Emily's 1st Birthday

What a great 1st birthday! Thank goodness our backyard was done in time. I had all my friends and family around to celebrate this special day. We played in the water, had a water balloon fight, find the matching ball game, a pinata, food, and most important....CAKE!!! I loved my cake my mommy made me. I had to take a bath to get cleaned off so I could open my presents! Thank you to everyone who was able to make it and thank you to all who sent their birthday wishes.

Father's Day 2010

Too Cute!

Emily is just too cute for words!

Hayden's 3rd Birthday Party

Nana & Emily hanging out.

Fun rides at Blackbeard's, but boy was it a hot day!

Emily is all tuckered out.

"She touched my cake!" Oh my, turning three must mean melt down city.

Thanks Mom and Dad for my awesome ride! I love it!!!

Our Cheese Ball!

Thanks Madrigal's for my awesome playhouse that I'll share with Emily.

Pancakes with Santa

What a treat...we got to have pancakes with Santa. Hayden was a little scared at first, but Santa gave him a candy cane and no more issues.

I guess that's all it takes to warm a childs heart, some candy. Scary!!!

We took our pics and had a delicious breakfast, one of Hayden's favorite breakfasts matter of fact. He couldn't stop talking to Santa and showing him his firefighter hat. He told Santa he wanted a monster truck for Christmas...we'll see what Santa brings him.

Merry Christmas --- Happy Holidays
from the Griswalds!


Sleeping Beauty

What's so interesting? Emily and Daddy are really concerned, but Hayden, not so much.

5 Months Old

I love my thumb!
Yes, that's right, I love to suck my thumb if I can't find my pacifier.

So what's new at 5 months....
~I am rolling over from my back to my front.
~I try to arch out of my Bumbo and my bouncer chair.
~I'm eating and loving rice cereal.
~Loving my vegetables, not sure which one's the favorite yet.
~Talking all the time, sticking out tongue and making funny faces, blowing raspberries, and drooling all over the place.
(you'd think she was teething with all the drool)

All in all, she is a happy baby and she loves it when her brother makes her laugh!

1st Notre Dame Game

Dre was super excited! He's a huge Notre Dame fan and he finally got to watch them play in person. Although the game was in CA and not in South Bend, he couldn't have been happier. Well he could've been happier if they would've won. Poor play calling...it was a close game and a good one to boot.
