The Gap

So the gap has done it again. Stella Mccartney has a new line out for the kiddos. Super cute, expecially having a boy it is sooo hard to find cute clothes!!!

My pumpkin and Halloween

Halloween... totally my favorite holiday, was even funner this year with griggs. We started with picking out his pumpkins, which he loves to work so he was all over it!! I ended up with way more than i reallyneeded or wanted. haha Then carving them he had to be right up in the mix helping get all the goop out. He is a great helper. He dressed as a monkey, which totally fits his personality. We only took him around to family and a few houses, but he ended up with a ton of candy needless to say. Now all we hear around the house is i wanna coookie, or i want gum!!! oh no

THRILLERRRRR!!

I have been wanting to go the the Odyssey Dance Co. THirller for so long. This year me and my sis finally went. We love us some MJ, It was a blast!!! We both had the best time ever. I was a little freaked out by the zombies that were walking around. They got us a few times!! The dancers were amazing and it was really entertaining. Lorenna Bobbit was my favorite haha so funny :)

Cookie Cutters

Last Monday we took Griggs to get his first "real" haircut. I heard about cookie cutters and thought i'd try it out. Griggs isn't the type of kid to just sit for 15 minutes while someone cuts his hair, but we gave it a go. He was awesome and totally loved sitting in the car and picking out a movie. Plus they gave him a balloon, sucker and a punkin cookie cutter- he didn't want to leave. It is a perfect place to take the kiddos. I will definetly go back, his hair turned out super cute.

Tis the season

FOR Football that is!! Im sad to see summer fade, but am stoked for my favorite sport.The Jets first game went great, and sanchez looks like he has a lot of potential. We will see this week against New England. Anyways Go jets

Love this song

Im totally not a sap, but i love love this song. It is so sweet :)
THEN BY BRAD PAISLEY


I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mezmorized
And three weeks later, in the front porch light
taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet
but I thought I loved you then

Chorus

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea,
stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then

And i remember, taking you back to right where I first met you,
You were so surprised
There were people around, but I didn't care
Got down on one knee right there once again,
I thought I loved you then

Chorus

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea,
stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then

I could just see you, with a baby on the way
And I could just see you, when your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
We'll look back someday, at this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say
And I thought I loved you then
And I thought I loved you then

Lagoon

So we took G to Lagoon for his first time the other day. My dad works on base and gets free tickets so that was a total plus also, that place is outrageous. It was really realy fun. I really cannot remember the last time i went to lagoon, beau and i have been together for 6 years and have never gone, so it was about time. There are a ton of new rides not to mention the awesome kid rides. I am super afraid of heights but love going on most rides, beau is crazy and will do anything so even if i didnt want to go i have no choice. WE took g on everyride he could go on, even the haunted one!! HE LOVEd all the rides and was never scared once. The coolest part of the night was at the Dinner for my dads work, the had a raffel and Me and my dad both won. So cool cause we both never win jack, so we were stoked!! I won a video camera and my dad won a dvd player, i know KILLER PRIZES!!! After that we just played some games and won some little toys. All in all so fun and it wore the stinker out!!!

-- Griggs looks totally unamused in all these pics, but i swear he had a blast!

Summer 2009!!

It has been forever since i have posted anything!! Well this summer has just been crazy and so much fun. Griggs is almost 17 months and he really is not a baby anymore. Kinda sad but he is so fun. He is talking so much repeating eveything we say, and eating with a fork and spoon.Just really a big boy!! He just wants to do everything on his own and love discovering EVERYTHING around him.
We have been keeping so busy July was super exciting. The fourth was a blast we went to the riverdale parade and riverdale days. Then went to a friends house for a bbq and fireworks. We finally had our wedding receptions,one on July 10th at the city club and the other on July 12th in Steph backyard. They both turned out so nice!! My Mom helped so much i couldn't have done it without her help!! Her and my Step dad, Brother Rick and 2 nieces drove up here from Houston so it was really nice to get to see them even though it wasn't long enough visit for me! MOst of the family made it. Beaus grandparents were celebrating their 60th anniversary in Boise so Griggs took a roadtrip with his Grandma & Grandpa Yeaton to visit all the family and then came back up to ogden sunday.
Griggs has really started to love swimming and going on hikes. We try to take him swimming a couple times a week. We love the Roy pool it is so fun for the little ones and beau like the slides! We have gone to the zoo twice we took the front runner up once and that was pretty fun and Griggs is really really in love with animals he just points and stares in amazement. He is so cute. But Here are a few of our summer pics. I have tons more to post.

A little scare

Well Monday i took G baby to get his 15 month check up with his pediatrician. Of course she said he was really healthy and just right on track. Then when she was checking his legs she notices his left leg was a little more bowed then it should be. I know he is bull legged but I had researched myself and everthing said that they just grow out of it. Well I guess there is something called bowing disease that can cause his leg to bow and if not treated can cause a lot of problems down the road. So Yesterday we took him to McKay and got some xrays done. Griggs was just so good and sat so still-- ANYONE THAT KNOWS him will understand!! He is a wiggle worm. But Dr. Clawson called us today and everything is fine WHEW!! Thank God. I was so worried. Not like it would have mattered to me but you just never want to hear something could be wrong with you baby. So we had a little scare but things could be a lot worse.

Here i go

K so I am on a mission-- A mission to get in Bad A shape that is. I just bought this jogging stroller yesterday it is pretty sweet. It has an Ipod adapter so we can rock out and an odometer on it too. So me beau, and G baby went out last night for about 2 mile treck. It was pretty hard, not going to lie (I really hate running to be honest). BUT it was my first time so i know it will get better. Wish me luck i really am going to try to keep with it!!

Strike a pose :)

So i am barely getting around to some new posts. But i was reallly excited to get Griggsy's hands casted for his first birthday. My friend Mindy does them (Keepsake Impressions) and they turned out so freakin cute. I totally thought it wouldn't work because griggs is such a wiggler, but they were perfect. Love em :) The Pics kinda are crappy sorry-

Dancin machine!!

Well Griggs has turned into quite the dancer. Anytime ANY music comes on whether its on a commercial, ringtone, or his favorite MTV he just breaks out dancing. Every morning when i am getting ready for work, we always jam out. He is now doing this funky arm shrug thing and he even break dances!! HA it is so cute, it cracks me up!!

Bye Bye Bottles

So today is going on the 4th successful day Griggs has gone without his bottle. It really hasn't been as hard as i thought. Sad yes, because i kinda like our time when he just lays there with me for a whole 10 minutes!! But its good for him. He is a big boy and is starting to be so independent. We just took him to his one year check up and the doctor said he was perfect and very smart. LIKE I DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW THAT!! ha

The BIg 27!!

Happy Birthday Babe. I can't believe you are 27 wow. I love your guts. I can't wait to spend many many more with you. You are my best friend and an amazing father. WE are so lucky to have you. I hope you have a super day.

Missing Maui :(

So It has been a week since we got home from beautiful maui and I already miss it!! It is so so beautiful and laid back there i just want to go back!! I keep a picture of the beach on my phone as a screen saver I try to picture myself there. haha It was so nice for Griggs to get to spend some time with his Grandpa McNeeley. They had so much fun together, except Griggs tore the house apart hourly :) We had such a good time with him and he was so good to us. Thank you John!! It is just so sad coming from such a beautiful climate to THIS CRAPPY westher!! Well i just had to sulk for a second. But one thing is for sure-- WE ARE GOING BACK SOON!! Thats a guarantee
