Life at the South House

Griffin is loving Luke more each day. I can't even count how many times a day I hear, "Baby Nuke, kiss." Griffin doesn't understand that he can kiss him on his cheek or his head with his lips. Instead he thinks that a kiss is touching his cheek to Luke's cheek or his head to Luke's head. I love it!

Here Griffin is getting a little aggressive with his brotherly love.

We took Griffin to the splash pad. We thought that he would love it... but not so much.

Marc was trying to warm him up to it.

He did much better when he had something to play with in the water. So we emptied out some snacks from the diaper bag and started to have fun.

He got even more brave when we gave him a car to play with.



And then another kid running by and kicking water splashed him, and he was done. We'll try again before the summer is over.

Anytime, we go anywhere in the car Griffin wants to see horses. Living in Lehi that's not too hard to accomplish. The other night we pulled over to get an even closer look.

Griffin was still a little scared at first but he warmed up really fast. And, as you can see from the pictures below, these horses were stretching through the fence and loved the attention that we were giving them!

We have been trying to enjoy the firepit, but considering that as soon as it cools off it becomes a freaking mosquito infested wasteland, it makes it a little less enjoyable. Marc said it's death by firing squad. So, we hurry and roast up some marshmallows, snarf down some smores and that's about all we can handle.
Baby "Nuke" is now almost 6 weeks old. Earlier this week he weighed in at 8 lbs 9 oz. and he's wearing clothes that Griffin wore when he was 3 months old! I am watching him grow right before my eyes and time is flying by faster than ever before!

Marc got a little extra workout while mowing the lawn this week. Griffin was in heaven (I love that he has a fire truck in his hand).

Griffin is learning how to feed himself... this is how that is going.

Hike to Timp Cave
My sister Megan and her family are visiting from Washington and some of our family got together for a hike up to the cave.

We loaded up our boys and were on our way! Good thing Marc got some training in with Griff on his back while mowing the lawn!













Griffin did pretty well in the cave as long as Marc had a steady stream of jelly beans going into his mouth. We had a blast!
