Goodbye Scruffy :-(

We had to say goodbye to our friend and awesome dog Scruffy this past year. We love him so much and cant thank him enough for being such a great dog. He was Shannon's best pal for the past 17 years and loved by everyone who knew him. Thanks for all the memories Scruff!

Christmas 2011 in Bellingham

We ventured up to "heaven" aka Bellingham, WA for Christmas this year. It was great to see all the Ingrams with lots of cousins and 2 new additions to the family this year, too. YEAH!!!

Griff was spoiled on all accounts and loved every minute of it. Though he thinks the toys, games, etc are very cool I'd have to say the wrapping paper and boxes were the highlight of his 2nd christmas.
We were lucky enough to spend Christmas morning with our cousins Madesyn and Kyla. We got to watch them open presents from Santa and Griff found some as well.
Griff got the Rockin' Elmo and loves to swipe the microphone from Elmo and sing his own tune while dancing. A little rocker already.
He got so many presents delivered to the house this year from all the family that we didn't get a chance to see. We LOVED all the presents and couldn't wait to open the boxes an play with everything. We sure did miss everyone in Utah, Iowa, Hawaii, California...and wanted to say THANKS for such awesome gifts. We will have lots to do in the days and weeks ahead.
Auntie Shelby and her artistic self made this picture for Griff!! We had to hang it up ASAP right above his bed so he can say Good Morning and Good Night to his Motorcycle every day.
To cap it off we had an Ugly Sweater Christmas Eve with the Ingrams, gotta love our sytling outfits. I think Griff had the best one of all it's a humpty dumpty sweater.

Christmas Cookie Time

We made cookies for our friends in Oregon this year and Griff loved to help frost (i should say EAT the frosting!!!)

Merry Christmas to All!!!

Mexico in December

For an early Christmas Present Grammie and Grandpa Stowe took the whole family to a cruise down to Mexico. What a blast we had with the family and Griff LOVED hanging with the cousins.

Getting all dressed up for our fancy dinner on board the Oosterdam

Our servers loved Griff - they would bring him special treats each night and always a plate of his favorite - french fries.

Daddy and Griff on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, what a beautiful day. Griff is going full steam ahead to the water.

The whole clan!! It was lots of fun!!

Griff's First Hair Cut

This one was harder for mommy for sure, I wasn't ready to admit my little guy was old enough for a hair cut but once the mullet was forming in the back I had to give in. He did great sitting still for the hair cut but did manage a few grumpy moments.
