Happy Birthday Griffin!

Here's a little video of photos I put together of Griffin. I hope that these pics give you a glimpse of Griffin's spunky personality. Griffin makes his presence known, that is for sure!! He keeps us laughing and keeps us on our toes. We love you Griffin!!!!!

We did a little bit of everything....

We posed for pics

We ate cupcakes

We sang Happy Birthday

We swam

We drove cars on Wren's head

We ate

Played inside

Jumped on the trampoline

{my little engineer}

i'm not sure that my pics do these creations justice. collins keeps most of his legos in a cabinet away from griffin....griffin loves "dedos". Most of the time you will walk into my kitchen and something like these photos on my kitchen counter. i am thinking he might just be an engineer one day!

Last night, Mary Blake sat between Brad and me, put each arm around us, and said,
"I've got my peeps!"

Happy Father's Day....

Basketball Camp

This week Collins went to basketball camp at the middle school.  He was one tired boy at the end of the week.  Coach Adam was there helping (which made mama feel better - 93 boys is a lot!).

Collins, Adam, Gray

SUMMER means....

....popsicles, sprinklers on the trampoline, meals on the front porch, catching lightin bugs in pjs, skipping showers because we swam, keeping Griffin out of Collins' legos, MB's first camp-out, and Collins going to Basketball camp. AND it has only been 2 weeks!

mmmm these are good

wanna a bite of mine?

wonder if she will give me a bite of hers?

now that's what I'm talking about!

Happy 6 Months Wren!

This baby is just sweet. Laid back, go with the flow, and happy....He does get upset when his toys won't cooperate, or if he is tired. Otherwise, he is all smiles!  Last week he endured playing "baby doll" with Mary Blake, Hannah, and Raychel.  All was well until they put him in the baby bed - then I came to rescue him.  Griffin has even decided he loves his "wen wen"...he recently gave (crammed in his mouth) his passy to wren along with his puppy, then looked up at me and said, "now!" Wren might have a train or two rolling over his head or tummy (by Griff) and just smiles. He is a good sport about it.  I love wondering what is going to be like when he and griff are on more equal footing. Things should get interesting around here!

Here are a few things Wren has been up to:  He has two teeth,  He just started cereal and LOVES it, he loves sitting up like a big boy in the high chair, and he is still sleeping through the night!
