Our fellas turned 2 today...we are not quite sure how the last two years have gone by so unbelievably fast!  Our boys are so big, and so much fun.   Here are some picture of us celebrating the big day!

The boys woke up to a room full of balloons...they LOVED it!!!

A tired Matty Bear loving one of his balloons!

ooohhhh ba ba ba!

 They each grabbed a helium balloon and started running...and they didn't stop until breakfast!

Nathan checking this one out...should I open it...

Nathan giving it a go

Matthew checking this one out

Lucas must have seen Nathan having fun sitting on a gift so he thought he would give it a try too!

Bennett and Venice playing with one of the new toys!

I just had to throw this one in there to show how badly the boys need to get their hair cut. We try to tuck it behind their ears all the time but every once in awhile it sneaks out and man is it ever long!!!

Lucas found some balloons to play with

and so did Matthew!

Nathan also had a cute picture with the balloons but I just delelted it by accident and anyone who uses blogger knows how hard it can be to insert a picture to the end....and I am too tired to start over :(

Thanks again to everyone who was able to make it to the fellas party, all the people who helped me get things ready for the party ahead of time and also to our clean-up crew, we love you all!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

So today was the fellas first birthday...where has the time gone??? John and I feel like the luckiest two people on the face of the earth. Last year at this time I do not think that we had any idea what we were getting into. We had no idea how much love, fun and giggles we were in for. We had no idea how many fun times we would have with our boys and our family and friends. I did not think it was possible but I think this last year with the boys in our lives we have become even closer to our family and friends. We honestly have the HAPPIEST lives anyone could ask for.

The boys and I had a fun day while dad was at work (minus their one year shots - but the boys were total troopers). They tried some new foods and even rode in their forward facing carseats! GAK, Grammy and I took the boys and met Mel and her fellas for a date at the park. Bennett surprised the boys with some balloons and timbits, they were a BIG hit!!!

We also had our family party for the boys. We had a cupcake and ice cream celebration. Here are some pictures.

We had our ice cream in chocolate dipped waffle cones or bowls...notice the blue green and orange sprinkles!yummy cupcakes
Custom waterbottles

Ice cream toppings

Nathan was so funny, he just kept squeezing the cake in his hands!

Ready to get out!After Luc and Nate got out Matthew kept eating

and eating

and eating!

The boys got so messy we had to take them in for a quick tub. Nathan loved being in the tub but was not impressed about having to get out so quick!

After Matty finally finished eating dad gave him a bath...he was the only one that needed his hair washed!

meanwhile outside people started making their ice cream treats!

Opening presents, the boys were spoiled, thanks again everyone!

G-pa Sinclair is in Toronto so we were trying to skype him so he could see the boys eating their cakes...here we are trying to get him back online!

Aunty K in very talented and she wrote the boys a great poem for their birthday, here it is...

Oh my goodness, you boys are one

Hit the jackpot, we must have won

You brighten our days with your smiling faces

Just full of joy, there are no more spaces

Matty Bear, or "MB" as your Dad would say

An eskies linebacker no doubt, one day

Your mom puts you in green so we all know

That it is your bum we are wacthing go go go!

Nate the great, so great indeed

Except that time on my arm you peed

Sorry about those Sinclair ears

But they look good on you so have no fears.

Lucas is the littlest lizard

So small but strong, you're like a wizard.

"Don't mess with me" I see you say

then slyly smile and look away.

Today is your birthday 08/24

and heres to 101 more.

That's 303 for those keeping tabs

Happiest birthday to our favorite 3 lads!

Thanks again to everyone that has been a part of our lives for the past year and helped in making the most wonderful memories! We are so excited for all of the adventures to come!
