Happy 6 months Fisher and Davis!

Happy 6 months boys! You sure have grown a lot in the past 6 months. When you were born I could hold each of you in one hand. You were both like baby dolls. I could also carry both of your carriers at the same time, but now I struggle with carrying one at a time. Both of you slept through the night for the first time last night. I was so excited and somewhat rested! :-) I can't believe you're already 6 months old. I am so lucky to be your mom and I look forward to the many years ahead. I love you as much as the whole wide world!

Love, Mom

The boys turned 6 months old today. I can't believe it- time sure does fly by. They can do so many things now. They talk all the time and when they both start talking Tucker starts howling. It is absolutely hilarious. I am going to try and catch it on video so I can post it. They are very close to sitting up and I think Fisher is going to be crawling before long. Their personalities are starting to really develop and they are so different from each other. We go to the doctor for their 6 month checkup on Tuesday. More shots! :-( The good news though is they're growing like weeds so I'm sure they will be on the regular growth charts now rather than the preemie charts.

On a side note, I haven't had time to post lately because work has been CRAZY and we've been busy on the weekends. We've taken the boys to do lots of things and I'll post pictures of that soon. I have the cutest costumes for them for Halloween so I'll post those this weekend sometime. More to come...

Food Festival

We met some of our friends downtown today for a huge food festival. Restaurants from around town were selling samples of foods from their menus. Evan and I only spent $25 and we got a ton of delicious food. Both of us were stuffed!!! The boys had a great time strolling around town and seeing some of their friends. They had lots of rides and shows for kids, but Davis and Fisher weren't quite old enough to enjoy those, but in a few years they will be. :-) It was such a beautiful day today. We really enjoyed being outside!

Wofford Homecoming

It was Wofford Homecoming this weekend so we took the boys to their first football game. I swear every time we go back the campus has changed. We parked at the auditorium and walked through the row to go to the game. It brought back so many GREAT memories. The girls had dresses and uncomfortable heels on and the guys all had on ties. That was me 7 years ago-living the college life. Wow how time flies- those 4 years were so much fun!

As we pushed the strollers through the row I thought about how much things have changed for us since last Homecoming and I just smiled and thought I wouldn't change it for the world! We went to the game for a little while and then we went to see Claire and her family at their tailgating spot. We had such a good time and it was so good to see everyone. Thanks Claire!

$2.69

$2.69... that's how much we got gas for this weekend. Yahoo!!! We were able to fill my bus up for $65.00. I couldn't believe it! It's kind of sad that we're celebrating it only being $2.69. I remember when it used to cost $0.89 a gallon. Thank goodness I'm not still in high school. I certainly wouldn't have been able to "drive around" on the weekends which is what all the cool kids did. My Celica would have been parked in the driveway.

"Hoppy" 5 months Fisher and Davis!

Dear Davis and Fisher,

I can't believe you are already 5 months old. It seems like yesterday that we were headed to the hospital awaiting your arrival. Our lives have changed so much since then, but I can't imagine it any other way. You bring so much joy and happiness to my life. I love you as much as the whole wide world!

Love,

Mommy

When we grow up...

We want to be just like our Daddy!

Something New Every Day

This is how I found Fisher when I went in to get him this morning. He is rolling over from his back to his stomach really well now.

Davis has discovered his feet and he loves holding onto them.

Fisher tries to sit up in his bouncy seat. It won't be long before he's sitting up all by himself.

Apples

We started fruits this weekend and I felt sure they would love them since they're sweet, but Fisher made the funniest faces as he ate them. I think Davis liked them though. Fisher still ate all of his. So far there hasn't been anything they wouldn't eat. I hope that continues!

We love you Daddy!

All Smiles

We had a great weekend! It was very relaxing. We did a few household things, but mostly we spent time with the boys which is our favorite thing to do. I got some really good pictures of them smiling and laughing. We hope your weekend was as good as ours!

Tommy and Jackson's 30th Birthday Party

Katherine and Lesley threw Tommy and Jackson a surprise birthday party on Friday night. Evan and I went to celebrate with them for a little while. We had such a good time. My mom and dad kept the boys so we could go. It was the first date night we've had in a long time. Thanks for the invite! We had so much fun!


**I'm so bummed. I took some pictures, but for some reason they're not loading onto the computer. If I can get them to work, I'll post them.

Davis and Fisher's Baptism

Fisher and Davis were baptized last Sunday. They did great during the service! Neither one of them made a peep. The week before a family had their twin girls baptized and they wailed the entire time. I was thankful that Davis and Fisher didn't do that, but I knew if they did it couldn't be any worse.

They wore white smocked bubbles with pleats down the front. I originally bought baptism gowns for them, but Fisher's was too small. I bought them back in the spring and tried to guess what size they'd be in. Evan was thrilled when he found out they didn't fit. He wasn't to keen on the boys wearing gowns or dresses as he called them.

After church everyone came to our house for lunch. We had a great time. Thank you for coming and sharing this special day with us. We really appreciate all of you coming, especially those that had to travel.

I took a lot of pictures, but we didn't get that many of the boys in their outfits because we changed them as soon as we got home. They were eating carrots for lunch and I really didn't want orange stains all over their outfits. :-) Ireally wish we could have taken more family pictures at the church. I did take them on Friday to have professional pictures made in their outfits. We got some pretty good pictures although I learned that late afternoon is not the best time to take pictures. They got fussy pretty quickly, but at least we got some good shots.

Aren't they cute?

I just love these pictures of the boys. My heart melts every time I look at them.
