Happy EaStEr!

I feel like Easter is a really great holiday.  I love the opportunity to learn more about the Savior and His sacrifice for us and I also love the changing of seasons that comes with it!  Springtime is so beautiful!

Love her!  
Baylie got her first Easter dress!  Nate was confused about the whole "Easter dress" thing, I quickly assured him that our kids will always get new dresses or church clothes on Easter.  He informed me that I can be in charge of that and he'll be in charge of getting the toys.  Deal!


Mimi got Baylie an adorable little book!  Baylie was so intrigued by it.  

This is how Nate helps me figure out the self timer.. thanks love!

And that's as good as it gets with the self timer...


Girls Trip 2013~

Every year Nate and the boys go to Jackson Hole for the snowmobile hill climbs.  My dad has always gone too and my mom and I used to just stay home.. what were we thinking?  Last year we decided that was not happening anymore so we went to Park City and City Creek, nothin like spending the weekend shopping!

This year we decided to make a trip down to St. George to visit my Grandma Great!  We invited all the girls of my mom's family and rented a condo so as not to overwhelm poor Grandma!  We had a blast!  We spent a lot of time just hangin out with the girls!

Five Generations! So lucky to have these wonderful women in my life!
Baylie got her first taste of chocolate ice cream, needless to say, she loved it!  Nothin like a girls trip to spoil a babe!

We also spent some time out by the pool!  It was a bit too chilly to actually swim, but that wouldn't stop us from gettin all dressed up!  
Happy as can be!

We did dip her feet in but she wasn't too sure about that!
It was a great trip!   I was worried about how Baylie would do but she did pretty darn good!  But then, how could she not love a girls trip??

Baylie's Blessing

Well I am super behind so it's time to play catch up!  Once again there is going to have to be a few posts for the update on all things Griffin family!

Baylie was blessed on February 3rd, 2013 by her wonderful Daddy!  It was a beautiful day.  My heart was so full and I couldn't stop smiling.  Baylie and I are so blessed to have a worthy priesthood holder in our home to bless us anytime we need!  Nate did a fantastic job and we had a lot of support from our awesome families as always!


Baylie wore the same dress that I wore for my blessing day!

And she wore  shoes that were her Great Great Grandma's


It was rough wearin' all that frilly crap all day!
Nate gave a beautiful blessing.  It always amazes me that dads know just what to say, even when it's their first time.  Just goes to show that blessings are truly inspired and it is not up to any man what should be said! I love this gospel that we get to be a part of and I am so happy to be able to raise my daughter in it.
