The kids are off to Kentucky!! :(

I have to say that I am one sad Gigi!!! Little did I know that it would be so difficult to say goodbye to these little grandkids when we agreed to let them stay with us for a few months. It was almost as difficult as if I gave birth to them myself. Oh yeah....I will miss you too Meagan and Brent. All kidding aside. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to have them all stay with us for these past few months and as hard as it was to all be in the same household at times, I know that I was so lucky to be able to bond with my grandkids! They are so special to us and I really am exicted for them to be able to start a new chapter in their lives. Thanks for staying with Gigi and Poppi for a while and come back soon to visit! We love you and miss you so much!

Happy Birthday Emy!

Our little Emy is almost one! Her birthday is actually on July 26th, but we celebrated early since she will be gone on her birthday. She had so much fun eating her cake! What a big girl!

Grandma Shar was there too! Everyone was so nice to come celebrate.

Emy looked soooo cute in her TuTu. She loved it and loved having everyone sing to her. She loves the attention.

I am going to miss my little bundle of joy! Have fun in Kentucky Emy and I will see you soon!

Our camping Trip to Farragut.

We were able to squeeze a camping trip in before the Zastrow's moved. It was a quick and very busy three days, but it was well worth the memories that I hope the boys will have. They were awesome, even though the first night Emy didn't sleep at all! Amy, Tytan and Mylie were able to go with too! We love you guys!! Love this pic of Meg with Tytan, Coen, Emy and Atlas. They were going on a walk.

Baby Aiden made it up for our dinners with his mommy and daddy. You can barely see him all bundled up here. He was a trooper.

Emy spent most of her time walking around in the dirt, but we were able to contain her sometimes.

Foil dinners on the first night.

The first night it rained but that didn't stop us from having fun!

My kids have kids!!!

Love this pic our OUR kids with THEIR kids! Are they all cute or what??? We are so blessed.

4th of July

Our little Emy! She is always so happy. We went to Dennis and Kelli's for the annual Slip-n-slide. The boys loved it. Especially Atlas who must have gone down about 500 times. He was shivering to death and yet, that didn't matter.

Atlas was eating a hot dog that was almost as big as him. He only stopped long enough from the slip-n-slide to get some nourishment.

The boys loved going down the slide together. That night we went to Steve and Marilyn's for dessert and then down to the Country Club to watch the fireworks. They were beautiful and it was just such a great day!

Baby Aiden is here!!!

Little Baby Aiden Alan Griffitts was born on July 2nd at 11:17 am. He weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 1/4 inches long. He is beautiful!! A perfect combination of Brad and Jessie. Jessie was such a trooper. She did everything without medication and felt so good afterwards. We are so happy for this little family! I feel so lucky and blessed to have been able to be there. Gigi and Poppi with Grandchild #4!

Cute Family!

Brad is a new Daddy!

He was so alert when he was born!
