Griffin is a growin' boy!!!

Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do!! Life keeps our family very busy these days! Griffin is crawling and is into everything these days! At 8 1/2 months old, I just don't know where all of the time has gone!! He just started saying "Momma" which I of course love! You can't help but want to squeeze him when he looks up at you with his big toothy grin and says "Momma"!!! Love it!!!!

Our little guy loves music!! He just learned to dance from his little friend Caroline, and will clap when the music is playing! So cute!!!

He is such a friendly little man! He "talks" to everyone, loves to play, and is definitely a flirt!!!

Ellis Family goes to Tx!

My cousin Tiffany got married this past weekend in San Antonio so Griffin and I decided to spend an extra week in Texas and Quentin met us down there a few days later. It was a great trip! We spent lots of time with all of my friends, went on a few shopping trips and of course spent a fare share of our time at the pool!

We have a little fish on our hands! Griffin LOVES the water and LOVES to swim! He would dunk his head under water, blow bubbles, splash, and as soon as his legs hit the water, he would kick kick kick!

Here is Griffin with his little friend Rylee, which is my friend Haley's little girl! They were instant buddies! This is the best picture we got of them :)
Here is my brother with the Groom, Don!
Brad and I with the beautiful bride, Tiffany!
The brides new last name is Schmidt, so luckily there were just enough bridesmaids to spell it out!

Wedding Bells!

Quentin's sister Bryn made a beautiful Bride on June 5th! She had her wedding at their parents home, it was a gorgeous setting and the wedding couldn't have been any better!

Griffin had so much fun he just wore himself out!

Family shot of us 3! Griffin had to dress the part also in his tuxedo!

Congratulations Bryn and Ryan!

Lions and tigers and kangaroos...oh my!

Quentin's company picnic was at Tanganyika Wildlife Park last weekend and we had the best time!!! Griffin LOVED all of the animals and especially loved touching/petting them all!!!

Here is Griffin petting the Kangaroo! Since we are at the stage where he wants to grab everything...he thought it would also be fun to grab a chunk of the kangaroo's fur!
"Mom, let me go, I want to play with the kangaroo!!!"
Griffin was so cute petting all of the goats! It was so fun to see how excited he was to "pet" all of the animals!!
He was all for the pig until it go a little too close!
Next trip.....Camel rides!!!

Easter Bunny!

Griffin is so excited for his first Easter! He just couldn't wait to take pictures with the Easter bunny!

Our little man is growing up so fast. Here are some of my new favorites!

Our little man in his new Spring outfit! What a handsome little man!

Love this cheeky little smile! He is showing off his little chompers!
I walked in on our little man sleeping with his hands on his cute little face... priceless!
Since Easter is almost here, Griffin was enjoying his new bunny ears! His Daddy is very proud...ha!
Our little angel sleeping on Daddy!
We were really enjoying eating carrots the other day....Griffin loves eating his hands at the same time as his carrots and then touching EVERYTHING!!!
Our little man....isn't he just the cutest thing you have every seen! Of course we are a little partial!!!

Crested Butte

Quentin and I are lucky enough to have great friends that invite us up to Crested Butte each year! 3 couples and kids made the trip up this year! We had a great time.... a girls night out, snowboarding, fun dinners out (left the kids with the nanny) and just some fun friend time! Griffin was especially excited for this first trip to Colorado!

Quentin and Griffin at the base of the slopes... Griffin fell asleep in his Daddy's little carrier... her is on the verge of sleeping here!

Chris and Kasey and their little man Charlie... Griffin's new best buddy!

Bradley, Liane and their kiddos Logan and Parker!

Logan loves babies and was loving every minute of reading to the babies!

Charlie and Griffin! They were so fun on this trip!! Q and I loved having our little guy with us.... after spending the week with Charlie (he is 8 months old) Griffin picked up all kinds of new sounds to make!!
