The Zabel's

We are really fond of the Zabel family. Taylor and Mike Zabel worked together 4 1/2 years ago prior to Taylor and I going on our first date. Mike is one of the many people we thank for Taylor and I going through with the first date. Taylor tells the story best, but the gist of it is that he was hesitant to go on a date with me due to the fact that I worked with his Dad. Mike (who we call Zabel) encouraged Taylor to meet me, and just see what happened. Taylor listened to Zabel, and here we are today, happily married!

The first summer that we were together, we spent the 4th of July with the Zabel's. The love they share as a family is so evident. Whenever we're with them we have so much fun, so much so that this last time we hung out, my face hurt the next day from laughing/smiling SO much.

I've been meaning to share some of our crazy pictures from the last time we hung out with them, just hadn't got around to it til now.

Asked a stranger to take our picture

No one knew that my elbow knocked over my full drink glass, so everyone kept posing for the photo

Had to take the drink for the photo, but the drink that was in the empty drink glass in front of me, was dripping over everything! Sorry Jenny! Hope I didn't ruin your phone!

Awe Jenny, you're making me blush

We'll try this one more time

Buds





Taylor started making this crazy face randomly...we didn't know what was wrong with him. Of course we were all cracking up, but I started to feel bad for Jenny...

Poor Jenny. But then, I stopped feeling bad for Jenny....

Every time I look at these I can't help but crack up! My husband rubbed off on Jenny and so Mike and I wanted to be like the "cool kids" and try it too....Sorry, we weren't nearly as good!

Not even close! I do not have big luscious lips like the others! Mike did a pretty good job at the one eye effect Taylor had going on. Haha!

We should stick with smiling instead of goofy faces...we're not very good. Okay, I'M not very good.

Thanks Jenny and Mike for being so much fun! We can't wait to do it again!!
