Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to get a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. We went with our good friends Josh, Nicole, Brooks, and Evan (-who is almost here!) The boys loved being outside and chose great pumpkins!!

Catching Up--Warning LONG Post

Last night...

Well, Shep and Spence have been pulling up on us for a while. Last night they both pulled up in their beds! Shep did it over and over while Spence did it once. MY BIG BOYS!!!

Here is a video of Shepherd standing up. He is so proud of himself!!

This past weekend....

We had a great weekend this weekend. We took Shepherd and Spencer to their first Auburn game. The game was during the day and right in between their morning and afternoon naps, so we thought it was a perfect one to go to. It was a little hot, so we only stayed until halftime. The boys loved it. I was afraid they were going to be scared, but they weren't at all. They loved looking at all the people and listening to the band.

Waiting for the game to start

Shep- "Auburn is #1"

Watching the last of the 2nd quarter in the shade...

Loving on Daddy

Watching the game

My Sweet Shep

We believe in Auburn and LOVE it!

Always an event...everywhere we go we have to change multiple diapers! Saturday was no different...

Having to get a diaper changed...

It's so funny though!!!!

Before each home game, Auburn has a birds of prey show. You can see different birds and watch them fly. We had a blast going with the Millers and Penders. Shep and Spence loved being outside and watching the different birds.

The show started at 4 so Daddy was a little late, but was Spence so glad when he got there!

Watching all the birds

This is one of the eagles that flies at beginning of each football game

WAAAARRR EAGLE HEY!

Don't get too close...

Here are our good friends Ashley, Anna, Ella and Emma

Last weekend......

Mom and I took the boys to get their feet measured. I guess we will have to start wearing shoes now that it is getting cooler... I didn't have my camera but I HAD to record this special event!

Weekend before that....

Our good friends Jon, Ann, and Wes Cunningham came and stayed with us. They went to the Auburn game. The boys loved playing with Wes. This is how most of our pictures from that weekend turned out... so funny!! My boys will be right behind him in a few months.

WES...come here!

Shep and Spence were trying to get him!!

On the move...

We are so busy this weekend, but have to update since this is my "baby book"!

This week...

Shep- saying "dada", pulled up on the exersauser last night, played patty cake on Thursday, and has been playing peek-a-boo all week with his lovie. He is rolling around to get places more. I am sure he will be crawling in the next few weeks. He would rather stand up and cries until you let him pull up. Maybe he will skip to walking?? Am I ready for that?

Spence- officially crawling the army crawl. He has been scooting and rolling for a while but he is now crawling straight and fast. He says "dada" and "mama" and does not like to be alone this week. Every time he is by himself in a room, he cries until he sees someone. My sweet attached little boy!

WOW! A big week!! I am loving my growing boys!!!

Wonderful Wednesday!

We have just hung around the house today and it has been great! We have had a couple of busy weeks so it is nice to just relax!

We are practicing pulling up. We love to pull up on mom! She thinks she has her hands full, but just wait until we both want to practice walking! (Sorry I don't have a picture of that...no room for a camera)

Sometimes we try and wrestle even when we are pulling up!

Sweet Shep- has two toothies now :)

Smiley Spence- always happy!

And sometimes we fall... (Spence isn't crying because he is hurt...just mad he fell)

Shep is concern...

Then Shep thinks its funny...

Then he is making sure Spence is ok... Sweet Brothers!

And this is what I do ALL day....referee....they always want what the other has...

What a wonderful Wednesday!!

8 Month Update!

We have been so busy the past 2 weeks. I have tried to start to update, and then can never finish. We have a lot going on. We are getting ready for company over the next few weeks, I have a good friend's baby shower, supper club at our house....and lots more! I try to get most of the house work done while the boys are napping and then run errands when they are awake. QUICK errands! They love getting out and about, and are so good! It takes us longer than I would like because I always have to change at least 2 diapers when I am out, even though I change it RIGHT before we leave...never fails... :) Life with twins...double the fun...double the diapers...

The boys are at a GREAT age!! They are keeping me so busy! They both have really become vocal!! They are talking to one another and Spencer laughs at Shepherd all the time! Sometimes I think they have a contest to see who can be the loudest! Cracks me up! They really are going to be great friends!

We don't go to the doctor again till 9 months. But here are some updates...

Sometimes it is easier for me to bath the boys in the sink if we are getting our baths during the morning. THEY LOVE IT!

Shep playing in the water

Sweet Shep! See all the water on the wall behind him? He wasn't very calm for long!

Spence LOVED it!

Splashing!!

I love my finds at garage sales! I got these 2 swings for a $1 and we put them in the garage! The boys love them! It is going to be great when it is too cold to go outside!

ARE YOU READY???

FOR SOME AUBURN FOOTBALL????

Lets play some football!

The first football game is this Saturday. I can't wait to take Shepherd and Spencer to their first tailgate on Saturday. We will take them to at least 1 game this season, but we will wait until it gets a little cooler. We will go on campus and grill out with friends from church. I can't wait!!

Spence has got his game face on!

Ready to drive to the tail gate... I told them they were just a few days too early!

Ready to play

Hope you have a great AUBURN football weekend!
