Twinkies and Us: Happy Birthday

The boys are turning 2 today, and I can hardly believe it. I feel so blessed and full of love right in this moment. They have grown so much, and already gone through so many phases, and I have such joy being a part of it all and loving them through it. Eric is an amazing father and the way the boys light up when he walks into the room warms my heart. I didn't think I could love him anymore, but seeing the amazing father he as become makes me feel so lucky to call myself his wife.

We celebrated Eric's birthday this past week as well. He doesn't like to make a big deal of himself, but he let us get him some balloons, and make him a special dinner and dessert. The boys were doing great saying 'happy birthday' as best they could, and I think it really warmed them up for what was coming!

We celebrated the boys yesterday with family, and overall it was a great day! We went to Peace Valley for a picnic lunch, and fed the ducks. They both enjoyed throwing the bread, and then the rocks! Landon got a small boo boo that healed pretty fast once he saw all the fun he was going to have.

After naps we headed to Chuck E Cheese to keep the celebration going. The boys had a great time on the little rides and 'playing' the games! They always enjoy pizza and cupcakes, so dinner was a hit as well. We headed back to the house and opened some presents which they sure did love!

They woke up this morning (the actual birthday), enjoyed some breakfast and a present from mommy and daddy! We went to church, then lunch with family. They boys got to 'ride' the bull at Texas Roadhouse which at first was scary, but they warmed up quickly!
