We love these books from Aunt Jannie and Uncle Chuck


Yes I am 2 and I still have a tongue thing. In the hospital when I was born they called me Gene Simmons from Kiss because I always stuck out my tongue


The pants weren't part of the outfit but she thought it was pretty cool

Dora Party

And the Dora cake I made for my sweet babies! Thanks Nana for staying up past your bedtime to help me mix all the icing!

The girls had a great birthday! Kaylie was still a little sick from the croup the girls both had last week (and they got me sick too) so she was a little out of sorts but overall it went well. The girls have so many toys now that I think we could open a store. They got a swingset from the grandparents. It isn't set up yet but we are very excited about it and appreciate it! We enjoyed visiting with our family and friends. We missed my dad who was sick and unable to make it. He is retiring this week so we are very excited for him!

I can't believe my sweet babies are 2! I always say I just wish I could freeze them at this age for about 10 years because they are just so precious.

When the girls had to go home sick from daycare, Taylor got sent home first. Neale was taking her to the doctor so we left Kaylie at daycare (the two of them at the doctor is not easy). The whole ride home Taylor kept saying "Kiki!" I think she thought I forgot her sister. She was very concerned about it. Then I got called to go back to daycare. Kaylie was also sick and crying so hard she threw up. All she kept saying when I got her was "T!". I realized they have really never been apart. For two years (and 7 plus months in my belly) they have pretty much spent every minute together. They are best friends and have a bond that is so strong.

The girls are into dressing up. They like to wear hair bows and "pretty" things. Taylor has started telling me "Kaylie pretty".

They love presents! After they opened them all Kaylie signaled "More" in sign language and said "More presents."

I think the girls have found my weakness. They will ask for something and I tell them no. Then they look at me and smile and say "Please". I usually can't resist.

Tonight Kaylie was in bed and I could hear her on the monitor. She was singing a song. Every word in the song was "Gabby" but it was adorable.

The girls are learning to share. If Taylor is playing with something Kaylie will say "Next" which means that she is next. Sometimes the girls will give the toys they are playing with to each other. They are so sweet. Tonight Taylor told Kaylie she wanted a "Kiss". Kaylie resisted at first but finally gave in.

I am treasuring every minute with my sweet babies. I love them more than I could ever say.

Happy Birthday Kaylie and Taylor! We love you.
