WHAT!!!

"MOM!!! Did I hear you right? Did you say I'm getting another cousin in May?!?! YIPPEE!"

That's right Griffin, Aunt Lauren and Uncle B are going to have a baby!!! Baby Fisbeck is due May 25th and we couldn't be happier for them!!! We feel so blessed that Griffin will have cousins to grow up with, and we know they will be best buddies!

Fuzzy Wuzzy

FUZZY WUZZY WAS A BEAR
Where did this child get his crazy hair? From his momma of course!!! Griffin's hair stands straight up and the more that grows in, the wilder it gets. We try everything to comb it down for special occasions, but give it ten minutes and the finger is back in the socket!!! We happen to think Griff is going to be a genius because with that hair, he must be related to Einstein!!! It's really pretty stinking cute...spoken like a true momma of course!

Precious Time

We just got back from spending some precious time with my new nephews! It was such a blessing to be able to get to know these two sweet boys, and I got plenty of snuggles. Griffin enjoyed meeting his cousins and loved playing with all their toys! Jason flew in from Japan on Friday, and we had the baptism on Saturday. We are so honored to be Carson's Godparents. Lyndon and Carson weigh just above 9 pounds now, and they are such good babies. They look very similar, but I can definitely tell them apart now. Lyndon looks so much like Leslie's family, and Carson has a little more Conner in him. Carson is the squeaker of the two and Lyndon has a bit of a temper. :) They both love to snuggle and totally stole my heart! They almost had me convinced I was ready for another baby, until my mom and I took the night shift. It was a gentle reminder of how little sleep you get with a newborn! I enjoyed every precious moment with these two, and I miss them already.Lyndon on the left and Carson on the rightJason getting a snuggle from CarsonOur sweet boy at the baptism

I love my cousins! (That's Lyndon)

Missing Daddy

Jason left Saturday morning for a business trip to Japan and we sure are missing him. I can't even imagine being a single mom full time, and I've had good help. Papa J came to babysit Griffin on Sunday so I could get a head start on Christmas shopping. I think the two had a fun time, and how special for Griffin to get some one on one time with his grandpa. Griffin and I are leaving for San Antonio today to meet the twins!!! I can't wait to finally snuggle my precious nephews, Lyndon and Carson and I'm excited for Griff to meet his cousins. Jason will fly in there on Friday and the twins will be baptized on Saturday. We are so honored to be Carson's godparents. I'll post pictures when we get back! We love you and miss you Daddy!

A Trip to the Zoo!

Last Friday when my parents were here we decided to take Griffin to the Houston Zoo! It was a beautiful, chilly morning and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Of course Griffin is a little young to fully appreciate everything there, but he liked looking at the bigger animals (giraffes and elephants) and the trees, birds, trash cans....ect. :) He also liked the goats at the muddy petting zoo. It was wonderful to see Griffin having such a good time with his Mimi and Pops! Hey Mr. Goat...down hereMimi took him on the carouselGot Sophie...Let's go!

Happy Halloween!

Wow! What a fun filled, crazy Halloween weekend it was! We started off Thursday with a Halloween party at the library. Griffin, RJ, and Elijah were all skeletons. They had a great time eating blueberry muffins and looking at all the other kids dressed up. My parents flew in Thursday evening for a visit! We went to the zoo on Friday (more pics to come) and out to eat sushi that night. Saturday was a busy day. The weather was beautiful but much too hot for the dinosaur costume, so Griffin was a skeleton again. We went to a Halloween birthday party for Dylan who was turning two. They did an amazing job decorating and the kids had so much fun. Griff was obsessed with the blow up Dracula and witch and couldn't take his eyes off them. Then we went back to our house to grill out and watch football. We had quite a crew with Mimi, Pop, Gigi, Papa J, Aunt Lauren, Uncle B, Great Aunt Annie, and Aunt Lindsy. We all took Griffin to a few houses to trick or treat. Some of our neighbors have a very scary set up, but Griff loved looking at the red eyes on all the zombies and skeletons! It was the best Halloween and even though I know Griffin won't remember it, we sure will!!! He was one tired baby by the time he finally went to sleep!Ready for the party! I gave Griff a little mow hawk :)The Skeleton Crew...impossible to get a good picture!A ride on Papa J's sholdersLoving the DraculaNot sure about the ghouls...Going Trick or Treating
