Rainy Day...

So for WHATEVER reason...one day it started to rain and Adam yells to the kids "Hey guys, let's go play in the rain!!" First they looked at him and wondered if he was joking...then when he started for the front door they jumped up and headed out with him...to dance in the rain. They had a blast and even little Liah joined in. Due to the fact that I have been having ankle problems, I didn't think it was a good idea for me to take my chances and slip on the water...I know...this is where I would say "Party Pooper". And yes...I was! So here are some pictures from dancing in the rain and a video. BOY did these kids have a fun time!!

Fun Filled Weekend with Grandma

Ok. I have SO MUCH catching up to do!! LIKE months!! So this is my attempt to fill you guys in on what's been going on...one post at a time. Here's the first of hopefully many :)

...despite the fact that we only live 40 or so minutes from grandma, we don't make it to visit her as much as she'd like. She misses her grandkids ALOT...soooo...we decided to take a trip. Just grandma, the kids, and me. We went to Chattanooga and visted some COOL places.




First we went to the Tennessee Aquarium. I really thought this would test Liah's patience but MAN!! She LOVED IT! She was MEZMORIZED!!



The boys enjoyed the aquarium as well. They loved being able to see cool fish among other things.


There was a room in the aquarium that was FULL of beautiful butterflies! It was awesome! They were landing on people and making themselves at home.



There were HUGE jellyfish, small jellyfish, and turtles to name a few more.




ALL in ALL, I think they had a lot of fun!

Among the Cave Dwellers...

Hello to all those who thought the Taylor's had dropped off the face of the planet. Thanks for never giving up hope we'd post a blog again! LOL!

So what have we been up to? Well, around the fourth of July Adam's parents came into town. That week was the week we tried to do too much too fast and as a result we were...well...I should say I was not a very good host. The Saturday before Adam had been at an ultimate frisbee tournament ALL DAY and then I went out of town on Sunday only to return the day before his parents were to arrive. Despite our lack of energy and thank goodness his parents are so great and easy going, we had a great time anyways.

Adam's dad joined Adam on a painting job while his mom joined me and the kids on a trip to the library and somewhat of a normal day in the Taylor household. The next day we went to Mammoth Cave which was the first time the boys had ever been there. Everyone seem to have fun...even little Liah who was a HANDFUL :) I say that with a smile and a grrrrrr! The boys-Adam, Gabriel, Isaac, and Adam's dad-built a rocket and launched it on Saturday which was a blast for the boys as well. Everyone was sad to see them go but grateful for the time we were able to spend with them. We love you!!
