No Cake Here!

On Griffin's official birthday we had a take-out by request from Olive Garden and Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches! They were yummy and great to put a candle in. We always try to be creative since Griffin can't have eggs. Ice Cream cakes can be tricky with other allergens hiding. We had a nice quiet night. I still can't believe we have a 5 year old!

Pumpkin Picking School Trip

Today was a great day for picking pumpkins and hayrides. It was a bit too warm for my like 78 degrees, I like picking pumpkins while wearing a sweater, not shorts! Griffin has been having some asthma issues and up in the night a lot, but he wanted to go. So we had a great hayride which the boys enjoyed and then picked pumpkins. Good times, and nice memories with my boys!

Griffin at Gymnastics

After our dabble in Taekwondo this summer Griffin said he wanted to try Gymnastics. So he goes every week with his school which is great and he really enjoys it! His favorite thing to do is trampoline, and since the summer we have seen much improvement!

Griffin's 5 Year Old Birthday Party!

Good Times were had by all for Griffin's 5th Birthday Party! We had 16 children at Swingset Planet and everyone had a great time! Other than my nephew getting a concussion and many band-aids being put on...it was a good time? When we left Griffin had no idea his cousin was taken to the hospital! I loved seeing Griffin with all of his friends, what a nice group of children! I LOVE this age! Ian is doing much better and Griffin is eagerly waiting his "real birthday" on the 16th!

"Big Bed"

This is a post I should have done a while back. Kevin moved to a "big bed" in August and he loved doing it. I just thought I would post some pics so everyone could see how excited he was! Any visitor we had he had to take them to the "big bed". He is a very proud and happy little boy about this milestone...he loves being "yike Doddin" (like Griffin).

S'mores...

We had a great night last week celebrating our nephew Ian's birthday. I can't believe he is 8! He was the one who was 3 months old at our wedding! My brother Chris and his girlfriend Christine were here for the weekend and we had a great time! We had a great time making s'mores in the backyard...Some cute pics I wanted to post.

First Day of Pre-K

Do you love the look I am getting in this picture? Griffin is in school 4 full days this year..and he loves it! After one day he moved to Kindergarten math! This little boy of mine loves to learn, we are so blessed! He comes home full of stories and dirt! Love little boys!
