New Toys!!!

So the Easter Bunny brought baskets and a couple of new toys. The boys have just started "playing" like children. It really happened over night! They love being on the floor playing with toys. In true twin fashion they each steal toys from the other one.

Hey Guys, can you go ahead and open this for me!!!

A week at Grammie's and PaPa

Another real plus about being at the Grandparents is that they bought the babies single strollers since there is always someone extra to push a baby. I am now so spoiled after pushing these strollers around. The boys loved them, as long as you kept pushing. They also loved shopping and chewing on empty Panera cups. Who knew that a plastic cup would be so entertaining!!!



Sorry for the poor quality picture. We took the twins shopping one day and here they were being perfect little ones at lunch. I was shocked to say the least. They are in love with Baby Einstein so as soon as we got our food we turned on the DVD player...LOVE IT!!!

We are 8 months old today!!!!

Can you believe it we are 8 months old today! Wow, the twins are growing so fast. We celebrated the day in our PJ's. No cake or ice cream just yet...

Let me help you with that...

Barrett loves to help clean! Ha! No really he just loves to grab the paper towels and see how much he can roll off before we are able to stop him. Then when we move him or the paper towels he lets us know that he does not appreciate us interrupting him.

Mail Please!

Carter's new thing is to help Momma go through the mail. He really inspects the envelopes then hands them on over. Sometimes it is quite strange because it seems like he is really reading them.

What channel would you like?

There is no better toy on the planet right now than the remote control. They LOVE it! Barrett is helping entertain us all while I am cooking dinner.

Chew Bones?

The boys have become obsessed with these teething rings. We find them precariously placed around the house and if they see one they immediately start jumping up and down. Barrett, on the left, loves to steal them from Carter and keep them all for his self!

Thank You So Much!!!!!!!!!!!

We have to announce a HUGE "thank you" to Heather's Mom who came and stayed with the boys so that we were able to get away for a little R&R. We went to the Ritz Carlton at Lake Oconee and had such an amazing time! We almost forgot what it was like to actually enjoy an adult dinner and uninterrupted sleep...it was heaven! It was such a wonderful weekend and from what we were told the boys did not miss us at all. Carter and Barrett are in love with Grammie so I am sure that they had as much fun as we did.

A very snowy night...

We took a quick drive around the neighborhood just as the snow really started laying on the ground. It wasn't long before we started slipping and sliding so we decided to play it safe and come back to the house for some yummy soup!


This is our neighborhood club house

Carter and Barrett's First Snow

We got almost five inches last night! So exciting!!! We took the boys out and to play in the snow this morning, it had already melted off the road but the yard was perfect for playing in.

History in the making!!!

As you can see from the above pictures we got snow yesterday!!! It was gorgeous. Carter and Barrett were able to go out and check this marvel of nature. It has not snowed in Augusta since 2002. They were not that thrilled about it though. I must warn you that there are no smiling babies...But we all enjoyed this very unique occurrence.



Carter was not exactly sure what all the excite was about!

It's a TOOTH!

So finally after what seems like weeks of fussiness, Barrett has a little tooth that has made its debut. Our first tooth! As soon as I can get a good picture of it I will post it. Carter is surely to follow. Yeah Barrett!!!

Check-Up Stats

We went to the pediatrician for their 6 month check up today! Our little guys are growing very well! Carter weighed in at 18-0 lbs and Barrett weighed in at 18-14! Whew, now I know why my back hurts. They both were 27 1/4 inches long; so we appeared to be around the 75th percentile on the growth chart. The really exciting news is that we don't have to have any more shots until our first birthday! Yeah!

In true "Horn" fashion I felt the need to change Carter's diaper on the exam table right before the nurse came in with the shots...Carter thought this would be the perfect opportunity to pee everywhere. It was all over him, the table, floor, and me! Oh joy, So after cleaning a baby, myself and the exam room I was ready to hit the road with our circus act and let some other family share the spot light...

We're Six Months Old

The Twins turned six months old on Saturday so we celebrated with a few cupcakes. The babies actually celebrated with rice cereal (too little for frosting). As you can tell in the pictures they were very entertained with the singing! If you are wondering why Barrett's name on his cup cake appears smudged its because Carter decided to stick is foot in it! Oh gracious...

Go Vols!??!

Carter is so Sad!

We had to break the news to Carter that Daddy did not get the Head Coach position at UT. He was very upset, but did eventually calm down...Ha!

Sweet Potato Disaster

The other night I was feeding Barrett his most favorite food, sweet potatoes. He has started using his hands to swat away anything that disinterests him. He decided to smack the spoon which sent a huge dollop right on his left eye. On a scale of 1 to 10 for Mommy hysterics, I immediately went to a 12! I just knew that I had blinded my baby with sweet potatoes. As I frantically wiped away the layers, Barrett thought it was the funniest experience ever. So we thought, just for fun, we would throw on some Safety glasses to prevent any future mishaps.

Future College Recruits

We wanted to go ahead and get their first college recruitment photo ready!

Jump Jump Jumperoo

We have a new toy in our house, Jumperoo! The boys just love it. Barrett will jump until he literally falls asleep. After a quick nap he wakes up and starts jumping again.

I want to laugh and not go to bed!

I went to the grocery store the other night and when I came home the boys were ready for fun and certainly did not want to go to sleep...
