Tulips!

I love springtime because of the tulips! I was able to go to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point a few weeks ago and enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful, colorful tulips. I planted some tulips last fall in my own flower garden at my home and was so excited to see what they would look like this spring. And guess what? I found what I call a "twin tulip". You can see in the picture that this is one tulip plant but it has two tulips on it. Isn't that cool! I think this is a perfect tulip for me since I am a twin! I'll be sad when my tulips are gone in a few months, but I am enjoying them now!

Mckay's 4th Birthday!

Mckay had a fun 4th birthday yesterday! We had pizza for dinner and then an airplane cake for his birthday cake! Making an airplane cake was harder than I thought, so it didn't turn out as cute as the picture I saw online. But Mckay seemed to like it, especially because I used chocolate chips to decorate the plane. He also loved opening presents, especially his Cars shoes! He loves anything to do with Cars! Mckay also enjoyed his birthday donut tower. Our family has a tradition of making a tower out of donuts for the birthday kid. Because he turned four, Mckay got four donuts! He was nice enough to share them with his family!

I can't believe Mckay is four years old! That means it has been four years since I had all of the weird health problems. I definitely don't miss the time I spent in the hospital getting blood transfusions. I'm so glad I finally got better! It has been so fun to see Mckay grow into a fun, sweet little boy.
