comes to your town you should go it is so much fun.

Christmas

We had a really fun christmas this year, no traveling, no schedule. we just sat around the house being lazy and it was great. we missed having family around but this was the next best thing. We also stayed healthy which is a rarity for us. I wont say too much just a comment here or there. Enjoy the pictures

Naked before we give them there new PJs.









Ornaments The boys got tool boxes cause they are really into handy manny and fixing things

Gavin is in love with cats he acts like a cat all time, ask him a question you are bound to get a meow as an answer.

And of course Kennas first ornament .






Christmas morning so fun.
