The twins are now 2 and 1/2 years old as of August 11th and they are getting cuter and cuter by the minute. We decided because they share a birthday each year that we will try and celebrate their half birthday with a small family celebration each August to double the fun! This year we made a cake and got them a few little gifts. It was really a lot of fun. It was the first time they really understood what "birthday" was and what blowing out candles was. The following few days, Linc thought we should "make cake" like we did on their half birthday. It's really all he talks about. The cake and the obnoxiously loud toys we got them. Linc got an airplane and Lili got a train. They are the WORST toys ever. Well, that's just my opinion. If you ask them, they are the BEST toys ever. They have not let go of them since they got them. Linc even has his airplane sleep in his closet when he goes to bed (because we won't let him have that noisy thing in bed, a lesson we learned in hotel in Amsterdam when he stayed up until 3am playing). Please enjoy the photos below from the past week.

| Only way to paint - outside (less mess for momma to clean up), in the nude (less mess for the clothes), with the potty by our side (momma can sit instead of having to take kids inside to pee) in case of an emergency. Hmmm... momma is sounding kind of lazy. |

| WAIT! Go get me a fork! By the way, he wanted to wear the dress. He pretty much wants to do everything that Lili does. He looks pretty cute, doesn't he?!!! |

| That's right. Linc is civil. Lili is a barbarian |

| Looking in my new bag for my airplane. We had to "camo" out Lili as she decided to take her dress off for the gift opening. |
 |
| Lili loves her train! Just like the ones we rode in Europe! |
 |
| Linc loves his airplane! Just like the ones he and his sister screamed on for 10 hours! |
 |
| Daddy thinks he is the coolest dude in town. Little does he know, he has kids now and his life is kind of boring. But shhhh.... don't tell him that. We pretend his life is still so happening and he is still so totally cool. |
