Happy 2nd Birthday!

Maddie and Katie turned 2 on Friday! We can't believe it - time sure does fly by. Since it was the end of their first week of school, we celebrated with a small family dinner at our house.

Papa Rod got them an ice cream cake - YUM!
They ate every last bite. And asked for more.

Happy Halloween! Maddie was a UW Cheerleader and Katie was an OSU Cheerleader - GO TEAM!

"CHEESE!"

You can tell which university we went to by our t-shirts...our family Halloween portrait.

We LOVE School

Maddie and Katie started school last week and boy to they love it. I mean really love it. The first week, they cried (and threw tantrums) when it was time to go home. The talk about their teachers and tell us what they do in school. It is such a great program and we are so happy they are enjoying it. We think Grandma Sandy is a little bored now since she only has them from 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm every day. They are so cute - when Grandma and I drop them off, they barely say goodbye as they are so "busy" getting their day at school started.

The first lunch I packed for them - heart shaped sandwich, grapes cut n half, string cheese, milk and yogurt.

Katie loves to play with water - she gets her clothes soaking wet within the first 10 minutes of every day so she always comes home in a different outfit

Katie pondering what to color -she loves to color and comes home with artwork every day
