A big THANK YOU!!

Sorry...No pictures yet...but while I'm still up, I wanted to tell everyone who came to the party today a BIG, HUGE THANK YOU!! It meant so much to Jared and I to have you all there to celebrate our little guys' big day! The boys very much missed their great grandparents in Florida!!! But they were loving the gifts you sent their way regardless! Thank you!!
We sent out Peas in a Pod invitations and went with a farm theme in the end! WOO! Super cute. The boys each dove into their own "Piggy" cake, complete with hot pink icing and black eyes...it was hilarious...but the fun soon ended when we realized there was AT LEAST 2 inches of frosting on it!! They got a liiiiitttllle too full on the frosting before they could even really get to the cake...We'll put up those videos soon!
For the most part we all just got to hang around and chat...eat some good food, and complain about the stupid Walmart Little People cake...Thanks alot for messing up my FIRST birthday cake Walmart!! The best part was watching little Noah walk around like he OWNED the Firemens lodge...and Nick pushing his little car around...in his own attempt of walking. But it was clear as they passed everyone, that they were checking all the ladies out... "HEY LADIES ;)" What a bunch of flirts.

It's so hard to believe that they are ONE YEAR OLD already. I can't even begin to believe how fast the time has gone by...and how much they have changed. I hardly remember a life without the boys in it now...they are such a huge part of Jared and I, and they couldn't be any more perfect! It was just a year ago now that I was sitting at Grandpa and Momo's house crying because Jared was sick when we brought them home, so it was my first night to do it alone..my mom and sister came to save me because I didn't think I was ready and didn't know how we would do it!! But now a year later, we've done it!! And I think we've done a pretty good job if I do say so myself. When people see us with the twins they always ask us how we do it...how it's possible...wouldn't it be so much easier with one? We wouldn't want it to be ANY other way! God gave us two at one time for a big reason...and He makes that clear everyday! Nick and Noah are without a doubt the sweetest, funniest, lovable little boys you'll ever meet...and we are so proud they are OUR sons! It's impossible to imagine one without the other. I can't wait to see what they'll be like another year from now, and just wonder what stories we'll have by then!
So I'd just like to thank you all for the roles you have played in our sons' lives, whatever they may be. You are all sooo important and such a big influence on our boys. Jared and I are so lucky for all the support we have here and we don't ever forget that. Something I will always know is that the boys can tell they are loved very much. We couldn't have made it this far without all of you.
Thanks again to everyone who came out for our big day and for all your amazing gifts and cards! The boys came home and got into everything...so I can assure you, it is ALL appreciated and will soon be ALL over our apartment floor wherever they can find a spare inch :)

We love all of you!


HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY NICHOLAS AND NOAH!!!
