text messages...

So Emily, my little sis, has been keeping the boys here lately for me. I would have never thought in a million years, that she would be this good with them, but she is! She is AWESOME with them, and they LOVE their Aunt Emily so much. Im not going to lie, and she wont either, but Camden is her favorite. I think it has a lot to do with when they were first born, everyone was to scared to hold him because he was so little, 4lbs 4oz, so everyone was holding Easton, and literally the only people that would Camden, were me and Robby, and my mom and Amy and Emily. If friends or family stopped by, they would lounge for East and poor Cam would get stuck with one of us, and so Emily didnt care, she would just snuggle him up and hold him forever. But any way Im getting off track!!! So back to where I was going with this post. Emily and I text several times a day about the how the boys are doing and such, and some of her texts crack me up. And so I thought I would share them on here, 1 because I want to be able to look back at them, and 2 because they are hilarious! Well I think they are!.!.
Here are a few text messages we have exchanged over the past few days, these are unaltered straight from my blackberry!! Just fyi every thing in parentheses is just added commentary!

This was Wednesday morning...

Me: Whats up chicken butt?? How are the boys doin? (I know I shouldnt talk that but thats how we talk!!lol)

Emily: They both just pooped eastons was runny and was drizzling down his legs

Me: Ewww that is sooooooo freakin gross!!! i am seriously glad that was u changing him and not me!!! hahaha

Emily: Meanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what can I say, I was glad that it was her and not me!! haha..

This was later on that day..
Emily:Haha easton passes out in his jumperoo

Me: yeah, isnt he the cutest! did you get him out?

Emily:naa i just let him sleep in it, he is up now

lol, I know you may think this is wrong, but I think it is, she just lets them do whatever whenever, I can see this happening when they are older as well!

This was Saturday night at the rodeo..
Emily: Can i hold him i dont have marlee any more please (she was talking about holding Camden, if you remember, Cam and East both were held quite a bit by the ladies behind us. And Emily had been holding Marlee, our niece, this text just melted my heart! She loves them both so much!!)

This one was the other day..
Me: How are the boys?

Emily: Easton just pooped the nastyest diaper ever it got on his feet and legs it was soooooo nasty!!!!

Me: LOL!!! well at least his belly doesnt hurt anymore and he wont be fussy any more (easton had been kinda cranky that day)

Emily: its ok lol (well at least she has a good sense of humor)

And finally the one I got this morning! I died laughing!!
Emily: I was just changin camdens poopie diaper and when i was raisin him up he peeded all in is face he just sat there and laughed.

Me:awww! my poor baby! LOL, did you clean him up good, em?

Emily: YES melis!!!!

I know these were kinda gross, but this post was mostly for me to go back on in years to come and have a good laugh!!

Short but Sweet Visit!!!

My niece, Marlee, came by with my dad, aka Big Daddy, to see the boys Saturday afternoon! This was her first time to meet them! She didn't want to leave! I woke Easton up from his nap so she could home and get a picture with him!

Naples Rodeo!

Camden and Easton attended their first rodeo this weekend. They loved every minute of it!! My poor lil angel, Camden, should have been my sister's child (she was SOOO incredibly accident proned!!). He cant catch a break! While he was being passed back and forth from person to person, i am guessing that he got his left pinky toe caught in a coke can and it just sliced it open. It makes me cringe just thinking about it! It bled for a good while, I then kinda maybe just a little freak out. I decided we needed to find a medic! Amy thought this was hilarious, I can NOT wait till her little one gets here! These things are totally different when its you own kid!!! anyway, some antibacterial soap and a band aid later, we were good to go!!! Check out the pics!

These lovely ladies held the boys for just about the entire rodeo. And i have NO clue what there names where! ha!

Amy and Justin, this is the 2nd pic I took. I am pondering on whether to put the first one up or not!! hmm!!

I wasn't going to post this pic, but you know what? This is my blog and i will post what i want! Look to the right of me, HOLY MOLY!! We laughed about this for ages... This pic does NOT do justice to how big those suckers are! ONLY in Naples would see those! LOL!!

Easton being played with by his MeMe!

Camden being held by his Big Daddy! This was right before we noticed the toe incident.

My poor baby's toe!

Guess who is with me at work today???

