Ryks first birthday and twins!!!

Wow! Its been awhile since I last posted so I thought it was about time! To start off we celebrated Ryks first birthday in August!We decided to have a circus party for him and it was a rip roarin good time! Im so so so mad at myself that I didnt take more pics but I will post the ones that we did take. We had hot dogs, snowcones, lemonade, peanuts, chips, candy, watermelon and of course games! With the help of my mom we made booths. We had a fishing booth, duck pond,photo booth, tatoo booth, kissing booth, clown toss, 3 ring toss and animal bowl. My mom made the cutest clown cupcakes and a clown smash cake for Ryks. It was such a fun day and Im thankful to all of our family and friends that were there to support Ryks and us that day!!! The next most exciting news is that Im pregnant with twins! Yep thats right-TWINS!!! I cant hardly believe it either! My mom is a twin so I was bound to have them too! :)This is how we told our family and friends that we were having twins. Afer Ryks finished his birthdy cake we changed him into this shirt and brought him out to show everyone. The moment was priceless! I went in today for a ultrasound and Im measuring 13 1/2 weeks! I heard the 2 heart beats, saw 2 heads, and 2 sets of arms and legs with fingers and toes and that they are both very very active thus far in there short little 13 1/2 weeks of life! Its so crazy to think that there are 2 little humans being developed in my stomach! We are thrilled, nervous, scared, excited, anxious...all the emotions you can think of...but most of all we realize how very very blessed we are to have this opportunity! And the last new change in the Stringham household is that I was recently called to serve as the 1st counselor in the YW! I couldn't ask for a better calling! I love the energy that the youth have and Im so excited to get to know the yw better and to serve them along with my presidency! Life is good! :)
