Walking

Just as promised-A Video of Griffin walking.

Another video of Griffin walking. This is from behind and it is too adorable not to share.

Repaint Job

Every since we moved in I wanted to make the living room feel more cozy so 4 weeks after Griffin was born I did the same wall treatment that I did to old house. The treatment is where you take two colors and blend them together similar to the sponge or ragging effect. It hides all of the imperfections of the wall. I loved it in our other house but I did it in a rush at this home and it never looked quite like I wanted it to.

So today as stupid as it may seem or was, I took the day off of work to have a day to myself to paint the living room. So I painted and made sure that it would get done today since this was the only day that I was going to take off to do this. (I would never think to take a day off to do such a thing but I have wanted to do it since February but couldn't find the time) I chose one color rather than a combination of colors and I really like it. It turned out better than I thought plus I was proud of myself that I got it done all in one day. The color is called rhubard, it is kinda a combination brown and red. You will have to come see it in person but for those that can't here is a couple of pictures.

I hope you all enjoy my pictures. As silly as it sounds, I really do feel a lot better now that it is done and I do like it a lot better. You will have to tell me your thoughts.

COMING SOON!!

A video of Griffin walking. It is so cute and adorable to watch him start to walk but then I realize he is growing up way too quickly.

Walking

Griffin has taken his first steps last night on his own!!!

Brand New Do

It was time again for Gavin to get his hair cut. His hair was so long that Kara cut an inch off of the bottom. She also said that it is rather thick. I wonder who he gets that from. Gavin was having to look through his hair to see because it was covering his eyes. Poor little man. I was a little worried about how he would do with sitting there because this would be his sixth hair cut and he gets worse everytime. Although this time he did really really well; candy always helps though. No hair cut for Griffin yet. He doesn't have enough hard but it is getting curly in the back just like Gavin's did. So cute.

Clear Bill of Health

Griffin went back for his follow up after his ER visit. Dr. gave him a clear bill of health with lungs sounding great and his ears looked perfectly normal. He even weighs a little bit more. He now is up to 23 lbs. Yeah!!!

El Paso Corn Festival

Yesterday the boys and I went to the Corn Festival over in El Paso. Mama Kathy is originally from there plus most of my cousins are from there as well. We met up with Kelly and Brady Ray. First was the parade with all types of things trucks, tractors, wagons, football players, cars, and other interesting things. The theme was Pirates so it was really neat. Their parades give out a lot more candy than ours ever did as I remember. The boys got a sugar high real quick.

The first picture is of my cousin Kelly, Gavin, Griffin, and her son is in the orange hat, Brady Ray. Next picture is when Gavin and Brady were picking up all of the candy from off of the street. They reallylove that. Gavin was a little scared at first because of the loud noises but he got the hang out it soon after. I went to take a picture in the street and he started to yell at me, "Watch out mommy, You will get run over!" At least he knows he shouldn't be in the street. Next we ate which Gavin and Brady didn't do much of. Gavin got his first experience in a port-a-potty. Gross!! He was really upset that he couldn't flush the toliet and didn't understand why not. I hate those types of potties and use them as a last resort but I was thankful he went without too much of a fight. We let the boys play at a little playground for a while before starting our fun on the rides.

The boys' favorite part were the ride. Brady wanted to go on the merry-go-around but Gavin was more interested in wanting to jump. They both rode the trucks and the slide but their favorite was the jumping ball. The boys really enjoy playing with each other and us Moms loved to get caught up on a little girl time.

Griffin didn't ride any rides but he was pretty happy just hanging out watching the boys play. We all can't wait to get together again for some more fun.

Happy Birthday Anthony!!
