Judging by the last two pictures, I'd guess they are getting some kind of a dust bath. Babies that don't bathe tend to look all icky and greasy. Yours look soft and fluffy. Do you stand and watch the entire time? It's possible they jump in while mom is rolling or after she jumps out.
 
i actually put them in together and dust them my self right now every now and then cause i didnt want them to get nasty. i just sprinkle some on them then blown the excess off. But sometimes they will get in with mom then look helpless and try to get out. they have never rolled or anything on their own.
 
They may also be rolling against mama to get nice and fluffy :)).
