Thanks!
So I've gotten a couple e-mails from people saying that they can't get the videos to load. I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but I'll have my "geek squad" (Jason) check it out when he gets home from school today. Please leave us comments as to whether or not you were able to view the videos. We are able to see them...so I'm not sure what's going on!
THANKS!!!
I uploaded a couple videos of Taylor. The first, she's giving Jason an "adjustment", the second is her renditions of many popular kids songs. Even though Taylor is the main character in these films, don't miss Rilee in her best supporting actress role...especially in the songs video...her smiling cheese grin cracks me up!!
For Jason's break we decided to do a quick day trip to Seattle. From our place to the city is about a 3 hour trip, so we loaded the van with lots of movies, snacks and books. The girls did pretty well as far as traveling goes. We stopped twice on the way up for "run around" breaks, which helped keep us all sane. Once we reached Seattle, we did the Space Needle, an amusement park and Pike's Place Market. We headed home at about 6:00, but made a detour to IKEA!!! I LOVED that store. We spent probably 2 hours in there just gawking at everything. By the time we got home it was almost 11:30 and the girls were up and singing "The Wheels on the Bus". All in all, it was a great trip...quick, but fun!!
This is how the girls looked when we finally got to the maze.
So today we headed out to Sauvie Island to find our way through a corn maze there. It was such a blast. We got there right before it closed so I think there was just us and one more family in there together. Taylor had a blast since she got to walk the entire way and carry her umbrella...even though it wasn't raining. Jason said it was like following Mary Poppins through a corn field. Probably her favorite part of the entire trip was an hour long game of hide and seek that her and I played with Jason and Rilee. Anyways, that's our latest adventure. Here's pics to prove it :).
Thanks to Tamara Smith, we now have an update with Pictures!! Thanks for the reminder Tamara :)
Well lot's has happened since our last post. Both girls have had birthdays. Taylor tuned 2 on the 18th of July and Rilee turned 1 on August 14th. We celebrated pretty much the entire month long. We kicked of the parties with a "zoo party". We took a bunch of the girls's friends and thier families to the zoo, where Abby painted the kids's faces and we joined a million other kids for a fun day of gawking, crying and laughing. After we looked at all we could look at we met back at our place for pizza and cupcakes. We all had a blast. Within the next few weeks we had a party here at the house for each of the girls, plus a party with my folks and Jason's. Not to long after the girls's parties, we had one for me!!! So we've just been partying it up lately :)
The past couple of months we have finished up another quarter of chiropractic school, had a week long break, and are back in the saddle again. Jason is doing great in school. He had is best term yet as far as grades go and it was his hardest and busiest. So we are all feeling really proud of him. He's started his 9th quarter with a bang. Everyday he's been at the school from 7:00 to 7:00. It makes for long days for me and the girls, but we are getting back in our schedule and adjusting.
The girls are doing great. Taylor is hilarious. At dinner tonight her and Jason were telling "knock knock" jokes. She had no idea what was really going on, but she loved that we were cracking up at her. So it was fun. Rilee is so quite lately. She kinda sits in the background and observes her wild family. When she does decied to join in the "craziness" she jumps in with both feet. It's so much fun. We had a dance party today to the 80's music and Rilee got on her little princess skirt and was dancing with the best of them. Boy do I love these little girls.
Oh and both curly heads got their first haircuts. Rilee's little fly-aways finally got chopped off. It's amazing how different she looks. Taylor looks pretty much the same...just a bit tighter curls.
Well the pictures don't seem to be loading with this blog. I'm gointg to try and do a post of just the pics and see if it works.
Anyways, that's a bit of an update on us. Hope all is well with you and yours!!
The Youngs!
