Bethany, the tent trailer

 We have been playing with Sydney and Maggie this week because my sister Natalie had her Gall Bladder taken out.  We did lots of fun things to keep them from missing mom and dad.  They slept at mom's up until last night when we popped up our tent trailer, which we haven't used for a while due to a lack of vehicle to pull it. We put all four kids in one of the pop-outs and they went to sleep great as you can see from this picture.
 Here's Sydney and Maggie.  (proof that Sydney was peacefully asleep)  Soon after this picture was taken, a case of homesickness and a tummy ache woke her up and she spent the rest of the night at Grandma's.  Maggie on the other hand loved the trailer and slept in til nine even with my noisy kids in there.
 Linden and Sarah were so excited to sleep in the tent trailer with their cousins.
 Mandee slept great in her snuggle bunny as we call it.
 Morning pictures of the kids!!


 The twins at breakfast.  They are 8 days apart and are quite alike.  Maggie wanted to sit by Sarah.
 Sydney and Maggie have had me for a hairdresser and I'm not very good at all.  Today, I made the three girls twins with rainbows.  I had to get a picture.

And we can't leave out Linden.  The kids had a great time playing with their barn and animals. They also had a great time with dress ups!  I love these kids.

Our Sarah Babe!!


 When you have twins with different birthdays as we do, birthdays are really close and as you will tell from the picture, they both wanted the same things:  a bike, a swimming party, and hot dogs for dinner.  They crack me up.
 Sarah's face when she saw her bike was priceless.  She was so excited for her birthday to come.
 She got a bouquet of balloons and noticed right off one of them was purple.  I think she has some Grandma Woodward in her.
 We have been going to Library day at the school, which has been awesome and Sarah has really gotten into Fancy "Mancy" as she calls it so she got a book for her birthday and she told everyone she gets to keep it.
 She put Mr. Elephant into her basket on her bike and wanted daddy to push her around the house for a minute.
 We have a fun birthday plate given to us for our wedding and Sarah had wanted French Toast on it because that is what brother had, but when I asked her the night before her birthday what she wanted on the birthday plate, she said Captain Crunch, so we put the bowl on the plate.  They don't get Captain Crunch very often.  Grandpa also gave her a famous breakfast sandwich from Woodward's Country Store, which she ate the sausage out of.
Riding her new bike.  In the morning she needed me to push her, but by aftenoon she had it down.

 The birthday girl got cold.
 I couldn't resist including this picture of Amanda.  She is so fun!!!
 Waiting for the Birthday cake.
 Blowing out the candles.  We made some really cute Mickey Mouse cupcakes for a joint Sarah, Maggie party, but I don't have pictures of them so Sarah just got a boring cake for her actual birthday.  
We are so glad to have Sarah in our family.
