Aly, Addie and Jack - Oh My

Been a while since we last chatted but Alyson is ready to update all of her fans.

This is a picture from last weekend. Carrie, Jack's mom turned 30 and Jason turned 28 and we had a little party to celebrate. Wanted to get out on the lake but some badly needed rain arrived - so inside for fun!!!

Addie is turning 1 this coming week and Jack is now 4 months and Alyson almost 9. The girls you can see were fighting over Jack - More fun to look forward too....

You haven't played Guitar Hero

Well - Mark and Kirsten traveled back from Thailand to visit family and friends over the past few weeks. They were able to find some time in their crazy schedules to head out to Chaska to meet Miss Alyson.



They brought a gift which was priceless - A few matchbox cars for Aly to drool - Guess Aly's mom used to drool all over Mark's cars.

Well Grandma and Grandpa Griffin had a fun gift for them - A watercolor of the place they were married that Dad did. It was such a precious gift.

And then we had some fun playing Guitar Hero - and boy did they enjoy that. Aly had gone to bed so the adults could have some fun.

Miss you guys - come back to visit soon.

8 Months - Our little Sailor

Well here I am on my 8th month birthday. I thought it would be fun to have my picture out at the lake as I love to be outside or in the water swimming.

Mom has a lot more pictures to get online but enjoy this one of me - oh so cute!!!

7 months and cuter everyday

Alyson is reaching new milestones everyday and we have to share the lastest as you view the photoshoot of her this past weekend. For one - she broke gums for her 1st tooth earier in the week - on her Great Granny Griffin's Birthday none the less. We also starting clapping a few days after our 7 month bithday and are really close to giving a high-five. As for the walking - she is getting stronger everyday. She is close to sprinting with anyone that will walk with her. And drink from a sippy cup when we give her food and than the second tooth appeared this evening - just two little buds now in the bottom of her mouth.

Pool Party Time

So I really like it when mom takes vacation from work because then we have fun together. Especially with cousin Anna and Auntie Julie. It was really hot on Friday according to mom - over 90 degrees. I didn't care because I got to play in the pool with Anna. We had lots of fun sharing toys. I really like the water now that mom got me the swimmer diapers. They work great.

Jack and Aly

Well I know all of you have been waiting patiently and here he is - Jack - AKA: John David Gleason. He arrived a few weeks early back in April so we have not really had a chance to play a lot yet but we had a fun time. Our moms had a chance to get us together while our daddies worked hard to get Jack's mom and dad's home ready for renovation. It was a fun day and Grandma Peg was around to join in the fun.

I'm a Cowgirl

With my special tee-shirt that Grandma Sue sent from Montana with Grandpa Jess - Look at me.

Grandpa Jess came for a visit over Memorial Weekend. We had some fun while he was here playing with my toys and talking a lot. It was hard to see him go but I will get to see him soon this summer when mom and dad take me back to North Dakota to see Great Grandma B.
