onto presents, everyone needs a bike horn and sand toys

"if you need a friend you know what to do you can count on me I am the number two"

that is a line from one of my favorite songs, and it fits my twiners they count on each other they

take care of each other in a way that other twins might understand, me as the mom I just sit back and love every minute of watching them.

Oh Wilson you are Fantastic

cinnamon rolls for breakfast

a Birthday nap, Wilson gave her blanket and a balloon.

dinner hot dogs, chips and carrot sticks.

dessert brownie sundaes with sprinkles

for all of my kids 5th Birthday they get to go to the library and get there first library card, these two were so excited, they have been watching Ethan and Kate for a while, and now they check out whatever they want all by themselves.

Our library has these great statues all over they are kids reading, hanging out with books, looking at the puppet stage, my kids love to go "hang out" with them.

Gentry loves having a library card that she wrote her name on.

here is the entrance to our FABULOUS library

PARTY TIME!!! the other celebration for 5 year olds at our house is there first party, cakes above Wilson loves anything slimy, wiggly, oozy, green, so he requested a worm cake super easy and he was super happy. Gentry wanted a princess not like any that I had ever done, so we went white with silver sugar sprinkles.

she to was very happy

Wilson was nicknamed our wiggly worm when he was still in the hospital, as our baby he would wiggle till he could feel Gentry, his first Halloween costume was a worm so this cake was what he wanted.

Here is the pinata that we made Gentry loved its crazy eyes and Wilson loved that it looked like a squid.

and here is the party, cute friends, AWESOME BIRTHDAY TWINS!!!

BIRTHDAY GIRL!!! My Curly Q

Kate is my artist she will disappear to her bedroom with construction paper glue and markers and come out with homemade boxes, pictures, solar systems, gardens, you name it she can create it and it will be beautiful, with her skills she made each of her Birthday invitations, each one personal and sweet, above is the lady bug invite to her lady bug picnic.

Scriptures the day of her Birthday, besides art she has a talent with Sam, her patience and love for him is very sweet, she can communicate with him when no one else can.

HER CAKE I baked it and molded fondant but she frosted and cut out letters and decorated it

one of my favorites of KATE, she is 7

Birthday loot, art supplies glove, and a foot game.

For her Birthday dinner she wanted an etiquette dinner, at that point I didn't own a table cloth so we grabbed a sheet, picked flowers, set the table the proper way with salad forks extra spoons for dessert the works and she loved that we all did our best to use our manners.

Here are her friends at her picnic, her party was fun I sat back and just gave suggestions if needed but she did the whole thing!
