Queasy Stomachs BEWARE

Darren had a little accident this weekend with a dresser and a bed of a truck. He was helping Kelly and Sterling move-in this weekend and when they were unloading the dresser he slipped and his pinky finger got caught in between the dresser and the bed of the truck. Sterling and him had it bandaged when he came into the house but I insisted he went to the ER. While in the ER he took a few picturs for me so I could share them with all of you.Blood lots of blood

That white stuff in the middle is his fat, in case you were wondering

8 Stitches is what it took to sew him up.

A little funny side note is now he is very proper when he drinks, pinky up

You just can't leave me alone

Whose hair could that possibly be?It's Bryan's. Here is his before. and here is the after. I admit that I cut it too short, but his hair grows pretty fast.

I really like it though. His hair is alot lighter than I thought. What a handsome little man.

Brian Regan

Seriously one of the funniest Comedians out there. Darren and I saw Brian Regan on Saturday it was pretty awesome. I would have to say his brother was as good if not better. If you would like to hear his brother his name is Dennis Regan. It was nice to have a night out without children. THANK YOU, THANK YOU Big Bryan and Liz.

Embarrassing things I say

Embarrassing might be an understatement. But I will admit it was pretty funny. I was telling Haylie goodbye because Big Bryan and Liz were Babysitting our little rugrats so we could go to BRIAN REGAN. Well Haylie didn't want us to go so I thought of the first toy that came to mind and said "Haylie go play with Davin's balls". Open mouth insert foot. I am such a dork.

All About Bryan

I usually post about Haylie so I decided to do a post only about Bryan. Look at that little ham, he is such a happy little boy.Not so much a good smile but he does look a wee bit wasted. hehe
Here we are on the couch, can you tell he is more interested in the T.V.
Aunt Heather has him here and guess what he is still interested in more than the camera

I think we tuckered him out. It doesn't take much I wished that was the way with another child of mine.

Okay so I am lame but all the pictures are of Bryan.

YEAH ME!!!

I am sticking with weight loss and have lost 3.5 lbs. in a week. That is almost twice of what I originally wanted to lose in a week, so YAHOO!!! I can do this. I have been watching my calorie intake better and also making sure I exercise everyday either strength or cardio. Just one day at a time. Wish me luck.

Camera Found

I have found the camera. Okay it wasn't me who found it. I'll give you a hint on who did though. Just check the images below. Have an idea yet

How about now.

Any idea, if you don't have it by now maybe you need your eyes checked.

If you guessed Haylie you are right. I went to check on Haylie this morning and Magically the camera has been found. That Little STINKER!

Biggest Loser Challenge

I know you have all seen the weight loss ticker at the top of my blog and are wondering why I am posting what I weigh. Two reasons actually, The Griffith family is having a Biggest Loser Competition minus a few people and second If I know that everyone can see my weight I will have more incentive to lose weight. To be 211 is embarrising so I am going to do something about it. I am hoping to lose at least 2 lbs or more a week. I am going to make the change to never weight this much again. EVER!!! Wish me luck.

Little updates

Okay so I have officially lost my camera. We have done some really fun things though, such as going to the Zoo with Liz, Davin, Amy and Siley ( I hope I spelled that right). We had a ton of fun letting the kids pet the goats, playing on the toys and splashing about at the water pad. I loved watching the kids play they are very funny. I am truly grateful for Liz and Amy and the amazing friends they are. We are so blessed to have them in our lives. Thanks Liz and Amy for coming to the Zoo with the Kids and I.

The Park

We are very blessed having a park so close to home. It definitely helps get out those extra wiggles with Haylie.Swings, always has to swing.
Climbing is very important

But the best thing ever is the slide.

Bryan's Baby Blessing

We blessed Bryan on Sunday. It was alot of fun having family in town. We miss those who were unable to make it.

Bryan and Steel in their matching outfits. 2months to 2weeks Bryan is a definitely my chunky monkey. Bryan and Grandma the Great.

Bryan in his blessing outfit. Out of all the pictures I took this one was my favorite. He is saying don't mess with my swagger.

The Melser's.

That's my big man and my little man.

Four Generations. Grandpa the Great, Darren, Grandpa Griffith and Bryan

The Men who helped with the blessing. From left to right: Grandpa the Great, Grandpa Griffith, Sterling Palmer, Travis Melser, Levi Melser, Chuck Melser, Darren holding Bryan, and Papa Melser.

