The Zoo, baby jeans, and drinking from a cup

It's always better when we're together.....having fun at the zoo...
Staring at the raven...
Big bird
I like to look at animals....
giraffe.
I love my dad!!!!!
Whoa! Peacocks are so cool! Come over here please peacock...

Checking out the monkeys...
This is an extra pic that I just really love....
I know this is how to do it, but there's no water coming out...
Griffin will be a jeans model someday....maybe....ok probably not, but ya never know.

We took Griffin to the Clovis Zoo Friday afternoon. It's a pretty decent zoo for Clovis. We were always surprised when we would turn around and see another animal we didn't expect them to have. Like the giraffe. They have a humongous giraffe! Most giraffes are humongous I suppose, but I guess it just seemed so big since we never see them in real life ever.
Griffin had a good time. His favorite animals were the peacock, monkeys, and the raven.
Some friends of ours had gone to the zoo last week and bought yearly passes. So Tyler and I bought some since we will use them quite a bit, we think, since there's not much else to do with a baby in Clovis. And I can take Griffin during the week with friends too.

Also, I sometimes let Griffin drink out of a real cup with me holding it, and so now he loves to play with cups. He knows you're suppose to hold it to your mouth, which he will do with the cup he plays with.

And finally, today he had on a pair of jeans he's had since Oct. that still fit him (6months size) and they just now fit him perfectly and are so cute on him that I had to take a picture. I just love little baby jeans. They are one of my favorite baby things.
Hope everyone has a splendid weekend. :)

Sticks, grass, and warmer weather....


Crawling over to this almost green stuff...
This is fun...
Having fun with my mom..
Made it off the blanket....
Not so sure I like this stuff...
Kinda prickly...
Hmmm..what have I found???
Mom says it's a stick.
Can I eat it?
It's fun to hold on to....
I love this stick!
Inspecting some more...

Today was so nice that Griffin and I spent some time outdoors in our backyard. He was fairly excited about it and loved being out in the open, fresh air. He has much to explore and I think I enjoyed watching him more than he did exploring.

1st birthday

Not much to blog about today, I am, however, about to give Griffin his first birthday soon and I have a favor to ask any mothers who read this that have ever given a first birthday for their baby. Do y'all have any tips, suggestions, or advice to give from y'all's experience? Anything would be appreciated! Thanks!

What is Big? What is Small? (Mark 9:30-41)

How Big? How Small? from Central Baptist Church on Vimeo.

Student Pastor Tyler Hicks explores what Jesus teaches about being great in the Kingdom of God

Be The Bridge

This is pt.3 of The Bridge Series. This message discusses how we are charged by God to be ministers of reconciliation... in other words, we should be the bridge reaching out to others and pointing them to Christ.

GREAT SERMON!

Finally

Oh yes, the time finally came this week! Griffin is crawling! My aunt practically taught him I think. (Thanks Aunt Nese) Guess I haven't been a very good teacher. But we are so happy for Griffin's achievement!
