I'm finally getting around to posting the twins first birthday party. Mom and Dad and my two married brothers and their families were here. {The ones that live here in the community}
I am by no means a professional decorator, but I enjoy doing it and this only the second cake I ever did, it didn't turn out the way I wanted it too, but the babies didn't mind
The birthday girls, Mckenzie and Miranda eating veggies. So healthy. LOL!!!
Mckenzie wasn't sure what to do at first and she was so worried about getting icing on her fingers so she very carefully dug her fingers into it and then would look at her hands and try to get it off, so unlike her sister who picked up the whole thing and tried to eat it that way but didn't work very well so tore into it with her hands and had a ball with it.
For their birthday gifts we gave them each a little animal car that you can ride and it of course has music on it and can get very noisy, thanks to their older sisters. It was enjoyed by all the cousins who had fun helping the twins open up their presents.

It's so hard to believe they are a year old. Where did the year go to? As I look back over the past year, I thank the Lord we are on this side. It has been a stressful year, my sickness and then trying to wean the babies from nursing, sleepless nights, teething, and now working through issues with our 5 year old, which is a story in itself. But the Lord has been good to us and given us strength for each trial and I praise Him for loving us even when at times we were unloving. We have had alot of answered prayer and so often I think I can solve my own problems or take care of the situation myself, and in turn, run into a brick wall and become frustrated and impatient and hard to love because I thought I could do it by myself and it never works. Will I ever learn? The Lord has really been working in my life the last while, especially in the area of faith and just giving my troubles to Him and not worrying. So often I'm scared He won't answer my prayer the way I want Him to, and that is not trusting. Increase my faith, dear Lord. I would like to request prayer for our 5 year old. We need lots of wisdom knowing how to help her. The thing of fear is very real to her and she doesn't seem to know what is making her scared but something happened one weekend when we were in TN, and we don't know what! It's been a stressful seven weeks for us and we think its getting better and then we'll have a setback and we are sometimes at our wits end, I could go into alot of detail but won't cause its time to hit the sack, but please pray that God would give us wisdom and strength and for healing for Gwenyth.
I'm so excited about tonight. We are going on date night all by OURSELVES!!!!! It has been ages since we've done this and I'm so excited about dressing up and going out with my man and to be able to eat and talk undisturbed. Mom is keeping the girls and our oldest is not excited about staying at Grandmas, she thinks she should go with us.
More to come!!!
