Look out, world...

Game on!

He's taken more steps at a time, but seems to get camera shy when the flip comes out.  crazy fun stuff!

Packer the Snowman

Merry Christmas!  

We had an awesome Christmas this year for lots of reasons.  It was so much fun to watch Griffin open presents and get excited over them.  Last year, he slept through all of the festivities.  What a difference a year makes.  He actually took a few steps for the first time on Christmas Day too!  

 It started snowing in Raleigh/WF around 8PM and we woke up to snow everywhere.

Raleigh hasn't seen a white Christmas since 1947.  Wowza!  

Kevin built an awesome snowman and we lovingly named him, Packer.  So, meet Packer Bell. (and please notice Packer's right hand... making the "Wolfpack" symbol, Kevin was quite proud of this)

Griffin's 12 month pictures

We had Griffin's 12 month pictures taken on Dec. 4th, which was also the first snow for Raleigh!  Take a look...

Merry Christmas from my ride to yours!

Cart Fun

Griffin helped me do some birthday party shopping a few weeks ago 

and was LOUNGING as we strolled the aisles.  It was hilarious!

Quack Quack

Meet "Quack Quack."  He is our Elf on the Shelf.

Griffin says, "quack quack" all the time, so we decided to name him "Quack Quack."

Today, he started saying "Tucker."  

If only he would have said that 3 weeks ago, our elf may have had the same name as our dog!

NCSU QB Pic

We had Griffin's 12 month pictures taken on December 4th (w/ Lauren Brady again, stay tuned to the blog for those pics to be posted here soon).  We started at Carter-Finley Stadium and were lucky enough to get the picture above with QB Russell Wilson.  Kevin got it enlarged and was able to get it signed by RW last Sunday!  What an awesome keepsake for G!  

Maybe it will be worth something one day. :)

GO PACK!

Party Time

We had fun celebrating Griffin's first birthday with family on Sunday, December 12th!  Griffin enjoyed his cake and had fun riding around in his new wheels, with his cousins happily pushing him along, after he got all cleaned up.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY GRIFFIN HAYES! 

We love you!

Happy Birthday Griffin!

Griffin turned 1 on December 10th!  Here is a picture of him on his birthday.  

More pictures from the party to come! Stay tuned.
