We are so happy to have our sweet lil baby boy here with us! He is absolutely perfect and we love him so much. He was a lil work to get here. . .but oh so worth it! Here are a few pics from his awesome Birth Day. . .

Our family anxiously awaiting his arrival . . .Tytan was sooo excited

When Tytan came in and saw Baby Griff for the first time he just looked and him and said "My Baby!" It was so cute!

We love you Baby Griffen! Welcome to our Family!

An Update...

So I haven't updated in FOREVER...surprise surprise. But, we do have some exciting news! Baby Boy number 2 will be here in less than 2 weeks! We're being induced on the 27th and we are soooo excited. Can't wait to post pics of the lil cutie! In the meantime, here are a few random pics from our adventures in the last couple months.

Randall's dad spent some time in the hospital and everytime we went to visit Tytan thought it was his time to be pampered as the 'patient' and watch a movie. Here he is in full relaxation.

Tytan loves his cousins! He and Danica love to give squeezes and kisses so we snapped a pic of them in action. So cute!

Daddy, Tytan, and Uncle Richard all handsomed up for Uncle Edward and Aunt Renelle's wedding. Randall and Richard were the 2 Best Men and they looked dashing in their tuxedos.

Easter Sunday Family Pic. . .I love Tytan's 'Cheese' face! He is so funny.

We stopped by and got Tytan an ice cream cone after one of my doctor's appointments. . .he Loved it! Randall asked him for a bite and instead of sharing, he dipped his finger in the ice cream and then pointed it at Randall for a lil lick. It was hilarious considering he was taking monster bites but didn't want to give Daddy any!

It's a....

BOY! Baby number two has declared himself in clear view. . .and we're so excited that Tytan is going to have a lil brother to be best buddies with! Baby looks great and is growing so fast. Almost half way there!!

New Family Pics...and Some Exciting News!

So it has been AGES since I've posted...I know, I know! Life has been crazy around here! I started a new job at the beginning of November and it is keeping me super busy. It's a really great opportunity and something we thought long and hard about. I'm working more hours now than before, but hopefully in a very short time it will pay off and I will be able to spend more time at home. I mean who wouldn't want more time at home with this cutie?

We decided we were well over due for some family pictures. So, Randall called up our friend Natalie Montes and scheduled a time for our pics. They turned out soooo great! We love them! Natalie rocks and we're so grateful she was able to make our pics. Thanks Natalie!

And Last, but certainly not least...We're expecting! Baby #2 is due May 31st...and we couldn't be more excited. Randall is hoping for a girl and I will be happy with either, but I do have a feeling it's gonna be a girl. We should find out in the next couple of weeks! So excited!

Our adorable lil Pirate had an awesome Birthday Bash with all of his friends and family present. I cannot thank everyone enough for all of the help in decorating the church, preparing the food, and pampering our birthday boy! He had a great time and we partied until late that night with an incredible Dinner, Dancing, Walking the Plank, a Best Dressed Pirate Contest, Pinata, Cotton Candy and much more!

Captain Tytan and Swashbuckler Mommy!

Captain Tytan made an appearance on the top of his Pirate Cake. We were seriously pressed for time, so this is not the cake we had anticipated, but we're just happy we made it there with a cake at all!

All of our Pirate Guests enjoying their Delicious Pirate Dinner which included "Cut-Throat Kebabs" (These were to DIE for...thanks Dad!), "First Mate Fruit Salad", "Peg Leg Corn", "Sea Biscuits" (Another favorite...you're awesome mom!), and "Parrot Potato Salad" (Auntie Dee...you rock!)

Again, tons of thanks to My In laws, My Parents, Randall's cousins and Aunties, My S-I-L Kendra and everyone else who seriously made the party. We couldn't have done it without you! We Love you all!

Houseboat!!

So, I'm sad to say that my dad is selling his share of our awesome Houseboat. We've had some killer times living it up in luxury at Lake Powell, but unfortunately times are tough and none of us manage to find the time or money with young families to head out there. Needless to say, our loss could be your gain! If you are interested in acquiring a share, my Dad is offering an unbelievable price. $10,000 OBO!! We have incredible weeks in June and the Beginning of October (which happens to be the best time...perfect weather and no crowds hoggin the lake!), plus additional lottery weeks. The boat has 4 Bedrooms, all amenities, a huge great room, an upstairs patio, TV's, a water slide off the back of the boat and much more! We have been up there with 4 families at a time, including kids and babies and it's been phenomenal! If you're interested or know anyone who might be looking for an ultimate Family Getaway, call Chuck at 480.694.4818! All offers considered! Thanks!

Ahoy, Matey!

Tytan is getting ready to celebrate his first birthday in September and we're hosting a Pirate Party! So we dressed him up to take some cute Pirate pics for his invitations. Unfortunately, the only way to keep the pirate attire on him, was to occupy his hands with cheese puffs (Wonder where he gets his love for food?!) or he would immediately rip it off. These were just a few of the fun pics we got. This lil matey is always crackin us up!
