Life As A Griffin: New Month

Well my summer goals of blogging have pretty much become extinct and honestly I have not a one good excuse... OOPS. Pinterest, FB and Netflix/Hulu not to mention a pool right outside my front door and a beach 40ish min away have taken priority. Oh I've done other things too, but this summer has been one great relaxation. I decided that I should at least be recording some things to remember. I have become ADDICTED to pinterest, as most of the girls in today's world. But because I waste too much time 'pinning' and not actually doing, I decided to do a month of Pinterest in the making. Which is to try a new recipe and either a craft or an activity a day. August is a super busy month so I'm not going to guarantee that I will do one EVERY day but every day that I am home I hope to accomplish something. I have begun the packing process (for those of you who don't know, we moved back to California for the summer so Brandon could sell pest control. He is doing VERY well and we will probably return to the company next year) but now that the summer is starting to come to a close, I am heading back to Logan to find an apartment and get settled. I am also going to Dallas, Texas and Lake Powell for a few trips. I will miss Brandon, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Here is a little update in our lives.

This was the start of our California adventure.

I wish I had taken more pictures but here is a picture of Tylee and I on the airplane. As you can see, we got a seat with no window :( and Tylee got super tuckered out. She was very good on the plane though. We had books, snacks, coloring items and of course the 'fuzzy' we don't go anywhere without that item. This is also one of the last pictures that you will see of Tylee with a binky in her mouth.

We found a yummy little mexican joint that everybody loved.

She is growing up way too fast. I found this super cute hat that I just couldn't pass up at old navy. She has gotten quite the attitude. She is so much fun I can't even stand it. I love this little stinker so much!!!!

One word!!! Potty-trained. Or maybe thats two! One of the biggest accomplishments this summer has been getting the little one out of diapers and into panties. If you can't tell by the picture of them on her head.... she is really silly and loves to laugh and have fun. She is always doing something that cracks me up. Even if its something that could make me REALLY mad like making a huge mess. She usually says something that makes me turn around to hide my laugh!

I did mention that the beach is very close to us this summer didn't I?! We love it here.. even if this beach is jacket worthy. The ocean is so calming and peaceful. Not to mention it is a great place to go play in some sand. Here are a few pictures of us at the beach!
