Today the twins turned 2. Wow how time flies. I can not believe they are already two. We had a good day. This morning we played outside even though it was cold and rainy. They got a new playhouse and slide for their birthday and they love it. We then went to get party supplies and had lunch. We then came home for a nap and the party started at three. We had some really good friends from the ward come and we had a great time. Over all I think they had a great day. They are so fun to have and we are lucky they are a part of our lives. We love them very much. Enjoy the pictures.

Happy Memorial Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today we went down to Colorado Springs to put flowers on Great Grandpa Poulton's grave at the Airforce Academy. We had a really good time. Tyler was really excited he said that he remembers Great Grandpa. We told the girls all about him, not that they understand. We put flowers on the grave and then went and saw the big airplane that was on display there. I am posting some of our pictures of the journey. We love and miss Grandpa and we hope that Grandma enjoy's the pictures. We love and miss you too. We were glad we were able to do this for you.

I am also posting pictures of the girls at dinner, they decided to put the food all over their faces.

We love and miss you all.

Happy 30th Birthday Rusty!!

Wow Rusty is 30 he is so old. We had a good day. Even though it was Mother's Day it was a great day. We woke up to Madison sick she had thrown up all over, so Rusty stayed home and I took Tyler and Mia to church. Then we just had a relaxing day at home. Last night we went with some friends to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and then bowling. It was great fun. I haven't bowled forever.

Tyler finished is Soccer season and got his trophy on Saturday. He is a pro. He loves soccer and is really getting good. There are a couple of pictures of Mia that I am posting, she was posing for the camera right after church. She is so darn cute.

I am also posting a picture of the cake I made for Rusty and him and Tyler blowing out of the candles.

The big highlight this weekend was I finally got a storm door for my front door. Rusty installed it yesterday and I love it. I am not sure about the GLASS the girls have already marked it all up. It will be a daily clean up at night I am sure. I have wanted a storm door ever since we moved in and finally got one. We even got one for the back door but that will have to be next weekends project. Our house is finally coming together after two years. Rusty has painted it and we have added some new pictures.

I just want to shout out to my mom Happy Mother's Day. She is the best mom in the whole world. I love and miss her. She is a great mom and a even better grandma. I love you mom and hope that you have a great day.

BLONDE!!!!!!

So on Saturday I went to get my hair colored and cut. I asked to have my highlights done and a trim. Well from the pictures you can tell I am now blonde and have shorter hair. She cut off about 6 inches and put a little too much blonde in. Rusty really likes it but I am still trying to get use to it. The girls looked at me kind of weird for the first time and Tyler was like "Wow mom you went blonde". So needless to say I may not be going back there again. Since I have moved to Denver I have not been able to find a good hair person. Hopefully soon I will. I hope all is well with everyone. Love and miss you all.

Love

I am also posting some pictures of Great Grandma Poulon with Madison. She came with Brenda to take care of the kids after my surgery. She was a great help. Madison was sitting on the couch with her. It was a precious moment.

Family Update

Hello all!!!

It has been awhile since I wrote last. It has been a busy month. We went out to Memphis Tennesse to see Rusty's parents for Tyler's spring break. We had a good time. Rusty got to spend some quality time with his dad and the kids got to see grandma and grandpa and even great grandma. We went to the zoo and to a pizza palace place. It was great fun. Rusty and I went to Graceland one day and that was really neat. It was cool to see all of Elvis's stuff and gravesite. Rusty got to go to the shooting range with his dad and shoot some guns. They had a great time.

The week we got back I had surgery on my tonsils and my septum. It was a very hard time for me. Rusty's mom and grandma came out to take care of the kids. It was a great help. I had the surgery on Thurs April 3rd and by Saturday I was miserable. I could not eat or swallow and was having a hard time breathing. So I went to the ER and come to find out I was severly dehydrated and my throat was swelling up and it was causing me not to breath. My oxygen level was down in the 40's and it should be in the upper 90's so I was on oxygen and they admitted me right away. I spent the next two and half days in the hospital. It was really nice because I could rest and try to get better. But I really missed the kids and my own bed. I am doing better now but I still can't eat very well and have a hard time swallowing. I hope to be better by the end of the week.


Tyler started soccer and loves it. Good old dad is coaching him. He is a great player and loves to be outside. He only has about a month left till he is done with school and with kindergarten. He is growing up so fast. He loves school and likes to play with friends.


Mia and Madison have found a new passion in life. OUTSIDE!!! They love to be out side playing. They love the park and all the fun stuff there. They go to to door and say out all day long. We are thinking of getting them a playhouse to play in. They are all over the place and talk like crazy. They are both starting to get hair and it is fun to do.


So that is a quick family update. I will try and get some pictures posted soon.

Love to all our family and friends.


Thanks to all those who have called me and checked up on me, it was really hard to be in the hospital and not have family around. The flowers were great and brightened my day.


Love the Griffin's

I have added some pictures of the girls and Tyler. Tyler is with our dog Reba she is a great dog. The girls have their pony tails in. They love them, they call them their pretty's. All enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
