Elysian Fields + family and friends = lots of fun

Griffin and I went to Elysian Fields, where I grew up, to stay with my mom and dad for a week and while were there alot of my friends came to see us! We got to see three of my college roommates- Courtney, Megan, and Emily. My good, sweet friend Brittany also came to see us. She is the one holding Griffin with the sunlight and shadows on them. My friend Scarlet came over one day too. She got to see Landry and Griffin.
Then we headed to Groveton, Tx to take Griffin to see his great grandmother, Nana. Nana LOVED Griffin! It was so funny. She just loved on him so much and I enjoyed sharing him with her. It's so much fun when you get to share your child with someone who just gets so excited about them and just really expresses how much they adore him. Nana did. It was such a sweet blessing to visit her.

My friend Megan brought her two sons with her to EF. In the picture with me and two other girls- thats Courtney and then thats Megan. I am holding her baby boy, Rylan. She is holding her 3 yr. old Hayden, and Court got to hold Griffin. Courtney is 6 months pregnant too. It was so sweet to get to see them, since we never get to. And we missed you Mel!

Thanks everyone for coming to see us!

Blue Bell babies

My mom got Landry and Griffin these really cute blue bell t-shirts at the blue bell plant in Brenham, TX so we decided to take some pics of them together in them. They turned out so precious!

At the Lake pt.2

We also spent the week with my nephews Hudson and Haddon and our friend Shane's girls Adaline and Corlea.

Landry loved Griffin. She liked to feel of his soft hair and pat his tummy. I think they will be great friends some day.

My mom was eating it up getting to be around both her grand kids at the same time.

The Lake

Here's some fun pics of us at Lake Jacksonville. I loved getting to see my neice Landry. She was the life of the party! Even though it was only my third time to ever see her she loved me still! I love her so much too! I think my sister loved Griffin too.

We're home!!!

Griffin and I got home yesterday. We were both so ready to see Tyler! It had been 9 days since we had last seen him at the lake. That's the longest I have ever been away from him. It is so good to be home after traveling so much. We had a wonderful vacation at Lake Jacksonville with my family and then Griffin and I had a sweet time staying in Elysian Fields with my parents for a week getting to see old friends and family. This is a sweet pic that I took one evening at my mom and dad's. Cristy, you would be proud of me for catching this beautiful sunlight coming through the windows! I'll admit it was just luck, not that I actually really noticed what I was even doing! ha!
More pics to come prob on Thurs. when our week slows down. We have enjoyed being home today.

Meet Griffin Party

Tommorrow we are having a meet Griffin party here at my mom and dad's. Four of my friends from college are suppose to be coming, maybe a few from high school, and many of my mom and dad's friends will be here too. I am so excited to get to see some of my friends and share Griffin with them for a little while. My friend Megan has two boys and my other friend Courtney is about 6 months pregnant and it's going to be fun seeing them. It's crazy we are all having babies now. It's just a sweet time in our lives and I am glad we get to be around one another for just a little bit during it. We never get to see each other since I live 10 hours away and our other roomate, Mel, lives 8 hrs. away. Anyways, looking forward to tommorrow. I love getting to watch other people enjoy Griffin, there's nothing sweeter, other than him himself of course. :)

Greetings from East Texas

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've blogged. I've missed it! We have been at Lake Jacksonville in east Texas all week on vacation and it was so much fun and relaxing. Griffin and I are staying with my parents for this week while Tyler is on some more trips for work. Here's just a glimpse of our stay at the lake. Griffin was worn out by the end of every day. Our friend Shane took this pic on his IPhone and emailed it to me. More pics to come.
