Happy 10th Birthday Jackson and Josh!!!

For Jackson and Josh's 10th birthday they decided to go to King's Dominion instead of have a birthday party.  I was happy with that because I LOVE riding roller coasters!  They also brought their friend Kayden who is super sweet and fun to be around.  The weather was perfect and the lines weren't long so it was a fantastic day!  

Here we are when we first got there...



Our first ride of the day was the new one, Delirium, and it was intense but fun!
This was about how long most of our lines were!

Josh on the bumper cars...
The Anaconda really bounced our heads around and we all came off with headaches...
In line for the Intimidator which is the highest fastest and scariest roller coaster!



We all loved it and did it again!
Josh and Kayden riding in front on the Volcano...
All day they watched the clock waiting for their birth minutes (2:41 and 2:42).  Jack LOVED being "older" than Josh for one minute!  Here they are as TEN YEAR OLDS...
Lunchtime!  $15 per nasty burger combo meal...so not worth it...


After lunch we headed to the waterpark...
Obviously I couldn't get pics while we were on the water slides but here's one from the wave pool...
End of the day pic...
The souvenirs they picked out...
Since we got home super late we decided to do presents and cake the next night.  They chose Logan's Roadhouse for their birthday dinner...

Jack got new colors today, pink and teal...
They sang to them at Logan's which they loved...




Jack scooped the ice cream off the top and Tyce ate the brownie on bottom...
Then home for presents and cake!

Traci and the kids came over to join us and got them these...
More presents...








They were definitely the most excited about the money from Grandma Bybee which I didn't get a picture of because I was video calling Parker.  They are getting hard to buy for as they get older!  They both want to exchange the shirts I got them because apparently they don't like v neck shirts.  Josh didn't like the legos I picked out too SO we're going back shopping tomorrow to do some exchanges!  Rarely do I wish my kids were little again, I like this stage a lot, but I do miss being able to shop for them so easily!

Cake time!










I can't believe my twins are 10, it just sounds so old!  They have grown up a lot this year, Jackson has really matured and his behavior has improved ten fold!  I very very very rarely have to discipline him and he is thoughtful and so helpful!  Josh has matured also but he's going through an emotional time right now, not sure if it's hormones or the move or a combo of both but he's been a little harder than he ever has been.  

The other day he peeked at his birthday presents hidden in my closet then lied about it.  That night he asked if he could read to me (which he hasn't done in a while) and he had picked this book!  Haha, love it and I think he learned his lesson...
And I found this on my bed...
I found a "future missionary" tag while packing and Tyce was SO excited to wear it to church...

We've been reading BFG every night as a family and it's been so fun cuddling on my bed and reading and laughing...
And finally, today is the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!  We went to our old door so we could get pics in front of the same door that we have for the last almost 7 years...
