Griffin

Just a fun post on Griffin. He may have been going through a growth spurt because he was falling asleep at the oddest times and places, other than his bed, which was really the own place we usually could get him to take a nap.

 

After church, one of his nursery teachers caught me in the hallway and said that he had fallen asleep in class and was still asleep. This is what I came into the classroom to find :) 

These next three were at home. I had been trying to sleep train Creed so I was constantly in his room. I'd given Griff my phone to keep him busy and would always come out to find him like this!

And Griffin has finally been potty trained going #2! Thank goodness. He really wanted a big firetruck and I happened to find this one in an Easter clearance basket so voila!

Family in Town

Griffin turned THREE! It's crazy how time has flown...he was just my baby...it feels so weird to have a newborn now, feels so new to me since Griff is "so grown up". He's got so much spunk, is such a great helper, loves doing what Kort is doing (good or bad :/) He weighs 33 pounds. He knows his ABC's, loves singing songs anywhere he goes (his favorite is Feliz Navidad (don't know why!), can count to 20, and can carry on conversations with us!

We had family come into town for Creed's baby blessing. My sister was finally able to be there! With our last two kids, I was always having the baby a couple months before hers was due, so she was too far along to come, and then I'd be too recent of having the baby to go see hers, so we'd never be able to go to each other's baby blessings :)

Brandon, Barb, and Leland were able to join us as well! We missed Quinn, Kaitlyn, Bailey, and Mia who had recently moved to Massachusetts so they were unable to come as well as Tyler, Caeli, Oakley, and Beau, also in Massachusetts, and Justin and Sara back in Idaho. Thankful my parents could come, as well as Clay's, who unfortunately weren't able to be at the actual blessing. The day before, Saturday, everyone was helping put rock in our front driveway area for landscaping. Clay's dad was kind of having problems and so early afternoon he came in and felt pain in his arm/heart. We weren't sure what was happening as he still felt ok, but decided it was best to take him to the ER. They ran scans (CT, ECG?) a few times and nothing showed up. Well on the last one, it showed that he was having a heart attack pretty much right then. They got him prepped for surgery as one of his arteries was 99% blocked. He got a stent put in and to make a long story short, was in the hospital until Tuesday/Wednesday, hence why they weren't at the blessing. However, it was truly a blessing that he was here at our house, around family and not out working by himself or on some job run for work back in Idaho where he wouldn't be able to help himself. He got the great care that he did. They were supposed to fly back home Wednesday but the doctor said he couldn't fly for about 10 days, so they had to change flights, car rental stuff, and get all their medications switched and filled here. The boys loved having extra time with Cita and Grandpa. 

We took family for a ride around and did a quick stop at the end of the day (Monday) at Turner Falls. 

We headed to Blue River in Tishomingo and stopped at Miranda Lambert's store, Pink Pistol, and did some souvenir shopping. 

We also did some Easter egg hunts!       

It was a crazy household as everyone was staying at our place, but it was fun to have people here since we live so far away from everyone and hard to get back to Idaho with the kids and work and time and money. ha ha
