We had a very busy weekend at home this past weekend.  Paisley and I were planning our day and evening with Baby Griffen.  We wanted to do a little cleaning so my little helper (in her pajamas still) wanted the broom and dust pan and away she went!



Now it was time to get out a few of Paisley's old baby toys to entertain Griffen.  I think Paisley forgot just how fun they were!


And the next series of pictures looks like Paisley is harassing Griffen but she was very gentle. 

Patting his back to help him go night night!  She often wanted him to go night night.  I am not sure if she wanted the attention back on her or what :)


A hug and kiss from Pais!


Awwww and now she is lying next to him holding his hand!


And now the normal Paisley cheesing face comes out :)


Here are some precious pictures of Baby Griffen!  Even though he did not sleep very much he was a very happy baby!



Paisley had a snack on her picnic table right next to Griffen.  She then threw her cheese popcorn in the grass because the birds need to eat to according to her!  Oh and I forgot to mention she tried to eat a few off of the grass too.  Yuck!


Last picture of he two of them together.  Paisley could not get enough of rocking Griff!


On Sunday evening, we filled Paisley water table up with water and this is is what she started doing.  I think I should hire her to water my flowers every night :)  I think she watches me just a little too much!


Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!!!!!!

Mother's Day Weekend / Griffen's Baptism

Mother's Day

On Saturday evening, we went to Firefly Grill in Effingham for dinner.  We ate with my mom and Bill, Justin and Allie, and Allie's parents.  We chose this place as a test for Justin and Allie's Rehearsal Dinner.  It was good.

Here is little miss Pais and Allie.  Oh does she love Aunt Allie! 


Uncle Justin wanted in for the picture and this is the look he got from his niece :)


Paisley was admiring the very large fish in the pond through the sliding glass window at Firefly.


I just realized that Paisley and I did not get any pictures on Mother's Day. How sad! I am getting used to that since I am always the one behind the camera!

Griffen's Baptism

Griffen Louis Swinger was baptized on Sunday.  He was not very happy in this picture.  Here is a family picture minus Robbie :(  We missed you Rob!


I had to take a picture of Paisley in this little jean jacket.  Even though she is not looking at me in this picture I loved her jean jacket :)  She is growing up too fast!

This past weekend was Marissa's Bridal Shower.  I am her matron of honor so I had a lot of planning to do.  We had an Ice Cream Social and of course we had Dairy Queen icecream.  The shower was a success!  Here are a few pictures.

Paisley with Aunt Marissa.

Good Luck Marissa on your Wedding Day!  You will be a beautiful bride!  I love you!
