Our Desert Boys - February 24-25

Danny took the boys out for a Big Bend backpacking trip the last weekend in February. These are just a couple of my favorite pictures. More pictures, and a detailed description of their trip, can be found on Danny's blog - www.griffisfamilyoutdoors.blogspot.com.

Colter and His Potty - February 20


Colter has been talking about using the potty for several weeks, but hasn't really used it for anything other than reading a book. All of that changed this morning when he finally experienced success!

Look - I did it!

Even Bear (Colter's constant companion) got a turn to sit on the potty!

A Work of Art - February 16

During a recent "home improvement" weekend at our house, the boys decided they wanted to get in on the action. So we let them paint the closet! They had a lot of fun, but the best part for us was that after painting for about 20 minutes they were happy just watching the rest of the morning. :)
Wyatt experimented with how much paint the brush can really hold and then he tried to get it all on the wall!
After a few minutes, Colter decided that brushes weren't necessary and started painting with his hands!

A Cold and Snowy Valentine's Day - February 14

Wyatt had lots of fun at his Valentine's Party at school!
Colter enjoyed making some special valentines.
We braved the cold, snowy weather to walk down the street and deliver some Valentine cupcakes to some friends.
Our Little Valentines
And what would Valentine's Day be without a kiss!

Snowshoes and Sledding - February 2-3

We spent the first weekend in February with my family (Noni, Papa, Uncle Craig, Aunt Kim, Aunt Megan, Aunt Cathryn and Uncle Jerod) on a weekend getaway to Ruidoso, New Mexico. They had just gotten about a foot of snow the day before we arrived and the forecast for the weekend was nice and sunny - perfect weather for enjoying the snow! We spent lots of time sledding and Wyatt loved stomping around in his snowshoes. Wyatt has fallen in love with snow (much to Danny's delight!) since he now has his own pair of snowshoes. He loves that he can walk through the deep snow and not sink!
Colter loved sledding down the hill!
