Happy Halloween from the Gripka's

MSSU Homecoming 2012

The first weekend in October we made a trip to Joplin.  That is where Mama and Daddy went to college.  We always go to the Homecoming Parade so I can get candy and see my friends that live in Joplin.  This year it was really cold.  After the parade I went to Nanny and Papa's house to hang out with them in the warm house.  We had a ton of fun!!

Cousin Love

I have a new cousin - Mama's cousin Brett has a new baby - Braelyn Marie was born on August 14th and I love love love my new baby cousin!

Labor Day Weekend 2012

GiGi and I went to the lake a few days before everyone came and we had a blast! Once the rest of the family got there the fun only continued.  I love going to the lake, swimming and riding on Papa's boat. I can't wait to go back next summer!!

Catching Up...

Holy Moly ... we are behind ... this blog was started so all of our family/friends would be able to keep up with baby of the family.  After a year or so I decided to keep it going because I learned that we could print the blog and I thought "Wow, now I don't have to keep up with Tori's baby book".  I try to document all of the memorable things we do with her and some of the everyday things so that one day she can show her kids and family what it was like when she was a little girl.  Now I must get back to blogging and get caught up before Christmas arrives and my tiny baby turns 3!!
