Ben, our little MONKEY who LOOOOVES to climb on everything--couldn't have been happier!
I highly suggest the Little Tykes Classic Twin Slide Tunnel Climber. Having the double slides works out beautifully for the quads!
We headed on down to Waco and spent the morning splashing around in a kiddie water park! (Ethan, Andrew, Savannah, and Benjamin)
The twins especially LOOOOVE the water and they are fearless---which is scary. (Ethan)
Drew and Dadda---my little fish!
A sight to see! (and No, Granna did not wet herself! LOL. She's gonna kill me! Dripping wet quad wrangling is a messy job sometimes!) Sav, E, Ben, Drew
Why are you singing to us? Where's the cupcake you promised?...as Shiloh eagerly awaits any sugary sweet floor droppings. (Drew in front, Ethan in the back)
Savi's sweet smile---excited to be TWO!
A double face-plant (Ethan up close)
"Back off, toots!" ~Sav. I threatened to eat her cupcake and got the hand in the face! Nice defense, girlfriend! Notice Ethan...can he even breathe at this point?
It was SO much more fun watching the kids chow down their Bday cupcakes this year as opposed to last year, when they just kinda sat and stared! (Ethan)
Sav and Ben---we're goin in!
They spent almost the whole time like this---hands nice and clean (they don't like to get their hands dirty) and eating with their mouths! (Drew)
Ben looks so cute here! Trying not to smile...up to no good.
Look at these BIG KIDS! (Ethan, Andrew, Savannah, & Benjamin). and also look how much smaller the diva is, than her bros.
Bring on the balloons, Papa! "bah-nyuooon" as Ethan calls them. Ben calls them "baa-boons"
Princess Savannah cleaning up the crumbs...such a good helper!
SO fun to watch the lil' guys get excited about new toys!
One of Savannah's favorite presents---bubbles! Love that face!
Ethan, Sav, Andrew, Ben (Again, look at what the identicals are doing, then look at Benny & Sav---cracks me up...arms, legs, which hand is holding what...twinks!)
"Hey, hey- we HAVE monkeys!"- Took some pics with the rugrats after church on Sunday. (Sav, Ethan, Drew, Ben)
(E, S, A, B)- Miss Priss was DONE with the taking of the pictures!
Toys make for nice distractions---Granna and Papa lovin' on their 2-yr-old grand-quads. (S, E, A, B)
(A, B, S, E)---God has blessed us with 2 incredible years as a family of 6! We cannot wait to see what year #3 brings. The kids are growing and learning more every single day. In fact, we no longer qualify for ECI (early childhood intervention) which is sad b/c we miss our friends, but such an awesome accomplishment for these precious 30 week preemies! Mama is SO proud! This has been the most amazing and fun journey---experiencing life through the eyes of quadruplets.
We've got MORE partying this weekend with the Steece's and we can't wait! Pretty much, the whole month of August is one big party for us! Ah-Wah-hooooo!

Welcome to the "two's" Steece Quads!!! We have had great fun being two so far. Happy Birthday!
The Holsey Triplets!
Well I am just about the biggest geek on the planet- I started reading about you in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma- my husband was transferred to Waco, TX. I saw that their Birthday trip was to the water park which is one of the first things we ventured out to do when the kids and I moved to Waco and thought OH MY GOODNESS THEY WERE SO CLOSE!! LOL I have said prayers for your babies and just think it is amazing how your little ones have touched so many lives in the 2 yrs they have been on this earth!! God is good All the time! Happy Birthday sweet babies! Congratulations and thank you for letting me treat you like celebrities for a moment! LOL

Happy birthday to the quads. You guys are a beautiful family thanks for sharing with us.
Awesome fun. Love the slide and climbing
Adorable pictures!! Happy 2nd birthday Ethan, Ben, Savannah, and Drew!
Congrats! BTW, speaking of EC, there is a charity that was just started to help families of NICU babies...check it out at friendsofmaddie.com. Maybe you can share your story with them! ;)
I LOVE their new slide/climber! TWO slides, WAY cool! Grandparents give the greatest presents! (= Hope they had the BEST 2nd Birthday ever!
Love, Cathy & her quads
I can't believe the quads are 2, I started reading right after their first birthday, they are getting so big!
By the way, I LOVE your church dress, very cute!
I can't believe they're two!! The Sunday morning family pics are gorgeous!
Great pics...looks like they enjoyed their cupcakes.
They grow so fast. So happy you had a great time last weekend and the kids enjoyed their birthday.
Have a nice week.
Happy BIG TWO to you cuties! What big boys and girl you are now! Praising God for how good and faithful he has been to you and how much you are growing and developing. Keep it up! :)

