HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLES!
 4 years old, wow really seems like yesterday we waited to see if they could finally deliver you on the 24th of June 2010.  I truly had no idea what we were in for when you two were born.  You are the best of friends at times, I think you have an amazing twin bond for boy/girl twins and you constantly look out for each other.  

You could not be more different and more unique than kids who did not share the womb.

Mallory, you are fiercely independent, the quiet one and the caring one.  Your love for everyone is amazing and you take care of your baby dolls like they are real.   I love watching you with Suggie and the excitement you show for her.  You so badly want to hang with the older kids, I am trying to keep you in your age.  You are a trooper to go where ever we need you, be it a pageant or a ball game you are along for the ride and do not ask for much.

Minnie is still a favorite, as well as getting yourself dressed.  I have learned to let it happen and to take photos because you never know what your fashion sense will show.
You are most excited about being in Ms. Lauren's class and getting ready for Kindergarten.
You are breaking out of your shy shell and continue to amaze us little one.  You take the most random photos on our phones and I love finding them!

Cale, oh Cale. Our surprise and last baby.  You have taught me so, so much in 4 short years.  I never knew life could be lived even fuller than it was, you have shown us that.  Until you we didn't see life at 100 miles an hour.  You do not slow down, in fact you do not believe you need sleep.  You are a fighter and a lover and the same time.  You are a sweetheart and always know when I need a hug.  You are a little sneaky thing when you try to get your way but we cannot help to have our hearts melted.

Baseball, soccer, hockey you enjoy it all.  You will play with Monster trucks until you fall asleep. You have busy days and you have days you want to be home and veg on the couch watching movies. You will tag along with Caden and can keep up with the big kids.  You ride a bike better than most 4 year old kids and would live on your bike if we could.   I have loved watching you and Maddox develop a special bond and cannot wait to see what the future holds for you two.  You are the king of selfies and funny faces!

Being 4 - it is about change and realizing so much.  It is preparing for Kindergarten and it is showing mommy many last of the firsts.  Many lasts of the lasts.  You two have taught me to slow down a bit and enjoy it more.

I am grateful to be your mommy and I hope you have an amazing year!