I am really thankful for those that came and those who helped with brunch.

New Bathing Suit

I bought Haylie a new suit for summer and since I needed to know if it would fit why not take a few pictures. I am bad I decided to go with a two piece because if I am going to have to deal with potty training I need easy access. By the way it is one with a life vest that you can tak on or off.

Thatcher and new pics

This last weekend I went and stayed in Thatcher. I say weekend but it really turned into a almost a week. I am okay with that. I love my parents and I am kind of attached. We went up on Friday and planned on staying til Monday, well that turned into Tuesday and Tuesday turned into Wednesday. It was a ton of fun just hanging out with my parents and I am pretty sure my kids loved it. While there I saw a cute dress for Haylie so I bought and made some cute bows to go with it. Since I am getting slack for not posting to many pics of the little ones I took a few pictures of them after church. The last one is my favorite.

This how I like to shop...

I think the picture explains it all. It is a little bit difficult shopping with two. When I noticed they were both sleeping, let me just say Hallelujah!!

Wubbzy vs. Mouse

Vs.

Haylie LOVES Mickey Mouse but she may have a new favorite, Wow, Wow Wubbzy. I got sick of watching Mouse everyday all day so I decided to find a new channel. Noggin is great it plays kid friendly shows all day, which is great so I don't have to turn on the DVR all the time. ( Hallejuah ). It has become rather hilarious watching Haylie debate if she wants Mouse or Wubbzy, she changes her mind frequently. Turn on Mouse no Wubbzy. Turn on Wubbzy no Mouse. That's my goob.

Happy Birthday Haylie

Haylie's B'day was Feb. 16 and now that things have calmed down just a little bit I can post. We took Haylie to Amazing Jake's with Kelly, Sterling and Kyrsta. Sorry if anyone wanted to come it was just kind of a last minute plan. We had tons of fun playing video games and watching Kyrsta and Halie ride the rides.

Haylie is second in from the left.

HE IS HOME

Hooray he is home. We were able to bring him home on Wednesday. There have already been some interesting moments. For example this is my first boy, so I am not well trained on the shooter. He wasn't even home for 3 hrs. before he got the wall, the changing table, myself and his face. Yes that is right, his face. I hope I'll get this down soon. Well he is in my arms asleep and I am typing with one hand, so I am going to sign off for now.

Baby Bryan News

Okay so I know everyone is waiting for another update on Bryan. As some of you know he is not home yet, but hopefully soon. He has been eating on his own so they took out the feeding tube and they took him off oxygen. We need to wait 24 hours to just make sure he is out of the woods. The nurses say more than likely Wednesday, but we haven't talked to the physician to see what he says. Just keep him in your prayers and we'll pray he comes home sooner rather than later.

Update

Bryan is doing great. He is on a low dosage of oxygen, still is breathing faster than he should, and is on antibiotics. We are hoping he will be getting out on Monday, if all goes well. Will post more when we know more.

New Baby Boy

Today we welcomed Bryan Naylor Griffith into the world. Born at 12:40 p.m., weighing 6 lbs 14 ounces and 19.5 inches long. I am doing fine, but the baby is having some breathing problems. Hopefully I will be able to go and see him real soon.Last belly shot Cute little Bryan, and yes that is a full head of brown hair.
He really does look like Haylie

He is just to cute.

Hooray, TODAY!!!

I am going in for my C-section today. Hooray. I am very excited to see Bryan and excited to not be carrying around this extra weight. Not so much excited for recovery though, but we will see. Wish me LOTS of luck.

Christmas Day

For Christmas we spent it in Gilbert with Kelly and Sterling in the morning Grandma and Grandpa Griffith in the afternoon. I realized our camera was not working so great a few days before Christmas, so I only got a few shots. On Christmas morning we had to wake Haylie up. Weird huh waking a kid up for Christmas. We decided we would only open up a few presents on Christmas day because we were doing Christmas on the Jan. 4 with all of Darren's fam.

Poor Haylie just wanted some sleep

Waking up is hard to do

She warmed up to presents eventually

My new "gun"

Darren's new gun. Yes that is an assault rifle.

Haylie sure loves her mouse.

To finish Griffith Breakfast Morning would not be complete without some yummy Chorizo
