More Easter pictures......

I picked up the prints/CD of all of our pictures from Griffin's Easter session. I'll try not to post them all but want to get some of these on here for looking back's sake. 

Turkey Season

Drew finally had time to hunt by himself yesterday and was able to bag a bird! Griffin was pretty interested in it, Duke too.....I spent more time yelling at him to get out of the picture than anything. It won't be long and they will be going together.

Griffin was hysterically laughing....hence the normally absent smile from Drew

 

Busy Weekend

We had a lot going on this weekend. Friday night we stayed in Springfield with Josh and Nicole since Drew and I were attempting The Color Run Saturday morning. It worked out very nice because while we ran the 3 miles, they went for a nice breakfast and were able to pick us up when we were finished. I didn't hear how many people exactly were there but it was in the thousands. Parking was awful.

Although we discussed making this a run/walk, like Forrest Gump, we just kept running......until all of the sudden we were done. We had a lot of fun. It started at 9am. We didn't make it to the start line until 9:39 and finished at 10:07.

Once we showered we headed to Grandma Delores' new place. It's very exciting that she decided to move to Springfield and is now only an hour away. We had lunch at the jam packed Golden Corral (Grandma's choice), and made a quick stop at Lowe's so that Drew could hang 97 pictures. We are looking forward to seeing her quite often.

That evening we made it back in time for a BBQ at Trevor and Ashley's. Griffin got to roast a marshmallow or 12 for the first time. None were edible. The last baby due for our group of friends was born just a couple weeks ago so it was our first get together with everyone having a baby in tow.

Happy Easter!

We spent the morning of Good Friday at the dentist. Griffin had his first exam (with only minimal screaming, I could change his attitude by asking him to say "ahhhh" which he did) and we also learned some good techniques for brushing his teeth. After that, I got to sit in the chair for a hour and a half or so for 2 fillings. That afternoon Griffin met a little chick and a bunny for Easter pictures this year. 

Just a sneak peek for now, should have them all in a couple weeks:

 

Afterward we took a few pics in the yard while doing chores, since that is where Griffin wants to be if the weather is nice. 

The Easter craft this year was an idea stolen from the creative world of internet:

Yesterday, Griffin sat through most of church like a big boy and even "danced" to the choir singing. We enjoyed lunch at Drew's grandparents.

Grammy will be so happy to have a good pic finally

Flashback to last year's Easter photos which I either failed to post or just can't find where I did! He was 8ish months then.
