Pumpkin Patch 2013


A few weeks ago we took the kids to the pumpkin patch.
We went with Nick's dad, step-mom, and little brother Cooper.
We've gone to this particular patch the last 3 years and we've always had fun!
It is definitely one of our favorite things on our October Family Bucket List!

Here are some pictures I took that afternoon!

 My sweet girl was pretty unsure about the whole thing!
Ha. She is such a diva!

 Reagan couldn't wait to ride the horses again!

 Hayride time!

 Getting a picture of all 3 at the patch proved to be pretty difficult!

Everyone had a great time!

Trendy Tot Tuesday- Twins Birthday Edition


I'm linking up today with the lovely girls over at Trendy Tot Tuesday!


For the twins' birthday party, we went with a nautical theme.
I found these perfect nautical outfits at Gymboree!

I ordered Harper's headband from Etsy.


I ordered Reagan's shirt from my girl Leah over at Simply Made with Love!
It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but its an anchor and his name in the matching party colors.

The Twins First Birthday!

Oh my word. Here I go again slacking on the good old blog!

Here is a review and tons of pics from their birthday celebrations!

Their actual birthday was a Friday so we all had school.
I couldn't find any birthday outfits/onesies that were short sleeved (it was still really hot here!), so I ended up making my own from iron-ons I found at Hobby Lobby.


Reagan was so excited for their birthday.  
He woke up and went running into their room singing to them both. 
It was precious.

We had their birthday party on the Sunday following their birthday.
We kept it pretty small. Just family and close friends.
We knew we were going to do it our house, and didn't have a whole lot of room for a big party.  We had about 30 adults and 12 kids.

I knew I didn't want to do the typical first birthday or twin theme that you see everywhere. No offense to those of you who did those! They are cute.. but I just wanted something different.

So I decided on a nautical theme.
 It flowed with their nursery theme and was gender neutral!

Here are some pics from the big day!

Here is the invite I had made from Etsy.

My 1 year olds and I.
(More about their outfits on Tuesday!)

 I ordered subs from Subway and had munchies. Pretty low key!



 Party decorations.

 The birthday thrones.


Cupcakes for the guests.

The babies' smash cakes.

 Party hats for the guests.





 Nick and I with our birthday babies!

 Our family of 5!

 I just love these sweet babies.

 Seriously, mom.


 Ready to sing to each of our kids.


They were both so timid and delicate about eating the cake.
Not at all how I pictured Hudson to be with his smash cake!
Harper, I knew, would need some major coaxing!



We basically had to shove it in their faces!
Ha.


I love this action shot.
 Our living room was full of the people we love, just talking and laughing.


And the big toy hit- this ball popper.
All the kids loved it!
Good present choice Reagan!
(He got this one for Huddy!)
