Griffin's 3rd Birthday Party-Tractor Ride!

Thank you to our family and friends who joined us at Linvilla Orchards for a tractor hayride.  Farmer Fred made the ride very special and Griffin loved every minute of it.  

The animals were all out to say Happy Birthday to Griffin and we had lots of fun feeding them corn. This cow just inhaled a whole ear of corn. 

Balloons, tractors, cake...family & friends...it was the perfect day for our little three year old.  The cake was awesome and had it's own little tractor which we took home and is now a favorite toy.

Addison is 1!

It was a year ago today that we welcomed the sweetest little girl into our family.  Happy Birthday Addison! Mommy, Daddy and Griffin love you more than you will ever know.

Our little teletubbie

So far a bow to the side or a spike on top is the best way to handle Addy's comb-cover. But she is starting to get hair in the back that has a little bit of curl to it.

Griffin's First Taste of Candy Corn

Maine-4th of July 2012

A week in Maine with the Grovers was heaven! We spent this year's 4th of July week doing so many fun things that the pictures really can't do the week justice.  We shared their cabin so we had 3 kids and 4 adults in 3 bedrooms and it was actually great.  Most days we got the kids to nap all at the same time and after bedtime we sat around the campfire enjoying the evening.  

Memorial Day 2012 at Papa's House

We had some fun in the sun at Papa's House! Addy went swimming for the first time and Griffin really enjoyed the water.  Or at least he liked picking his squirt animals out of the filter and throwing them back in the pool.  

Griffin hit the range with Papa! I think we'll let Nick and Amanda be the golfers in the family for now since he almost took out Papa's legs.  But Griffin did love riding the tractor at the golf course.   

Griffin got a very special treat...a chocolate dump truck!

Bowling!

Yes, we went bowling! It was hilarious.  We have actually done it a couple times since then and he is starting the get the concept. Can you believe they make bowling shoes his size?

Mothers Day 2012

We spent a glorious day at Smith Park in the city!  

Addison continues to love the swings! 

Weeee!!! So much fun together.   

 Not sure who had more fun on the enormous slide!  It is faster than you think.

Mommy loved it too!

 I am a lucky mom of two wonderful kids!

How I Get Things Done with 2 Kids

Easter 2012

Our first Easter with 2 kids was great fun! The Easter Bunny brought Griffin a garbage truck and he was thrilled! We had a great brunch at Oma's house with an Easter egg hunt. Griffin discovered jelly beans and promptly ate them out of each bean.  Although he calls them magic beans after we planted them in the yard the night before Easter and lollipops grew!

And, I have to say, I think the kids looked rather adorable!
