Boys and Toys

Jameson stayed the night last weekend. It snowed
a little, so he helped Monte plow. There
was hardly enough snow to justify getting the plow
out, but boys and their toys need I say more!!!


Jameson and Monte hard at work?


Hanging out with Uncle Monte.


I can't tell if Jameson is pointing to his brain or
eating his bugers that are no doubt running
down his face, but nonetheless he is enjoying
himself.


Uncle Monte and Jameson giving me their
best cheese!


Jameson upstaging Uncle Monte in the cheese
department.

The outtakes: it seems natural that it would be
difficult to get the 2 year old to cooperate, but
I wasn't expecting such difficulty from the 41 year old!!

Okay, this would be a cute one if it weren't for
the hand in the face.

If this Monte's best "natural" smile, I don't think
we will be having a wedding photographer.


I have no comment for this one....

Looking Back

Now that we have rung in the New Year, I thought
that this would be a good oportunity to take a look
back at the past year and some of the things that
the Griffin (and a Ross) family did before the we
started the blog. We wish everyone prosperity
and joy in the year to come.

Camping at Huckleberry for Monte's Birthday:
It was a blast having everyone camping.

Back Row: Linda (Monte's mom), Jim (Monte's Stepdad)
Donna (Linda's sister).
Front Row: Grandma Schultz (Linda and Donna's mom),
Leroy (Donna's husband)


Monte and Grandma enjoying the shade.


The boys concentrating on a map of the area.

Monte, Zachary (my nephew) and Jeffrey, the
boy from the next campsite over putting up a
the tent.

We made a trip to Avery, ID and Zach got
himself in trouble and got put in jail. It was a
good thing that Monte has some big muscles
and could get him out!!!

As the girls would say this is my BFF(best friend
forever) Krista. She visited this summer. The
baby is her new neice Cora Luanne. Isn't she a cutie
pie?


Michelle showing Jameson how
to use his new tee ball set on his
second birthday. For those of you
that are into scenary take a peek
at the background. Classic Palouse
country.

swings before the birthday party gets started.
