One already!

Charlotte & Emily

I can't believe you sweet little girls are already a year old! This year has been one crazy adventure—I never thought I'd be blessed to have twins, but I'm so grateful I was because this last year has been truly wonderful. It's been so much fun watching you girls develop and learn; you both have gotten so big!

Emily you can now pull yourself up on the couch, crawl on your knees (when you want), feed yourself lots of food and babble the day away. I love your sweet little baby talk!

Charlotte you can now pull yourself up, you still scoot everywhere—I'm sure you'll be crawling in no time. ;) You love to squeal, talk, and feed yourself food!

Daddy had to work a night shift on your birthday, so we celebrated by having donuts for breakfast. You girls absolutely loved them, just look how happy you are.

Saturday we had a Halloween themed party to celebrate you girls turning one. We made it a costume party so we could show off your adorable costumes. Rebekah didn't want to wear her new Sofia the First dress because it was too big, but you girls sure looked adorable as crackle and clover.

Isn't daddy a handsome Minimus? I mean he's just a stud. ;)

Auntie Amber, Uncle Brandon, Auntie Ashley, Uncle Micah and Madison were all able to come to the party. It was so fun visiting with them and watching the girls play together. Andrew's old roommate (who married my old roommate) and their little boy were able to come too!

I found all these really cute toddler-approved Halloween games on Pinterest, like ghostly bowling, feed the monster, and paper plate pumpkin making, but the kids were more interested in playing with the toys in the basement. Oh well, at least they had fun!

I love how close Rebekah and Madison are. I'm so grateful Rebekah, Charlotte and Emily have such a wonderful cousin to grow up with.  Rebekah and Madison wouldn't leave each other's side at the party. It's so much fun watching them interact.

The girls devoured their birthday cupcake as soon as we set it in front of them.

Yes, that is a Batman candle and a number "2" candle...we only had one number "1" candle and the wick broke off right before we were about to use it.

Eastern Idaho State Fair 2016!

This year I was able to take the girls to the Eastern Idaho State fair with my lovely sisters and my niece Madison. The kids had so much fun playing in the petting zoo and seeing all of the different animals. 

Madison was even brave enough to ride a pony! I tired convincing Rebekah iit would be fun , but she wouldn't hear it. 

Madison and Rebekah lloved seeing all of the different horses in the stables. Madison neighed every time she saw a ne Iew horse. It was so cute! 

Later during the week, the girls and I were able to go to the fair again with Andrew. Since Rebekah saw the animals when we went with my sisters, we decided to focus more on rides this time. First we took Rebekah to this fun little toddler area to play. She loved riding the different cars, even though she kept running into things.

After she was done playing, we walked around the fair and looked at the different venders, before heading over to the rides.

Rebekah had so much fun riding all of the rides! It was so fun seeing her light up with excitement as she rode a new ride!

She was even brave enough to go on this creepy ride with Andrew.

She was hiding by the end of the ride, so it might have been just a wee too scary!

Rebekah rode even wanted to ride the pony this time!

We ended our festivities at the fair by seeing the biggest pig in Idaho. The poor pig weighed over 1,000 pounds and was unable to move.
