Candice said:I did look up the stinking gourds, they do look similar, but there's no yellow flowers anywhere.. I'll post a close up of the leaves..

Both Cucumis melo and Cucurbita foetidissima (Stinking Gourd) have yellow flowers, so these have obviously finish blooming. I'm sticking with my original ID of Cucumis melo . They are fairly common around here and like you said they smell like a mild cucumber. Farmers consider them a noxious weed since they will cross pollinate with cultivated varieties. The second vine looks like Jacquemontia tamnifolia as Danita said.
