Wacky Wednesday At School.

Today is Wacky Wednesday at GES. The kids were supposed to dress to support their favorite Super Bowl football team. We are not football fans here and honestly I do not even know who's playing. Griffin decided to support HIS favorite team ~ the Goochland Bulldogs!

Today Griffin Accepted Christ.

Today in children's church Griffin accepted Jesus Christ into his heart as his Savior. This is such an incredible blessing. Mrs. Judy Hardwood walked him through.

Pinewood Derby - 2013

Griffin had SO much fun at the Pinewood Derby today! He placed 3rd place in the Wolf Den. This year his car was dragon inspired he and Mike shaped it in a very cool design and gave it a pointy front. He painted it green and named it Drago. Way to go buddy!

Our Little Cub Scout.

Griffin would absolutey LOVE to be a big brother ~ he was so gentle and encouraging with Clara today.

Jesus.

Driving to school this morning Griffin had Christmas on his mind. He wondered why we give each other gifts at Christmas when it is Jesus' birthday. Not truly knowing what to say I told him since we could not physically see Jesus we give each other gifts in celebration of His birthday and we remember him on His day and everyday. He said Momma I can see Jesus. I said you can? He said yes I can see him in my heart when I talk to him and pray. I love my boy.

Water Cycle Project

Griffin just finished his Water Cycle Project. This is completely his vision and design. {I did help with the glue gun} I think he did a great job!

It's Snowing!

Mike, Griffin, Jasper & Oliver took some time to play in the snow while I was cooking dinner last night. Love those big, fluffy snowflakes!

King Solomon's Crown

The children's Awana lesson is on King Solomon this week. I asked Griffin if he would make an example of the crown they will make tonight. He was happy to help.

Griffin - A/B Honor Roll

Griffin was recognized this morning at the GES Honors Assembly for achieving "A-B Honor Roll" for the first semester! We are so very proud of him!!

Color Me Mine!

I took Griffin and Sam to Color Me Mine today. Griffin chose to paint a shark and Sam chose a gecko. I loved watching the boys paint!!

Science Museum Of Virginia

We had a wonderful time at the Science Museum of Virginia with Sam and Carol Hall! We lucked into seeing the Guiter Exhibit, today was the last day it is going to be on display. It was so cool!! Then we enjoyed a donut at Krispy Kreme before heading home.

Wish I Could Do This!

Don't you wish you could do this?

The Falcon Is Fixed.

I have a very patient husband. The other day Griffin dropped his Millenium Falcon and it broke into 1,254 pieces. {well, practically} Mike sat down with him today for over 3 hours to repair the damage. He has far more patience than I do. They just finished putting it back together. Thank you Mike for being such a wonderful Daddy to Griffin.

Yum ~ Broccoli Cheese Soup

We went to Kroger yesterday to get the ingredients to make The Pioneer Woman's broccoli soup.

When we got there we found their fresh gourmet "Broccoli Soup With Aged Cheddar" on sale over in the deli section. After thinking about it for maybe a second we decided to get that instead.

Good choice!
It was delicious!!
Griffin had never had broccoli soup before.



We even served it in bread bowls and topped it with fresh sharp cheddar cheese. It's the first time since his surgery that Griffin really ate much of anything.

Our family definitely gives it a big thumbs up!!

Griffin's Artwork

Griffin's artwork was on display in the Goochland Elementary hallway.

They Love The Trampoline.

I think these guys enjoy Griffin's trampoline as much as he does. Thinking about getting G a full size one for his birthday and the boys can enjoy the little one to wrestle and lounge on.

Griffin's Millineum Falcon.

Griffin just now completed his Lego Millennium Falcon! All 1,254 pieces ~ give or take a few pieces. He's so happy! It took alot of patience and time to get it together. Great job, Buddy!

Merry Christmas 2012

Christmas 2012 ~ this guy had a wonderful Christmas morning!!

Griffin Gave Me The Most Thoughtful Gift

This is the most wonderful and thoughtful gift I have ever received. Griffin goes to Awana at our church and the children earn Awana bucks for various things (knowing bible verses, wearing their uniform, having their bible, etc.) Last week they had the Awana store where the children could spend their Awana bucks to buy gifts for their family members. My sweet and thoughtful little boy bought this for me. Last week when we were in the car he had told me he had bought me the most beautiful thing in the world. He was right. It is THE most beautiful thing I've ever seen and I will treasure it forever.

Surgery For Our Guy.

We are home and Griffin made it through surgery like a champ. He had his adnoids and tonsils removed. He's resting on the couch with Daddy and watching the first Star Trek movie. He's staying hydrated by eating lots of popsicles, drinking water and eating baby bites of applesauce.
