How did I get such cute kids???

My friend Rachelle just started a photography business so we had a fun photo shoot with her for Andy's and Ashlyn's 3 year pictures. They turned out great! Check out Rachelle here.

Taylor is my first born. There is something special about that first born child...there is a unique bond between her and I. Everything is a first experience. It is all exciting and scary. I definitely make mistakes along the way as I figure out to handle the start of school, the crushes from boys (seriously kindergarten?), homework, and the influences of the world on my precious girl. She has matured so much over the last couple months. She asks a lot of questions. I asked her why she asks so many questions and she replied "Because I want to know everything!" She is a big kid now. And we are so proud of her.

And then there is Ashlyn, our sunshine girl. Her laugh, her voice, her spunk, her pronunciation of words, her animated face, her daring tricks, her addiction to candy, and the things she says make us laugh everyday. Little girls don't get much cuter than this.

And MY boy! Andy is a momma's boy. Tyler doesn't like me to admit that publicly but he is and I like it! The kid is like 36 pounds and 40 inches tall but requires me to "Hold You" quite often throughout the day. Despite being 37 weeks pregnant, I carry him. He gives the best loves. He has the best eyes, the best dimple, the best love for his twin, and has recently showed us that he is a smart boy. He asks lots of questions throughout the day also with lots of Why's in response. He is sensitive and melts out hearts.

THE dimple.... just like his dad!

Having a sister is a great blessing. I have 2 and I feel very blessed to have them in my life. Taylor wanted nothing more than to share a room with Ash when all the room changing was taking place. She loves to help her, dress her, play with her. Ash loves to follow Taylor around ALL day. She wants to be just like her Tay Tay.Having twins is so fun! I am so grateful that I have been able to have the experience of being a mother to twins. They love each other. They look out for one another. They spend every minute together and for the most part, never really fight. They love to play with one another. If one is upstairs and the other downstairs, they are quickly asking me where the other one is. They have a bond. They have something unique and special. My 3 darlings are definitely a blessing in my life. They challenge me everyday. They push me to be better, to seek out advice and wisdom in an effort to be a better parent. They make me laugh, they make me smile, and drive me crazy but more than anything else, they complete me and I am so grateful for each one of them and their individual personalities that make our family what it is.I hope they always remain close. I hope they rely on one another, support one another,
and have fun together and always remember how blessed they are to have each other.
