11 Weeks: Great-Grandparents, Piggy Banks, Firsts and Dedication

I am overlapping from week 10 some because I forgot some things. We have had so much going on the last couple of weeks. A week ago last Friday my grandparents came to meet the boys. My grandparents are so great and I am so happy that they were able to come and meet their newest great-grandchildren. We got to spend all last week with them. We didn't do a whole lot. We just hung out around my house or Amy's house for most of the week while grandma spoiled the kids. Mama and Papa got to experience a few firsts that the boys had last week. They bought them their first jungle gym and the boys absolutely love it. They will just there and look all around and smile. It is so cute. Mama got to see Jackson roll over on his own for the first time (from belly to back) and Jacob laugh out loud. I missed Jackson rolling over but was holding Jacob when he laughed. It was so cute. The boys have both started smiling a lot this week. It's not just aimless smiling anymore. They are actually smiling at you when you talk to them. It is the sweetest thing ever!!! They are getting so big and changing so much. I just can't hardly believe it! Mimi bought the boys their first piggy banks last week too. She had some change to divide out between all the kids and Trey was the only on with a piggy bank so she got one for Taryn and the boys. Trey put all of the money in each of the piggy banks. Wednesday we went up to the outlets with the family. We did some awesome shopping for the boys at Children's Place...thanks to Aunt Amy who found the great sale for us...we bought 20 shirts and 6 pairs of pants for $45. It was all 6-9 months and winter clothing which is perfect for us. I was very excited. On Sunday Pastor McGinnis dedicated the boy back to the Lord. It was such a special time. Mom, Dad, Kathy, Mama, Papa, Amy, Travis, Trey, Taryn, Tia, Wes, Micah, Sloane, Erin and Elaina were all there with us and we were so happy to share that time with them. Travis took pictures for us so I will post those later. It was extremely important to Justin and I to have Pastor dedicate them. We know that God gave us these two wonderful boys. What a day of rejoicing as we presented them to the Lord. It was an absolutely wonderful week. I will be having family withdrawals this week. Here are some pictures of my ever-growing little boys...

As soon as Mama and Papa got here they were holding the boys. So sweet!