My lil Camanator that's who!! My little sister, Emily, who is 17, so I guess not so little any more, was keeping the boys for me today. Not a big deal, she has kept them lots before. Well this morning about 9:15am, she calls me on my cell, and all I can hear in the back ground is Camden crying. Yes I know my babies cries, any mother with multiples knows that every babies cry is different. So anyway, I can barely hear Emily over the screams, and she says, "Camden has a hair wrapped around his finger!!!" I was telling her to pull it off and she said, no you don't understand, Melis, its so tight I cant get it off!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!! I immediatly grabbed my purse and ran, I mean sprinted out the door!!! I live 15 minutes from work. I made it home in 6 minutes. She called me right before I exited the interstate and told me she got it off. I walked in the door a few minutes later, and his finger was so red, she said that it had gotten purple! My poor lil angel!!! I decided to bring him back to work with me to keep an eye on it. These pics were taken at around noon. They really don't do it justice, it looked really really bad!!!

Our after lunch siesta!! I wish I could join him!!!

Just look at his lil ring finger!!!

I put some ointment on it, thats why its so shiny!

We got a new toy!!

My mom keeps the boys A LOT for me. Which I have thanked my lucky stars that I haven't had to put them in day care yet. So this past week she was keeping the boys for me on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Thursday I asked her if it would be alright if Amy and I went to Longview to visit a dear friend that was in the hospital, I will post about that later. The plan was for Amy and I to leave right after work, run to Longview and come home. Well my mother calls me as soon as I get to Longview and tells me Easton has been throwing fits ALL day. He didn't want in his swing, he didn't want to lay on the floor and play with his toys, he wanted to be held and to be able to look around. I had forgotten their bumbos that day. And basically she and he both had had enough! She told me that we had to have something for him to sit up in for tomorrow, because she was not holding him all day, which I DO NOT blame her in the least bit. So after our visit, Amy and I headed to Target. I knew I would be buying one of these, but I thought it would be another month or so. Now before yall start thinking, I should have just went and got the bumbos from my house. Let me explain. My mom lives in Marietta, I live in Winfield, and we were in Longview, at 8'oclock PM!! lots of driving, and late at night, one tired momma, one kinda cranky pregnant sister=NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!

So this is what I got! (and it was on sale! score!!)

He LOVED it! My mom said that they put it together and put him in it, and he just smiled and coo'd the whole time. He was so happy that he could look around and see everything! Then once he figured out if he moved a little bit or bounced that it plays music, Oh My Goodness, its so cute!! These were takin over the weekend!

Camden waiting patiently for his turn.

Easton telling Camden, "sorry brother, I'm having to much fun!"

still waiting, look at those curls!!!

watching Easton playing.. still waiting on his turn...

Camden finally gets a turn, and umm, yeah he likes it but his little feet don't even touch the ground!! poor thing! He still likes to sit and wiggle around and make it play music that way!

Easton watching Camden playing.

This was last night! He wore him self out!

Easton

Tummy Time!!!

Camden left, Easton right.

They played them selves out! Camden left, Easton right.

Easton started squirming when
I took this pic, and I looked down and noticed the rings he was playing with, some how became a bracelet. I took them off and a paci later, we were good to go for a good nap!

So sweet!!

Bath time!

Having two babies, means 2 of everything! So when I started seeing other moms putting there bumbos in the little swimming pools, so their babies weren't just sitting in the water, but instead in there bumbos, I got this idea for bath time.

It works like a charm!

I wash what I can while they are sitting there, and then take one out at a time and wash their hair and everything else. These pics were taken Sunday night. This was the first time I did it. I did it again last night and I'm pretty sure I will continue to do it this way till they can sit up really good on their own.

Camden

Bed time...

I went in to check on the boys last night before I went to bed and this is what I saw! They are so sweet, I could just eat them up!

Just an extra pic!

Camden's big blue eyes!! I took this pic of Easton the other day and I have been trying to get one of Camden.

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin (down a river!)

Last night while we were playing in the floor, Easton rolled from his tummy to his back! I grabbed my camera to see if I could catch him doing it again, sure enough he did!! Then later that evening, I put Camden down to play, because he was NOT in the mood when Easton decided to roll over. And sure enough, Camden decided he would surprise me and roll over too! He was so happy and laughing and cooing! It was so cute!

playing away

Easton beginning..

to roll..

over he goes!! Daddy letting him know its ok!

