It's time to party!

The birthday kids eating some lunch.

Drew was trying to get a headstart on opening some presents.

The birthday girl

These blocks are more fun to climb on that build with!

Yeah! A card that plays music.

They were more interested in trying to grab everything else on the table while we sang "Happy Birthday" (two times).

Blowing out the candles

Drew shoved his cake in his mouth.

Lauren was much more neat about it, although they both ended up with baths afterwards, because they had tons of frosting in their hair.

"Hey....are you going to eat that?"

The big kids had a ton of fun sliding in to the pool and shooting the firefighter water hose at each other.

Drew riding his new truck.

Lauren's new pony. She was very protective of it and yelled at Drew when he tried to climb up by her.

Brynn & Hailey slept through most of the party but they got to hang out for a little while. This is a picture of Hailey.

The Big ONE!

Lauren June~June 16, 2008

I honestly can't believe our babies are one today! I still remember the day they were born and the anticipation of that day. We were so unsure of what were getting ourselves into with two more babies on the way and now we can't imagine them not being a part of our family. It's amazing how much changes in a year. They are both crawling around and standing on their own without holding onto anything. Lauren has even taken a few shaky steps. Drew is a pro at climbing stairs and anything else he can get onto! They babble to each other and us and already get on each other's nerves.:) We love you so much, Drew & Lauren. This has been such a fun year watching you grow and change. We can't wait to see what this year has in store for you. Happy First Birthday!!

Drew's crawl

Drew has taken to crawling on his hands and feet when we are outside. I don't think he likes the feel of grass or mulch on his bare knees. It would be a whole lot simpler if he would just walk! Here's a little video of him doing it. Of course, Luke had to keep jumping in front of the camera.:)

Just some new things...

Two sweet girls

A quick photo shoot before church.

What a goof!

Luke up in the new fort of our swing set.

Daddy & Drew enjoying a nice day.

Drewie loves this bear. He always is holding onto it when he his sleeping. The other day I went to get him and he was sleeping on top of him. Poor Mr. Bear!

Drew also managed to get himself stuck between the wall and the couch. He couldn't get himself out though.

Lauren taking a break from her bottle to pose for the camera.

I was gone when this picture was taken. I just thought it was funny that the babies are hanging onto their bottles while they look at the camera. I don't blame them. If they put them down, the other one steals it!

June is here already! I was checking out our calendar and it seems our weeks are filling up quickly. I have a feeling school will be starting up again before we know it. We got a new swing set last week for the kids. They were starting to outgrow the other one we had. This one should get us through and get a lot of use! We had a nice Memorial Day. I finally got Luke's room painted (I'll post pics once the finishing touches are done) and we had a barbecue with friends on Sunday evening. We're getting ready to go to Michigan in a couple of weeks for my cousin Sarah's wedding and finishing up tee-ball. Time is flying! Reagan and I are going to make some cookies to pass the time on this rainy day. Yum!
