Our Birthday

My birthday has always been an 'our birthday'. I have a hard time referring to it as just my birthday when I have always shared it!! Cole asked me today if I was ever annoyed that we had to share a birthday and I don't think I ever have. Just all the more fun! I thought since today we are sharing a birthday again I would post random twin pictures over the years.
 BYU-Hawaii-our favorite place for a cold drink

 On a date with our then boyfriends

 Being spazes. Us and the husbands drove home for New Years to surprise mom one year.

 Shan's wedding

 BYU football game freshman year

 Driving around. Since we turned 16 it was mostly like this. Us driving around doing what we did but always together.

 Shan and Matthew came over one night to play games when Cade was a baby and we looked remarkably similar. 

 First day of senior year of high school. About to drive the jetta to school.

 Random guy at BYU-H who wanted a picture with us since we were twins. Him and two of his buddies all got one. We have had tons of little instances like this over the years!
 Arches National Park the year after graduating high school. If you can't tell, we are being arches.

 On the dance team for the Nauvoo Pageant

 Ballroom competition at BYU

 My Wedding- Shan had gotten married 3 months before.

 Frist day of school at BYU-H. We tried to out walk the storm on our way home. We lost.

 High school graduation

 18th birthday

At the beach in Hawaii. I think it is funny how even our eyebrows are super bright in the sun! Yay for red hair.

Doesn't being a twin look so much fun! Happy Birthday Shan!
