Happy Graduation!

This weekend we loaded up the family and headed to Auburn for Jordan's graduation. We had a great time celebrating her accomplishment and being with everyone. The boys also shared with us that they are at a difficult age for traveling but they did great during the ceremony and even clapped for their Aunt Jordan.

Fun Toys

Of course the boys are into anything and everything lately and they want to play with basically whatever isn't supposed to be a toy. Some of their favorite toys are kitchen utensils...such as a wooden spoon, whisk, large spoon, spatula, etc. Maybe they'll be future chefs :o) The other day they both refused to put down their "toys" when it was time for lunch and I decided to pick my battles and let them bring them with them to their highchairs...such cute little guys!

Coloring

Okay, so the teacher in me has been dying for the boys to reach the age where we can finally begin some little "crafts" and of course coloring ranks right up there with things I was wanting to try. In the past few months the boys have become true toddlers it seems and are independent, using their words, and really starting to act like "little people" so I decided to give it a try.

At first we ate the crayons....

Then they realized what they were REALLY supposed to do with them...


Our first piece of art!


And we started coloring at our big boy table!


I can't wait to plaster our walls with pictures from these sweet little guys!!

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!
