Fruits of my Labor.... or Veggies

Okay, so seriously....Gardening has become an OBSESSION! When I made the journey to the Greenhouses to buy my plants, I had no idea what to do or expect. The workers there were quite helpful, but a little misleading. I was under the impression to buy more, because some would surely die...apparently that's just how it happens when you plant things...you cross your fingers and pray they survive. That some crazy Utah weather Freeze in June doesn't occur, right? Well, I'm happy and proud to say that not ONE of my plants have died...(knock on wood). Seriously...I planted 16 tomato plants thinking if half of them died, I would still have enough to share, eat, and make Salsa. Well, I will have an abundance of Tomatoes...so for all you tomato lovers out there, I'll let you know when there red and juicy and bring you some. And if anyone is a fan of squash, zucchini, or peppers...every color and temperature level, you can have some of those too. I had no idea that one plant could multiply and produce several...I planted as though they would each produce a few. Well, a few dozen from each plant is what I'm afraid I'm going to get :)) Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled beyond belief! Such a proud moment in ones life when they see the fruits of there labor thriving...kinda like Little People....hummmmm

Summer Squash...my Favorite! :))
Look how cute.....

My first proud moment in my Garden...A cute Pepper :))

Meet "Duke" ...

WoW...It's been Soooooo Long since my last post that I don't even know where to begin! Life has definately been busy and Adventurous, that's for Sure :)) I will start with introducing a new little Addition to our Family...DUKE...He is an adorable mix of a Labrador Daddy and a Bassett Hound Mommy. He is a Bassador. He was born April 12, 2010. He was breach in delivery, so Momma "Kathy" had to go in after him and in the process his tail was broken. They took him to the vet and had it splinted, but his mommy didn't like the splint on her babe and kept taking it off. So, not only are his ears so droopy long that they get wet when he drinks, but when he takes off running his tail pops right up and shoots sideways. It is the cutest Stinkin thing i've layed my eyes upon. I seriously laughed so hard, I cried the first time i saw it. He is Yummy cute and the Sweetest little pup ever.

He is seriously so good. When we brought him home at 8 weeks, we were warned that he would spend the first few nights whining...so be prepared. Let's just say that the only reason he didn't sleep all night is because I woke up in a panic at 5 am, realizing that I hadn't been up all night with a whining pup and freaked out. That feeling of when your newborn babe sleeps through the night for the first time, and when you realize it you run to there bedside to make sure there still breathing. Sheer Panic! This baby had real power over me. . .Anyway, I ran to the truck barefoot and braless with my flashlight shining, only to find the cutest little puppy sleeping peacefully...until the flashlight hit the glass of the topper and startled him awake. Nice! Way to Go! Needless to say I spent the next 90 minutes snuggled with him on the back porch in the we early morning hours of a kinda chilly day. My own fault! He is the best Puppy ever....sleeps constantly, eats good, plays good, and poops in the same spot everytime. Love Him!

942 Years!

Seriously...What's my Deal!?? It's been like 942 Years since my last Post! Crazy Dayz, that's for sure. Let's see....my last post came right after our move to Salem and I got my DVR! No worries...i'm still head over heels in luv. Well, since then...ALOT has gone Down.....

For Starters, Cody returned home from his Mish! YEAH! We are so Super Stoked about that one. He is most definately the BomB.Com. Luv this kid. Sophie luvs this kid more! She even wants him to share a room with her. Too CuTE! The boyz are luvin it too...Our Rock Band is one stronger. Yippee! I'm luvin that he is letting me play Match Maker. He's all about it. The more girlies....the better. And i've hooked him up with some pretty dang cute ones. Sophie fell asleep sitting on Cody one day....I thought it was pretty dang CUte.

Moving On...

Sophie had her big dance Debut this summer too. They got worked over pretty well. They had two shows friday night and three on Saturday! It was a pretty Awesome Recital though. Each show had 37 dance performances with girlies of all ages. She luved it....but i was glad when it was over!

