Memorial Day

The Williams Family had a great time this Memorial Day Weekend. We went to our aunt and uncle's house in Indiana. When we first got there, Charlie was so tired he actually let me rock him for about 20 minutes. Thankfully I brought his pack-n-play and he took a 2.5 hour nap!

Taylor spent a lot of special quality time with her great-aunts, grandparents and cousins.

Charlie was a new person when he woke up from his nap. He was back to his cute self and kept offering me bites of his ring pop.

The boys were so excited when the discovered the kiddie pool. We just took off their clothes and let them have at it (luckily we brought a change in clothes)

It got a little crowded when the girls tried to join them.

Next Charlie tried to play cards with Daddy.

Meanwhile, Jacob and Taylor hung out in their little chairs.

Taylor really enjoyed going into the woods with her Great-Aunt Cheryl. She came back with a dandelion necklace and a handful of flowers for mommy.

Charlie's shirt says it all.

Taylor put it best when we got home (at 10pm!) by saying "Today was wonderful"

(Thankfully both kids caught up on their rest by sleeping in until 9:45am the next day!)

Parky's Farm

The kids and I went to Parky's Farm today. Taylor went on her first pony ride. She was so brave!

She was concentrating too hard to smile.

Charlie liked the petting zoo.

Taylor liked the baby goats.

I liked the wagon ride. (I swear, I didn't mean to match my outfit with Charlie's!)

Charlie likes offering me bites of his food now. It's so cute. He says "a bite?"

Taylor's new bike

Taylor is a big girl now so it's time for a bike with pedals. She got the hang of it in a bout 5 minutes. Charlie cracks me up in the video.

Firehouse Tour

The kids went on a tour of the Monroe Fire Station today with the MOMS club.

It was a lot of fun and the firefighters were so nice and accommodating. They let the kids sit in the fire truck,

Climb in the ambulance,

and check out all the fire gear.

Run, Jump and Play!

The kids and their cousins went to Run, Jump and Play last night. There was an area full of different playsets.

There was also an area of inflatables to jump and slide on!

Taylor was such a big girl!!

And charlie was so brave.

Jacob was a little unsure of it at first.

But he was jumping with the rest of them by the end!

Big Girl!!

In addition to graduating from diapers this week, Taylor ahs also graduated to a big girl bed! She was not in the mood to pose for pictures the first time she climbed in it, but she was very excited about it!


This is her first time actually sleeping in it. (Today during her nap)

I'm so proud of her, but I can't believe my baby is such a big girl now!

Bananas

The kids went to a place called Bananas last Thursday to jump and play and get their energy out. (It worked; Charlie slept for 3 hours when we got home!)

Taylor was fearless.
