Teething Bites

Poor little Griff has popped out 3 teeth in 2 weeks! Poor baby. He has done pretty good with teething but he has had his moments. He was extra cranky today, constantly chewing on his hands and biting on his shirt (must be a teething thing??) He has been biting on everything! So, I let him have a popsicle tonight to numb up his gums and he LOVED it. It was so fun giving him something yummy and sweet. He seriously ate the entire thing! Kason and I took a bite each but that was it! I just now gave him a little Motrin and rocked him to sleep. I normally do not rock him but I am giving him extra love because I feel so bad for him! He seems so sad and in pain all the time right now :( Any teething suggestions fellow Mommies???

Check it out!

My little sister is on a billboard! Crazy! For those of you that live up north, that is where it is! So, I am sure that as you drive down the freeway you may just see her one day. She won the billboard contest at Blue Boutique, a lingerie etc. shop in Salt Lake City. Go Linds! You crazy girl!

Somebody Stop Me!

I initially did the cloth diaper thing to save money but sheeeeesh, it is now an obsession! Haha. I love the concept of cloth, of course but I am lulled by the hundreds of different kinds of dipes! There are some really cute one's out there and all I want to do is keep buying! They are NOT cheap. Thankfully I found a way to buy them second hand, sounds sick I know. It is perfectly fine though! There is a way to sanitize them and a lot of the one's being sold second hand are either new or barely used. A lot of people buy a bunch of dipes to see which one's they like and they can re-sell the one's they don't. They have an amazing resale value, believe it or not! So, I am going to try and stop buying dipes........as soon as Kason stops buying golf stuff ;) My favorite dipes are pockets and all in one's/two's. I like Bumkins (they are mostly just cute!) but I LOVE Bum Genius, Rumparooz and Better Bums. I am sure I will be trying more kinds eventually. Here is a pic of Griff in a new dipe!

Grampy's Big 5-0!

Yesterday was Grandpa Pead's fiftieth birthday! We went to Pine Valley for the afternoon and evening and enjoyed ourselves at a HUGE million dollar cabin thanks to some friends of the Pead's, the Griffin's (funny huh?). It was UNREAL. Super gorgeous and completely decked out to the max. We just hung around, went fishing, rode on the paddle boat and ate some yummy dinner. It was twenty degrees cooler there and it is only an hour from St George. Amazing huh? We had a ton of fun!

What I Wake Up to

I LOVE going into Griff's room every morning to wake him up. He is almost always standing and talking away. Sometimes I just peek in his room because I haven't heard a peep and he is just standing there quiet as can be! That always cracks me up. It is like he just standing there waiting! Not making a sound! He is such a funny kid. We absolutely adore him :)

Fourth of July

Griff and Daddy
Aunt Nicole and Griff
Grampy and Griff

This was Griffin's first Fourth of July! We had a ton of fun! We went swimming and played all day on Friday. Then, we all (the whole fam! Even Kira, Nate and Addy were in town!) went to Texas Roadhouse and ate some yummy dinner. After that we cruised over to the Courtyard Marriott and got some rooms with balconies and watched the fireworks from there! We spent the night at the hotel and then went home in the morning. It was a long day for those of us with babies but we all had so much fun!

Attention Future Mother's!

Do not buy your child too many toy's!! They hardly even play with them, at least Griff doesn't. He would rather have a piece of paper, kitchen supplies, a plastic bag (yes, I watch him closely!) you name it! He pretty much wants anything that isn't a toy over a cool toy any day! It drives me crazy! I was preparing my Primary lesson this morning and he wanted my books SO bad. He sat there and reached and cried for the books for what seemed like forever!! Finally, Kason came and took him away because I couldn't take it! Being a boy, Griff pretty much needs some balls to play with and that is about it.
