It happened a year ago...

Evie and Ramsey were born!!

What a year it has been. A complete whirlwind of fun and craziness. I think one year parties should be to celebrate the parents survival! We had a great week celebrating last week!
Their actual bday was the 25th. Jonathan had to go to Dallas for work and it just so happened he was on the same trip last year. He got home around 5:30 and my water broke at 6:00!

Mom spent the night with us and we went to wake up the girls singing Happy Birthday!

They thought we were silly.

The beginning of our sugar high started with cinnamon rolls for breakfast

They were enjoyed by all!

We met Rob and Amber for lunch at chikfila

We went shopping for last minute birthday party things then met Hayley, Charlie, Garland, Emily and Ella at Muddys for a cupcake( we already had some ice cream at chickfila.....)

Ella ate our leftovers!

My favorite part of the day was when this sweet girl sang happy birthday to Evie and Ramsey...melt my heart

I would like to say that Jonathan told us we were not allowed to celebrate until he got home...he said it wasn't really their birthday until 8:59 and 9:00 pm...let's hope he doesn't read the blog.

When daddy got home he installed their new car seats and we went for a ride to get dinner.

They love facing forward!

I do have a question for you older wiser moms. They can still fit into their baby car seats. Should i keep them in those for a little while longer, safety wise, or do you think they are ok front facing. They are 20 pounds and of course one but i know people are saying rear facing is best for longer. The problem is, we got the graco 3 in 1 which we LOVE by the way, but you can not set them up rear facing. So if we choose to continue rear facing we would have to use their baby seats. What do you guys think?

This looks extrememly uncomfortable!

They stayed asleep this way so i guess it wasnt as uncomfortable as it looks, but i feel like if we got in a wreck they would break their necks. You can recline the seats a little bit and i might try that then reinstall them. I have neck things for them like you use on an airplane so i could try that?
anyhoo, sorry to get off on a car seat tangent, just thought i would see what you guys thought.

I hope the girls had a great birthday. I think i enjoyed it more than they did. I still can't believe they are one. They are getting so big, eating big girl food and feeding themselves. They are into everything, pulling up , standing and furniture walking. Ramsey will actually stand for a long time but hasn't quite moved her feet forward all the way. Anyday now i guess!

I love my babies so much and yes some days i want to scream and give up and then days like today they make me so happy and i am honored to be their mommy. The Lord has blessed us more than we could imagine and their is nothing we can give him in return that would be worthy.
I am always reminded of Third days song "offering"
Magnificent Holy Father
I stand in awe of all I see
Of all the things You have created
But still You choose to think of me
Who am I that You should suffer
Your very life to set me free
The only thing that I can give You
Is the life You gave to me
This is my offering, dear Lord
This is my offering to You, God
And I will give You my life
For it’s all I have to give
Because You gave Your life for me
I stand before You at this altar
So many have given You more
I may not have much I can offer
Yet what I have is truly Yours.
I am reminded of how angry i was with him when Catherine Grace passed and yet he chose to think of me and bless me with two more little lives to love and i am truly grateful.
It is really great to see how much people love and are thankful for our babies as well. I have never gotten so many emails,texts, cards and even videos of sweet friends singing happy birthday to Evie and Ramsey as i did on their birthday. I love when people say that Evie and Ramsey are an example of Gods Goodness. It is really great to hear that!
Thank you for loving them as much as we do!
Happy birthday sweet girls!
