We're one!!

Wow! What a weekend! The boys had a great time at their party. Lots of family and good friends to help them celebrate. One year ago, I was worried about what kind of physical challenges Carson and Cameron would face. How would I be able to care for both of them and give them what they need? What would it be like for them living in the hospital NICU for several weeks? Fast forward one year, what was on my mind? Do I have enough food and cupcakes for everyone? Where will everyone sit? Will the boys like cake? Oh, what a difference a year makes! Saturday started off with me frantically running around baking cupcakes, cleaning a little, and making a list of things I forgot to get at the store--David took care of that for me. I was trying to remember why I decided not to do anything the day before. Relatives started showing up around noon. We all ate lunch and talked for while. Then it was time for cake! Carson and Cameron didn't dig right in like I thought they would, they had to look it over and then they would look at all of us staring at them. They finished most of their cupcakes and Oscar even got a few bites too. They were so tired then so they took naps and then we opened presents once they woke up. Friends came over later in the afternoon, and we just sat and talked while the kids played. Thanks everyone, it was a great time!

So today I was changing Carson's diaper and noticed something odd about his belly button. I was worried at first glance, then quickly realized there was nothing to worry about. But, I am still very curious as to how this happened......hmmmm. Can you see it?

Here is a closer look. See it now? What is it?!?

An even closer look---that's right people, it's PEAS!!!
How did that happen?

Here is a couple pictures of poor little Cameron and how he feels during his miserable cold.
Poor baby! His nose will not stop running!

New Adventures....

We decided that the boys needed a haircut when we noticed that there was quite a bit of hair growing over their ears. I think Grandpa Wayne's comment was "Oh, fiddle!" when I told him that we thought they needed haircuts. David and I decided that neither one of us wanted to attempt this, so I met David at his appointment and the boys had their turns after Daddy. Most of the pictures of Carson are blurry as he did not want to sit still. Cameron did well and only gave the "stink eye" once or twice when she turned on the electric trimmer.

Another fun thing this month was that Carson decided that he likes to walk! No, not on his own yet. He walks behind his little scooter/walker. It's so funny when he goes from one side of the living room to the other and can't go any farther, he will turn and look at all the spectators to make sure they saw the whole thing. What a show! Cameron is not as into it as Carson, he would rather ride on the scooter than walk.

David turned 36 on the 19th of January, but we still have yet to do any celebrating. He was on the road most of the week and the weather has not been very good for anyone to come celebrate with us! I assume my upcoming birthday will be the same since it will be the same week as the twins turn one! That's right, in two weeks my little babies will be one year old already! People have always told me that it goes so fast, but it just seems so crazy! The boys share their birthday with their Great Aunt Ruth--Happy birthday, Ruth! I'm sure there will be a few pictures taken at their birthday party, so I will post more after that. Anyone is welcome to join us on Feb. 6th, at our house for the festivities!
