Birthdays!!!

Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE birthdays, weddings and baby showers! There is something so joyful and pure in all of them. So much hope and so many possibilities. I really do think they are magical and so when it comes to celebrating the day I was able to hold our tiny blessings for the first time I can't help but love every single moment. 

For those who do not know, both Kenlee (3) and Emerson (1) were born on August 13. I do think it is because I said pre-children that I would like to have babies born in any month BUT August because its such a blah month. God has a great sense of humor. Needless to say, it is a very special month for us now!! We get many comments on their birthdays most of which being "they are going to hate that when they grow up!" Lucky for them, they have a mommy that would never let that happen. What a gift to have one another and what a thing to get to celebrate!!

This year, we had a county fair theme for their birthday.

 

  

                                            

 (Our cameras' settings got all messed up for the most important parts.. the pony ride and the cake. Thankfully others caught some of these, but I am still searching for a cake one so excuse the extreme over-exposure!!)  

It was a great party with so many of our friends and family and we are so humbled and thankful for all the people who love our children and are a part of their lives. 

On their actual birthday however, it was just the four of us for breakfast. (Kenlee said it was too early for a real smile. Apparently Emerson and I agreed)

 Not really fans of the hats, but big fans of the cinnamon rolls! (Don't judge me, it is one day a year!)

 Kenlee wanted to go swimming for the day so we headed over to Nonnie and Papa Dells and spent the day with them! (I have many pictures of ya'll mom and dad, but I figured swimsuit pictures would not make for a happy Nonnie or Papa Dell!)

 That night we went to a Rangers game, which was Kenlee's request and she LOVED every minute of it. It is  her "favorite thing" if you ask her right now.

 I remember clearly and vividly the days they were born, and I can't believe so much time has passed!!

  I say it all the time but I am just so thankful this life is mine. It is SUCH an honor to be a mommy to Kenlee and Emerson and this is my dream job. I am humbled everyday that Nolan and I get to spend the rest of our lives being their parents. Happy Birthday Kenlee and Emerson!! - Mommy and Daddy
