Twins holding Twins
We have been at Eric and Malissa's this week and they have some friends that are twins. Jackson and Jared are 17 year old twins boys. They loved the boys and we took their picture with them. The oldest is holding the oldest and the youngest is holding the youngest!
It sure was cute!

Quilting Bee and Golfing!
We have had a busy week with the boys! Yesterday, my mom, the boys, and I joined Gran at her monthly "Quilting Bee - The Sunbonnet Sue." It is a meeting with 10 older ladies that sit and talk about quilting and show each other their latest quilting projects that they have been working on. It was lots of fun and we got to learn how to make a new project. Also, one of the ladies showed a really neat purse that she made - We were given the pattern and I am anxious to learn how to make it. The boys were the highlight of their meeting! Those ladies just loved on Michael and Jeremiah - they sure are a joy to people!
Then today, Mike took my mom to the golfing range to teach her how to play golf. She has been eager to learn for some time, so we packed the boys up and went to learn. While Mike and my mom played, the boys and I sat on the side and watched and enjoyed the wind!
Tomorrow we are going to Georgia to help Eric and Malissa remodel their house! This will be the third trip for the little guys- hopefully they will do as well on this one as they have the past two.
Here are some pictures from the events!

In Honor of Sgt. Ryan D. Phillips
The onesies that are pictured in this week's "Wordless Wednesday" is in honor of my brother, who is serving our country in Afghanistan with the Army. Ryan hasn't been able to meet the boys yet, so we purchased these onesies and sent him this picture.
We love you Ryan and we are so proud of you!!!

12,000 words worth of pictures!
Here are a few updates on the boys:
- They are now going TWELVE hours at night!!! Whoo Hoo! I feed them at 8:00-8:30 at night and they wake up to eat around 8 in the morning. Once they start sleeping longer in the morning, I am going to move their bedtime up to 7:30ish. That is the goal!
- Because of the long stretch at night I have had to adjust their daily schedule to accomodate 5 feedings a day. I am not sure if they can have just 4 feedings a day yet. We go to the pediatrician on the 22nd, so I will be sure to ask him. Right now they have one four hour stretch in between feedings in the morning (Due to their LONG nap), then they go every 3 hours in the afternoon.
- They both seem to be on the verge of giggling! They will smile at you all day (unless they are frantically hungry) and will sit there and talk to you . They are such a joy and a blessing! Jeremiah has started to enjoy his hands and loves to lay there with his fist high in the air. Michael's new thing is that he loves to "fly" in the air, and he will bring his legs so high above his body.
- We had our first nursery experiences! Mike preached at a church here in Pensacola, so I took the boys in the nursery so that we wouldn't be distracted. They were the only babies in there so that was nice (for me - and for them, I am sure). I told the worker that in about 30 minutes they would start to get tired and told her what I do, etc. When we came back they thanked me for letting them love on our boys and just said what a joy they were! She said that they got tired right when I said they would and so she laid them down and turned on the monitor so they could here the sermon. She said within five minutes of them listening to Mike, they fell asleep. (Either Dad's voice soothes them, or puts them to sleep :) ) It is so nice to have predicatable babies on a good schedule! It makes things so much easier for me and for people that are watching them! Our other experience was at a huge church that we went to last Sunday. I knew the music would be loud so we took them to the nursery. It was a different experience then the first time. It was a lot bigger, more babies, more workers, more paperwork, etc... I felt fine leaving them, but I knew they wouldn't do as well as the first time. This time it was in the morning during their long nap, and I knew they wouldn't sleep well in the very bright, noisy room. She said they slept about 25 minutes, which is fine - they caught up for it in the afternoon.
I haven't been able to post pictures lately because I lost my camera cord - but HAVE NO FEAR - I found it last night and so here are some pictures from the past week or two - some are older, and some are new... Enjoy! :)
Napping on Grandma MiMi's bed
Michael was fussy, and Granddaddy put him on his chest and hummed deaply - he was so content!

Look at those dimples!
Jeremiah was INTENTIONALLY touching Dad's beard!

Both of my boys! Jeremiah JUST woke up - He is so sleepy.

Fishing
One of the highlights of Mike's summer is getting to go fishing with my grandfather! Last semester, that is what Mike talked about ALL THE TIME - that he couldn't wait to go fishing! He has been able to go quite often, and is going again tomorrow and the next day. Here are some belated pictures of the fishing trip when Eric and Malissa came (I lost my camera cord, so I am just now getting these pictures on the computer)
. You will notice that I DID NOT go!!! Fishing, for one, is not my forte. I choose not to make myself miserable from the heat, sticky air, waves, and smell! I chose to stay home with my precious twin boys - and we had lots of fun my ourselves :).
