15 weeks!!

Yes, the girls are 15 weeks already and they are sooooooo much fun. They are smiling and cooing more and more every single day. They looked so cute in these outfits with the hats on Sunday at church.

Ava has a small purple bruise on her bottom gums and we have no idea why. She's too young to be cutting teeth so we're not sure. It doesn't seem to bother her so we'll just keep an eye on it for now.

Cowgirls of Faith - Ladies Night

Our monthly Cowgirls of Faith "Ladies Night" was tons of fun!! Sandie Dickey came to sing and gave a great message to all of us ladies. We also had a wedding shower for Amanda who is getting married on Oct 17th. I left the girls with Duane and boy did they drive him crazy. LOL!! I told him that next time I would take one of the girls with me and only leave him with one of them. That way it would be much easier.

Boomer Sooner Baby!

Yes, Duane made the girls some Oklahoma Sooner outfits just for me! I know it broke his heart to see the girls wearing them but he was a good sport about it. They wore them to church and made all the Texas Longhorn fans mad! LOL!!

Emma & Ava turned 3 months old on Sunday. WOW!! Time is going by soooooooo fast and they are getting so big. They are both starting to grab, hold on, and touch things. We have been working with them so hopefully they will be able to hold a bottle soon.... we can at least wish for that to happen!

Emma Rolls Over

Emma rolled over for the first time on Saturday but I didn't have the video camera ready. I did today! I was working on the computer, had both of the girls doing tummy time and looked over to find her on her back. I got so excited, grabbed the video camera and prayed she would do it again. So, here it is on video. You go Emma!!!

Here's the link below! I couldn't get the video to upload her for some reason so I put it on Youtube. Just copy and past the link.

Ohio State Buckeyes

Yes, everyone knows that Duane is a "HUGE" Buckeye fan so he made sure the girls had something to wear on Saturday for the first game. So, we made them Brutus the Buckeye onesies and they turned out so cute. GO BUCKS!!

Emma rolled over for the first time on Saturday and she did it three times. How exciting for us to watch them grow and do something new every single day.

We went and visited with our good friends Chris and Becca yesterday. Of coarse we were trying to talk them into having a baby so the girls could have a friend to play with so we'll see if they go for it. LOL!!

Flip Flops! Flip Flops!

We put some shoes on Emma and Ava for the first time yesterday. They looked so cute on them. By the time we got to church last night we had put those shoes back on them a million times. As soon and we would put them one of them on, they kicked the other one off.





No more Bushes!

We've always wanted to pull the bushes in the front of our house because they block the view from our porch. One side of the bushes started to die so we decided to go ahead and pull all of them. I'm really excited because we can actually plant some flowers now. Duane is going to build us some rock flower beds to match the front of the house. Hopefully, we can make it really western.

They are gone!

Ready to take to the Dump!

School, School and More School...

Duane took a Quickbooks class last Wednesday and Thursday so we can starting using it more for our business. Hopefully, he can teach me how to use it! This should really help us out alot and make things really easy. Then, Friday night was my Ladies Night and he watched the girls. What a GREAT DADDY! We went to a Simulcast at Prestonwood North Baptist Church in Prosper to listen to Beth Moore. What a blessing to hear her speak! Then, Duane left on Saturday morning to attend the Texas Fellowship of Cowboy Churches School in Whitney, Texas for the day. I know he was so tired of sitting since he's not used to it but he had a great time and learned alot. He took several classes and really enjoyed himself.

My good friend Jessica came and spent the weekend with us and helped me with the girls. We went and visited another good friend of mine "Amber" and her new baby Brady. He's the girls first "Boyfriend". LOL!! Daddy says NO boyfriends!

Ava, Brady & Emma - The girls first "Boyfriend" - LOL!!

So Many Changes!

We'll alot has changed around our house in the past couple of months and it seems like it keeps changing. I've offically quit my job and staying home with the girls. They had orginally told me that I would be able to work from home after I had the babies but then said I wouldn't be able to when it was time for me to start back. So, now I'm working for Duane and doing all the office work plus I'm going to be selling cabinets/ new jobs. Please keep us in your prayers as we step out in "Faith" and trust God. I know he will always provide for us!!

The girls are doing great and they keep changing so much. They have chubby little cheeks and have really started smiling alot. We are so blessed to have "TWO" very happy babies. Duane went out walking with us the other night for our first offical "Family Walk". LOL! The girls just love it!

2 Months Old

Haven on the walk with us

We stopped to pet the horse and he's super friendly!

Alicia (my friend since 7th grade)and "Beautiful Haven"

Our new Jogging Stroller and the girls LOVED IT!!!

Our morning walk!

The girls turned 2 months old today. Duane & I took them to the doctor yesterday and boy have they grown. Emma weighs 10lbs 12oz and 21 inches long. Ava weighs 11 lbs 1oz and 21 1/2 inches long. They both got an A+ on the physical and developmental exam. They got a shot in both legs and an oral medicine which made them pretty cranky last night. They ran a little fever so we gave them some baby tylenol and they are feeling better today. The doctor told us that would be the side affect of the shots and it's normal. Besides all of that we are all doing great!

Duane found us a jogger stroller on Craigs List. I've been wanting to start exercising and taking the girls for a walk since it should start cooling off soon. My incession is pretty much healed now so we went for our first walk on Tuesday. It felt so great to get out and get some exercise and the girls loved it. My friend Alicia and her 3yr old daughter came to visit the girls on Tuesday and stayed the night with us. We had a great time catching up with each other!

7 Weeks Old Already!

The girls will turn 7 weeks old tomorrow and they are growing so fast. They are really starting to fill out and get some chubby cheeks. We've had more visitors come by the house to see them!

I had to go to the doctor Thursday because my incession split open in two places. Dr. Greenburg said I must of had some fluid behind the incession that needed to be released so thats what caused it to split. I have to clean it 4 times a day and then go back next week to make sure its better. He said it should heal just fine!

Ava loving her swing!