What a fun birthday weekend! LOVE all the pics! Sweet, sweet!
Lets see if I can remember everything that I want to write after reading that...haha!
First off...love the photo where the twins and then Sav and Ben are doing the same thing! Too funny! How in sync they are!
Second - cracking up over the way they ate their cupcakes, not wanting to get their hands dirty! silly kids! :-) I also loved Sav's defense on her cupcake! LOL!
Congrats on the move out of ECI...I know its bittersweet but such a success for the kids and you!
And last...I LOVE your dress!! You always look amazing!
Just ADOOOOORABLE!!!!!
Mommy of Five
Your babies are two now and my baby is 24.. they have the same b-day. I cant believe the quads are two.. you have such a wonderful little family.. I love checking in and see what all of you are up to.
Great pics and Happy 2nd Birthday to the quads! Also, congrats on hitting the total views of 4 million, that's a lot of views.
Oh my goodness...miss Savannah sure has some sass and attitude perfect for her two year old self ;) Can not believe your sweet thangs are TWO!!! The cupcake picts tickled me to pieces! Ben, Ethan, and Drew are already handsome and Savannah is such a doll!
~Elyse
Lovely lovely pictures! Glad they had such a fun birthday.
Just awesome!!! Love it!!! Happy Birthday!!!
Precious!! Happy 2nd b-day guys!!!
These pictures are adorable! Hope you all have a good time this weekend!
Happy Birthday. They are precious...I love Savannah's bows she had on for church. What a cutie.
You always look so cute, too...and I know it's no small task getting kids ready and making them look nice-Love the dress you have on!
You are truly blessed-enjoy all the celebrations!
Happy 2nd Birthday!! LOVE that pic of Ben. The one of Savannah in the tutu & crown w/ the vaccuum reminds me of the days at HU cleaning for "dorm check." My roomie and I used to wear tiarras to laugh through the hours of scrubbing the tiny dorm rooms spotless!!
Awhh Happy Birthday!!! :) They are so adorable! I love your dress too! XOXO
Your pics are so cute! Where did you get your dress in your last pic?
I follow multiple blogs but have never commented but I just wanted to share there is a mom in Houston that just gave birth to sextuplets, I believe they are 23 or 24 weeks. Those babies could definitley need some prayers. Here blog is http://stanseljourney.blogspot.com/
LOVE how Sav is getting to karate chop your face for getting too close to her cupcake!
Hope you continue to enjoy your month-long party and I'll be looking to you for advice (as always) with the "terrific two's"!
Love you!
Moni
p.s. Down, Sandra, down! Conor might get jealous. HA,HA!
It just can't be..the quads cannot be 2 already. It means I'm also 2 years older which makes me even more sad. lol!! I was without internet for a few days and I just saw your beautiful black/white pictures. They are beautiful. I think you could actually hang those on a wall and it would look like art work.
I also loved reading about what all new words the quads are saying. It's almost sad when they start saying words correctly. They are so smart with knowing their colors and that the twins are READING a few words! Shoot, when they go to preschool, they will be advanced!
And the birthday pictures are just precious. Wow...enjoy more celebrating!

Happy Birthday to Ethan, Ben, Drew and Sav! Love the bubble face picture of Savannah! She is so sweet! I'm looking forward to watching them grown up throughout the next year. Have fun celebrating!

Looks like a great bday celebration to me....I want one of those cupcakes:) What beautiful kiddos you have Suz!!

The pictures are adorable! My favorite one is where you are trying to eat the cupcake and Joe is looking at you.. soo cute. Happy Birthday kiddo's!
Oh Suz! The very end of this post made me cry!
I am just so amazed and so astounded by the many, many blessings you have been given.
Wishing you even more blessings in the years to come!
Beautiful photos!
That was surely a fun party for the kids.. I love having parties for kids.. They would really love it even how simple it is.. For them, that moment will be unforgettable..
