Parker Cracking Griffin Up!

Parker & Griffin have turned into be pretty good playmates! Griffin adores his big brother & wants to be wherever he is & do whatever he's doing! I love watching them play together! Last week I took this video of them playing & Parker just happened to be cracking Griffin up!

If this doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will!

Enjoy!

Griffin is 11 months!!

Another month....another photoshoot!

And this one might be my favorite yet!!
( I know I say that everytime)

So my little stinker is 11 months old & will be turning the big ONE in just a month!! I can't believe it!
Parker spent the day at his Grandma Claudy's today, so Griffin & I went out for some pictures before it got too hot out!! We made a few stops around town & then ended our shoot at the park.

Hope you enjoy the photos!!


























I don't know which is my favorite...I kinda like them all!!

p.s. He started taking his first few steps on July 4th weekend, but just in the last few days has finally about mastered the walking thing! I will post a video soon!!

Parker's 4th Birthday

So I am waaaay behind on blog posts!!

Just now getting around to posting pics from Parker's Birthday parties!

We decided to have two seperate parties this year given the fact that we don't have a ton of space for entertaining. The first party was on Parker's actual birthday. We just had family over for a cook-out & had cake & ice cream. Parker actually started running 102 fever the afternoon before the party, so that is why he looks a little less than enthused in the pic below...

 You can tell just by looking at his eyes that he didn't feel good...

But, he did perk up a bit when he found this in the backyard!
 We decided to get him a bicycle this year! He had been eyeing this Spiderman bike at Walmart for a while now. His Great Grandma Doris got him the matching Spiderman helmet & bell for his new ride...

He had it figured it out in no time!

I actually had a video of him riding it, but for whatever reason I can't get it to upload to this here blog...frustrating!!

Ahem...Moving on...
On the Saturday after his actual birthday, we had a party with all of his friends from church...
I decided to do cupcakes for this party instead of getting another big cake...



I found some Spiderman confetti at Party City and made some cute little cupcake toppers with toothpicks...


I also used the confetti to make little tags for the goody bags...

My once calm & inviting breakfast nook was all Spidied out for this event...





We borrowed a family member's inflatable waterslide for the kids to play on to keep cool...



And just for fun, I also found some Spiderman tatoos at Party City for the boys' goody bags! I thought it would make for a cute pic...


I was trying to get them all to flex their muscles & give me their best "tough guy" face, but they were too busy laughing...



Here's a close-up of Parker's tatoo...

Parker Rose, Brandon, & Parker Diehl all flexing their Spidey muscles...


Love this one....too cute!
All in all I would say his 4th Birthday was a success!

Still can't believe he's 4!!

Griffin is 10 Months Old!!

Time is just flying by & as much as I just finished one birthday celebration (more pics of that to come), it won't be long & I will be celebrating another!! Griffin turned 10 months this past Sunday & is quickly approaching the 1 year mark!! Guess I better start thinking about his birthday party, huh?!

We were at his grandparents house just a week or so ago  to swim and I snapped some cute pics of him while he was taking a break from the pool! Enjoy!!













Love that sweet face!!
