More pictures

This is Dean's little sister Linda from Florida who cam to visit and was put to sleep by her little neice Aubrey.

This is my little man in his new outfit from friends of Grandma Dawn's.

Valentine's Day and Grandma Dawn's visit

I have been meaning to post these pictures all week and just haven't had any time! But, thankfully I have Dean helping all night tonight, so I have a minute to blog! Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day! We all send our love to you!
Here is Aubrey in her Valentine's Day jammies sitting up in her boppy. I took Spencer's boppy and used it as a back for her to sit. She did pretty good, but isn't quite strong enough to support her head for very long. I had to be quick!

Here is Spencer in his Valentine's Day outfit. He had such a funny look on his face...almost like he wasn't happy about it being Valentine's Day!

Here are all of our kids. Buster was minding his own business on the couch when his Dad put those darn babies down next to him! He is actually really good with the babies and likes to check on them to make sure they are ok.

This is Dean's step-mom Dawn who recently visited from Florida.

First night with a babysitter

Tonight was Dean and my 9 year anniversary and my good friends Jodie and Amanda offered to babysit for us so Dean and I could go to dinner. We had a great time, although it was a bit tough for me to leave them home. They were in great hands and it was good for us to get out. Jodie has Spencer (above) and Amanda has Aubrey (below). Jodie's daughter, Katie is next to Amanda.

Together time in the crib

Some friends of ours sent us some wrist rattles and I put them on the kids when they were awake yesterday. They didn't mind them on, but they didn't really know what to do with them either!














We put both babies in the crib last night before feeding them again. They were pretty cute, but we became aware pretty quickly that feeding was a must as they both were "looking for something" and came pretty close to sucking the nose of the other one! Of course before we fed them we had to take pictures!

Bethany's first birthday

Here is the birthday girl, our niece Bethany. With some help from her Uncle Dean, she really got into her cupcake! This is our niece Brittany with Spencer. She is going to be three in March. She was so cute with the babies, she kept calling them her "baby cousins".


Our niece Katy with Spencer.


Our niece Kelsey with Aubrey.



We had a great time with the kids at the party. It was their first outing that didn't involve a doctor's office! It was fun to show them off!



2 week check-up

The babies had their two week check-up on Monday and they both looked great! Aubrey is up to 6lbs 5.5 oz and Spencer is up to 6lbs 1oz. I am thrilled with that! Spencer has had some trouble with spitting up and sometimes it seems like he spits up his entire meal, but obviously he is getting something because he keeps growing! I can't believe that they are already 2 weeks old...on one hand it feels like I have been taking care of them for forever, but then it seems like yesterday that we were in the hospital too. I have to say that I am enjoying every moment and while I would love to have a full nights sleep, I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world!

Here are the kidos on their boppy's. When they decide to wake up at the same time and both want to eat, I have no choice but to prop them up and feed them both at the same time this way...not my what I want to do, but it works and they don't seem to mind. Now that they are a little bit bigger they don't fall in the hole quite as bad, so it isn't quite as uncomfortable looking as it was even a week ago!
