Go State!

Q and I went up to K-State to watch the KSU vs. OSU game. We met up with a bunch of friends for a pregame tailgate, and had such a fun time!

Here is a family shot of us before the game...and yes, that is me wearing a K State shirt...Q picked it out for me a while back so that I would wear this one instead of the purple Texas Tech shirt I usually insist on wearing!

G was ready to play football with the big boys as soon as we got there! They thought he was so cute... the younger boys were so sweet letting Griffin throw their football...the older boys thought it was fun that they could get him to do anything with a little food...I even caught one of the boys petting him...hilarious!!!

Cute shot of my cute boys!
Family shot at the game!
WOW! Our lives are no longer the same...this is what our seats looked like for much of the first half! So funny, the kids all sat with us and colored...I have some pretty great artwork to prove it!
Our little running back!
Touchdown!!!
He was OUT! G didn't get a morning nap, and as soon as he got in his stroller, he was fast asleep...we wanted to get him in some pjs and a new diaper before beginning the trek home. He didn't even budge while getting changed. (by the way....doesn't he look sooo big...still can't believe how big my baby is)
Our little wildcat on the ride home!

Nana and Griffin

Thought this picture was too cute not to upload! My Mom and Griffin are crazy about each other...and it definitely shows in this picture!

Thank you Nana for coming to visit for my birthday, for the cute outfits and birthday money....I will tell mommy and daddy that I want a playscape or something fun to spend it on!!! Love, Griffin!

Bridal show!

Yesterday was my bridal show!! It was such a fun day, but I am also relieved that it is over and that it was a huge success!! Hard to believe that this was already my 10th show!!! I am lucky enough to work with a group of wonderful people/businesses that make the shows so fun!

Bryn worked the Margarita guys booth and Kathy stopped by with Griffin so that we I could show him off ;) So, we thought that the photobooth was calling our name!!! (notice that the only picture Griffin is smiling in is the one where he is upside down...such a silly boy!)

I have such an awesome husband!!! He helped me so much at the show!!! I am still am not sure I can afford him!!! ;)

Show in progress!
One of the great booths at the show!
We have such a fun group of DJs work the show! They have a fun time dancing with our models!
Old Town Ballroom's performance!
Griffin will thank me for this one day!
Another great booth!

Such a great day!!! Great show!!! Wonderful vendors, beautiful models, happy brides, a sweet husband, and of course a fabulous mother in law for watching Griffin!!!! Thanks to everyone who participated in such a fun day at the bridal show!

Friends tie the knot!

Q and I went to our friends Chris and Kasey's wedding this past Friday, it was such a neat wedding with lots of fun, personal touches!

Here is Q and I in the photobooth...you can obviously see which one of us was excited to take these pictures....Ha!

I couldn't help but post their program...the cutest idea ever! They had their little neice draw the program!

Sorry I don't have more pictures, forgot the camera at home!

Pumpkin pic!

Griffin and I went to Camera Angles a couple of weeks ago and had this picture taken in their cute set! I just love it! The photographer must have too, she told me he was the best of the day after our photo session! And...Griffin loves to get all dressed up! They always have the cutest sets, and it only takes about 5 minutes!

12 month update!!!

HOLY COW!! How did this happen, where did this year go! I have such mixed emotions.... so happy and proud of my little man that is growing up so quickly, he is more than I could have ever dreamed of in a child... but also a little sad that the time just flew by and he is no longer my newborn baby...he is now a toddler, in every form of the word! But mostly....I just never realized that it is possible to love someone so much!!!

Well, enough of that, here is what our little man is doing...

Climbing everything, on his birthday he decided to climb his birthday presents.... normally it is tables and chairs, stairs and toys.

Blows kisses, waves bye bye, and (does his best) repeats what you say.

Likes to talk on the phone, he makes everything his phone...the lastest is my business card holder... and with his phone, we call Daddy every day at work.

He is doing so good with his baby sign language, he tells us when he is done eating and when he wants more food!

He is a little chatterbox, loves attention, is a little dramatic at times, and loves to flirt with girls!...and he is loud!

Lights up when he does something good with a huge smile and sometimes applause (from us and him)

He is a little fish, he LOVES swim class, loves to splash and swim, and play with his friends!

He is VERY independent! He does not like to be fed...he wants to do it himself!

Likes to throw toys (all of them) down our stairs! He is a little mischievous...ok, a lot mischievous!

We are pretty blessed! Griffin is such an awesome boy....definitely full of energy..nonstop, loves to play, laugh and have fun!

Uncle Brad's Boy!

My brother came down for to visit for Griffin's 1st birthday, we were so excited for him to come down! We don't get to see Uncle Brad as much as we would like since he is at Texas Tech! Griffin was surely Uncle Brad's boy for those few days....he just wanted to be near Uncle Brad, and for Uncle Brad to hold him...he thinks he is pretty cool!

Here we are with my family at Bella Luna for a birthday lunch for Griffin! Brad was the only one that he wanted to hold him...yes, he screamed when we pulled him from Uncle Brad! Too cute!!

Back at home, Griffin quickly crawled up in to Uncle Brad's lap just to hang out....they were just too cute not to get a picture of! Griffin was having the best time! Are they cute or what!!!
Thank you Uncle Brad for coming to visit! We loved seeing you and so did your nephew! Can't wait to see you next month!!!

What a difference a year makes!

I thought this was just too darn cute to pass up! Here is Griffin's Nana holding him the night before his first birthday...and below holding him when we brought him home from the hospital! ...What a difference a year makes!!!

Pumpkin Patch!

Griffin was sooo excited to go to his first pumpkin patch! Here are the pictures...too many to choose from, so I just posted all of my favorites!

Pumpkin PARTY!!!

Birthday week is officially over!!!! Yes... in my house, we have birthday week! Q and I survived our first birthday party! It was so fun! We had some of our closest friends and family come over with their little ones for Griffin's pumpkin party! Griffin loved playing with his friends, opening presents and eating cake! (Sounds like a pretty great life if you ask me!) Here are some of the highlights from the party!:

Mommy and Daddy with the birthday boy!

Mommy and I had so much fun doing my birthday invitations!

Mommy made pumpkin themed goodies for my party! YUMMY!

Am I cute or what! This is so fun!!!

Coloring the chalkboard pumpkins with the first of my friends to arrive.

Playing with miss h!

YUM cake!!! DELICIOUS!!!

Aunt Sandra with Griffin!

I LOVE opening presents!!!

I would rather stand on my presents than open them! I climb up, then clap because I am so proud of myself....then everyone cheers!!! (notice I have a new outfit on..my birthday outfit was destroyed with the cake....but it sure was fun!)
Mommy even helps me open presents!

Go Wildcats! Grandma Phyllis got me this cute sweater!

VROOM VROOM! Riding in my new car that mommy and daddy gave me!
