We had so much fun celebrating Griffin's 9th Birthday with him. He wanted to skip school and have a long birthday day. So that's just what we did.
Griffin is our future paleontologist. He LOVES all things dinosaur, so we had a dino cake made especially for him.
Griffin loves to go bowling for his birthday. We are all expert bowlers, really, we are awesome! Actually we did pretty good, We had so much fun watching Elliot name her two bowling balls, "MR. and Mrs. Pickles" Caleigh was put in charge of taking photos, she did a great job.
Griffin is such a fun kid. He's pretty easy going (like his daddy) and he has an awesome sense of humor. He loves learning new things, which means he likes watching documentaries with Mike and going to the library with me. Griff loves to dance, and has some unique moves (pictured below in the video). He is definitely the peace maker around here, except when he's in a teasing mood, then he's the troublemaker. Griffin has been working hard on his reading skills this year. We started reading the scriptures as a family, and at first Griffin was really frustrated. He hated being corrected because he didn't realize how many words he was mispronouncing. We decided as a family that we would fast for him, so that he would feel better, and that reading would come easier for him. Since our praying and fasting, he has started reading so much better. He isn't afraid to tackle the big words on his own, and he doesn't mind being corrected. Everyone is so proud of him, I love hearing the other children encouraging him and telling him what a good job he's doing.
WE love you Griff.
