Ashlyn and Braden are TWO!

I guess we can't call them "babies" anymore!  Since our last update, Ashlyn and Braden have really started to talk, still mostly one word at a time but they have a word for just about everything now.  If they don't have one, they ask "what's that?!?".  They are big into bug sightings, planes, trucks or just about anything that moves.  Ashlyn LOVES her babies.  They both still love books and are starting to sit on the potty!  The weather has been so warm so we have been outside pretty much every waking hour and they love to play in the water.  They still don't say each other's names without being asked but now call Peyton "Pate" and everytime they see something of hers they say her name. 

Braden has mastered the art of jumping with both feet off the ground and does so as much as possible.  Ashlyn has mastered the art of walking on stairs without holding on.

Trying to show us how old they are.

 P wanted to get in on the fun.

For their actual birthday, we went to Max and Erma's for dinner with Nana and Bob.  They loved the ice cream sundaes.  We can really tell they are growing up when we go to restaurants and they can sit patiently for quite a while now.  Nana gave some of the presents of the year - a leaf blower and a bubble lawn mower.  Braden cried when we made him come inside from playing with them that night.
