Holiday Fun

This year we got to spend the week with the Stowe, Leni, Wiseman clan at a condo in Midway, UT. We of course had lots of fun...here are some of our adventures.

After trying to go sledding (who knew you needed a reservation!) we decided to test our skills at the local ice skating rink.

AJ here was a superstar - even up on 1 foot in this photo.

Allie and Shelby made it around a bunch of times and Adeline got the hang of it quick.

Notice the head to toe snowsuits originally for sledding - kept us nice and toasty during ice skating.

Mr. Griff stayed back out of the cold at the Condo with Grammie and the newest addition to the Wiseman Family - their little puppy named: Zeus.

Ice Dancing....

Who know we had such talent in our family....Shannon & Rob show us how to move so gracefully on the ice....

Merry Christmas 2010

We were spoiled this year, lots of fun new toys and clothes for Griff and some cool stuff for mommy and daddy.

Griff's Christmas Present

Little Griff gave us the best christmas present ever....the gift of laughter.

There is nothing more precious than a baby's laugh...take a look.

Not sure I love that he was laughing at daddy attempting to be a tepanyaki chef with some knives.

All the same...we LOVED to hear our baby laugh and couldn't wait to share it with our friends and family.

Merry Christmas!!!

My buddy and Me

Me and my friend Kobe, Kobe's mommy Heidi is Griff's nanny, these two are starting to recognize each other and play together, they are little jail birds today - so cute!!!

Griff & Napolean

Best buddies with my kitty.....Napolean and Griff are making friends.

Griff thinks it's fun to watch the kitty move around the house and Napolean cant get enough of snuggling up with Griff. Too Cute.

Snow Angel....or at least an attempt at one

Mommy thought it would be a good idea to bundle me up in my winter suit and attempt to make a snow angel. I didnt much mind the suit but the snow angel didnt work out too good. I loved the snowflakes falling on my face and tried to eat them of course.

Christmas PJ's

Griff received some adorable Christmas PJ's - note the bum says - Daddy's Little Devil.

Go figure that daddy would have an matching pair so they could be twins. Couldnt pass up the opportunity to take some pictures....And of course when all said and done they were both tuckered out from the whole experience.

Oh Christmas Tree...Oh Christmas Tree...

We found a lovely tree from our local farmer here in Lehi this year.

It is beautiful and smells great - guess the real thing is worth it.

picture.

We also did our ornament giving -

Shannon got an Emmett Kelly Jr Clown,

I got HOPE Angels and little Griff got his first ornament

a Sock Monkey which he loves...you can tell by the picture

Not sure if he loves it or is just over the pictures for the day.

I think he is saying "give me the dang sock monkey or else".

White Trash X Mas Party - Bunko Style

We got all decked out for our White Trash X Mas party with some great friends in Salt Lake. Of course Shannon in all his mullet glory won 1st place for best costume. Little did they know this is his regular outfit.

Little Griff didn't get to attend - he got to say home with Grammie Ilene for lots of loves and kisses.

Thanksgiving 2010 - in Heaven

We spent Thanksgiving with the Ingram's in Heaven this year. With some very cold - snowy - weather and lots of food, fun & great helpers.

Griff had a great time and LOVED his cousins.

Proud Papa's

While in Bellingham for Thanksgiving we got a chance to meet Logan, Griff's new friend. And it was great to see proud parents Daisy & Jared. It is very funny to see these 2 guys with little babies....the'll make great daddies for sure.

Operation Poopie Diaper

Daddy has a very hard time with the dirty diapers but he does try to help when he can. He of course has to gear up for the big event by laying out all the wipes in advance - get the diaper ready to go and cover the nose to avoid the smells. I keep telling daddy that these are the easy ones...wait til Griff's a bit older.

Mommy and Griff

Mommy and Me...Just getting ready to go out and about for the day and of course we have to wear our hats :-)

Happy Halloween...

Daddy was a Mormon Missionary - Elder Ingram from B'Ham, WA aka Heaven.

And Griff was Luke Skywalker...
He even learned how to use his light sabre.

Swimming Anyone...

Shannon and I decided to get a membership to the local Lehi Gym...WAHOO!!! And with it comes a really cool kiddie pool. We figured we'd give Griff a try at swimming. He LOVED it!!! Such a big boy already.

Bed Time Stories

Daddy loves to read to Griff, sometimes it motorcycle magazines and other times it cute little baby books. Either way it's pretty dang cute!!!

My Baby is 2 months old....

wow how times flies...seems like just yesterday he was just a wish. now our little sunshine is here and learning new things everyday....like holding up his head, listening for mommy and daddies voices and smiling. i am enjoying every minute because i know you cant get them back and they pass too quickly.

Witch~a~Palloza

Another year and another witchy tradition with the sisters.

So much fun to spend time with the family!!!!

Opposites Attract

Go Figure....Tui Lui and Napolean becoming snuggle buddies.

I couldn't pass up this priceless moment where the 2 were sharing the same bed.

If you look closely you can see the kitty's arm draped over tui's neck....TOO CUTE!!!

Sleepy Head...

I love taking snooze on daddy...he's pretty comfortable.

We took Griff on his first adventure to the wilderness....The Little Sahara Sand Dunes.

He loved it, even got to go in the RZR for a very SLOW ride and fell asleep right away.

AJ joined us for lots of fun and decided to wear his breakfast instead of eat it :-)

Daddy and Me

Griff loves hanging with daddy, chillin on the couch or mowing the lawn..

Griff's Hands & Feet...

How hard can it be to paint the feet and hands and get a

print....guess you shouldn't start off with a tired baby and cold paint.

Daddy and I managed to make Griff REALLY mad and get some not so great baby foot and hand prints. Guess they are never to young to let you know how they really feel.

Tui vs. Ice Cube

Remember the story about the boy who licked a pole at school in the winter and his tongue got stuck...well my Tui Lui is proof that the lip will really stick. He tried to eat this ice cube and got it stuck to his lip instead. He was confused and nervous...didnt move a muscle. Once I could stop laughing and get a picture....

I had to hold him over the sink and dump warm water over the ice cube for it to drop off.

Splish, Splash, I was taking a bath....

I love my bath time....mommy says I love it, daddy says I look terrified. Either way I am clean baby. And I love to eat...look at my belly :-)

After my bath I get wrapped up snug as a bug in my bath towel and get to cuddle with mommy and daddy.

Whoa....

We had to get a new swing for the Griff, the first one didn't

move much and now this one gets him going....He loves it...

Kisses

I love when mommy gives me kisses, I even figured out how to give kisses back.

It's my new favorite trick - Mommy is hoping that I never get tired of getting kisses (but I am sure I will soon!!!)

P.S. Thanks Auntie Allie, Uncle Tony, Cousins AJ & Adeline for taking care of me on my first baby sitting adventure while my parents went to Jaime & Aysar's Baby Shower.

Lazy Saturday Afternoon

At least for some of us (Griff, Me & the Doggies) got to relax while Daddy and Grandpa Dan put up our new shed.

FYI, the instruction manual didn't advise climbing on the roof to install - this was all their idea. Thankfully they are safe and the shed looks great!!!!

Bossing us around already

Check me out, I figured out how to pray for more food - look at my little hands in this picture

And when everyone is being too loud then I can SHHHHH them as well.
