the monthly wrap-up

March was good to us.

We went to my Grandpa Griffin's 80th Birthday Bash in Arizona.  In true Grandma G fashion...

it was a party. 

I think there were over 90 relatives that came! 

Of course there was a night of bonfire & skits, & you better believe the Shelly Griffin Bird family did not disappoint.

We opened with a rap, then finaled with a rousing rendition of Leader of the Pack;

obviously dedicated to Gramps G.

The ditty was complete with lip syncing, leather jackets, & Mama Bird-made poodle skirts.

We visited the famous London Bridge in Lake Havasu.

me & little bro Jaxon

The Leprechaun Fairy visited us.

Avy was a bit weary of a tiny green man traipsing around her house, so we tacked on "Fairy" to the end of his name & all of a sudden he was a good guy.

Clearly he had to use the toilet while dashing around in the night.

We celbrated his happy day with green waffles & the like.

We celebrated 33 wonderful years of having Tat in this world.

Crepes for breakfast.

Pork barbacoa burritos for dinner.

Ice-cream cake for dessert.

The decorator:

I spent the month engulfed in the world's biggest Youth Conference Activity EVER!

It was amazing & such a powerful experience for both the youth & the leaders.

You can check out photos HERE.

I think this was actually February, but I owe it a shout-out.

Kidnapped this beautiful pregnant lady:

for some DELICIOUS DishDash dinner & dessert!

The shock of the kidnap must have worked b/c she has since had the sweet little Babe.

This little piggy decided to start rolling.

& since he's started, he hasn't stopped.

The mastered flop:

step 1- bracing for the big tumble

step 2- gaining great momentum with the right shoulder

step 3- flat to back (but no pic b/c this step is a quick one)

step 4- over to the opposite shoulder in preparation for the final flip

step 5- full 360' back to the tum-tum

step 6- proudly gaze out to the audience

Avycakes has been up to her usual tricks.

You know...the ones where she wears anything but normal clothing & does awesome dance moves?

Yeah, those.

My sister Sally, her 2 cutie boys, & sista Brooklyn came out for a week.

(KJ...Sally really does exist...see her in the pics below.

& Sal, leave a comment so KJ knows you ARE REAL & not made up)

Brooklyn is the gymnast of the Bird fam.  Check her out!

And last but not least, thanks to a thought provoking yoga discussion with LY,

Tatty has decided to take up yoga.

(ps- not tat in the pic, but i imagine if i were to show up at his office right about now,

this is what i would find.)

He would like to improve his strength & flexibility for his upcoming, annual golf trip...obviously.

He turned our living room into a yoga studio last night.

I was much entertained as I sat & watched.

So church ladies in the yoga group, I'm warning you now...

don't be alarmed if a man in spandex & a fuzzy headband shows up speaking Sanskrit.

It's just Tyler.
