Making memories TWO at a time!

We made it to church on Sunday with Gran and Daddy Day. It was a little chilly outside so Mahlon got to wear his new sweater and they both had on their precious shoes from the Stones. We had a little photo shoot after lunch to show off clothes that finally fit. We are growing soooo quickly, does someone know if there is a pause button for babies??

Happy Belated Birthday Daddy Day!




Great-Great Uncle Teet, Gran and Daddy Day were all at our house for dinner Saturday. Wesley made a Mexican Fiesta for Daddy Day's belated birthday celebration. He has become quite the chef! I don't think I have cooked a meal since July thanks to all of our sweet friends, Cheri and Wesley! (yes Sara Beth is spitting up in the picture with her grandparents!)



Baby Shower



Today Jennifer had a baby shower...Ollie will be here in December! Doesn't Jennifer look too cute...you can barely tell she is pregnant! It was a lot of fun seeing so many friends from college and sharing babies stories...boy have we all grown up!

Look how big we are!



So we were curious to see how tall Mahlon was compared to Sara Beth...he is 2 inches taller!He is long and lean and bless her heart...Doc calls her Rolley Polley. Mahlon is 24 inches long and Sara Beth is 22 inches. We think they are around 13- 13 1/2 pounds. We have shots on Tuesday so we'll have a weight for sure then.

Aunt Lani was home (in Soso) for the Birthday party too! We put her to work feeding, burping, changing poopy diapers and bathing 2 babies!! She is now pooped too!! Maybe she'll get some rest this weekend.

Happy Birthday Doc!





Today Doc turned 61! Cheri cooked a wonderful birthday dinner and then we opened gifts...Mahlon and Sara Beth were pooped. They were already in PJ's by the time the party started. Doc opened his singing b'day card...we picked this especially for him. It sang Old MacDonald had a farm...except when we sing it to Mahlon and Sara Beth we sing Old Doc Jefcoat had a farm...this is one of their favorite songs! Cheri bought this singing bear for Sara Beth and Mahlon and they laugh and coo when it sings to them. Their little personalities are starting to come out. They are too sweet and growing up sooooo fast!

Busy Day in Laurel

Cheri and Mahlon


Little Mahlon wasn't quite sure what to think!

Our little hands...can't wait to see the finished product!
Sara Beth slept through most of the excitement.


We had such a busy day today. Cheri and I took the babies all over Laurel today. We started out visiting Sawmill Animal Hospital to see "DOC" on his birthday. Then we had lunch at Campanella's (new Italian Restaurant in Laurel.) After lunch we shopped a little and then headed to the church to visit with everyone there and feed the babies. And then we headed to DoodleBugz Pottery to make handprints on the cute platter Mrs. Sherry gave us. Of course while we were there we had to get a few other things made (this isn't the finished product). The babies slept most of the day and Sara Beth even slept through her first 2 handprints. Now that we are back in Soso Cheri and I are pooped, but the babies are wide awake! Tonight we have dinner with DOC for his birthday!

Fall Festival

We had a busy Sunday. Wesley went to church today for nursery duty but me and the babies stayed at home and got a little extra sleep. We went for a walk...the weather was beautiful, then Sally came over to see the babies. She helped me feed the babies and get them dressed while daddy got a nap. Then we loaded up and headed to the babies first church picnic/Fall Festival. We had wonderful food and fellowship and lots of help with the babies...thanks Claire and Susan! We had a great day!

Newest Little Bulldawgs!

After a five hour stretch of sleep on Friday night we decided to brave the crowd and head to Starkville Saturday morning. This was not a last minute decision...it took lots of planning and packing...double the bottles, diapers, wipes, burp cloths, bibs, extra clothes. It was a big effort, but we did it!


The babies slept the 2 hour drive there and we had to wake them up once we got to the tailgate to feed them. Jennifer and Brandi took over so Wesley and I had a little break and we got to munch on food and visit. So nice!



On our way to the game Mahlon and Sara Beth got to meet Sally, Owen, Maury and Carter.


One of our friends (Betsy) gave us her extra Club Level tickets so we were able to enjoy the game from the inside. So now I am spoiled...don't want to sit in the sun anymore! The babies were wide awake through the whole game...and cowbells and loud screams were entertaining to them I think. We gave them another bottle with help of Nancy's mom Mrs. Cheryl. She just loved on Sara Beth and took care of her the whole game. We stayed almost to the end (we didn't want to push our luck), loaded the babies up and headed home. The babies slept the whole ride home and we made it back just in time for the next feeding. We were so glad we made the trip. It was a lot of fun and we almost feel like things are somewhat normal again. (and then Daylight savings messed it all up!) Maybe in a day or 2 we'll get back on our schedule.
