Christmas Pictures!





I'm sure most of you have already seen these adorable pictures of Sophie on Britty's page, but as her proud mother, I must post them on mine! This was the funnest photo session I think i've done with her. Sophie was both cooperative and hilarious! She thought she was the neatest thing prancing around Britty's studio with all eyes on her. It was a crack up! Britty once again did an amazing job!

Okay, Okay, Okay

So it's been awhile already! So So Sorry! I seemed to have gotten caught up in the swing of the holidays and completely let down my fellow bloggers and family members who visit us here. Again, so Sorry! Just so you know, one of my Resolutions this New Year is to keep this little journal up to date. So here we go....

We have had a busy few months with the holidays and birthdays so I will try and catch up with out seeming to out dated. Let's start with Thanksgiving! It was Grandma and Grandpa G's year to have the whole clan together and it was a blast. Tons of people and tons of food. Then it was home for some shut eye for the early morning excursion of shopping on black friday. What a rush! I was up and at Walmart by 3:30 AM! Some of you might think "NutSo", but if you knew all the great deals I got, you'd be saying "take me, take me". I'm just saying! Anyway, moving on... We also did a Thanksgiving dinner at our house later in the month with our kids. It sure was fun. We really missed having Amy, Ryan, & Cody here though. It's always fun when we're all together. Bridger really wanted to have the Turkey on the table and then cut it when we were all seated. It was hilarious! Something he usually only see's in the movies. So we granted his wish. It was so fun to watch Jackson's little face observing the whole thing. To much fun! During our ever so delicious meal, Sophie decided to get sick and throw up. That was a blast. A quick appetite supressant for those who don't have kiddos. It usually doesn't faze me though, or Britty. We both jumped up and started cleaning puke off the floor and table so we could finish our food before it got to cold. lol Again, to much Fun!

Trick-or-Treat


Smile to melt your HeaRT!

Bridger thinks he's a real Football player when he puts on this costume. He was a big hit. Everybody would call him Steve Young!

Bailey is a DIE Hard RedSox fan!



Sophie luved seeing all her friends dressed up! She thought it was funny.



I hope you all had an enjoyable Trick-or-Treat day! We here at the Griffiths household had an amazing one! The kiddos had a blast and they all looked so good in there costumes. The school did a costume parade in the afternoon. It was fun to go and see all the kids dressed up. Sophie had a good time pointing at all the kids walking by saying "yook mama". Then it was home for trick-or-treating from 5 until 8. They boys got so much stinkin candy! I can't believe some of the things people give out these days! They had everything from cans of soda pop to tubes of toothpaste. It was an adventure to be "Treat Police" this morning inspecting there bags to look for treats that were bad. They had full size candy bars! Seriously! I must be cheap! But even with all that sugar they were in bed by bedtime. It was a good day! Sophie was a crack up once again. She caught right onto the whole thing. It was so funny to watch her march up to the door and open her bag. She would say "cheat" (treat) and then stand there waiting. She didn't quite get why they would drop it in her bag and not "openis" (open this) for her. It was so much fun just watching her. It gets me excited for next year and I don't much care for Halloween! The only thing missing from our day was visiting Spiderman (Jackson) & our little Monkey (Max)! Until next year....

Pumpkin Carving Fun!

Don't we all luv carving pumpkins? Well, I used to before I was responsible for cleaning up the mess! Those stringy pumpkin guts and seeds end up in places you'd never imagine. Oh, but how much fun and excitement for the kiddos (and David)! We had a good time, especially cracking up at Sophie. She had her first ever encounter with mushy gushy pumpkin guts. She played with them, tasted them, and threw them everywhere. It was a hoot watching her! The boys also enjoyed gutting them. They were making gross comments all night about the guts and what they felt like and smelled like. It was a blast! They are so excited for it to get dark so we can light them up for the world to see. I hope you all have as much fun carving yours as we did ours.

This is Funny!



My friend Melissa introduced me to this commercial. I had never seen it before now. I could seriously sit and watch this all day laughing my head off! I luv it!

Tu Tu's, Tu Tu's, and more Tu Tu's



It started out by just making a Tu Tu for Britty to take Sophie's pictures in. But 942 yards of tulle later, we have Tu Tu's coming out the WaZOo! I just couldn't stop and they are becoming quite the hit. I'm still working on the web page to display all the many shapes, sizes, and colors, but i'll let you all know when it's up. It has been so fun, yet crazy at the same time. Check out these pictures! Not only is Sophie the cutest thing ever, but Britty does such an amazing job with the photography.

Long Time, No Post!

Holy Cow, time flies by so quickly these days. I knew I had blown my weekly post but I hadn't relized it had been over a month. Sorry guys! So here's an update. Sophie and I just got over the stomach yuckies and hopefully nobody else will have to encounter them. Dan, Jackson, and Max all had it the week before, so I think it's had it's fun with the Griffiths Clan. David went right over to GoodEarth the morning after we got sick and stocked up on all kinds of potions. Poor Sophie smelled like a Pizzaria with all the garlic we rubbed on the bottom of her tiny feet. We couldn't help but laugh about it. It's amazing how you can rub that stuff on and within minutes you can taste it in your mouth. WoW! Glad we're done with that. Other than that, we're all still going about our daily routines. The boys are enjoying school, still, and David is working harder than ever. Lots of good things are happening with the business. Cody is doing amazing as always! He just got made Senior Companion. We were so thrilled when we got the letter. How blessed we are to have such an amazing missionary in our family. He is such a great example to all of us, especially the kiddos. We're very anxious for Halloween to get here. Well, i'm anxious to get it over with, but the kids are so excited to get all dressed up. The boys were invited to a Halloween party this past weekend and since we've been moving in slow motion lately, we still hadn't gotten them costumes yet. David dug out the football stuff for Bridger and poor Bailey was convinced to be a "Girl", yes, that's right, I dressed my son up in my clothes and he was a "Girl". It was hilarious. He didn't even have to wear a wig. His full head of hair was easy to work with. Sophie is going to be a Witch for Halloween. She is so cute. I can't wait for you all to see! Well, i'm going to sign out for now, but I promise i'll do better about posting. Luv you all!
