Big boys!!

For Coleman and Carter's first birthday my brother and sister in law gave them their very own "kids table". At the time the boys were wanting to flip it over and crawl on top of it rather than sit at it and eat, but last week I decided to give it another whirl....and they absolutely LOVE it! Here is a picture of the munchkins sitting at their new big boy table...

Sweet boys!

Obviously I think that Coleman and Carter are the sweetest little guys a Mommy could ask for, but they really are starting to melt my heart lately with their friendship. They are moving from parallel play to interacting more and more with one another and love to chase each other, laugh at each other, and their new favorite is to share. Look at these sweet guys sharing their milk (Coleman) and goldfish (Carter)...please ignore the fact that we are on the floor UNDER our highchairs eating off the floor. A Mommy can only control so much.... :o)

Behind the Scenes

The boys have had a BUSY week! On top of our normal play dates and errands they have had to meet with the baby trainer for the movie. She doesn't really "train" them on anything since they are so little, but it's more so just getting them used to and comfortable with her since she is kind of the peace maker should one of them break down on set. The sessions usually involve her just playing with the boys or having the boys interact with the other kiddos that are in their scenes also. The boys don't seem to mind but it sure does mess with our schedule, especially since they don't tell us when or where to meet until the night before. For those of you who know me you know that I am a schedule oriented person, so this is pretty much driving me bonkers but I'll deal with it for such a fun experience!

I have definitely learned a lot over the past few weeks with these two movies...especially this one since the boys play a more major role. They are even painting dolls the exact same height and measurements as the boys to use as their "doubles" in case they need a far away shot or both break down when filming from a far distance. I guess I can say I have quads for a week or so...ha!

Yesterday after our meeting with the baby trainer my mom and I took the boys on their first trip to the Varsity! They LOVED it and we decided that they are now officially Georgians since they had a naked dog and an fro' orange :o)



After such a fun and busy morning (in which Coleman refused to nap in the car) we headed home for a nap, but my little friend Carter bug was up in 45 minutes so he had some Mommy time while we let Coleman catch up on his sleep...good thing they can't talk and Coleman never knew he missed out on pool time and a popsicle!

Movie Fun!

Okay, so we aren't really movie stars but we sure have had a fun and BUSY week and a half!! The day that we filmed for the Three Stooges movie I received a call to come and meet the casting director for the new movie, What to Expect When You're Expecting, that same afternoon so that he could see the boys. I guess that he liked what he saw because he asked us to come back Thursday to meet the producer and directors. On Thursday I realized that it was the "final cut" for the movie as they had gone through nearly 4500 babies!! The boys did great even after having to wait a few hours and I still did not want to get my hopes up since it literally fell into our laps. Sunday afternoon we received the call that the boys had made it! They were chosen to play Rob Huebel's son in the movie!
On Thursday we had to go and meet with the baby trainer for the movie, who really just played with the boys to see what made them happy, etc. Friday we were able to go and meet Rob Huebel and a few of the other cast members including Chris Rock. Of course, things in our world often times seem to have a little bit more excitement and Friday proved to be no different. While waiting to meet Rob, Carter began to gag on goldfish and as I saw that he was going to throw up my instant mommy instinct was to turn his mouth towards me...and take all of it. It didn't end there though, and Carter had thrown up all over me, himself, and the floor! Thankfully we had a spare outfit for him in our diaper bag, and well...I was just stinky but it wasn't about me so while I felt gross I didn't mind.
The actors were all very nice and they had some "bonding time" with the boys. I snuck some cute pictures, but once again I can't publish them anywhere on the web. As if our day wasn't exciting enough, Carter also managed to gag himself on the way home and throw up all over himself (again) and the car seat. Let's just say that Mommy and Daddy were ready for naptime when we finally made it home!

Nestle's Food

The boys LOVE Nestle, and they also love getting into her food bowl whenever Jared or I aren't paying attention. I decided to let Thing 1 and Thing 2 explore the other day just to see what all the excitement was about (but I also made sure that no food was going in our mouths!). Apparently they really wanted to put all of her food into her water bowl...just trying to help a friend out I guess!

Summertime Fun!

Ever since the weather has turned warmer I have been itching to take the boys to the spray ground near our house but wanted to wait until they started walking so we weren't in the way of the bigger kiddos. We have gone a few times now and the boys are really starting to love it! They are still timid of the bigger sprays but enjoy the little ones that come out of the ground...
