15 years, almost 9 years and 11 months!

In the midst of all this "burn center" saga, I managed to forget to blog about the twins' birthday. In my defense, we were in Vegas so I really didn't have time so here's goes. I have been AJ and Ali's mom now for 13 years......wow! How time flies! They turned 15 which means we have exactly 6 months until they get behind the wheel...scary! Being their mom has been such an amazing experience for me since I was only 20 when I met them, they have really taught me a lot about being a mom, being patient, and also learning from mistakes along the way. I could not have asked for a better set of "step kids" even though I never think of them in that way but I also recognize that it could have been very hard raising kids that were not mine and me being so young....but they really made it easy by being such great kids. Anyhoo, here's a little blast from the past and then what great looking teenagers they've turned out to be.....

Also, I can't forget to blog about my cutie pie, Jack who turns 11 months today and stay tuned for Ryan's 9th birthday coming up in 12 days!!!!!
