Day trip to Sea World!

Thursday evening when Alec got home from work we sat down for dinner and enjoyed some tacos...while eating we both discussed how we had Friday off and that we should do something fun and different. Well, Alec suggested we drive to San Antonio that night and spend the day at Sea World on Friday, then drive back home Friday night. At first I thought it was crazy, it was already 8:30! But then, I decided that it would be so fun to take Griffin up there for the day and why not be a little spontaneous! So we packed up and headed out!

Griffin sleeping on the way...


As soon as we got to Sea World Griffin took off to feed the dolpins!







Then we went swimming...


There was a slide in the pool!




He didn't need this life jacket, but saw it and wanted it on... for like one minute! LOL!






He had a blast jumping into the water...






Caught a show we hadn't seen before... and G loved dancing to the music, but only from his chair! He was scared of the characters!




We saw Shamu... Hi Shamu!


And then one more trip back to the dolphins before we headed home... he laid here and watched them for over half an hour... it was so peaceful as the feeding side was closed so the dolphins were just playing...


We got home late Friday night, we are all tired and very sun BURNT, but it was totally worth it! We had an absolute BLAST!

My little man...

Griffin LOVES music! He loves to dance, sing, and play instruments! So much fun! Here are a few videos I captured of him the other night, thank goodness he let me get him on video! Usually when he sees the camera he stops! Enjoy!!










And, Griffin's Aunt Julie sent him a surprise for getting potty trained... some Go Diego Go (or as Griffin calls it Go Go Go!) underwear! I just loved these two pics of him when he got it!

Opening his surprise!


Him and his cousin Connor, Griffin kept telling Connor thank you and Connor just wanted to smile for the camera! Loved this chillin out pose!

Summer means...

BASEBALL and water time!!!

First Cats game of the season... Griffin LOVED it!! Surprising I know!





He had to get a "helmet"!


He got to run the bases!!




Ready to Slip'n'slide!










Playing in the water at the park!

Oh Griffin...

My little man is such a hoot, I mean seriously a total character! I have fears that he will be the class clown... but hey somebody has to fill that role huh? Kidding, kidding... I know that he will know how to at least control his goofiness! A few stories of the last week...

Griffin loves to dip... he dips everything from his chips to his waffles (in applesauce)! He loves the process of dipping, and he loves the dip by itself! So the other night we were at CampoVerde (my fav restaurant!) with our friend Heather and out of nowhere she busted out laughing and said, "Um you might want to stop him!" I look over and he has picked the bowl of cheese dip up and is DRINKING it! I said, " Griffin, you can't drink that!" and he said, "Yes I sip it!" Cracked us up!

The other night while me and Griffin were driving around, he was getting kind of bored with all my errands, so I told him to tell me a story. He started to tell me the story of The Three Little Pigs... "the pig in the house and the wolf go hoooooo hooooo HOOOOO (blowing sound with his mouth) and pig run run run!" and I asked, "Where did the pig go?" and he said, " Go car, vroom vroom, and say bye bye wolf, see ya soon!" Love him! Since then when I ask him where the pig went he has said "to Griffin's house" and " to other house and wolf say hooooo hooooo HOOOO!" Awesome!

One more... So Griffin had some ravioli the other night and we had taken his shirt off so he wouldn't get red sauce on it. When he was done, there was red sauce all down his belly and Alec said, "Wow Griffin you got red sauce all over your belly!" and Griffin responded, 'YEA! Go Red Sox!" Hahaha! Always got baseball on the mind!

Weekend with Maelea!!

On Memorial Day weekend our dear friend Heather, who Alec and I met in college, and her sweet daughter Maelea, who was born on the same day as Griffin, came down to visit us from Tennessee! It was a fun filled, jam packed, three day visit... and when it was over we were very sad to see them go and Griffin has told me everyday since they left how much he misses Maelea... makes me wish we could see them more often or that they would move back to Texas!! Ah well, we truly had a blast as I am sure can be seen in the pictures from our weekend! We went to several parks, the ZOO, the children's museum, had their pictures taken at JCPenney's, and just found fun where ever we went!

Snack before going to get pics taken!



Are they not the cutest?!?! Oh they are!
