The low down...

So I have been off line lately, a little crazy in our house hold and keeping busy. Griffin finally had a successful sweat test and good news, NO cystic fibrosis. We knew that he didn't have it, but the weight that was lifted to hear the negative results was enormous. On the other hand, he does need to have his tonsils removed but not until he turns 3. We are not thrilled about that, but all his other health problems are really under control and he is doing great. My baby girl is just growing so fast, rolling over, laughing and trying so desperately to talk. So you are wondering what we have been doing...


Riding the Merry Go Round at the mall (it was much more exciting to look at then to ride)



Taking in a Diamondbacks game, nachos, hot dogs, popcorn and all...


Riding out the backyard...
Raking in the yard...
Taking in a little batting practice...
And a good old game of peek-a-boo..

tagged...

My friend Jessamyn tagged me on her blog so here are my 7 facts about me:

1. Tim and I didn't live together until the 7th week of our marriage because I was in Flagstaff student teaching and he was in Texas for training when he was activated in the national guard.
2. I am ambidextrous.
3. Sara means princess so in high school and college I got massive amounts of "princess" things from friends and family and I was not able to part with most, so now it is proudly displayed in McKenna's room.
4. When I was pregnant with Griffin I could not get enough peanut butter. I would take giant spoon fulls at a time, and mainly on my way to work, so Tim would just laugh at the collection of spoons that he would find at the end of the week in the car. I guess that is why Griffin is allergic, he was swimming in peanut butter for 9 months.
5. I am an ice tea aholic.
6. When my mom went to NAU she lived in the dorm Cowden, then when I was there I lived in Cowden for 1 semester, and now my sister Rachel is on her way up there and, you guessed it, she is also living in Cowden.
7. I only have black and white pictures and art work displayed in our house.

A camping we will go

We were able to get out of town and head up to the mountains to enjoy an unplugged and relaxing few days. It rained alot, but it was a great experience to see Griff get out there and play and explore, so here is his story...


Here is our campsite, that is papa's "cramper"



Here is what it looked like from the cramper, it was very green


I liked to touch the pine needles



My favorite part of the weekend was riding the quad with papa and daddy



Mama took this picture when daddy was talking to papa and I hit the gas and daddy was not ready for it...



That was silly!



I helped get the fire pit ready for the fire, while I drank root beer and daddy and papa drank big "root beer"



Mama and Granya made smores for me, but I only wanted the chocolate...



On Sunday, Granya and Papa went for rides on their quads, so me, Mama, Daddy and "My Kenna" went for a walk to explore... We found logs to walk across,



We found a lot of yellow flowers and a creek, so I went and splashed in the water...



We met a few new friends,

I had a fun weekend "cramping" and we slept most of the way home.