Camdens Turn!

Camden beginning to..

push off and ...

over he goes!!

I never can get a good pic of him smiling!

This is what Camden was doing while Easton was playing and rolling, He wanted NOTHING to do with being on the blanket and playing.

This was right before bed. Look at those big blue eyes!! So sweet!!!
Easton

what a weekend!!

The title of this blog says it all! Oh my goodness, we had 3 fun filled days! Here are some pics from our weekend.

I was off work Friday, the 3rd. Easton and Camden also turned 3 months old! We met up with Amy at Bealls and then went to IHOP to eat lunch and then headed home to take some pics with their bunny. I have been taking their milestone pics with this bunny since they have been born.


This is the second photo session that Easton has screamed during the WHOLE thing. If I am just randomly taking pictures, he is great, but the moment that I TRY to even pose them, forgetaboutit!!!

Then he upsets Camden, look the lip is quivering...

and there you have it folks, COMPLETE meltdown!!!
Lovely..

This was taken after they went down for the night. I had to have SOMETHING to look back on, when they both or one or the other weren't crying!

On Saturday the 4th, we were invited to 2 birthday party's but only made it to one, (sorry auntie paula!!) The day started off good. I learn from my mistakes and made sure they had a good long nap before the party that started at 2pm. That was a very good move on my part! I'm getting this parenting thing down! LOL! One of my bestest friends, Ashleigh Wilson, had her twin girls, Caleigh and Claire's 3rd birthday on Saturday. Oh my goodness, was it CUTE!!! Ashleigh goes ALL out on her kids birthdays! If you ever need help planning one, she is the girl to call!!

Ashleigh made the girls cakes. Too cute! And she also had cupcakes and cookies. Every 3 year old dream party!!!

The birthday girls enjoying their cake and ice cream.

Can't have a birthday party without a cupcake! I LOVE this pic!
I am pretty sure this is Claire?!!?!

time to open presents! Big brother, Colton, was "just helping!!" to cute!!

The girls best present! The only thing they wanted! what else? a purple bicycle!!

The girls look so much alike, I cant tell them apart from behind, I hope that this pic and the one above isn't the same lil girl!

Camden was great through the whole party! Here is Colton holding him, he loves holding them, its the sweetest thing!

Easton was good for the most part, here he is asleep on the back of Ashleighs couch, as the girls opened their presents. He then woke up with a belly ache, but Ms. Karen, Ashleighs WONDERFUL mother in law, saved the day!

After the party, we all loaded up and went to my uncle Sherrills house. My aunt Shannon was down from Conway, AR for the day. So we went over there to visit. We hadn't seen them since Easter.

My lil cousin, Logan holding Camden. He HAD to hold him right then and there!! Soo cute!

He then had to hold Easton... notice the chocolate pudding on Logans face!! :)

Logans big sister, Alyssa, had to get in the mix too! She held both babies, but I only got a shot of her holding Camden. In fact she fed Easton for me but the pic was horrible, so I couldn't post it! But she did an AWESOME job!! thank you Alyssa!!

This is my cousin Ben and his fiance, Lacie, they are getting married in September! Ben fed Camden as Alyssa was feeding Easton. I was more nervous while Ben was feeding Cam than I was Alyssa feeding Easton!! LOL!! All me and Lace could do was laugh at Ben.. It was TOOO comical!!

Logan entertaining us through the glass door! I love that kid! He cracks me up! I cant wait for them to move down here so I can see them more often!!

I wish I had more pics of this visit!! But we were to busy talking and catching up on everything, which was more important anyway!!

After this visit, we loaded up and went to Robbys dads for dinner and fireworks!

Jordan lighting fireworks! Oh my goodness this kid was excited!!

oooo awwww!!!



Pretty fireworks!!


He was so proud of him self! We were too!!

This is what the boys were doing the whole time we were outside, well over an hour! They were worn smooth out!!

Sunday, we all just layed around and chilled out! We went and ate at Luigies and then headed to Wal-Mart! Fun times!!

Jordan entertaining the boys while Robby and I get bottles and the diaper bag packed!! I love this pic!!

Easton and his cute self!!!

Camden was tuckered out! He slept the entire 2 hours we were in Wal-Mart!!!

Well that was our weekend!! Hope everyone had a Happy 4th!!
