Lights, Camera, Action!
It has been a fun filled week for Coleman and Carter! Last Thursday, they had an audition to be in a commercial for Mississippi Hospital representing a 1 year old boy as the same boy grows throughout the commercial. Unfortunately, I think our hair color was not what they were looking for but it was a fun experience nonetheless.
That same afternoon I got a call that another casting agency would like to have Coleman and Carter come to the set of the new movie being filmed, The Three Stooges that is being produced by the Farrelly brothers here in Atlanta. I thought it was another audition type thing until Monday night when I got the email with the directions, etc. that said their actual character, "Baby Moe". They had three sets of twins, each one played a different character (Larry, Curly, and Moe).
So, Tuesday morning my mom and I scurried to gather all of the boys gear and headed down to the set of the movie. It was SUCH a fun, awesome, amazing experience to see all of the behind the scenes action, and everyone was SO incredibly nice and loved on our two little guys. We did take some pictures on set, but were then told that it was not allowed, not to post on facebook, email out, etc. Sooo, you'll have to wait to see all of those, or I can sneak you a peek on my camera :o)
Coleman and Carter arriving to "work"
Some of the casting trailers...there were lots
The makeup chair for the boys...this was in a trailer of nothing but salon style chairs and mirrors.
Carter and I waiting to get his brows darkened...he laughed the entire time they did it.
Mom and Coleman waiting for his turn...Mom and Coleman got to sit next to Jennifer Hudson while Coleman was being worked on...so neat!
Carter's final product...I now know what the boys would look like if they had Jared's color hair!
Heading to the set...
The casting director asked me to choose between the boys as to who could basically sit still and have others hold him. I texted Jared to help me make the decision, and we both decided that Coleman would probably be the more patient of the two...
...but then he had a meltdown when they were trimming his Moe wig and the director called for a swap, so Carter is actually in the final cut!
This is as far as I can take ya...you'll have to wait for the movie to see our "Little Moe"!
End Scene :o)
AND...as if this day wasn't exciting enough, as soon as we got home and put the boys down I got a call from ANOTHER casting agency wanting me to bring the boys to meet their casting director that afternoon for another movie being filmed here in Atlanta! So, off we went and it looks like we are meeting with the producer and director tomorrow to see if we fit their needs...keep your fingers crossed!

Family Day Outing
Our weeks are pretty busy around here, with at least 4 nights every week of something going on and church on Sunday, so we always try to do something fun as a family on Saturday, even if it only means hanging out in the backyard. This Saturday we went to explore an old mill down the street from our house. I love rustic, old buildings and covered bridges and this place had them both...and a dam to boot! Here are some pictures from our outing...
We tried to get some Mommy and Daddy shots, but the water was MUCH more fun to look at than the camera...

North Point
When we first moved to Atlanta I wondered where we would begin "church shopping". We had been part of an amazing nondenominational church in Raleigh, and while I had grown up in an awesome church here in Roswell I wanted to find something that was similar to what we had grown accustomed to.
A few Sundays in Raleigh we had listened to some sermons by Andy Stanley and Jared and I both LOVED them. We loved the way that he spoke directly, was humorous about life's unexpectedness and his obvious love to tell "the story". His church was actually in Alpharetta, not too far from us, so we decided to begin our shopping there...we never left. Since then, we have become part of an amazing small group and have rarely missed a Sunday that we are in town. I love starting my week listening to Andy speak on current topics and making them so applicable to situations that I/we face in our daily lives. This morning I was the cheesy mom who took a few pictures of this wonderful home that we love and thought I'd share them with you all :o)
No, that's not a rock concert....it's the band at the church...although I do feel like I went to a mini concert every Sunday morning, and I love it. Yes, NP is a "mega church", but I can honestly say that I don't feel that way once I enter the doors.
Andy preaching:
This is Waumba land...it is for children only a few weeks old through 4 year olds (ie..it's where our munchkins go). Coleman and Carter LOVE going to their classroom, and it's taught by the same ladies each Sunday who I are so incredibly sweet (and definitely have their hands full with our two!). Waumba land is actually the first place (and only place) that I have ever left the boys, aside from our families, and I never worry that they aren't loving every minute!
Look at all of the fun things that hang from the ceiling! Carter and Coleman LOVE to point up at them and say "ish, ish = fish".
Gotta love this Birthday Bear!
I snuck this picture of Carter as we were picking them up...always so curious as to what everyone is doing...love it!

Happy 4th of July!
We had such a great 4th of July with friends as we went to the pool, grilled out some yummy food, and then headed to a local high school to join in the festivities for a little bit before the boys bedtime. I had bought some fireworks for Jared to shoot off since we would be missing the "real deal", but we also had a LOT of rain come through so it looks like we'll be celebrating another night!
AND...on June 29th the boys started walking! They both have been taking a few steps for weeks now, but they finally got everything in sync and now they are practically running...fitting for "Independence Day"...
