Samuel Affleck

Jennifer Garner was out and about with her daughter Seraphina in LA yesterday and today she emerged with Samuel on her hip. While Jennifer was busy with the kids, it was revealed that Ben Affleck will be awarded a new title. Ben will receive the guy of the year award at Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards on June 8. He'll be honored among other stars like Jimmy Kimmel, Vince Vaughn, and Emilia Clarke.

While Ben is busy getting recognized for his past work, Jen is taking on new projects. She's headed to Ohio next week to begin filming Draft Day. Jen is also reportedly in talks to join Steve Carell in Disney's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, which will be a live-action film adaptation of the children's book.

Jennifer Garner had a smile on her face and Samuel on her hip when she stepped out in LA today. Samuel was sporting printed pajamas while Jennifer dressed up in a colorblocked blouse. The week is coming to an exciting end for Jennifer and her family with lots of projects in the works for both her and Ben Affleck. Jennifer is reportedly in talks to star in the film adaptation of the children's book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day while it was announced that Ben will be honored by Brown University next month. Before he takes home an honorary degree on May 26, he'll take the stage to host Saturday Night Live's May 18 episode.

Jennifer Garner turns 41 today, and in celebration, we're taking a look at her sweetest family snaps. Jennifer has had a busy 2013 with her husband Ben Affleck's huge award season sweep, but the dedicated mom is a professional at balancing red carpet appearances and brunches with her little ones. The Garner-Afflecks became a group of five about a year ago with the addition of their first son, Samuel, who joined proud big sisters Violet and Seraphina — all of whom are sure to make mom's day special. Happy birthday to Jennifer — click through to see her adorable family!

Jennifer Garner joined her three kids, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, for an outing in Santa Monica yesterday. Jen's youngest, Sam, stole the show — and his mom's drink — hitting the pavement to display his walking skills. Jen returned to her kids following a reported weekend getaway to St. Lucia for a special star-studded occasion. Jen apparently joined her husband, Ben Affleck, to attended Matt Damon and Luciana Damon's wedding vow renewal along with Chris Hemsworth and wife Elsa Pataky, as well as Ben's brother, Casey Affleck.

Jen may be gearing up to spend more time away from her little ones with rumored new projects in the works. She is in talks to star in the upcoming film Draft Day alongside Kevin Costner, and Ben recently revealed that he would be taking over parenting duties to allow her to get back to work.

Seraphina Affleck got a chance to hop on a pony during an LA farmers market outing with mom Jennifer Garner and sister Violet. Jennifer took the kids to their local market after the family, including Samuel, visited a hardware store in Pacific Palisades on Saturday to pick up gardening supplies. She has had a busy weekend with her kids, kicking off with a Friday karate class excursion with Violet and Seraphina. Her family time comes just as news has surfaced that Jennifer Garner may costar with Kevin Costner in a new football film. The new job opportunity would be Jen's second for this year as she wrapped up filming Dallas Buyers Club with Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto in January.

Jennifer Garner picked up her daughters, Violet and Seraphina, from karate class in LA on Friday, and on Saturday, they brought Samuel along for brunch. It was a busy week for Jennifer, who prepared baked goods for Violet's class, grabbed brunch with Samuel, and met up with girlfriends for a dinner date. The weekends are usually all about family time for the Garner-Afflecks, and this one is extra special since it's Easter. It'll be Samuel's second time participating in the bunny-themed holiday, though he was just a month old for last year's festivities. The celebrations will continue next month as well, when Jennifer marks her 41st birthday on April 17.

Jennifer Garner grabbed breakfast in LA today, juggling her son, Samuel, and a coffee in her arms. She wore workout pants under her army-green trench coat for the outing, while Samuel sported adorable baby UGGs. Jennifer's little boy munched on a snack while the duo headed back to their car.

Jennifer got one-on-one time with Samuel after stepping out with a tray of baked goods for Violet's classmates yesterday. She's back to her weekly routine after a weekend full of family outings, which included a PDA moment with Ben Affleck during a Saturday food-stand stop. Ben's been lying low since wrapping up his successful award season, but he did take to Twitter this week to share his view on marriage equality, replying "I agree" to a retweet of President Obama's message on same-sex marriage.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck made a stop at the Brentwood farmers market yesterday in LA. They were accompanied by son Samuel and daughter Violet on the shopping trip. The family fun comes after the couple's PDA-filled outing with Violet and Seraphina on Saturday. Although Seraphina missed out on the trip to the farmers market, she had both of her parents to herself for a Starbucks stop on Friday. Sera also drew attention for her new bob haircut, which she debuted during a breakfast date with Ben last week.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck spent St. Patrick's Day with their little ones at a park in LA. While Jennifer, Seraphina, Samuel, and Violet got in the Irish spirit with green outfits — Violet even dyed her hair chartreuse — Ben opted to skip a shamrock style at the playground. During a grocery run earlier in the day, Samuel sported a Boston Red Sox hat, possibly to match dad Ben, who is an avid Red Sox fan. The cap also protected him from the sun, which is fitting since Jen opened up about how she is protecting her kids' skin from harmful rays at Neutrogena's Sun Summit last week. She said, "We talk about skin health, and they know why they have to wear sunscreen. If someone forgets, they'll say 'Hey, did you forget to put sunscreen on me?'"

Before she got into an emerald mood, Jennifer spent her Saturday running errands with Ben in Brentwood. The two held hands when they grabbed lunch at Sugarfish and then popped into a few stores to do a bit of shopping. The Garner-Afflecks weren't the only stars who donned green during the holiday weekend — check out these celebrities who celebrated St. Patrick's Day.

Jennifer Garner stepped out in LA's Brentwood neighborhood with Samuel Affleck in her arms yesterday, then set him down so he could walk! Adorable 1-year-old Sam walked around all by himself, holding Jennifer's hand for security. Jennifer then finished her purchase and scooped Sam back up on their way out.

Earlier this week, Jennifer was holding hands with Seraphina, her middle child, on a trip to their regular breakfast stop. Busy mom Jennifer also took Violet to a birthday party over the weekend, continuing the celebrations after Ben Affleck's best picture Oscar win for Argo.