The kiddos and I took a trip to Nampa, Idyho. They had a ton of fun playing with cousins and just hanging out. My Sis took me to float the Boise river one day and I nearly lost my life....Thank goodness for Life Vests....LOL I got caught in a current and couldn't paddle away from the bunch of trees i was headed straight for. Needless to say, I lost my tube....got tons of wounds and provided humor for all around me with my screams and vulgarities. ! Never Again! The day we left, we had made it only three or four blocks away from my sisters house when a Prego Teeny Bopper Texting while driving with her 2 year old son....took off the front end of my cute little Mazda! That Sucked! Bridger and Sophie were in the back seat. They didn't even see it coming. All Bridger can remember is the "Words" that came out of my mouth when it happened. I won't repeat them. I'm blaming it on the Shock of the whole thing. Shame on Me! Nobody was hurt, thank Goodness. I got to sport around in a Nice Chevy Malibu for 3 weeks, that made the Mazda look like a piece of Poo, Sophie got a new Pink Car Seat out of it, and Bridger is no longer a car accident Virgin.

OKAY....

In July the Griffiths family became one Stronger....with the New addition of baby Addyson Marie. We call her Addy.....She is Yummy Stinkin CUte! Her Mommy & Daddy were of course thrilled to welcome a little girlie to there family of boyz. You can look at pics of the Sweet little thing Here on Britty's Blog.

I've also started working over at David's office. That has been an adjustment. But it's fun to work with him! Sophie even has her own office over there. She's got a bed, T.V., lots of movies and snacks, Art supplies...you name it. The girl stays busier then I am over there. She'll even come into some of the meetings with her notebook and passing crayons out to everyone in the room. FUnnY Girlie!

The boyz have been ADDDIIIIICCCCCTTTTEEEDDD to Baseball this past summer, and now moving into Fall. They both played on City leagues and they both played Accelerated all summer! OUch. Baseball 4 dayz a week. Shoot me NOW! They both pitch for there teams and it is far to stressful for me to watch. They are both playing Accelerated this fall too. Bailey just had a tournament this weekend. I guess i'm just greatful there active and not camped out on there butts in front of the TV. They luv it!

Bailey being a good sport

Bridger Pitching in the State Championships

And now, everyone is back in School. Including Cody. Bailey is a Big Bad Junior High student this Year! I'm still crying over that one. I remember all to well, my junior high dayz. Scary Stuff. Bridger is busy as a Bee in 5th grade! And i'm sending Soph to PreSchool this year. I went back and forth on that one. The boyz only went to one year preschool each, but Sophie needs the Social part most definately. She is like a little butterfly buzzing around non stop. She luvs to go to school. It's only two dayz a week this year, so not too much for her.

FYI...can't find my camara....to post the rest of the pics. I'll be back....

My Luv Affair....

Okay, it's True...I'm having a LuV AffaIr ...with .....my New, Very Own, Nice, Shiney & Black....DVR. It's So True. I got one. I feel so Blessed. It's totally and udderly amazing. I cried actual tears when the Cable Guy came bringing it in. I think he thought I was a little Nutso though..I mean, crying and all over a DVR. Seriously...I once seen one in Action and was so super oober Jealous i couldn't eat, sleep or drink anything for a whole hour. Thanks Melissa! It was so Hard on my Emotions. I have wanted one for what feels like an EteRniTy. It was like Christmas, My Birthday, Anniversary, 4th of July... all mixed into one. I put that moment right up there with having my Babies! Amazing! I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but if you don't have one, i weep for you! It's the Greatest!

So...I can now watch DWTS, Biggest Looser, and American Idol on Tuesday Nights. All made possible by the DVR! Yeah, and i have to admit, this is the reason I've slacked on the Blog. So Sorry! I'll try to do better!

Accident Prone....?

Poor Sophie....is she accident prone, or What?!? Funny little girlie got her arm broke. You think this is bad, you should see the other guy!

She is adjusting well, and i'm sure before long she'll be using it as a weapon.

For Cody...

Meet your new Nephew Brayden. He is yummy cute! The other night I spoke with him, and he asked where his Super Cool uncle was. I told him you were serving a Mission and you'd be home soon...he smiled~ and then spoke something I couldn't quite make out....souunded like Stud or somethng. You know how those Newborns are, can't quite understand them. Super Cute kid! Anyway, he can't wait to meet you, so be safe and we'll all see you very soon.
