Michigan Adventure

Last Wednesday I took Taylor to Michigan Adventure for the first time. It was a long day... we left home at 8:30 am and did not get home until almost midnight. It was a little ruff beginning for Tay, she was tired by the time we got there. But after she warmed up we played in the water park for about 4 hours or so and then we hit the rides for another 4hours. Unfortunately I didn't get the camera out until the end. Taylor and I joined 30 other 'work friends' as Taylor calls them. Overall Taylor rode about 10 rides even one little roller coaster, and I didn't even get to see it. I had left to go ride one myself. Taylor made some new friends Megan and Jenna. She is already asking when she gets to see them again!!! (They are 9 and 14, Stacy's daughters) It was fun and exhausting. Can't wait until next year.
I was a little slow with the camera. Taylor had to ride with Jenna on her lap because she was too small. There were several rides that she couldn't get on yet... at the rate she's growing she'll be 8! It was funny, on the last ride, all of the kids that we met there ended up on the same ride and we didn't even realize it until they were getting on. Even though they were all tired they still enjoyed the last ride.

It was a great night. The girls came for a while and then went home with Mimi so mom and dad could have fun. And we did. We were one of the last ones there!! I spent some great time with Annette and Bailey. The only Miller girls. What a great night with the Miller's.

Congrats Bryan and Donna

Okay, more practice with the new camera. I have determined that I want a new lens and some other accessories. So anyway, Congrats to Bryan and Donna. We will be celebrating their wedding next May in Wilmington, NC.

Photo Op

So I was trying to play with the camera that I bought, and never have time to figure out how to use properly!! Taylor has a short attention span and Jenna really wants nothing to do with pictures!!

Happy Birthday Jenna Raye

Okay, here is round one of Jenna's birthday celebration. On Sunday we had our parents over to have a nice relaxing get together with Jenna. Here is her first cake, well whole cake at least. The first thing she did was try to throw it off the tray. (That seems to be her new trick lately. Throwing everything.) Jenna was so happy to get her new shopping cart, but Taylor was just a happy. Jenna got so many great gifts. Thank you everyone.

Taylor had time for one quick pose between opening all of Jen Jen's presents.
Taylor and Grandpa being silly as always.
Grandma and Jen in one of the rare moments she wasn't clinging to me!
Okay and here is round two tonight. Tonight for her birthday she had a whole ice cream sandwich. She did very well, she didn't want to waist any and I caught her licking her hands when it was gone to make sure she had it all. We had another cake for her to destroy, but it was a mess. Hot and sunny one minute and raining the next, so we just stuck with the ice cream.Here is the crew that we entertained tonight. It was warm so everyone had their suits on and played in the sprinkler and kiddie pool. I just love this... there are three different groups of kids and none of them are paying attention to the other, and poor Jenna is screaming in front!!
Another shot of the monsters. They are all trying to get drinks from the sprinkler. We tried again to get them all in a row.. yeah right.
My favorite is all their tongues sticking out trying to drink. I love this one of Aubrey!

A few Random Pics

Here are a few pictures from last week. The girls and I went to the beach last Tuesday. It was difficult because all Jenna wanted to do was eat the sand. Here she looks all cute and innocent playing in the water.
Taylor had a great time. She tried to catch some fish in her bucket. There were tons of minnows an little fish swimming all around.... eeeeeww, and she even made a few new friends to play with. Big surprise right! She's just not shy at all.
We also recently went to the little carnival in Davison. It was a little shady, but Grace and Taylor rode their first roller coaster. And finally I had to put this one in there. A week or so ago the girls and I went out to Applebees while dad was golfing. Taylor wanted us to have a date night, and she wanted to invite our friend Shell. So Rachelle was kind enough to share her lemon with Jen. It took a few bites but we eventually got this reaction!
