Look out Hollywood!
And because they are twins they posed the same way without even trying!
Love them!

Attitude!
Because sometimes the stars align and I get my good camera out and then I get this!
Look out Hollywood!

Awana Awards Night!
We ended our Awana club early this year due to spring sports and some of the leaders coaching and being in the local play.
The girls were so proud of their ribbons for finishing their first Cubbies books. They love teacher Krista there in front of them too.
Noah finished his entire first Sparks book and reviewed it and was getting started on the "extra credit" book.
Cory didn't finish his book for T&T, but according to the director the books were really hard so no kids finished them and they are actually revamping the curriculum next year. He also got a late start due to soccer season and missing the first 6 weeks or so in the fall.
Daddy is a leader so Mommy got a free evening once week about half the time this year. They all love it!

New Book Release Party with Becky Wade
A female bodyguard plus her star NFL client plus danger equals a great recipe for romance! Her One and Only, book four in Becky Wade's Porter Family novels, releases May 3. To celebrate, Becky is hosting an author chat party on her Facebook page on May 5 at 5 PM PDT/8 PM EDT. Join Becky for an evening of book chat with other bookworms and prizes.
Plus a portion of all pre-sales and sales the release week of Her One and Only will be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. For more details on how to purchase a copy, click here.
About the Book
After ten years in the NFL, super star Gray Fowler is accustomed to obsessive fans. But when Gray starts receiving death threats from a stalker, his team hires an executive protection agency to guard him until the culprit is caught. Dealing with bodyguards 24/7 is a headache, especially when one of them is a young, beautiful woman. How can a female half his size possibly protect him better than he can protect himself?
Dru Porter is a former Marine, an expert markswoman, and a black belt–none of which saved her from disaster on her last assignment. In order to rebuild her tarnished reputation, she’s determined to find Gray’s stalker and, since relationships between agents and clients are forbidden, avoid a romantic attachment between herself and the rugged football player with the mysterious past.
Yet every secret that leads Dru closer to the stalker also draws her closer to Gray. As the danger escalates, they’ll survive only if they can learn to trust their lives — and their hearts — to one another.

Wordless Wednesday: Nesting
We have a little spot by our driveway bordered by rocks that used to have flowers. Hope filled it with a dozen or so round river rocks from our yard and laid on top of them. When I asked what she was doing she said "laying on my eggs".

Four
Four is...
full of energy,
and spunk,
and sass!
It's knowing all your letters and pointing them out. It's writing your name on things and wanting to know what specific things say in books.
Four is conversations about all the things in the world and observing all the little details. It's wanting to help do everything Mommy is doing and yet not when you are asked!
Both girls are still almost identical in height and weight although they go back and forth by who is bigger by quarters of an inch and a pound or two. They come in slightly smaller than average for their age, but considering they are twins and were fairly small to start with that's normal! About 41 inches tall and 38-39 pounds. They wear size 4 and a few 5's.
They live in their own twin world, so different than the boys at this age that I remember. They are so keyed into each other that they will go and do what the other one is doing and I think simply not even hear anyone else, especially if they are moving.
These girls are so engaging and active. They are the same yet different in a million different ways. Many days it's exhausting trying to keep up with them and yet twin snuggles make everything right in the world. I love my girls!

Four is very independent... when you want to be!

Birthday Number Four
Now that it's officially April I probably should chronicle my kid's birthdays! Stupid plague that got me down just after the girl's birthday...
We did things a little differently for them this year because their party was away from our house, but their gift was too big to transport...
I was pretty excited for them to see it. They didn't ask to watch cartoons for days, just got up in the morning to play with it!
The novelty has somewhat worn off now, but it's still pretty cool. Except for the teeny tiny forks and knives that half of them immediately went missing.
We held their official party at McDonald's this year. Since it was their turn for a party and every time we drove by they would sigh wistfully I figured it would be a hit, and it was!
13 little kids running around plus regular dinner people and it was kind of wild and crazy, perfect for turning 4!
I had to make gluten free cupcakes for Cory so these supplemented the cake they provided. And they had ice cream. Oy, so much sugar! (and also treat bags with more junk in them)
Much fun was had by all and they were having so much fun playing on the toys that we just brought the presents home and opened them here. Lots of fun play dough, art supplies, and dress up accessories.
Too cool for school in her new shades, Joy was playing with the doll house here the next morning.
I bought the Hape brand doll house because it looked pretty solid and also was simple and unbranded (Disney) so I figured it would stand the test of time. It wasn't too hard to put together and there are lots of fun features! Unfortunately the storage system I bought to set it on isn't deep enough so we're going to have to get a bit creative, but I think we'll figure it out. For now it's living in the living room and that works okay.
Four year old portraits coming soon!
