Lincoln and Daniel turn 3

I can't believe my little baby's turned 3! They are turning into such big boys. They have completely mastered potty training and are slowly getting better and better with their speech and getting past Twin Speak. And will hopefully be getting into preschool this fall.

For the first two birthday's Brandon and I have just picked out something that we thought they would like for a theme. This year when I asked what they wanted on their cake they responded with Spiderman on a Woo Truck (Firetruck). At first I thought they were crazy, but after talking to the cake lady, she was so excited to do it!

Isn't it awesome?!

They were so excited to see the cake!Greyson even got in on opening presents

We don't do huge celebrations for birthdays. We just keep it at family memebers for now. We figure the day to invite double the amount of friends will be here soon enough, so why not enjoying this stage for now?! Brandon's parents Jeff and Carol came down from St Louis and got the boys Robot bedding for their big boy room. At first I don't think Jeff and Carol thought they would like it, but they were so excited! They had to sleep with it on their beds last night. Beth and Gordon and the boys came over too and got them a Batman Airplane that shoots out coin things and a Batman helicopter. They had to sleep with those in their beds last night too. Mimi and Pappaw got Lincoln and Daniel Big Wheel Tricycles. They can't wait to get outside and ride them. Aunt Heather and Uncle Nate even sent them presents from Alaska. They got them the cutest preschool backpack from Pottery Barn Kids. The boys wouldn't take them off for the rest of the day. Brandon and I got them a Imaginex Castle and a couple of dragons.

For dinner we did the traditional dinner at Nakato's, which was yummy! When we got home we gave the boys a bath and put them down a little early since they skipped naps from all the exitement. So the adults sat around and played some Mexican Train Domino's. I think Jeff and Carol left around 11 to head back to the hotel.

Did I mention that this was the first time that we have ever been able to host a birthday party at our own house! We were so excited! And the twins birthday always falls around Mother's Day. It was pretty cool getting to deliver them just a few days before mother's day, and getting to celebrate my first Mother's day in the hospital. But now with birthday celebrations, it can kinda get over looked. But Brandon made sure that Sunday afternoon, I got to do things that I enjoyed. After church he put the boys down, and let me take a all afternoon nap! And then went to Springfield to pick up our favorite Chinese for take out! Later that evening the boys got to call their great grandma which they share a birthday with and sing Happy Birthday. She was elated!

All in all it was a great weekend
