Good Times with New Friends and Too Too Cute in Tulips

We have been busy, busy, busy! The weather has been so pleasant... well, until the cold front and rain blew in yesterday, that is... Griffin has been taking full advantage of the "Spring-like" temperatures and loving every minute of this time of year!
Helping Mommy pull weeds outside on Saturday- this was before I got a blanket for him to sit on, hence his ankles crossed in fear of the 'itchy' grass touching him... We just love these cute little Crocs from Miss Pearl at Daddy's office- thank you!
My New Friend Courtney
Saturday night we went to Vinny and MJ's house for dinner and Griffin met their little girl, Courtney, for the first time. Courtney is just one month younger than Griffin. They hit it off right away! He had so much fun playing with her and kept hugging and KISSING Courtney right on the lips even! Oh boy!!! They were two peas in a pod together, so much fun! We look forward to doing it again!

Griffin was checking out the many remotes, while Courtney was dancing to the fun 80's music
(typical boy/girl doings I should say...)

Just playing together
Playdate at McKenna and Jace's
On Monday, we went to Katie's house and Meggan, another friend of mine from high school, came over with her little boy, Hudson. Griffin and Hudson had fun playing with all the toys. They were shaking these green beads together while McKenna and Jace (Katie's little ones) napped away...
Dallas Arboretum
On Tuesday, we headed out to the Dallas Arboretum and met Denise and Dylan, Dena and Hudson and Aurora and Avery. The last day of warm weather was upon us for a week or so, so we took full advantage of the great outdoors...
Griffin is not crazy about the animals... He kept his two feet planted right where you see him and did not touch them or move in at all.


Checking out the pretty flowers

The Arboretum ~ April, 2008
Last year when we went to The Arboretum in April, Griffin had not mastered sitting up independently yet, hence me barely getting him to sit for a picture- I look back, and can not believe how fast time has gone- and how much he has changed!!! This year, I was barely able to get him to sit for a picture because he was WALKING everywhere!!!

What a difference a year makes in a child...

Playing with Avery

My Little Observer

Hudson and Griffin had their snack traps out and decided they wanted to trade

Whatever keeps them happy :-)


Then Hudson decided he wanted some of his snack back

Good Times

Sweet Baby Boy

Sweet Smile- I think he looks a lot like his Daddy here, do you?

Mr. Busy!

I really like that one you took with the curve of line you called that photo "the observer"- love that one!
