Happy Birthday Scott! Happy Birthday Austin!

Our amazing twin boys are 9 years old!  These two are so much fun and add so much to our family!

Austin and Scott eating their special birthday breakfast

That evening, we had the Lewis family over for cake and ice cream.  Here is Austin with Grandpa.

Austin chose Texas Sheet Cake







Mom's heart could burst looking at these pictures--Austin and Scott are so precious!  Their personalities are so fun, they add such joy and fun to our family.  One big thing these two did in the last year was learn how to make the "r" sound well.  They went to private speech therapists once per week for over a year and practiced different phrases nearly everyday during that time period--sometimes multiple times/day.  There were times that it was really hard and frustrating, Austin or Scott or both at times felt like they weren't progressing and it would never end, but both kept working hard and kept at it until they got it.  Mom and Dad are so proud of them--proud of the speech, but more proud of the work and effort required to get there--these 2 boys are TOUGH!!

Family and Logan growing up

Ty got ahold of Mom's phone...

Scott reading to Ty

Logan is rarely seen without a stool.  He loves to carry it all over the house so he can get into anything and everything.  The computer desk is probably his favorite--he can access gum here, phones, the camera, the computer, pens, and cords.  Paradise for Logan.

Kate, Mom, Scott, Ty and Austin in the front

On a day off of school, Mom and all of the kids went to the Nickelcade.  The kids had a lot of fun!
