Barbie Blank Cobais celebrating a beautiful first year with her twins!

The former pro wrestler, 37, known to her WWE fans asKelly Kelly, had a wonderful time celebrating her twins,son Jaxon Matthew and daughter Brooklyn Marie, on their first birthday alongside husband Joe Coba, their friends and family.

“The shark and mermaid theme was just too perfect for the twins! I wanted something fun that represented both of them, so we went with a theme that balanced both the boy and girl vibes without being too obvious,” she tells PEOPLE.

“I handed everything over toMackenzie, my planner atRSVP Club, and she executed everything from décor sourcing to creative direction. With the ‘One-der the Sea’ theme, there were so many fun elements to play with, making it whimsical, playful, and absolutely perfect for my babies!”

Being twin parents can be a wild ride, but the happy couple has embraced the “sleepless nights and endless cuddles.”

“This first year has been filled with sleepless nights, endless cuddles, and moments I wish I could freeze forever. Brooklyn said, ‘mama’ for the first time at 4 months. Jaxon started crawling around 6 months and his first word was ‘dada,’ " the proud mom shares.

“Both are very observant and active as they go to mommy and me classes once a week, and love to be outside! They’ve been to the beaches in Malibu and the lakes in Idaho! We’ve taken them to see horses and have also been to the zoo. It’s truly amazing to see their different personalities grow,” she continues.

“Jaxon is the sweetest, chillest boy who has the most infectious giggle. Brooklyn is as wild and sassy as they come but also just the sweetest and just a total mama’s girl.”

As they step into their toddler era, the twins are “right in the middle of some major milestones.”

“Jaxon is standing and hopefully start walking soon. Brooklyn is the fastest crawler, if you take your eyes off her for a second, poof she’s gone!”

“Family is first, so to have my mom, Robin, and sister, Mary, there for their first birthday meant the world to Joe and I. There was also Joe’s brother Cole and sister-in-law Tiffany, with their two twins dressed as mermaids. All of our friends also flew into town and drove a long distance to come,” she says.

The family is looking forward to enjoying this next part of the year and all the new memories it will bring with their toddlers.

“I’m looking forward to all the new experiences we can share as they continue to grow. Since they’ve already dressed up and visited the pumpkin patch, this year we’re excited to explore new fall traditions. We plan to take them to local farmer’s markets, where they can pick out their own pumpkins and discover new sights and smells,” she says.

“I’m also looking forward to introducing them to new fall flavors, like warm apple treats, and maybe even letting them help out in the kitchen in their own messy, adorable way.”

The four will be taking enjoying the warm West Coast weather for as long as they can.
