Griffin and Gray's Christmas Program

This year was so much fun! We were able to see Griff and Gray perform together this year. Griffin was a shephard and Gray was a sheep as you can tell in the pictures below. They both did so great! They each had a moment pointing and yelling "Pops". What can I say they love their pops.

My little Bake Man

Jv took Griffin to therapy while me and Gray made cupcakes for his class and Griffin's class. He got to put on the sprinkles which was so much fun! We had a ball! He even told his teachers about the sprinkles.

A New Tradition...

This year we really wanted to get the boys involved in the real meaning of Christmas. The gift of Giving. I contacted a lady at the local DSS and to see if there was any way that the Foster Families would be okay with receiving lightly used toys. She gave me the name of a very sweet lady that planned all of the social events for the Foster Families.
After talking with her I thought why not get the whole church involved? So, we announced it and sent out a few emails and God delivered the rest! It was an amazing night each kid got 3 toys and there was dozens left over! They took everything that was left and stored it in their storage unit.

They also received things that they were in desperate need, A crib, baby clothes, infant swings, highchairs the list continues.... Just when I doubt, the creator shows up and amazes me once again!

The unity of the church blew me away!
"I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment." 1 COR 1:10

Looking forward to next year!

Fall Pumpkin Field Trip

Griffin had a field trip to a local pumpkin patch. We had a great time and he picked out the cutest little pumpkin and said that he was going to give it to Dee Dee. Then he even picked one out for Gray.

His favorite part was playing with the duck race. I got to see take 2 other boys in my car and when we got in. They were talking about what their favorite part was and one of them said the hay ride, the other one said the maze and then they asked Griffin and he said "The Ducks".

I have really enjoyed being a room mom. This group of kids have been so much fun!

Few Halloween Pictures

This Halloween was so much fun. Jv came up with the idea of us dressing up as the Grease family. He was John Travolta (Danny Zuko)-the leader of the T-Birds. I was Olivia Newton-John (Sandy Olsen)-one of the pink ladies. And for the boys to be the "little" T-birds.

I was very excited that my husband decided to pick it out this year. It was his first but hopefully not his last!

I do have a pretty funny story about our "little" T-birds. I had this great idea that I would slick back Griffin and Gray's hair for the Parade at their school. That morning I got some Gel combed it in their hair and off we go! When we got to the school their hair was no longer slick. More like sticky, haven't washed it in days, look. Hilarious! My boys looked more like bums rather than cool T-birds.
Needless to say, we got a good laugh!












Halloween night we went to a few houses with our Small group from church and then headed to Dee and Pops to hand out candy. Griffin loved it and Gray was scared of most of them. I can't say I blame him:)

Still here

Our computer is broken:(. I will update as soon as it is fixed. I promise:).

3rd Annual Beach Trip With The Grands!

I know that the Lord puts these little ones in our lives to remind us daily of what is important in life. They were so excited to have rocking chairs! They would go out on the poarch and sing songs and listen to the waves crashing. How I love seeing their hearts and hearing their sweet voices!








We had a really busy afternoon planned. We let Dee, Pops and Griffin ride the new Sky Wheel and the rest of us stayed close to the ground. We then went to the arcade and then to the Amusment park. Lots of local fun!




















Jv one this fish for Gray. He is my stuff animal lover! We asked him to name the fish and he came up with Mr. Beach. He decided that Mr. Beach had to come with us everywhere after that:)















Blair and his friend Lyle came to visit one afternoon. It was great catching up with them.


Our last night we went out to eat at the local Marsh Walk. Fun places to eat and a great place for the boys to walk. We will try and make this happen twice next year:) We all had really yummy food and great entertainment!
