Happy Birthday Tyler

So Tyler turned 7 on Saturday. I can't believe it, he is growing up so fast. My parents came from Utah to surprise him and he was in shock. They hid in my room and when Tyler got home from school I told him that there was something in my room for him. He walked in and just stood there like are they real. He gave them a big hug and was so happy. We weren't sure if my momwas going to make it because she just had new surgery 3 weeks ago but her doctor okayed her to come. We had a party Friday night with some friends and then he went to Amazing Jakes(like chucky cheese) with a few friends on Saturday. So Friday night we played superstar and we took this video of Madison she wanted to sing a long to. He was so cute. Tyler had a great day and was excited to Grandma and Grandpa. All the kids enjoyed the visit. My mom did the girl's nails and hair and they really enjoyed it. Thanks again Mom and Dad for coming, it meant alot to Tyler. Enjoy the pictures.

I also forgot to tell about his cake. He wanted a spongebob cake and I decided to try and make my own. So with my mom's help we tried to duplicate the one at the store. It looked great.

Stock Show 2009

So friday my friend and I took the kids to see the Denver Stock Show. It was so much fun. The kids got to play and run out a lot of energy. They got up close with a lot of animals. We had a really good time. We came back and had a big slumber party because both our husbands were out of town.

Nothing new in our lives. Rusty is working a lot and has been to LA the past week. He is home now YEAH!!!!!!! We really missed him. Tyler will be 7 on Saturday so I will post pictures of that. I hope all is well with our family and friends.

6 Quirks

So Mandy tagged me. 6 Quirks about me.

1. I am a little OCD about my house. I like a clean picked up house. I am constantly picking up after the kids. I shouldn't care but I do. Even the car. I hate a dirty car.

2. I love to dress my girls up. They are like baby dolls to me. They are so much fun.

3. I love my computer. I am always on it. Either blogging or just surfing. My new favorite site is facebook.

4. I always make my bed. I know crazy, I can't stand it if it is not made.

5. I have a new hobby of making cards and tags. So much fun.

6. I get my nails done. I know I am selfish but that is one thing I do for myself. I love it and it makes me feel good.

So there you go. I tag Jeni, Tammy, Jenny, Andrea, Mom and Lori

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

We had a really good christmas this year. We stayed home and Rusty's parents came to town to see all the family. The girls were really into it this year. They loved opening presents. Tyler was also very excited. He is at a very fun stage in life. The girls on the other hand are a handful but we love them lots. Tyler got a bunch of new nerf guns including the Vulcan, a Optimus Prime transformer and a new mitt for baseball. The girls got new dolls and stroller and a bunch of new movies. I got a new pink laptop!!!!!!!!!!Yeah I can have my own computer now. I also got a new necklace with the kids birthstone on it that is beautiful a gift card to Costco thanks mom and dad and a Miche bag. It is the new handbag that Rusty is shipping. It is really cool. Rusty had a pretty boring christmas. He only got a 2007 F-150 Supercrew Lariat truck. It is really cool. He has wanted a new truck for a very long time and he finally got it. We enjoyed the Christmas Holiday and loved seeing his parents.

My sister Jenny and her family came out for New Years. It has been lots of fun with them here. It has been really low key though. I ended up having surgery on my ovarian cyst on tuesday the 30th. I wanted to get it done before the end of the year so they did it right away. I have been really sore but the recovery has been good. Rusty and everyone have taken really good care of me. We have had a good year and are blessed with good health and a happy family. We love you all and hope you all have a Happy New Year.

Holly's 31st Birthday

So I have the best husband in the whole world. He threw me a surprise birthday party. I was totally shocked. I had my really good friends there and some family. It was so much fun. I had a really great day. We ate at Trappers a really great chop house and then we went to my friends house for the party. I had a big birthday cake and we played games. Rusty planned it all he sent out invites and provided day care for all my friends kids. He really is the best. There was a big problem right before the party, we were suppose to have it at our clubhouse but it had plumbing problems so he moved it to my friends clubhouse. They were informed an hour before the party that it had a water main break. What luck!!!!!!!!!!!! So my friend Tammy opened her house for the party. Thanks Tammy. I had such a good time. The kids gave me a pretty necklace and Rusty gave me a new digital camera that I can carry in my purse. Thank you to everyone who made my day go great. I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost all the pictures:( So i am waiting for some friends to email me. I got some pictures. Enjoy


We also had our 10 year anniversary on the 19th. It was not so great. I was in the ER with abdominal pain and they found very large ovarian cyst. So needless to say I have been in bed all weekend. It should just go away over time but it is very painful. We are planning on a cruise in Feb to celebrate so hopefully that will be better. I love you Rusty and I am glad that I married you 10 years ago. We hope all is well with everyone and hope you all have a great Christmas. We look forward to seeing Grandma and Grandpa Griffin.

Gingerbread House Making

Rusty came home tonight with gingerbread houses to decorate. We had so much fun. The girls enjoyed decorating and eating all the candy. Tyler had his own house and liked to decorate it. He even let his sister's help. We have tried to make this a yearly tradition in our family. So far so good. We hope you are all having a great Holiday Season.

First Snow in Colorado!!!!!!

We finally got snow here in colorado. It snowed on Saturday here in Colorado finally. It was our first snow. This year we bought snow outfits for the girls to play in. So we let them out and they loved it. I took a few photos.

We also enjoyed a nice weekend with my sister Jenny and her family. We had tons of fun. We wished we lived closer. We had a good Thanksgiving. We stayed home this year and I did all the cooking. It was fun. We had Rusty's sister and her daughter Jessie over for dinner. It was nice to have family here. I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.
