a little Saturday fun...

Once again we had a Taylor family work day (and a little bit of playing too). We love to be outside together getting things done and having some fun. Here are a few pictures of a really great day...

Emerson finally mustered up the courage to drive the Jeep and the Gator. Watch out because he is fast and furious. He is pretty good at driving for a 2 year old. He hasn't hit anything yet.
Zoey helped out with the lawn clippings. She put the Gator to some good use. It was actually pretty helpful and she has some impressive skills in reverse-- thanks Z!
This picture is for Cassie-- I know you miss the lilacs. This one is from our front yard.
I found some snakes in our wood pile-- the hard way. Tim was brave enough to catch one of them for me. Rugby thought is was so cool-- I did not. I made him take it far far away from our yard. He assures me that snakes don't like to travel very far so it probably won't come back. It sounds like a line of hooey to me.
Zoey wouldn't touch it but Rugs was totally into it. I know this picture alone will cure Cassie from ever wanting to visit us again. (don't worry Cass-- I'll make him hunt down the other one and get it too!)

First off that snake is SSSOOOO nasty!!! I guess I should be grateful you don't live in Cali so at least it's not a rattle snake! Hopefully Rugs won't have as many life threatening stories to tell later on in life like his daddy. Anyways, the kids look super cute! I can't believe Em is driving the Jeep...I told you not to let him grow up while I was gone...guess I'll have to come home again and take care of things myself! :) ZZ looks adorable in the gator. Chris and I especially like the head band placement. Miss you tons!

I loved the lilacs. I missed them in California. Good job Zoey being a super helper. Good job Rugby with the snake. You know your Dad and his brothers and sister all played with snakes all the time. Your dad's rosy boa snake used to get loose in the house all the time. love Grandma G
