as promised...the pool!

Our neighborhood pool opened last week and Griffin was really excited to play in the baby pool. Danny and I were both (pleasantly) surprised by how well G did by himself! Although I didn't bring my camera, today he was jumping into the big pool and going under. I predict that by the end of the summer, we just might have a real swimmer!!!

Blowing bubbles (although I'm confident some were blown from the other end as well!)

Isn't it fun to splash Daddy!!!???!? (Mommy thinks so!)

Griffin's version of how he goes all the way under...on his back. 

Another view...

The Robinette men!

mega-update on the way

We've been busy, busy, busy the past few months and have lots to blog about. I figure if I say that I'm going to blog about things then I'll feel obligated to. So, I *promise* a bunch of posts before the end of the week.

We'll start off with Memorial Day. We went to the coast to see my college roommate, Jenny and her family. Jenny and I took the boys to the beach two days in a row and they LOVED it! (once again, the pictures are in backwards order...I just don't have enough forethought to correct that)

Funny faces

Yesterday we met Skye at the park. It was sheer coincidence that they both had on green adn white striped shirts!

G and Skye's versions of a funny face...

Skye showing off her muscles!

Griffin sporting his Airborne hat and generally looking super cute!

...like car wash man

Nothing brings Griffin greater joy than cleaning...I'm serious. So, this morning when I was going to vacuum, he told me he wanted to vacuum "like the car wash man." I couldn't possibly make this stuff up. That meant, removing the hose of the vacuum and using it as a hand held. I figured if he was going to do that, he might as well vacuum the sofas!

See the gleam of pure happiness in his eye?!

He does back creases,

cushions, 

and front creases. 

Then, he inspects his work for quality control.

Yes, folks, he's for hire! But, by the way (and again, I'm 110% serious), he told me I was supposed to pay him a dollar (just like the car wash man when the car is all done).

first trip to the movies

Last Sunday we took Griffin to see Disney's movie, "earth." Because I thought it was going to have a lot of live animal footage, I thought he'd like it. Well....we did make it through the entire movie (which was a plus). 

Everyone loves popcorn!

Danny was VERY embarrassed that I brought a camera to the movies. But, he humored me.

Asking a million questions about the movies

Pointing to what he *really* wants...candy

It'll probably be a while before we make it back to the movies. But, we can check that "first" off our list!


Aunt Maria visited!

Aunt Maria came to visit a couple week ago...she helped clean Griffin's art supplies. Griffin loves to clean, Maria loves to organize, it's a match made in heaven.



A perfect pair...they're for hire.
