My twins


I look through my pictures daily. Not that I need to go through all of them everyday, I might be looking for something or uploading new pics or organizing. Today I decided to take my time. I can not believe how big my babies have gotten. I would give anything to freeze time and keep them little for just a little longer.
I LOVE summer I love being able to spend everyday with my children. Sometimes, maybe not ALL day. You know what I mean. Thank goodness for gyms, good friends and pedis. We need a break now and then.
I love doing things with my children. Going to friends, the library, movies, playing video games, whatever. I absolutely dread when school starts. It means they are having new experiences that I am missing out on. It isn't all about Mom and home. They are one year older. My heart breaks a little when they start school. Of course I get over it and we find other things to do. I just love to be carefree and play with my children and that stops when school starts. I can't imagine being anything other then a mommy. I am so grateful that I have a husband who does whatever he can so I can stay home-not because I have to but because I want to. I know he sacrifice's some of his personal wants so that I can be the kind of Mom I want to be. I want my children to look back and be happy with their childhood. To remember the love and laughter they had at home.
Our family motto courtesy of Brayden is
"We are the Both's, and we do fun stuff!"

Brayden has a very creative mind. So now we say it all the time.

When Cambryn and Brayden were little everyone would ask me if they were twins all the time Today as I was looking through pictures- I remembered that. These pictures were taken in 2004. Aren't they so tiny. I feel so blessed to have pictures to remember so many great things about my family and children. I absolutely LOVE pictures!



Do my kids look alike or what?






This is my cool kids jamming out to Jesse McCartney. I have no shame I am a teen at heart. We have dance parties frequently at our house. We jam out to all kinds of music. Of course now they are starting to get embarrassed by their mom's awesome moves. Well it gives for some good laughter :)



My cousin Todd ( Hillary's Hubby) always takes great pictures. I have some amazing pictures thanks to him.


I love this picture of Brayden. I love his Red hair. Which he calls Orange, even now. Last week at the beach someone made a comment about our kids hair and Jay made comment back about them having red hair. As we were walking away Brayden said " But dad I have orange hair not red." It has gotten so much lighter in the past 3.5 yrs. I love his blue eyes in this picture too.


When Cambryn was a baby we would say " Awww sweet baby" and this is what she would do. As she got bigger she kept doing it. Every time she realized she was getting her picture taken this is what she would do. Seriously every time!
