Happy Birthday Bubba & Fish

Oh these are sweet little twin boys! I can't even believe they are 9. Where has my time with them gone? I am so grateful for them in our lives, what special little people they are.

When they were born people always use to ask (and still do), "are they alike?" and the only description I could muster at the time was "no, one was my soggy donut and the other my crispy chip" and that little metaphor to describe them when they were newborns still is true today. Though they are very different, these 2 boys love each other deeply.

Bubba is happy, cheerful and full of life. He is motivated by happiness. He is eager to laugh and crack jokes. He is extremely affectionate (...hummm I wonder where he gets that?) and gives the juiciest kisses. He likes to read, do math, build legos and being together with family and friends is very important to him. He is very free spirited and doesn't care much about how he looks or the clothes he wears. He is a natural leader, he is very creative, imaginative and spontaneous. He likes to collect money from other country's. Bubba loves to wrestle around, with anyone. When he was a baby he was so squishy and lovable and had a scent that was so delicious, I still remember it to this day. He has bubba lips that swell when he sleeps, just like me.

Fish is thoughtful, kind intuitive and loving. He is obedient and wants to follow rules. He is a spiritual giant and understandings things of spiritual nature easily. He is enormously faithful and knows prayer will work every time. He loves things to be clean and orderly. When he was 3 he started getting up at 3 or 4 am to go watch morning cartoons, it never did seemed to bother him that the only thing on TV at that hour was infomercials, anyway without fail when we would realize he was awake we would get him and take him back to bed and low and behold his bed was made... every time. Fish, loves the finer things of life, he has a knack for quality. He loves to skateboard and be with his friends. Fish like Bubba is a natural leader. He is very conscientious about his hygiene and likes his clothes clean, unwrinkled and would never go anywhere without smelling good and his hair done. He likes fun "adult" food, he has excellent handwriting and artwork.

What can I say the combination of these beautiful children is just perfection. Yes they are dirty, loud, sometimes smelly and just 100% boy but they are still OUR boys and we love them like crazy!
