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!

Last post for March

Hard to be;ieve that March is over! Seems like it just started! Here are some more pictures from this month. Aubrey was in a little dress and looked so cute! I just love her expressions! She is constantly making me laugh with her faces!

The other pictures are of the kids with the farm mat that Dean's mom let us use. They just love it! They just move their arms and legs like crazy while the music plays and the animals move! It's cute! Seems like just yesterday they weren't interested in it at all...they are changing so fast!

Visitors and playtime

He doesn't do it often...but he has the sweetest smile ever!
I had them both up and was making their bottles for a feeding and he grabbed her arm and kind of cuddled with her and settled right down.

Dean thought it would be funny to put both boppies around Aubrey...she didn't seem to mind too much!

This is my Uncle Donny, a good friend of the family who used to live next door to us in Gatewood. I haven't seen him in years and he was able to stop by and see the babies! It was so great to see him again!!

Bathtime is still not the favorite way for them to spend time...but it is getting better!

The trauma of the bath is over now, she can go back to being too cute!!

This is Jonathan, my best friend Christina's youngest son. They came up for a quick visit and we loved having them!!

2 Month update

Sorry it has been so long...things get crazy here and don't always settle down! We had our 2 month check up last week and both babies are doing wonderful. Aubrey is 23 inches long and weighs 10 lbs 4 oz. Spencer is 22 inches long and weighs 10 lbs 1/2 oz. They both took their shots without too much drama...it was harder on me than them I think. The doctor also gave us some formula to try and we finally found one that really works for Spencer and keeps him happy and a lot more mellow! So, although it is more expensive, it is worth every penny to have a happy baby!! They are both growing so fast!! I can't believe how big they are getting and how fast they grow out of clothes! Some of the gifts we got that I remember thinking were going to be too big for a while fit perfectly now! I have a pile of things they can't wear anymore! But, I love every minute of it and cherish every new thing they do! I somehow managed to get a cold and have been pretty miserable the last few days, but thankfully my Mother in Law and Sister in Law were able to spend the last 2 nights with us and I have been able to sleep through the night...I feel so much better now!! I am so thankful that we moved back to Salem!! Anyway, we are all doing great and looking forward to the scheduled visits from our Wisconsin family that is planning on coming!! We send our love to you all!!

March Pictures

Doesn't he look thrilled to be sitting by his sister!

Spencer doesn't smile much, but he is pretty cute too!

Aubrey is starting to smile at us now. She is just too cute!!

This is Dean's way of not only catching the spit-up but keeping the paci in. Looks funny, but it works!
