Being Sweet.......

Here is a picture of Addi and Landon playing together, which they are doing more of everyday. Today Landon was teaching Addi how to hook a trailor onto the back of a truck. What a great big brother! Then, I just really loved the picture of Addi laying down on Mary Paul's toy and the one of Landon caught in a "real" laugh. It is hard to catch your kids in a "real" moment, especially as they get older. It's really hard when they are teenagers, just ask Andi and John. Landon already poses most of the time for pictures too. Luckily, I still have one little enough to be oblivious of the camera. It won't be long though......

Poor Little Addi!

Poor little Addi girl shows off her mouth injury number two, and she has only been walking for 2 months. That averages out to one injury a month. I keep waiting for the day when I'll be taking her in for stitches. She really is quite clumsy. She always looks like she has had a little too much apple juice, if you know what I am saying! She wobbles all around and tries to go so fast to keep up with Landon. Also, when she is aggrevated or not getting her way, she just throws herself down without looking as to what she could be landing on. She got her latest injury from trying to get off the couch in the playroom like Landon does, going forward. Instead, she fell face first into the train table. I am just so glad she landed on the most padded part of her face and not eyes, nose or direct mouth. Her chubby cheeks definetly saved her this time! Gooooo Addi!

Atlanta Weekend!

Here are a few picture highlights from our trip to Atlanta this past weekend. Dave was great at entertaining Landon and Addi while the rest of us were busy with visiting. They loved the attention I am sure. Also, it was a milestone weekend because Addi let someone other than me or Mike hold her for more than two seconds. She got one of her first pictures with her Aunt Samantha. Then, Landon had a blast playing a Leap Frog game with his Great Aunt Wendy. He was really laughing hard and it was so funny to watch. He also had fun swimming like a little fish with swimmies in the pool, which is where the older kids were nearly the entire time. Unfortunately, I did not get any pool pictures. Hopefully next time I'll be more on the ball!

Summer Fun!

Here are the Griners having some "Summer Fun"! Andi is looking pretty as always on a summer day. John just returned from his mission trip to South Dakota where he served on an Indian Reservation. He had a an extremely blessed time! Landon is loving watermelon these days and Addi loves to show off her pearly whites at 16 months old. What a big girl! She is definitely learning to pose for the camera!

Here is the most recent picture of all 4 kids together. Most of you have already seen it, I am just playing around with my first posts. We are getting ready to go out of town this weekend to a wedding in Atlanta. While there we will get to be with all of our family and are so excited about that! The kids are looking forward to some good swimming time in G-Mama's pool. I hope Landon and Addi like the water as much as John and Andi! We'll soon find out!

My First Post!

OK so I have succombed to the peer pressure of all those around me starting a blog page! Here is the beginning of the Griner Chronicles! John has been helping me set it up and we have been having fun bonding time while listening to John poot. I am going to post some pictures and then begin with our family's story!
