Happy 3rd Birthday Girls!

 It's unbelievable to think that Aspen and Brooke are already 3!  It seems like yesterday that my water broke and we were headed to the hospital at 35 1/7 weeks of my pregnancy.  They came into this world just as confident as they are today!  We are going to have their party next month when Grandma Pat comes to town, but we couldn't pass up a family celebration to mark this special day!  Hannah made a giant cupcake for Aspen and Brooke's special day!  She did such a great job!

 The girls couldn't wait to dig in!

 After we were done singing, they started blowing out the decorations on their own, haha!

 After cake we headed to Red Robin for a celebration dinner.  Hannah has always LOVED Red Robin and so have we.  With every child added to our family, dinner time seems to get less quiet!  We have four little chatter boxes on our hands, and at Red Robin it doesn't matter how loud your table is!

 This was Taylors second Red Robin experience and it took a bit for her to take it all in since she had just woken up from a nap! 

 Mac-n-Cheese with unlimited refills is an all time favorite!

 Then came Hannah's favorite part of the visit!  At the end of your meal they make balloon ears for you and have you stand up in your chair...  then all of the wait staff sing Happy Birthday to you!  The twins were a little shy at first but absolutely LOVED it!  The entire restarant was looking at them!  That tends to be the case as twins...  they tend to steal the show when around people who aren't used to seeing double!

This was the end of the song...  turn up the volume and listen to Aspen's laugh at the end!  It is adorable and she had everyone around us giggling at the end!

 Hannah and Taylor just can't get enough of each other.  She is such a big helper and Taylor is always laughing at the funny things Hannah does!

 And my favorite part....  Free ice cream Sundae's!  Yum!  Mom and Dad and Hannah got the leftovers because they are so big!

It was a good day celebrating our family.  Aspen and Brooke are two very special little girls!  We can't wait to celebrate you all over again next month!

Our Little Watermelon

 A friend got this costume for her daughter for $2 and after seeing her daughter in it, I knew Taylor's chubby cheeks would be irresistable in it, so we borrowed it for a Sunday afternoon photo shoot!  Such a cutie! 

 If you look really close, you can see Taylor's bottom two teeth!  They have just recently come in!  She is growing way too fast!

 Such a cheeser!

Hannah says she looks good enough to eat!

Loving the Summer Sun!

 Yesterday we spent the afternoon enjoying the sun.  John napping in a chair, Taylor and I playing on the blanket, and the other 3 girls playing in the sprinkler!

 Taylor is happy and content exploring the world now that she is strongly sitting up on her own!  It's a much better view than the sky!  So much to see with three very active sisters!

 And grass was the flavor of the day.  Even though we put a blanket down, Taylor always pulls it back so she can access the grass and eat it.  :)

 So happy and content just hanging out!
