Beach...Cheesy Family Pic Edition

I forced Tara to buy the fam coordinating outfits :)

Our trip to Seacrest beach was AWESOME!  We all had a blast...the twins especially. I have about a million pictures, but the family shots are the only ones I have managed to get through so far. Here's a few...

 

Albeit belated...

We had an awesome Mother's Day!  While Tara and I both celebrate each other on Mothers day...we have designated it has her day and then Father's Day is my day-- "Other Mother's" Day.  That way we each get a special day.

Tara is our glue.  She keeps everything together and running smoothly. She is the best mom a set of twins and an "other mother" could ask for.  She somehow knew we were going to have boy girl twins before we even had embryos...she has that mom sense. She can anticipate-and she is hands down the best person in the world at Getting. Things. Done. In the time it takes me to get dressed she will have cleaned up breakfast, changed 1 and a half kids into clean diapers and clothes and snuck in a load of laundry.

Tara I love seeing you as a mom:  reading books with funny voices, folding tons of tiny little clothes, teaching the babies your dance moves, being a little short tempered...just like your dad :)  Thank you for being our Mommy.

Our Easter Chicks

We had a great Easter this year!  Marmee came over to help the twins dye easter eggs for the first time.  It was interesting to say the least. Looking at the pictures....I bet you can guess what color most of the eggs were.

 

We went to Papa & Lolli's house to hunt easter eggs and have easter dinner.  You guys ate way too much candy, but you had a blast with the fam.

And how could i forget...the easter bunny brought you guys BICYCLES.  I will have to post more on those later-they are pretty sweet.  We didn't do a whole lot for your birthday, so we splurged a little on the bikes for easter :)

And now for what you really came for...

 

Pockets!
