We miss the Aunties already!!

Well, we had a great visit with Aunt Geri and Aunt Cathy...we miss them already! It was nice to have them out here...anyone else who is going to be in the neighborhood come visit!! We like company! Here are more pictures from our time together.


Here is Aunt Geri playing patty-cake with Spencer...it was his favorite! I still get a smile from him, but not as big as Auntie Geri got!



The Aunties with the babies!



I love this picture of Spencer...although, I know it won't be as cute when he is sticking out his tongue in a few months!



Another shot of the Aunties with the babies...



Here is Spencer listening to great wisdom from his Aunt Cathy!


A gift from the Aunties...they love the Bumbos!

Aubrey was helping me unload the dishwasher...she stayed happy being right there with me and I got something accomplished!! Gotta love the Bumbo!!

Aunt Cathy feeding Aubrey.

Playtime at the farm. Aunt Cathy and Aunt Geri babysat while Dean and I went to dinner. As much as I love getting away, I miss them like crazy when I go!

Our first family picture. Aubrey just woke up so she wasn't really in to getting her picture taken...Spencer looks pleasant though!

Day 1 with the Aunties!

We are loving the time we have with the Aunties that are visiting from Wisconsin! What a blessing to have family that is so full of love! The babies are getting spoiled with all kinds of love and attention...they won't want boring old Mommy anymore! I guess we will have to get out more and visit with everyone so they don't get cranky! :) We also started to feed them a little bit of cereal so they would maybe last a little longer between feedings. They did pretty good for their first time...Spencer wasn't so sure he is a fan of eating...but Aubrey did great. We will keep working on it and I am sure he will join the club soon too!
We have had these robes since my shower and have never put them on before...they are cute but not very practical...but that is half the fun!




The Aunties in action getting diapers changed.

Aubrey's first taste of cereal...pretty messy but she did good.

Spencer's first taste...he wasn't quite as sure about it, but I have a feeling he will come along!

Auntie Cathy with both babies...how sweet!

Ready for the walk! I know he doesn't look happy but deep down he really is! :)

Aubrey's pretty smile.

And Spencer has one too...it is rare, but it is worth the wait every time!

He was talking to us in this one...pretty special!

This was on our walk...3 miles! The babies did great and we had beautiful weather to enjoy being outside.

Aubrey put her Aunt Geri to sleep...she is really good at that!

Spencer got his Aunt Cathy to sleep too...good babies!

Sleeping through the night!!!

Just thought I would share really quick that we have had three nights in a row with BOTH babies sleeping through the night! I am thrilled!! It just kind of started and I thought it was a fluke, but it has happened every night since! I am wondering if they know that they are getting company from Wisconsin soon and want to be on their best behavior! :) I just hope it continues...I am getting used to sleeping in my bed again! The pictures are from this last weekend. We had a busy day on Sunday visiting Dean's brother and then we stopped by the square dance that Dean's mom and step-dad were at for them to show off the babies. It was not only a long day of in and out of the car, but it was hot too...so by the time we got home both babies were over tired, hot, and cranky! They ended up passing out on the blanket under the ceiling fan.
This is Buster taking advantage of the pillow left on the couch from me sleeping out there when I was getting up with the babies. We were playing on the floor and I looked over and saw this...too cute! He has been really good with the babies and has adjusted pretty good to not getting all the attention anymore.

Happy Easter

Spencer was so smiley after his bath the other night...until I got the camera out and then it was strictly business again! But he still wasn't crying and that is always worth a picture!
We dressed up in the Easter gear on Saturday for Dean's birthday...she looked so cute! Although, I am glad we only had one girl because if I had to try to wrestle on 2 sets of baby tights, my girls wouldn't be dressed up very often!Here is my little man in his Easter best. He looks so grown up in the sweater vest! Too cute to see him in "big boy" clothes.
And together...of course no smile from Spencer!

At the bowling alley for Dean's birthday.

A few minutes after we got to the bowling alley, Spencer was fast asleep.
And then after some looking around and checking the place out, Aubrey was quick to follow!
We hope you all had a great Easter weekend! May God bless you and your families...We love you!!

First walk in the park!

We took our first walk in the park today...they really could have cared less, but it was nice to get out in the sunshine after a few weeks of rain! We love the stroller Eric got us and use it all the time...don't know what we would do without it! Anyway, here are some pictures from the other day just hanging out at home and some of the walk.






This is my sweet boy...smiling one minute and scowling the next! He is quite a character!


And our little cute Aubrey...always ready for a photo! She is really sitting up good with support, but still wobbles after too long!
