The Twins Turn Two!!!

The twins are now two years old. I can hardly believe that Dylan and Lindsey have been here for two full years but really can't imagine my life without them. We had a wonderful day celebrating starting our day with the all time favorite breakfast of pancakes, followed by a celebration with Grandma and Grandpa Lucas, skiing, nap, playing and then the party with cousins Maddy and Livvy and ending the day with Caterpillar cupcakes! The day was full but filled with lots of fun!!!

New Years

This picture was taken at Hardware Ranch which is a state run feeding program for elk in the winter. There is a sleigh ride we take in the middle of a field surrounded by elk. It was really fun and the twins loved it. We did this on News Years Eve with Michele and her family and Scottie and Dad.

This picture of the three kids holding hands. The started all the way in the back bedroom and didn't let go of each other until the end of the steps. Too cute.

This priceless picture is with Grandpa. He was very happy that they both wanted to read books with him. I know it made his night!

Skiing

Over Christmas we were able to go skiing. It was so nice to be in the snow. Dylan the typical boy, loved every second outside. He really enjoyed playing in the snow. Lindsey, on the other hand, stood in one spot . We went twice once with just our family and once with my Dad. Devin went one other time to get a break from all of us. Cross Country Skiing is something Devin and I love to do and haven't been able to go yet this year so it was a great opportunity and super fun.

Can't leave out this beautiful sunset picture behind my parents house. Oh how I love the sunsets in Lewiston.

Christmas

We had a fantastic Christmas season with both of our families in Utah. We were able to spend a few days before Christmas with my family. We made goodies, sang songs around the piano and opened presents. On the 23rd we went down to Selina, Ut to spend Christmas day with Devin's entire family. They all figured it had been nine years since the entire family had been together for Christmas. It was so much fun. We have never seen a Christmas tree so full of presents. We are so grateful for the opportunity to visit and be with everyone (Anna we missed you terribly!) during our trip. Lindsey still asks everyday "where day go?" Thank you for the sweet memories.

Funny picture of me, but shows my excitement and the only one with the twins on Christmas:)

Devin's Helicopter I gave him. He's like a little kid with thing!

The twins had to rip off their other PJ's when they saw Santa's Pjs in their stockings.

The excitment of having their own stocking.

Scottie excited about the bean bags I made him.

The sweet Scottie in his Elmo shirt. Dylan loved it when Scottie wore this shirt.

Devin posing with the Fillet Knife my Dad made him.

Olivia and Lindsey hanging out, having fun.

Thanksgiving

Devin's sister Leslie came to visit us for Thanksgiving! It was so nice having her here and the twins loved having their Aunt around.

We were able to spend a day in Portland seeing the Japanese gardens and the Portland LDS Temple, go to Silver Falls, and take a tour of covered bridges.

Thanks Leslie for coming! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Silly Kids

Since it has been raining a lot, we have been spending a lot of time inside. This has really brought out Lindsey and Dylan's silly sides. Here are a few silly moments we have enjoyed:)


This picture doesn't truly capture the moment... but Lindsey got behind Dylan and they both started laughing and squishing each other. It was a fun moment and I loved seeing them playing and laughing together. Priceless.

I came out of the other room to find that Dylan had taken his shirt off and put his hat on running around the living room.

This is what happens when I don't pay full attention for a few seconds:)

Mary's Peak Adventure

One afternoon the Twins and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and go up to Mary's Peak. It was beautiful and refreshing and so worth huffing and puffing up the trail pushing the twins.

It was a little windy up there :)

We had a little picinic at the top.

Jack-o-Lantern

Our first time carving pumpkins together.

Halloween

We have had such a fun Halloween season (if you call it that). We went to a pumpkin patch where we road on a hay wagon to this field and they dropped us off and let us pick a pumpkin and then came and got us. The twins had such fun time.

We then had a fun time trick or treating with some friends of ours. The twins really started to get into it.

This is our friend Brenden who came with us. He and Lindsey are great friends. At church on Sunday they were holding hands on the way to nursery. Too cute:)
