First Birthday Parties

The boys are now one year old. They are both 30in tall and in size18 month clothes already. Stevie weighs 21.6 lbs and Spence weighs 22.4. So we can still tell them apart by their weight difference. They had 2 birthday parties. One a little early at Paul's family reunion so the twins great grandma from Moscow, Idaho could be there and see the twins for the first time.

They got some fun toys their favorites being play phone, and anything that makes noise. Their other party was at my family cabin in Woodland. They had fun being cowboys and playing in the tall grass with Toby. It was fun to see the boys get into their cakes. At their first party Spencer loved the cake and made a huge mess . Steven didn't want to even touch it. The more we tried to have him taste it the more he got upset, when I tried to pick Steve up he stomped in the cake which he thought was more fun then playting with his hands. At their next party Stevie was the one who loved the cake and spence didn't want much to do with it. Though they both were not happy with their daddies help, when he put their faces in the cake.

Zoo adventures

So the twins had their first trip to the zoo and the animals loved them. I was amazed at how many animals came right up to the glass when we let the boys look in. Though the animals might have alos been more willing to come to the glass because it was a raining day and not alot of people go to the zoo in the rain.

I am so amazed at how different the boys personalities are. One more difference we learned at the zoo, when we went on the carousel, is that Spencer is more of the dare devil like his dad. While Steve is like his mom and doesn't like "scary rides".

Ithink that the boys enjoyed the zoo because they had their cousins Trinity and Ben to show them what to do, and what to get excited about.

So we have had a busy month, we have had are fist family vacation. Our first vaction was to Capitol Reef National Park for a family reunion. The drive down was alittle long for the twins to be thier car seats but they had a buddy. The boys had fun getting lots of attention from all the family, and swimming in the pool. The boys got to go sight seeing in their stroller






The boys favorite stop was the nature center they got to be rangers, and the was more stuffed animals then they had ever seen.
