Emily from day one of kindergarten said that she was not

she did ALL the events. We were so proud!

I'm not sure that is something the school

should be promoting.LOL

All Hannah talked about for months was the class tug of war.

(An event that only the upper class men participate in...

aka the big and mighty Third graders )

The kids getting ready to grab the rope

and PULL .

What an awesome day for the kids.

The sun was shinning.....free

The parents were cheering.....free

Friendly competition....free

And the school rented a snow cone machine which was.....Priceless!!!

I can hardly believe that it has been 2 years since Andrew and Ava made their way into the world in grand fashion! They have came a long way from the 5 pound preemies too small to even sit in their swings. So in honor of another year under are belts, we planned a big celebration at the Pump it Up.

" Happy Birthday Ava!!!"

" Happy Birthday Andrew!!"

Their favorite gifts... can you guess what they are?

Looks like he is actual reading it!

Dainty little Ava

ohhh a truck!

Andrew preparing to jump

Ava did not appreciate being told she had to wait in line.

I think she gets that look from her dad!

Ava was a total maniac on the slides...

She kept saying.. AGAIN....AGAIN!!

What a workout!

Andrew was too keen on the slides. But he loved to

jump in the ball pit.

Ava & Lilly tossing the balls

Group photo

( note the hand pointing and yelling for someone

to sit down . Can you guess to whom we are referring?)

" We want cake!"

Getting ready to blow out the candles

Ava getting ready to BLOW..

Zoo-rific!!

We took the twins..... and Lilly to the Akron Zoo to celebrate the babies birthday. We had a big birthday bash planned for that weekend but we thought we still should do something special with them on the actual day. So we picked up Lilly and headed to the zoo.
