lately

lately i've been a bad blogger, and a bad housewife. i never get anything done, i'm hardly on the computer so blogging definitely hasn't happened, and i'm just enjoying Griffin. it's been great to watch him get bigger. a lot has happened over the past few weeks that i wanted to share with the blogosphere.

for the 4th of july (seriously, it's been that long since i blogged), scott, griffin, and i went up to lake county and spent some time with our friends, the sheltons. we swam, barbecued, and watch fireworks. it was a lot of fun, and griffin loved swimming. it was so cute seeing him in the pool for the first time.

griffin borrowed sam's swim trunks, since mommy's forgot to pack his. aren't they cute?

griffin just hanging out at the pool. it was a ridiculous 100 degrees in lake county.

so sleepy after swimming

scott wearing griffin's hat. ridiculous.

it was so nice to be around people with kids. we hung out with mary & zach, their two kids, mary's brother and sister in law, and their two kids. it was great! i loved every minute of it (except when 3am showed up and griffin decided not to sleep).

our weekend

scott hardly ever has saturdays or sundays off, so our weekend usually starts on a monday. this time we decided to have a little getaway sans baby. on sunday we went to Solage to stay the night. we had a great time. on sunday night we went to Press and had a great dinner. on monday we woke up, had a little room service breakfast on the patio, went on a bike ride and then hung out at the spa for the rest of the day before we went back home to baby. we had fun, but i definitely missed the little guy.

i am now obsessed with these bikes

the bathhouse pool (it's geothermal... and was a beautiful 94 degrees)

i could have lived in there

we're home!!

doesn't griffin kind of look like a turtle?

the next day we did our taxes and decided to spruce up the house a little bit. scott has been ripping out all our hedges and bushes and the flowers we don't like, and i wanted to update our house numbers and make the house look a little better. we went to home depot, put up paint swatches in the house and played in the yard a little.

i planted some succulents to hang out by our front door

and this little guy just hung out in his car seat with us while we were redoing everything. he's such a good little baby. we're so lucky.

it was a relaxing and productive weekend.
