2006 vs. 2007

Shows you how much we've changed! Hahaha! (It's cute Laura...LAUGH!)

Fun Pictures From This Weekend!

Brandon is leaving tomorrow to go back to Germany. I'm totally sad about it but it was nice to be able to spend time with him. Hopefully, we will be able to con the grandparents into watching the rugrats for a few days so that Brent and I can go visit him in Germany. We had a really great weekend except for the fact that some woman said to me, "Looks like you've got a little one in the oven!" I was mortified and she is lucky I didn't strangle her with my bare hands right then and there! Needless to say, I started running this morning and a strict diet too. I can't believe that she said that to me! I have this lingering embarrassment that I can't seem to shake and now I feel the need to suck in my gut when I'm in public. Pew. Anyway, here are some cute pictures from this weekend...

Fishing with the babies yesterday afternoon!

Uncle Binky and Frank the Tank!

Hooka & Shotguns! Look at my flawless technique!

Brandon and Caroline
Binky and I went cast net fishing last night!

Uncle Binky!

Uncle Binky flew home from Germany last week to meet the kids for the first time. Frank and Brandon share so much family resemblance that I think he could pass Frank off as his own kid. Brandon is moving back to the United States next month and will be stationed at Fort Stewart. I couldn't be happier about that and I'm excited that Caroline and Wyatt will get to spend tons of time with their crazy Uncle Bink!

The twins are doing so well! They had a doctor's appointment last week and Caroline weighed in at 9 lbs. 7 oz. and Wyatt at 9 lbs. 5 oz. They are eating like two fat pigs and I say more power to them! The fatter the better! Wyatt rolled over from his stomach to his back twice today and I was lucky enough to catch it on video! I can't believe how fast these runts are growing!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Please watch this hilarious crackhead leprachaun video! For one, Mobile Alabama is hurting for news. For two, where did these peeps git ther edu-ma-cation? I can't believe these people are for real! I don't know which part is my favorite... the "amateur sketch" or the woman who thinks it's a crackhead who bought some bad stuff and went to live up in a tree! It blows my mind that these peoples' vote counts for just as much as mine! It really makes me want to stick a fork in my eye!

His First Smile Too!

Victory is mine!!!! I told Brent that I was going to kill him if these babies smiled at him first. Lucky me, Wyatt smiled his first real smile at ME the day after Callie did! It was so precious! Brent swears that the kids will be begging hugs from him before me. We'll see! :)


Taking the kids out in public kinda seems like we are part of a freak show. People stare, point, and feel the need to come up and talk to us. We might as well have hot pink mohawks and tattoos all over our faces. It's weird. I sort of experienced the same thing when I was pregnant when a stranger found out I was having twins. It wasn't as bad though since they were under a layer of skin and most people didn't assume that there were two buns in the oven. Now though, we can't hide them and we have to answer the dumbest questions over and over! "Are those twins?" NO! One is ours and the other one we bought at Walmart! "Are they identical?" YES! We just chose to dress one up as a girl and one up as a boy! I guess it's something that Brent and I will have to get used to...

6 Weeks...6 Hours...& Her First Smile!

Yesterday was so great for the babies! I can't believe that they are already six weeks old! It's so sad seeing how fast they grow and how everyday, it seems like I'm saying goodbye to my teeny tiny little peanuts! They are turning into true porkers! Callie slept 6 hours and 14 minutes last night! I was so proud of her! It would have been a great stretch of sleep for me and Brent if the babies were on the same schedule during the night - of course, that would be way too good to be true. This morning I starting playing with Callie and she genuinely smiled at me! It was so cute and melted my heart! I can't wait until she's smiling all the time! (But there I go again...wishing time away.) We took some pictures at bath time today and while I don't think that the kids look anything alike, other people have a hard time figuring out which one is Frank and which one is Callie. The tank is on the left and miss thang is on the right.

Lots-O-Visitors

We had a really busy week with company this past week. Ape came on Sunday to see the kids and we went shopping. Shopping just isn't the same now that I have kids. I shop for kiddie clothes and diapers and other baby crap. Plus, I'm still too fat to buy any cute clothes for myself. Heath came to help out with the babies on Tuesday and Wednesday. She was the best helper ever! She brought dinner and helped me clean and made cookies! I hadn't been able to pal around with her for a REALLY long time and it was just great being able to spend time with her. My parents came on Friday and will be here through Tuesday. We took the kids to visit their great grandmother yesterday... their first real outting! It's been really fun but the days go by so ridiculously fast. By the way, wish me luck... Brent goes out of town on Monday and I'm going to have to feed these runts all by myself during the night. I'm very scared!

One Day Old...

Today the babies would have been officially one day old if they would have made it to their due date. I feel like we cheated and got to spend an extra month with them by evicting them early. Wyatt had a few issues but damn, it was worth it! I have to fight tears almost every day when I think about how fast they are growing and how I never want them to leave home! Callie had her first dance with her daddy and I just started bawling imagining myself at her wedding and flashing back to that first dance with Brent. I never knew that you could love someone so much!

This week has been a mini vacation for me. Brent's mom came to help out this week and it's been great! I've been able to stock the freezer with some meals that I cooked like spaghetti and other crap so we will have some reprieve from our cereal dinners. Feeding the twins was easier and quicker, finding time to clean the house was nice, getting more sleep than I had in awhile was also nice. I've left the house a couple of times for diaper or formula runs and I can't believe how much I miss the kids even when I'm only gone an hour! Hell, I miss them while they are taking naps!
