Austin and Colby turn 4

I keep asking myself where 4 years have gone. These are the boys that entered the world way to early and each weighed a little over 2 lbs each. They have become true 4 year old boys and I wouldn't have it any other way. They do each have a sensitive, caring side and love each other very much though most of the time instead of hugging they are boxing or wrestling. Guess because they are boys.
Colby is my shy one. He loves to read and his writing is exceptional. He can write his name and most letters. He is his Daddy's bestest buddy. He loves his stuffed animals and watching movies. He weighs about 32 pounds and is catching up on the growth chart. His tubes in his ears have finally fallen out and he passed his hearing test with flying colors. He loves the water and is looking forward to swim lessons and learning to water ski. Austin is my outgoing one. He loves to talk and is normally only quiet when he is asleep, if he is not talking in his sleep. He loves to play going to work or on a trip and always has to have a set of keys. He enjoys coloring and drawing but doesn't like doing school work like letters and numbers. He is a mommy's boy right now but thoroughly enjoys wrestling with daddy. Austin weighs about 35 pounds and is solid. Without a doubt he is on his way to becoming a great football player.
Once again Mommy attempts to make both boys happy with a cool birthday cake. It would be much easier if Lou Lou lived closer to us.
The couldn't wait to have some cake.
All they wanted to do was blow out the candles.
Ok here we go.
Wow they got the best birthday gifts a little boy could ask for...brand new bikes.
Austin has all his safety equipment on and is ready to give his new bike a try.
Here goes Colby to try his new bike and scooter.
Daddy is a good teacher and Colby did an awesome job.
Wonder how many crashes, scrapes and bruises these two are going to have.
Pa-pa got them new scooters.
Here comes Colby.
Ok we just have to teach them to go the same way so they don't crash into each other.
All my guys on the boys' big birthday
Austin is ready for all the presents
"Mommy, this one is just my size, can I have it?"
Colby and Austin, you both have made me and your Daddy so very proud. You have come so far in just four short years and we look forward to the future with you and watching you grow even more. You two have completed our family and we couldn't have asked for better kids than you two. We love you and we thank you for the smiles and the memories.
