Griffin's Blessing

We blessed Griffin on Sunday and it was a beautiful day. We are so grateful Griffin joined our family. He has been such a blessing and we love him so much. He is such a great little baby, with the happiest disposition. Isn't he just adorable in his little overalls?

We want to thank all of our family and friends for being apart of this day. Also, as special thanks to Bob, Engor, Izeck, Hanna, Kallie & Macie - we are so glad your family drove all the way down here to join us. We loved being able to spend time with you all.

After sacrament meeting, we headed to my parents (who by the way, are the best parents anyone could ask for!) for a little dinner. I love having family dinner on Sunday's, it is the one day where we can all be together as a family. Thank you to all my family for spending this day with us. We enjoyed being with you and love you all.....and as Dad would say, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU ALL LOVE ME!!!

Built Ford Tough!

FORD... GENUINE PARTS

Is this not adorable? I can hardly believe that Griffin will be two months old in a week. He has grown so much all ready. I love this little outfit and thought all my Ford buddies would appreciate it! Jared and his sweet wife Jamie at Dealer Collision Center gave this outfit to Griffin when he was born. I couldn't wait for him to fit in it, now I don't want him to outgrow it! Thanks for the great gift Jared & Jamie!

Griffin is smiling and laughing now...I just couldn't get him to cooperate when I was taking his picture. Little stinker!

Jumpin' Jacks!!!

Okay, so we decided to take the kids to Jumpin' Jacks for the day. If you have never been to this place, you gotta go. It is not just for kids, adults love it too!

Check out this slide......

Step 1 - Climb up this steep inflatable slide, that is missing several steps with Scotlyn tucked under your arm, pushing Charlee up (again, because steps are missing), and trying to keep your own balance so you don't fall backwards onto several small children trailing behind you. Oh yeah, and all the while your lungs are burning because you had a baby a few weeks ago and your totally out of shape! (The last part mostly applies to me and Tammie...!)

Step 2 - Send Charlee down with Scotlyn. Is that truly safe? Mmmmm, I guess we get the "Mother's of the Year Award"
Step 3 - Go down the big huge slide - heck you earned it after climbing up the thing!
Griffin and Jackson were cute little boys. They sat at the bottom of the slide and watched everyone play. Two little cuties, see what you have to look forward to when you get older!


Cooper is having such a great time...see all the sweat. I am telling you, you get a great workout in this place. Remember to bring the hand sanitizer though! All these sweaty people....?

Charlee is a pro at sliding down this slide. She left this time with only two burns on her arms and one under nose. There were some bullies, oops, I mean little boys and they stepped on Charlee's hand. She came down the slide and said "Mom, there is a mean DUDE up there. He stepped on my hand and didn't even say he was sorry. Rude huh?" I told her "Go tell him if he steps on you again and doesn't say he is sorry, your mama is gonna come sit on him." She looked at me kinda funny and took off to tell this little kid to watch out!

Scoti got a little thirsty...climbing up that slide parched the little one. The answer? Give the kid some Pepsi.

Tammie, April and I decided we needed to take a break and sit at the bottom of the slide and watch the kids go down.
We had a fun day together. Thanks girls for the fun day out!

The Roles Reversed!


Cooper & Charlee some how managed to fall asleep, in the car, at the same time! On the other hand.....

Griffin decided not to sleep and to scream instead.
Cooper & Charlee are usually wide awake in the car. They can be found playing or fighting with one another. Griffen is generally asleep. I guess they decided to change things up a bit!
I am not sure which one I prefer though. A sleeping baby and fighting kids, or a screaming baby and sleeping kids?
