Griffin LOVES to be outside

Griffin loves to be outside! The other night we went for a walk down the street. He was having so much fun pushing his truck down the street. He is super fast.

Griffin loves to be outside so much all we have to say is the word "outside" and he starts getting excited. He will look for his shoes, walk to the hall closet to get his coat and then once he is all bundled up he stands by the door hitting it and squeeling to be let outside!

He has a hard time coming in, but calms down after a few minutes.


Griffin got a little tired so I had to push him down the street a little ways. Don't worry it didn't last long.

So as of today our house is up on the market. We have been so busy packing, decluttering, and staging our house. This isn't the greatest picture but this is how I set our dining room table. Kind of fun! I wish it looked like this all the time.

I know I need to iron the table runner, but I had to set it up first to see if I would even like it.






Just a close up of the set. The chargers are a deep burgandy~ Forgot to take a picture of the wonderful faux wall that Joe did. Will do that next time!

Wish us luck with our house on the market.

I really hope I can keep the house clean enough for showings.

We have one more weekend until the first official showing so I've got to get busy with the deep cleaning!

Sunday Nature Walk & Some Miscellaneous Musings

Sunday we all went for a very nice early spring walk. We took some pictures with our new camera and a fabulous time with each other!

Griffin rode in his back pack and enjoyed seeing all the dogs in the park. We even came across this owl!


With our new camera we were able to take a fun video of Griffin!




Griffin is walking all over and he has a really cute laugh which we captured here:


The sad news is our new camera didn't work with the computer so it went back to Costco. I love the pictures it took and all the features but it was too frustrating. We haven't decided if we will be updating our digital camera just yet, we are thinking maybe a video camera would be fun! We will see.

We also were able to capture the owl in flight. Kind of fun!



Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Heart Day

Happy Valentine's Day. Joe found some really cute clothes for Griffin last night at Old Navy. He looks like he is ready to go to work!

Griffin is really busy. He is walking everywhere and doing quite well. He loves Joe and wants to be with him all the time. He also really likes dogs and cats. He knows how to bark like a dog! He also has a new cute smile that we have yet to capture on camera.

Anyways just a quick update.

Finally we got enough snow to go sledding. Joe took Griffin out for his first ride. Griffin was bundled up so tight I am not sure how much he really enjoyed it.

Idaho Falls trip

Recently, we traveled to Idaho Falls so Joe could hit a powder day at Jackson hole. On the way down we had to go through Island Park which had a ton-o-snow. Joe was in heaven. We all wanted to snatch a snowmobile that was parked out front and ride away through the nice fluffy snow.

LJ's favorite place to stop on the way to Idaho Falls is the Island Park Subway. He love to order the feast made with tons of extra banana peppers. All he talked about the whole was down was how he had to stop at the Island Park Subway to get his feast. So of course we had to take pictures.



On the way home from our weekend get away we spotted this very strange ice sculpture just outside of Ennis. We don't know what it is but thought it would be fun to share. We were going to take a picture of it on the way down, however we were driving through white out conditions and who wants to see a picture of just blowing snow?

Updates

We can hardly believe he is 1. He is looking more like a toddler every day.

For Griffin's birthday we went and got our family pictures taken at Sears. We only went to the Sears portrait studio b/c we had a gift certificate from a friend we needed to use by the 16th of December. This was not a good experience for any of us-




For Thanksgiving everyone we all meet at Heather and Nate's house. Here is a picture of us racing scooters at Nate's work.

Joe really wished we would have gone to Nate's work on the first day because he had so much fun riding the scooter!








LJ made the discovery of ear candles at the local natural foods market. So Joe, LJ, and I have been busy burning our ears. It is a lot of fun and afterwards your ear feels so much better.

Currently, we are busy getting ready for Christmas. All the Christmas shopping is done I just need to wrap and deliver gifts. I also need to finish making a couple.

We got most of our Christmas cards in the mail this week so they will most likely get to you after Christmas, but we were waiting for our family pictures so we could send everyone out an updated one. Hopefully ya'll will enjoy.

We wish you all Merry Christmas!

WOW 11 months old

Griffin turned 11 months old on Sunday! Oh my goodness where has the time gone- Griffin also got a new tractor from Grandpa and he loves playing with it. Griffin loves anything with wheels and I mean anything!




And just in case you are wondering what Griffin likes to do for fun-he loves the dishwasher. He loves to pull out the bottom rack and then push it along the floor. Guess why???? It has wheels!

Halloween Pictures

Halloween was fun- Griffin was an alligator and in our opinion the cutest alligator around town and perhaps the most friendly.

We went trunk or treating with Grandpa and then we headed over to Ironwood and hung out with the Dan Wells family. Griffin loved all the kids coming over.
