crazy-haired reader!



Just thought I'd let you in on a cute thing I saw this morning! Just before we left for work, I put him in his bed with a book... I thought this was sweet but hilarious, with his crazy hair!
Enjoy :)

the best job in the world!

Reason # 1,344 why I love my job: a trip to the park with Reece on a beautiful afternoon!




and Sunday after church, he was conked out after all that playing with friends!

Nothing compares to family!

Isn't my 5 1/2 month old niece just adorable? Like Reece, Livi is growing so quickly! It is a joy to see her smile daily... since Erin and I bring our babies with us up to Kingdom Keys! (And what a blessing it is, to see their every growing moment!)
Here is a fun picture of the Pfeils!

And another close-up of the beauty queen!

Upon a recent trip to Sam's Club, I couldn't resist capturing the statement of "double the fun!"
(Looks like Reece is wishing I'd pull his visor over him... sweet thing, the sun was too bright!) But these cousins will be nothing short of "extremely close" as they get older; they are always together!

And we are so grateful for all of our family. Whether it's a trip to Sam's, to OKC or to Spearman, we are always blessed to be surrounded with our best friends, our family!
More recently, we appreciate the loving kindness from friends and family who knew of Garrett's Grandma (GiGi) passing away. We were able to spend more time with her this past holiday season and even in January. She is a precious woman filled with great love and we are blessed to honor her memory. We are encouraged even more to know that she is in our future!
Here is GiGi and Reece, on December 20th. Notice how happy and content they both are!

As we remembered and celebrated GiGi's life... here we are:

The Griffin men
and
the entire Griffin family
Grandpa Jelly and Gi with Reece upon their recent trip down to the panhandle!


Life is a precious thing. It is an honor to "do life" with our family!
And speaking of family, this a picture from 2 Christmas' ago, that I have to post according to Colleen's tag/challenge! This was 2007 when Erin and I roadtripped to OKC around my birthday. I was taking the pic just before we headed out to do something fun... I've already forgotten now! But we always have fun everytime we're in OKC.... oh the memories!

(And by the way, Sydney Joy has grown so much since then! She is a big 7th grader now!)

So, what's with this challenge and this random picture I had to post? Here are the details:

Directions: 1. Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer. 2. Select the 4th picture in the folder. 3. Explain the picture. 4. Tag 4 people to do the same.
~No cheating (cropping, editing, etc.) Have fun!
You're it!
1. the Hughes'
2. the Ray's
3. the Pfeil's
4. the Doak's

Lastly, a big congratulations to Mark and Heather on the baby boy they'll be having! So much fun is ahead of them :)
Well, thanks for catching up with us! It's always good to let you know what's been going on... until next time,
F & G & R
