Outings

It's been a while.

Need to post the week my mother in law took on Jen's kids.  We did a few things.  Two of the things we did were go to Jungle Jim's and the Zoo...

Had a few of the kids just driving around in circles. It was pretty hilarious.

Man, it's been so long since we did this (I've been a slacker at blogging!!) that I can't even remember anything for the captions.  Oh well!

 And here we are at the zoo!  As you can see, Zoorassic was in full swing!  It was so fun.

 Sam and Ava were a lot more interested in sitting in the stroller than my kids!  Haha

 Claire digging by the new construction area.  Next year, the zoo is going to be amazing!!

 Ava digging

 Giraffes!

 And the carousel is a MUST.

 So Claire is the size of a juvenile!

"Monkey bars".... They always seem to find those.

It was so fun!

Ava's Birthday

On Father's Day, we went to Jen and David's house for Ava's 2nd birthday....some fun pics! Samuel is getting SO BIG! He is only 4 months old and he is already practically Claire's size!!

Princess for the day

Classic Ava smile

Samuel--gonna be a hottie!

Claire and Samuel--they're practically the same size!!

Ok, very cute smile here...had to post :)

This is Grandpa Taylor's favorite--the "fly away" picture :) To me, she kinda resembles a hummingbird, you?

Walking is one of her favorite pastimes...ok with these pants on, and the way she is shown here, she kinda looks like she's in the military, ha!

Babysitting Ava

Who wouldn't want to babysit this little cutie? Well, when Jenn (her mom) called us, Jordan and I could NOT refuse, of course! Jenn went to Vegas over the weekend a few weeks ago (yes, it has been that long since I've posted last!) and we had Ava almost the whole weekend. She was as cute as ever, of course, and we had so much fun babysitting her. It was good practice for the future hehehe :) Jordan is already the perfect dad, lemme tell you. He knows SOOO much already, from babysitting her in the past, and he's no stranger to diaper changing, crying, bottle feeding, and keeping her quiet during church :)

One funny thing that happened is I had the TV on the HD music channel, and Ricky Martin Unplugged was on (DON'T laugh..I mean, it's not like I'm a huge fan or anything, but it was good music...: )) and Jordan laughed at me for watching it, at first, then sat down with Ava, and it was hilarious. See this pic of them on the couch.

She's enamored...

And MORE enamored...

With Ricky Martin...

It was pretty funny...
Well, looks like she'll have a Mom AND Dad now, because Jenn married her boyfriend, David, in Vegas that weekend...yes, it's true. And he's a GREAT guy. Just hope that Jenn will get used to the idea of being married again--I think she went down kicking and screaming, haha...
