These two sweet hearts had a birthday! We celebrated their 5th birthday with their cute friend Dillon Matheson cause his birthday is in December too. Because of the busy holiday season and because they share all the same friends we decided to combine it and have one big bash.
This year it was at a gymnastic studio. The kids got to play around on the equipment and play organized games...they loved it!
Jaxon: This kid is something else!! SO MUCH ENERGY! He never quits. He's always asking to play with friends and he plays hard! He sweats like you wouldn't believe. 2 minutes of even the smallest physical activity and he is drenched with sweat. Baths aren't his favorite, but he definitely needs one every day.
He loves both his preschool classes: Mrs. Brenda's preschool and Mrs. Jenny at Inspired Child. He's super smart and does very well following directions, playing with other kids and learning so quickly. He loves to spell his name and is really good at writing it. He still sometimes writes his J backward and even though I've been hesitant to correct it cause it's so cute, I'm noticing his teachers are working on fixing it.
He has a bit of a lisp and can't say his R's, TH's or L's. We talked to a speech therapist, but decided to let him try to grow out of it. He's quick to correct himself of the words we work on a lot, like "eLLiot" and "Little", also, "i Like.." He's a trooper and doesn't get frustrated easy so he learns quick.
He loves his gymnastics class at IEGA on Monday mornings (the only morning he doesn't have preschool). He still rocks at doing his crazy eyebrows. It's amazing! He loves that he's the only one in our family that can do it too.
Jason brings our family so much joy and laughter. We sure love him!!
Miles: What a character! He is quirky and oh so fun! He is sweet and pretty low key. He is great at following rules. In fact, He loves to follow rules. He has a confidence about him and isn't dictated by anyone; me or even Jaxon. He prefers hanging with Jaxon, but when Jax runs off to play with a neighborhood friend Miles is more apt to hang at home watching kids YouTube or helping me with whatever I'm doing.
He also loves his preschool classes. He's a really great friend and has the sweetest smiles and cutest, infectious laugh.
He speak very articulately and even sometimes translates for Jaxon when people don't know what Jaxon is saying. He's done that since they were babies. Jaxon would babble nonsense and Miles would tell us just what Jaxon wanted. It still happens to this day. :)
He loves playing Mario Cart 8 on the WiiU. Even if he rarely wins, he still loves the race!
He loves hanging with mom and dad. He'll always choose us over friends or video games. He's not so much the hugs and kisses type of guy, but it easy to see that his love language is definitely QUALITY TIME.
His quirky personality and funny little antics keep us laughing! I spend all day thinking..."I need to write that down." He's super clever and really thoughtful. I love this boy so darn much! He adds such an amazing dynamic to our family. LOVE YOU MILES!
Miles - Dillon - Jaxon
Their best present - Mario Maker! So much dancing and excitement when they opened it. :)
The night of their birthday we ate at Red Robin and even got dessert.
Being 7 months pregnant makes for a very tired mamma. Any excuse not to cook is a great thing!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINS! 5 IS A GREAT AGE!
