Peyton & Landon's 3rd Birthday Party!!

Peyton & Landon turned 3 years old this past Saturday (6/11). I can't believe that they are 3 already! It feels like just yesterday I was waddling around with my HUGE belly wishing for them to come. I actually worked all the way up to the day I went into labor with them.....and I made it 35 1/2 weeks along (which is almost full-term with twins). I think the boys knew mommy was ready for them to come, because just hours before my water broke, I decided I couldn't do it anymore (work), and I was going to tell my boss that my last day of work would be that Friday (6/13). My body was telling me something, huh? The boys were born at 5:11am that next morning by c-section. They were perfectly healthy little boys, Peyton - 5lb. 15oz and Landon - 5lb. 10oz. To this day, Peyton has always been bigger than Landon and now weighs 3 lbs. more than Landon! I thought I would share a picture of my HUGE belly and a picture of the boys when they were born, as well as some from their 3rd birthday party. Enjoy!

This was taken in the hospital by Kristen (Peyton - left, Landon - right). The nurses actually came up with nicknames for them, in order to tell them apart. It was "Peyton Pucker Up" (since he had big lips) and "Landon Little Lips". We had to tell them apart by their lips! :)

The boys' 3rd birthday party:

Como Zoo & Chaos Water Park

Jayden's BB4C class went on a field trip to Como Zoo in May and I was able to go along with her. It was a lot of fun! I think the kids enjoyed the rides more than seeing the animals, but they all seemed to have a great time! Jayden's favorite animal was the Zebra and her favorite ride was the swings.






Chaos Water Park
A few weekends ago, we went to Chaos Water Park in Eau Claire with our friends (Sara, John, Chloe & Ian Griffin). This is the first time the boys have ever been to a water park and Jayden hasn't been to one since she was 2-3 years old. They loved it! Peyton had so much fun in the kiddie area, going down slides and playing with the water, but Landon didn't enjoy it so much. :( He played for about 10 minutes and then got scared and wanted one of us to hold him the entire time. He actually fell asleep for an hour in Daddy's arms! Jayden had a blast and even went down the BIG water slide all by herself! She loved it so much, she kept going right back in line to go again.

Jayden's Graduation

Jayden graduated from BB4C (4 year old kindergarden) on May 31, 2011. They had a little graduation ceremony, and they actually wore caps & gowns! It was so cute! They made a slideshow of pictures from throughout the year and also sang some songs. I can't believe my little girl is starting kindergarden next year! :)





The boys patiently waiting for the graduation ceremony to start......
