Griffin's 3rd Birthday

Griffin is now officially 3, even though he has looked it for about 6 months now!  We had a big party in Colorado since we were there for Dylans baptism.  It was so fun to be able to be with all of our family and with everyone that loves Griffy! 

Festivities started out with a pinata of Lightning  Mcqueen, but I think he liked putting it on people's heads as a hat better than actually hitting it. 
 



His mountain of presents had a theme...Toy Story or Cars...his two obsessions.

 

Oh wait, candy is an obsession too.  Here is he excited about some suckers he got from Russell and Nat



Giving hugs to say Thank you!

What a good birthday!


Now I hardly see Griffin because he shuts himself in his room and acts out all the scenes from Toy Story with Woody.  Yesterday I could hear him saying "Its all because of my stupid hat!" and "Howdy, Howdy, Howdy" in his room.  For some reason 3 seems so much older than 2; he is such a big boy and I am sad but also happy to see him grow up. 
Maelie had a check up yesterday with the Dr.  She is now 17lbs and 25 inches long.  Yay, for growing taller!  She is in the 60th percentile for weight and only the 22nd for height.  Oh well, short people are happy too right?  Because I dont think she will be growing nearly as tall as her brother.  Here are some cute pictures that one of my friends took recently of her.  Most of you have probably already seen them actually, but they deserve a second look :) 

This is Maelie to the T!  She always has this expression on her face!
