HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY TO GRIFFIN DAVID!!!

One of Griffin's presents was this little guy "Ozzie"  a Mini Australian Labradoodle puppy 8 weeks old.

He also got a few pool toys, the game jenga, this swim/surf shirt, and daddy wants to take him to the mall to pick out his own baseball cap.  Since we have started camping all the boys seem to play baseball a lot more... a lot of the kids play it when we are camping.

Yep, Tyra LOVES her new "live stuffed animal"... shes the one I have to watch with Ozzie, she thinks she can carry him or sit on him or lift him by his curly hair.  He will be an easy going tame dog with her around (well lets hope he will)

Griffin got to have his cousin Lane over and his friend Tyler over for a few hours today for his real birthday.  We had pizza and cup cakes.

Oh yeah, and this boy Gannon is also in love with Ozzie... I keep having to remind him that Ozzie needs a break sometimes.



All the kids with our newest family member.
*GRIFFIN DAVID DYKSTRA*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! WE LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!  You have been a very on the go anxious, full of energy boy since the day you were born... even then you couldn't wait for anything, you had to come  3 weeks, 2 days early!  You are full of life always wanting to play with anyone who will play catch, golf, basketball, soccer, ride bikes, rollerblade, or throw the football around with you.  You are kind to others, you are a sweet oldest brother, and an awesome little guy to have around!  We cannot believe it has been 7 years already! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
