I'm going to be an Aunt!

My little sister and her husband are expecting their first baby at the end of May. It is a little girl and her name will be Piper Elizabeth! We are all SO excited! Here's a picture of Paige and her cute belly....





Note to Paige and Trev......When we get to Portland, I'll be the one in pink! Can't wait to see you!

Ben and McLean's new playroom

Even though we are waiting for our house to sell, we had to make a space for the boys to play and to put all of their stuff! So, we no longer have a guest room, but the boys do have a new playroom! They are really enjoying it and I am loving having my house back to normal (well, as much as it can be with thirteen month old twins running around!) We didn't want paint or do anything that we couldn't take with us since we will hopefully be moving soon. So, I tried to make up for the plain walls with some fun artwork and window treatments, as well as the colorful furniture of course!

The new playroom!

Canvases I painted to match the fabric
The reading corner

They have fun reading......
...but they also love jumping in their chairs!

Sitting at their table during snacktime...such big boys!

A Beautiful Day

The weather has been crazy lately. We have gone from snow at the beginning of the week to beautiful springtime weather this weekend. I much prefer the warm weather! This afternoon we joined some friends downtown for a picnic by the river, definitely one of my favorite parts of Greenville. It was absolutely gorgeous and I think the boys really enjoyed being outside. They are at such a fun age now where they love to look at everything and soak up new experiences!

SNOW!!

This evening it began to snow and after a few hours we had a pretty good bit on the ground. We took the boys outside and were so excited to show them snow for the first time! Hope everyone enjoys the snow!

So Funny...

I don't typically post stuff like this, but this was so hilarious that I had to. Gene and I saw it last night and about fell out of our chairs we were laughing so hard.

Ben and McLean are 1!

Our sweet boys are one year old! I am blessed beyond my wildest imagination by these two little miracles and it is so hard to believe that this first year has gone by so quickly. We celebrated the big day with two parties. One this weekend here at our home and one last weekend at my parents home. It was wonderful to celebrate such a special occasion with our friends and family.
