Trip to Rochester, NY

At the end of June we flew to Rochester, NY where Alec has family. His Grandpa Jack had passed away and we went to the funeral. The flight up there was absolutely awful... we got on the plane at 12:30 and didn't take off till after 5 due to a maintenance problem with the plane! They would not even let us get off the plane the entire time! Thankfully, Griffin is such a trooper and did really well with the wait (even without a nap)... he watched a movie and played with his Toy Story figures from Papa and Nana most of the time!

Sweet boy...


When we finally took off he settled in with a Dum-Dum and fell asleep as soon as it was gone!


We then had a long layover in Chicago, as we had missed our connecting flight. Luckily they had a play area and Griffin got some run around time!! We then had some yummy Chicago pizza and we were back on the plane at around 9:30!


We didn't get in until after midnight and had to get up very early the next morning to ride a bus for an hour out to the graveside service for Grandpa Jack. Griffin did well on the bus being entertained by his Grandma and also his cousin TJ!


We then stayed with Alec's Aunt Jean for a few days. Her daughter, Victoria, and Griffin had a blast together!!









Oh and a sidenote here... I let Griffin use scissors for the first time while we were at the museum and he cut a big chunk of his hair out! Grr... we were literally all standing right next to him, but he put the scissors next to his head to try to get a better grip on them and in turn closed them and cut his hair! Ah well...


The service was beautiful and we had a good time visiting with Alec's family.

More Summer FUN!!

I am so sorry I have been MIA for a while! I meant to post all of this before our vacation and just never got around to it. Anyway... here is some of the fun we had in June!!

We had a play date at California Lane Park with some friends, and the kids had a blast playing in the water!!

Griffin talking to Eli about going into the water with him!


Griffin running through the tunnel and jumping in the water!


Griffin and his buddies Mark and Jamison!



Griffin officially turned TWO and a HALF!! Wow! We got him a little birthday cake to celebrate!!


We took Griffin to see his first movie at the movie theater, Toy Story 3! He had so much fun and even met a guy who worked there who thought it was pretty special it was his first movie experience, as the first Toy Story was his first movie! SO he went and found him a movie poster for him to bring home, so cool!!!

Griffin had to have popcorn!






We went to a Fort Worth CATS game for Father's Day!


I just love his blue eyes... Can you tell it was hot??!


Eli joined us and the boys had fun playing...


Griffin and his daddy reading... I love listening to them read together!
