Happy Father's Day!

We wanted to say Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dads in our family!
Daddy & Griffin
Griffin & Pop Pop
Griffin & Uncle Jason
Grandpa & Me


Swinging ...

Once we put Griffin in the swing he points to the other swing and says, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy" (very matter of factly) until I swing with him. He gets excited when we swing at the same pace!

St. Mary's Glacier

Josh took Thursday off so we could spend time together as a family; something that doesn't happen very often since I usually have class on the weekends. We hiked at St. Mary's Glacier ...

Listening to the water fall


Stella was so excited to find snow in June ...
... and Griffin loved watching her play!


Griffin was so tired after the hike he couldn't even finish his lunch!

Griffin's 2nd Haircut


Once again, getting his hair cut in a race car helped distract him ...

Combing his hair (he likes to help out whenever he can these days)

The whole time he has his eye on the prize ...

Driving the fire truck after he was done! Fire trucks are his 2nd favorite things these days (buses are still #1 though!). Josh and I like to think (or hope?) that we're somewhere on his list of things he loves, but so far it's really any type of transportation that gets him excited!

Bath Time


This makes us laugh ...

Celebrating the end of studying ... (for now)

We had some friends over to celebrate Josh taking his first CFA exam a few weeks ago. He had been studying around the clock for about 9 months, so it was a huge relief to be able to hang out with friends after the test. Thanks to everyone for their support, and to the Troges for babysitting Griffin constantly while I was in school and Josh was studying!
The obligatory attempted picture of Isaac and Griffin together ... again, impossible to get a good one!

Griffin being silly

Griffin thinks it's hilarious to cover his face with his blankie and run around the house ... he's quite the thrill seeker! We thought it was funny so thought we'd share!

Griffin Watering Flowers

Griffin loves to help out lately and watering flowers is his favorite chore.

As you can see, he still doesn't understand the flower part of the chore, but the watering can sure is fun! He repeatedly pours it on the concrete and asks for more over and over again!



After some coaching, he got it down!

Memorial Day Picnic

We shared Memorial Day with friends, but unfortunately with it being one week before Josh's test, he had to sit in the corner of our picnic and study. Griffin thought that was ridiculous and tried to rescue him ...


It's nearly impossible to get Isaac, Griffin, and Cohen together in one picture, but Sparrow does seem to draw them in pretty well!
And so does her iPhone!
