Father's Day Fun!

We had a busy day - cooking Daddy breakfast, grilling burgers with Aunt Jill, Uncle Jason, and Keaton, and playing a little Wii

(Mommy ROCKS at bowling...).

Keaton and I watched A LOT of Sesame Street...he is my buddy and likes to give me hugs. We are so excited for our trip to Florida!

I am HANDSOME LIKE DADDY :)

YAY - Daddy is the best!

Best Buds....

I wrote Daddy a poem. I am just talented like that!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DADDY! I LOVE YOU!

Beach bum!

Port Aransas - June 11-13

Chillin' on the beach at Port Aransas....

Rolling with the Reeds at the beach....

First time in a pool - check out my float!

I had so much fun and can't wait for my trip to Florida in two weeks!

Proud Pop!

Last week when I went to pick up Griffin from school, I saw a grandpa picking up his little granddaughter. Right away, I was so sad. I know if my dad were here, he would drive over (slowly in his little red truck) from Humble to scoop up G for some fishing, hiking...basically anything outdoors! Sometimes, I wonder what my dad thinks of me and my sister as moms - he never got to see that. I have to say, I think he would be pretty proud. In fact, I know he is overjoyed in Heaven as he looks down upon all FOUR of his awesome grandsons!

Speaking of...we went for a quick trip to Humble and called Gage over to help Hans move some stuff at mom's. Gage came right in and scooped up Griffin who was in awe (as we all are) of this big teenager! Gagey was on the go, but he obliged to take some pics before he left. See...wouldn't Pop be proud??

Gage now drives Pop's little red truck...look who had to check it out!

The G Men - Gage and Griffin....

Cuties!

Proud little sister....

...that's me!

Check out the new blog of my amazingly talented sister...website coming soon!

Recognize any of her precious models??? Love you, Jill. Thank you for capturing all of G's cuteness!

Who knew a paper towel was so funny?

So big (and multi-talented)! :)

The little dude is getting bigger and bigger - 7 months on the 2oth! He currently weighs 20 lbs., and mommy wonders where her arm muscles are?? We are still smiling, still jumping, still sleeping like a rock star, and still loving life :) Oh, and did I mention this little dude now has 5 teeth? Yep, you heard me - 5!

Some of Griffin's accomplishments:

• Sitting up without any assistance.


• Waving "bye-bye"


• Talking up a storm - his fave? Dadadadadada....


• Sticking his tongue out and making a spitting noise (which is REALLY fun mixed with some sweet potatoes...)


• Eating "big boy" foods - any flavor baby food, baby puffs, avocado, steak (dada snuck in a small piece when mommy wasn't looking or she would have stuck her whole hand in his mouth to get it out)


• Watching American Idol and Dancing with the Stars (no, this isn't about his mommy - he really loves Kris Allen (sorry, Mi-Maw) and Shaun Johnson (dada approves).


• Being smothered in kisses all day long (with a face like this, how could you not??)

A Blessed Mother's Day...

Griffin was baptized this past Sunday - Mother's Day. What a beautiful day it was! Griffin is simply the sweetest and only cried when the priest dripped some water in his eye (can you blame him???). Other than that, he smiled the whole day....what can we say? We are blessed....
