Griffin got his picture made with Santa at the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas. The lady taking the picture was trying to get Griffin to smile by saying "cheese". He wouldn't smile so I stepped up and said "forklift" and he smiled instantly. That kid is crazy about forklifts!
Griffin and Brett were playing around on the bed and Griffin had to go get Thomas and bring him up on the bed too. What a silly goose!!
Griffin licking his plate at Thanksgiving. I guess he really liked my cooking.
Griffin got his Thanksgiving dinner all over him.
What a great mashed potato smile!!!!!
Griffin thought the sound the ice chest made as he pushed it around was so funny!
This is the neighbors cat. Griffin saw the cat lay down so he thought he would too. I think it's a very sweet picture.
Here's my little doodlebug hangin' out on the front porch.
I love this picture of Griffin!!!!
Brett & Griffin playing in the yard. Griffin had lots of fun being thrown up in the air by his daddy.
Brett takes Griffin up to his work sometimes on the weekends to ride the forklift. Griffin is crazy about forklifts now. Everytime he sees one he starts yelling. We had to stop on the side of the road the other day just so he could see a forklift. Crazy kid!
On Halloween night, we visited some friends of ours, Nellie & Walter Emerson, to trick or treat. Griffin got to meet some new friends while he was there.
We also stopped by Curves to trick or treat them. Griffin couldn't resist "monkeying" around on one of the machines.
Here's our silly little monkey hamming it up for the camera.
I decorated sugar cookies for Halloween. Griffin had to test them for me. I think they passed the test. Yummy!!
Griffin's first day at Head Start. He is going M-F from 8am to noon. It was really hard for me to let him go, but he needed to be around other children for the socialization. We are both having some separation anxiety. I think Griffin really likes it. 
Griffin, Mimi and I went to the park to play while Mimi was visiting us here in Deming. It was a beautiful morning. Griffin & Mimi had lots of fun sliding down the slide. We love going to the park.
Brett, Griffin, Mimi and I went to the Catwalk in the Gila National Forest in New Mexico. It is so beautiful. The trail is approximately 1.1 miles long. We stopped at a stream and rested. Griffin and Mimi played in the water. There were lots of wild flowers along the path. Griffin found a pretty purple one and I took his picture. It was a wonderful day. 
Brett let Griffin drive the pickup in the parking lot at Brett's work. Everytime we go somewhere, Griffin wants to get in the front seat and drive. 
Brett got a new John Deere tractor at his work. Griffin loves tractors so Brett took him for a ride on the new tractor. Griffin was so excited.
Griffin enjoying a lollipop with Brett at the Duck Race Parade in Deming, N.M. Deming has an annual festival called the Duck Races. Yes, they are actual duck races. It's lots of fun.
The company Brett works for, Solitaire Homes, had an entry in the Duck Race Parade this year. They had to show off their outhouse they made for the outhouse races. Yes, outhouse races.
The Solitaire Homes outhouse received best in show this year. It's a pretty good looking outhouse don't you think.
I got a picture of the outhouse race teams with the outhouse the day of the race. We won one race. We'll be back next year and they better watch out. We'll have a new and improved outhouse next year. 
We rented a moonwalk for Griffin's birthday party, but we got rained out. The lady we rented it from let us keep it overnight. We aired it up the next morning to let it dry out. We played in it for about 30 minutes all by ourselves. That was lots of fun. I can't remember the last time I got to jump around in a moonwalk. Brett and I had as much fun as Griffin did.
