Look Mom....I'm Clapping!!

Griffin has really gotten the hang of clapping the last few days....

its like ALL he does!

I decided to take a video of him tonight while we were eating dinner because he kept doing it & he looks so happy while he does it too!! Pretty darn cute if you ask me!! 

fyi: please pay no attention to my annoying voice...
just a little high pitch :)

Just Some Fun Pics...

These are just some pics I took of the boys on Mother's Day that I thought turned out pretty cute!! I edited them on picnik & used the "cross process" effect to give them a little bit different look! I think I kinda like it!!We had a great day mother's day at home with family! The boys played in the yard & we grilled out for dinner! It was perfect evening!

Getting grumpy in this one...

Parker took advantage of the warm weather & played in the sprinkler...

He had a ball & it wore him out!!

He definitely slept well that night!!

Hope you all had a wonderful mother's day weekend with your families!!

Griffin is 8 Months & A Day at the Park...

My little stinker turned 8 months old on April 19th...

Boyfriend is on the move!!!

Not only is he crawling everywhere, but he is also pulling up on anything & everything he can find!!

Which means we had to lower the matress in the crib so that he can't launch himself over the rail!!!

SCARY!!!

Let's hope that solves the problem!!

Some other Griffin stats...

He still just has the two teeth on bottom.

He is wearing 9 month clothing.

He started say da-da this past Monday.

And today I am pretty sure I heard him say bub-bub (parker).

He sleeps through the night (most nights).

He is eating fruits & veggies twice a day.

Drinking about 26-30 oz of formula a day.

He LOVES puffs & McDonalds french fries :)

(don't worry I only let him eat a couple!)

And for the most part...he is a pretty happy little boy!!

Today we had a play day at the park & of course

I brought my camera! Griffin is really easy to photograph

 because he pretty much stays put.... 

This was his first experience on the swings...I think they were a hit!!

That growling noise is new too, but don't worry...

it means he's HAPPY!

Parker on the other hand is way too busy playing

 to have his picture taken!!

I did, however, manage to snap a few...

This one arm behind the head thing is beyond me...

I think this is his super model pose!! Strutting his

stuff on the catwalk!

LOL!

And getting a good pic of both of the two of them together....

You might as well forget it...

See what I mean?!?

LOL!!!

Happy Easter!!

Hope you all had a fantastic Easter!! We had a wonderful day!!

The Easter Bunny brought the kids their baskets full of all kinds of goodies...

These bunny glasses...MY FAVORITE!!

We had all kinds of fun with these & they made for great pics!!

After Easter basket fun, we all got ready & headed off to church! I was hoping to get pics of the boys before church in their Easter outfits, but since we can't seem to get a break from the rain...that was out of the question!!

 After a powerful message at church & awesome worship, we headed to my Grandma Elsie's for dinner & had a special visit from the Easter Bunny!!

Love this pic!! Griffin is checking him out & Parker is

giving him "the eye" LOL!

Big Thanks to the Easter Bunny for making our Easter

extra special!!

And giving mommy the photo op she had been waiting for all day! :)

You would have thought it was Christmas instead of Easter when it came time to open Easter presents from all of the Grandma's and Aunt & Uncles....

SERIOUSLY....

It was insane the amount of gifts they got!!!

One thing is for sure...my kids aren't lacking in the LOVE department!! They are so blessed to have so many people who love & care for them!!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and took time to reflect on what Easter is all about!!

Thank you Jesus for washing away our sins & giving us

the gift of eternal life!!

Just a Day in the Sun...

Spent some time out in the yard this afternoon soaking up some sun & capturing the smiles of some pretty cute kids...

(if I do say so myself!)

These two are best buds...

If Griffin is screaming...Parker can almost always calm him down & make him smile!

Bubba is his best friend....and I just love that!! :)

And Parker couldn't be happier that mowing season is back in full effect...

Seriously, when we brought the tractor home from the storage unit..

It was like Christmas morning all over again!!

When this kid is on the lawnmower...he is in his glory!

Hope you all got out & enjoyed the beautiful weather we were having today!!
