i would basically start from the beginning. Treat them as tho the are puppies who are not house broken. Crate training can still work with them. Make sure you put them on a feeding schedule as well.

First thing in the morning take them outside. Then give them breakfast. Right after they are finished eating put them in their crates/pen(without pee pads) for 15-20 minutes. This lets the digestive system work and they will probably have to 'go' after 15 minutes. After times up take them outside and tell them to 'go potty' or whatever cue you want to use. If they both go then they get 'free time' for 30 minutes to an hour. After this time is up put them back in their crate/pen. Basically what is going to happen is that they go potty and then get play time for 30-60 minutes then get more crate time. Dinner is the same as breakfast. As they start to do better on this schedule with holding their pee/poop and not going in the house you can lengthen the play/free time. eventually they will hold it until you take them out because they know you will be taking them out soon.

If you want to train them to give you a sign they have to go out, many people here use bells on the door. When you start to use the bells ring them yourself and say 'potty outside' or whatever right before you open the door to go out to potty. then start picking up their paw and hitting the bells to go potty. soon they will start going to the door to hit the bells themselves to let you know they have to potty.

i hope some of this helps you out.
