Not this week...

but last was a really busy, but fun week. I hadn't posted pictures yet, so I thought I would do it in one picture-filled post.

Early in the week we met up with Cassie's college girlfriends Colleen and Shannon. We got to meet little Quinn, Colleen's daughter, for the first time and she was SO adorable. Sorry for the picture of the babies. We didn't take a group baby picture until the end of our visit :-)

The next day, Layla and I had lunch with my college girlfriends, Katie and Stephanie. Stephanie asked Katie and I to be bridesmaids (which I am SO excited about!!) in her upcoming wedding to Adam. She asked us with these really cute puzzles. One picture is from now, and the other is from us in college. I was really sporting quite the high ponytail!!

The next day, my mom, sister, the babies and I went to the zoo. We had a fun day, the babies enjoyed their first carousel ride, and Layla tried to jump into the monkey pit so she could pet the monkeys.

Wait, maybe she almost jumped into the monkey pit because Layla actually thinks she is a monkey. She climbs up, down, on everything these days!


On the way home from the zoo, Layla entertained Shea with peek-a-boo. You can see he was doing anything but looking at her :-)

Then, Layla converted from monkey to dog for a couple days.

On Friday, we celebrated Ryan's birthday with our good friends the Rissmans and Hamels.

And then we headed to Ryan's parents on Sunday to celebrate his birthday and his sisters' birthdays (all three have summer birthdays). Here is Ryan with baby Truan.

And here is Ryan's dad, Verlyn, trying hard to get Layla to walk. He did a great job with her, but she is still just standing in place or crawling/scooting around :-)
