Random Summer Pictures


Before bed, Dylan and Cassidy ALWAYS have to play Ring-Aroung-The-Rosie, they are soooo funny!
Cassidy having one of her many temper-tantrums, girls are so dramatic.
Lizzie trying out our swing-set.
I think I have actually used one or two of my tomatoes this year. Either they've been infested with blight, or my son has got to them before me and eaten them like an apple (gross).

1-Year & 3-Year Pictures for Cassidy and Dylan

Last weekend a friend of mine, Katie DeBoer, took pictures of my kids, she did a great job, despite my children's uncooperative attitudes. Although they were not thrilled to have their pictures taken, Katie actually captured some great shots of their "true colors", especially Cassidy's desire to be with me ALL the time, hence multiple pictures of me and Cassidy.

Anyway, take a look at them and enjoy, now I have the task of figuring out which pictures to choose, not the easiest thing for me to do, I always want them all.

Dylan's 3rd Birthday


Last week Monday was Dylan's 3rd Birthday (ok, I am a little behind on posting pictures, especially considering today is Cassidy's 1st B-day), and he requested a caterpillar cake, so that is what he got. He liked my attempt at making a caterpillar cake, good thing he is only 3, if he was 10 he may not have thought that his mom did that great of a job.

Orlando, Florida



We went to Buena Vista Suites in Orlando, FL a week ago with Kelly, Ryan and Lizzie and our own kids, we had a blast. The kids were great and the kids were great. Cassidy did get an ear infection from the pressure change while flying so I did visit the Urgent Care while in FL, but it turned out fine, I just got less sleep than I would have liked to get. After playing in Florida for a week, I am currently wondering why I live in Michigan? I guess I live her because that is where most of my family resides, if I could get them all to move, I would probably leave and live in a warmer climate!! Above are a few of the hundreds of pictures we took while on vacation, enjoy.

9 Months Old

Everyone makes fun of me when I put pony tails or pig tails in her hair, but I love doing her hair and I figure she's not going to let me do it forever, so I better take advantage of it before she can tell me "NO".
My little girl is 9 Months old, where does the time go!?!

Christmas

We tried getting a picture with all of the "Griffen" Grandkids, however, it didn't work to well...they had their own agenda and it wasn't posing for pictures!

Grandpa Griffen playing with Dylan...so much fun!

Grandma Griffen cuddlin with little Cassidy.

Random Pictures of the Kids

Is it okay for me to put "cute" naked pictures of my kids on the blog? I think so, I think naked baby butts are soooo cute.

My little girl, is growing up so fast, today she is 9 months old. She has been crawling for the last month and is on her way to walking, Dylan walked around 11 1/2 months old...I think Cassidy will be walking in the next month and a half. Cassidy desires to do anything her brother doesn't want her to do, she loves to bother him and be his shadow or cousin Lizzie's shadow.


My fire man, he loves to rescue things!
