Our big day!

It cracks me up now to think that just going to Waco for 5 hours constitutes a "big day" for us, but it does! Go figure! I took the girls today to a baby shower in Waco for an ex-colleague. The girls were SOOOOOOOO well behaved. They smiled and cooed and flirted with everyone at the shower. They didn't mind being held by others and were not grumpy one single time. That was amazing! Everyone kept commenting on what good babies they were and I was one proud mommy!

Then we stopped by Baylor's science building to see some of my friends. The girls finally got to meet Tracy and Kevin Pinney, Michelle, and Darla. It was so much fun. Lilly got a little fussy since it was time to eat but other than that, they were angels. We didn't get home until 5 pm, and the girls crashed early. We filled up their bellies and let them go to sleep. I think they were awake most of the day with the exception of the hour drive each way.

And, without further adieu, here are those cute pictures showing their new outfits....

Lilly looking all adorable...she's good at that!

I think Lexi was looking at her shoes! She loves them!

Craigslist

I absolutely love craigslist...you can find anything!! Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I have been searching the baby pages. Well Eric and I went window shopping at the mall the other day to see how much winter clothes for the girls might cost and where the "cutest" clothes were. Of course, I wanted to get them everything I saw and I would have to be a millionaire to do that.

So instead, I started checking craigslist more often and hit the jackpot...a lady in Copperas Cove was getting rid of her daughter's clothes 0-6 months. Her baby was now 9 months old. She had a bag of things including several little courdoroy hooded jackets with the tags still on them and only wanted $10. When Eric and I got there, she had pulled out tons more and gave us everything for $40. We were so excited!! Here are a couple of pictures of the girls in some of their new clothes....PS - I counted and we got 50 pieces and 2 pairs of shoes for that price!!

Little Lilly Ruffle-Butt! Adorable!

I am taking the girls to a baby shower in Waco today in matching little outfits that I got on clearance at the Baby Gap...for $4.99. I'll post pictures of that later!

This week so far...

So the baby quiz...thanks to you who took a guess. Eric said that technically it wasn't fair since I am really the only one who always gets it right. I thought it would be fun anyway! As of today, the 4 guesses taken were all wrong. Sorry guys! Lilly is the one in the solid outfit and Lexi is wearing the flowery-print. No worries, you will all get it down too. I am just with them every single day...Yea!!

Eric made an A on his Poli-Sci test and also did very well on his biology test. I didn't even help him study..way to go, honey!!

The girls are still growing like little weeds. I weighed them yesterday by weighing me holding each one and then weighing myself alone. According to that, they both weighed 11.6 pounds!! They are so big now! They are laughing more and more. They both crack up in the tub when I first splash them with warm water. They also like their toys more and more. They are now trying to hold things and this morning, I found them both talking to the fish on their swing. It was adorable!!

And as most of you already know that I went to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor for my undergraduate work. Well...

Eric will now be going there to continue his education, which makes me very proud, and then there is the next generation of Crusaders (the UMHB mascot)...see pictures below.

They only have the bibs right now, but they are very excited to wear them in support of the school!! And hopefully they will be attending their first Homecoming game in November as well. :)

Lexi was trying to see what the huge thing was around her neck!

Lilly just thought it was all too funny!

Which baby is which?

Just for the fun of it, I wanted to see if any or all of you could tell which baby is which. I know that when the girls are in a picture together some of you can tell right away. But how many can tell when they are separate?...mommy can always tell!

And NO CHEATING...do not scroll down to another post where I name the babies in the picture...just see what you think and let me know in a comment. In a couple of days, I will let everyone know who was right. Have fun everyone!!
