The Big ONE!!!

June 17, 2014

Our sweet girls turned one year old today! Their birthday party is on Saturday, but I couldn't wait to post pictures of all we've been doing this past month!

First off, Auntie Nichole came to visit us over Memorial Day weekend. What a blast we had! We did plenty of shopping and even had a pool day!

 
 What we learned about Devyn: she LOVES popsicles and lemons.
She doesn't even make a sour face!
 
Pool party!
 

I finished up the school year and then the family immediately took off for Minnesota. My nephew, Gage, graduated from high school. What a perfect opportunity to take the girls on their first trip to Mommy's home state!
 Kinley was very proud of her cousin, Gage! Devyn....was napping.

 
Reunited with Courtney and Nana!

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Gage's accomplishments and reconnecting with friends and family! It was obvious everyone had anxiously been awaiting our arrival....our family had been busy buying and borrowing baby gear so that everything was ready for us when we arrived.

 One of the many toys Auntie Kim had waiting for us. Hold on Kinley!
 
Playing in REAL grass with Gage.
 
It has been 6 months since they've seen Grandma and Grandpa Ferson!
 
We took a trip to Oxbow park, a local zoo.
Kinley liked the black bear.

After a wonderful trip it was time to head home. Daddy had returned home earlier to get back to work, so Grandma and I brought the girls back home. What an adventure that was! After an airport shutdown, two missed flights, an overnight hotel stay with no luggage, and two flights including a 4-hour flight with twins, we made it home just in time to take Dad out for Father's Day dinner.

And to top off the past four weeks, today we had a mini birthday celebration. Dad brought home an ice cream cake (perhaps more his preference, than the girls:-).

After!!!
 
(I think they liked it! Kinley enjoyed splashing hers all over herself, the floor, and walls. Devyn actually preferred eating hers.)
