Happy Birthentine's Day

When your birthday is on Valentine's Day, you have to double celebrate.  It is after all, a day of love.  When you have twins born on Valentine's Day, you have to celebrate double time.  That's a lot of love, baby.  A lot of love.

We were graced with a little thaw yesterday so everyone went outside to enjoy the snow, before it turns into muddy slush.


"This is all a little too much for me."



This is the best one, I think.  Might have to turn this one into a header one of these days!



AJ, also known as the guy who doesn't need a mouth full of teeth to gnaw off the tops of all the sippy cups.



Yesterday we continued the tradition we started last year of taking Zack and AJ swimming for their birthday.  They don't like parties, cake, candles, singing, or games.  So we don't do the typical birthday things; they do love swimming, though, so we brought our little fishies back to their most natural habitat.

The sun was a little bright for Zack on the way there, and he doesn't wear sunglasses, but he improvised.

They apparently are going to continue into their 6th year much like their 5th, in showing utter fearlessness of the water.  Both of them prefer to be in up to their chins.



No birthday would be complete without a personal bag of Doritos.





A couple of times AJ was in up to his nostrils.  It didn't bother him, he sputtered a little, let me drag him back to where he could touch the bottom, and then bounced back over to where he barely could touch.

They went swimming and played in the snow on the same day.

More pictures and maybe video later of presents......
