Happy Birthday Jessica: "Happiness was born a twin!"

To the best twin sister in the world, Happiest of Birthdays to you! I wish we could celebrate together, but since we can't here's a look back at some snapshots of our lives. We've been best of friends, worst enemies, co-conspirators, and just about anything else you can think of, and we will always think we're the funniest two people in the room. Thank you for being such a generous sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend. We love you so much and can't wait for you to move closer to us!


Weighing in a 6lb 7oz, Jessica was the "small" twin. I was a hefty 7lb 12oz! 



Mom and Dad always swore this picture wasn't staged...


DEMON BABY! (I have no idea which one this is, but I'm claiming it's Jess)




To commemorate that year of our lives we carried everything in bags and those years I made you do all the work:)







Big girls!



Hideous ballet/jazz costumes & pretty pigtails.



That year we work tutus and roller skates everywhere.




Our first day of school...Yes, Cindi, I see the horrible Hello Kitty bags. I bet Jessica picked them out.



More awful dance costumes. 


Amazing times at Camp Thunderbird - I think we had a record on the Dangling Duo for years!



All grown up!

 Miss you and love you! Hope you have a wonderful day and get a little cake too!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys ...

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
