Happy Birthday Little Monkeys!!!!

I really can't put in to words how happy I am that my babies (and Cody and I) made it through the first year.  They are one.  Goodbye babies... hello toddlers!

We have 2 toddlers.

Dear Alex and Ben,

You make having twins so (relatively) easy.  You are the best babies I could have ever asked for.  Even when you give me 3 of the most horrible poop stories ever in the same week, I am so happy to have you around. 

Love,

Your mom (A mom that is still disgusted by the 3 horrible poop stories in one week)

The boys had a nice birthday. 

They spent the day tearing up as much as they could find.  They have started going around unplugging everything.  Things they enjoy unplugging the most: the laptop, the tv, the electric throw blanket, the vacuum, and the battery charger.  I've done everything I can think of to stop them, but I can't unplug everything in the house!  Little monsters.

There are 3 houses on our street.  Our lovely neighbors from both of the other houses went out to dinner with us.  We had a good time!  Going out to restaurants is always so stressful for me, so it was kind of a blur.  I know the babies ate a lot of Apple Jacks, ate a lot of rice and beans, and took different approaches to eating their birthday cake.  Alex kind of picked at it and only ate big pieces if Cody gave it to him.  Ben just demolished his cake.  He ripped it apart with his hands, ate big hunks straight off the table, and smeared it on as much of his face as he could.  It was messy, but it was great.  Our neighbors got them some great gifts and we ate some pretty good Mexican food.

We'll have to plan a more official party with family later.  We were going to do one last weekend, but Cody ended up going out of town on business the week before.  We had some stuff around the house to take care of.  Instead of taking care of stuff, our furnace went on the fritz and we had to deal with that.  I'm glad we didn't have the party going on during that mess. 

I'll add some more pictures and video when I get them loaded.
