Two 3-year-olds!--August 11th

Well, every birthday is exciting, but it's not everyday that you get two 3-year-olds! On the morning of his birthday Andrew woke us up by yelling, "I got a new bike!" He wasn't really interested in anything else. He just jumped on his Lightning McQueen bike and cruised around the house.

Emily got a princess bike too, which she loves, but she wasn't quite as anxious to jump on it. We finally convinced Andrew to hop off and open some other presents. Notice that he kept his helmet on!

Sarah and Savannah were excited about the new bikes too!

We were lucky to get to spend the twins' birthday with Grandpa Fred and Grandma Jane and Aunt Amy, Mary, and Abby who came all the way to Boise to visit. We had a fun party that night at our house. Andrew and Emily both (luckily!) wanted spaghetti for dinner. Then after dinner we swam and had cake and ice cream.

Andrew was so excited to have a "white Spiderman cake". He even got a shirt to match his cake!

Emily wanted a "chocolate princess cake".

We ate cake by the pool and enjoyed the beautiful August weather.

The bikes have continued to be a big hit. Both kids cruise around our driveway like pros. It's really fun to watch them chase each other. What an amazing (and exhausting!) three years we've had! It's great to have Emily and Andrew to this point and to see them continue to grow and develop so well. They are truly wonderful blessings to our family!
