Griffin's 3rd Birthday at ChooChoo Bob's

We celebrated Griff's birthday a little early this year with a party at the Train Store! It was SO much fun. The kids had a blast! Party room set up before kids arrived.

The train party wouldn't be complete without a Thomas Balloon!

Table setting for the kids.

Playing with Cranky, his favorite Thomas character at the moment.

Playing with Madden Brown and Emma.

Griff and his girlfriend Kate.

The kids (and a few random kids we don't know).

Anton and his Train drink.

Nolan, the future Train lover.

The kids hard at work coloring their trains to take home.

The cake!

Griff LOVES the party blowers!

Trying to get the kids together so we can take a picture of them in their train hats... It didn't work.

Opening gifts.

Nolan in a basket!

As close to a group picture as we can get! No randoms this time!!

Emma, Nolan, Griffin and Anton at our house after the party.

Griff's 1st trip to the Movie Theater!!

Kyle took Griff to the new Thomas movie "Hero of the Rails!" Griff loved the movie and the popcorn! It got a little long for him as there were 40 minutes of pre-views!! Next time we'll call ahead and go late!

Griff's 1st day of Pre-School

I can't believe I'm already writing this post! It seems like he was JUST born, how can he be going to school?!?!?! He was beyond excited to be going to pre-school!! He had a great day too! He came home with some papers (artwork) and had to be carried out screaming "more pre-school please, more pre-school!!!"

Kari's Baby Girl

My friend Kari had her baby girl September, 4th! She was the maid of honor in our wedding. Congrats Kari!

BirdHouse

We took the boys to Home Depot to build a birdhouse!

Though Daddy almost lost a finger....A few times!

He is very proud of his birdhouse!

Can't leave without riding the lawn mowers!

State Fair 2009

Jess, Kate, Griff, Nolan and I went to the state fair this year!! It was our first time (the Knutsons not the Hinnenkamps). Griff and I had a blast! We tasted all sorts of yummy foods and got to see lots of animals!
