This 1st one is from like 2 months ago. The boys called me away from unpacking to witness this. Needless to say, I was very entertained:

Big boy haircuts-FINALLY!
Zechariah and Ammon were SO shaggy and I was SO tired of Gary and my terrible attempts at cute haircuts. So I threatened lives and bribed the kids with icecream if they would behave at the barbers and here is the successful trip in all its glory. I was really proud of Zechariah but even more so of Ammon. What a trouper! The barbers were not great but hey! they were better than what I could've done. Afterwards, Grandma got them ice cream from McDonald's! It was a good day!
This 3rd post is entitled:
A Day in D.C. w/ Grandma
My mom came out to MD last week to help me with the boys and house and to see the new baby. She had to leave on Sunday to get back and take care of some real estate deals she had in the works. Before she left, I decided to take her to D.C. She had never been and I had not been since my 5th grade trip. I packed lunches, diapers, and my new stroller and away we went. We didn't know where we were going but the boys soon convinced us to go to the Natural History Museum, courtesy of the movie, Night at the Museum. It took us forever to find a parking spot but we did and off we went. I am so glad I did not attempt this without Gary. He was great running around with and entertaining the older boys so that I could push the stroller with Ammon and Elijah. The 1st thing Zech said when we got into the museum was, "Where's Rexy?" We soon found him and the day was a success! The 'mall' is an awesome place to visit. It will take us many trips to see it all. But I look forward to the opportunity. How cool to live this close to our nation's capital! Now, if I could just influence the politicians to quit being idiots and change their policies. But this is not a political blog and I should not even get started on that subject!
Here's some pics we took:
REXY!!! Can you see the boys w/ Grandma?
I love that my boys ask me to read to them all about the exhibits! Such smart kids!
My new (to me) Phil and Ted's stroller w/ double's kit. Gabe was not supposed to be in it but he just got so tuckered out and Ammon got tired of being strapped in so they traded for a while! Elijah is asleep on the bottom. It sounds weird but it's soooo cool!
The carousel at the National Mall. Thanks Grandma!
Gabriel loved it, Zech liked it- until he got dizzy, and Ammon freaked out!!! Poor baby!
Team Griesmyer
Thank you to our dear friends Lia Hopper and Danae Syphus for our awesome shirts! The boys wear them all the time and I've already had to wash them about 4-5 times! You guys rock!
Family fun and saying goodbye
My brother Joe lives in D.C. (until this Saturday-sniff,sniff) and has come to our house and helped Gary and me with home improvement projects. We love having him around and visiting with him. The boys absolutely LOVE him!
Grandma likes to give and get "sugar". The boys think this term is so fun! They love giving and getting "sugar" from her too. This pic is of my mom and her 6th grandchild.
Ammon wanted in on the action!
It has been a busy couple of months and will only get more so as the 4th of July approaches. We will have Gabriel's 4th bday party at our neighborhood pool, Independance Day celebrations the next day, and Elijah's blessing on the 5th. We will have 20+ people here to share that time with us. I thank God each and everyday for my huge and wonderful family that loves us so much!

Glad you guys have been having so much fun! i'm glad the barber went to so :) MISS YOU!!!
by the way... i am sooo jealous! i have wanted one of those strollers since I saw one in an airport 4 years ago... i actually went up and asked a total stranger about the details for it ;) good find!
You have an unmistakable laugh, I love it:)That evil knievel stunt is really cute.
Great updates. Your mom and Joe look great! Don't you just love, love, love your Phil & Ted?! I loved mine but decided to give it up before we left NYC. It was a great city stroller but I was worried how it would do in the suburbs. I do miss it though! Your boys look so big and cute. Cameron and fam stopped by on their way to Michigan and I updated him on you guys. Mesha was here as well so it was a mini reunion. One day we'll all have to get together again.
Congrats on the newest edition and all the updates! Your stroller is really neat! The video clip of the boys playing daredevil is exactly like something from my home... LOUD AND CRAZY and I LOVE IT!! You were a mom meant for boys... there aren't many of us out there my dear 8-) hope all is well with your recovery and adjustment and unpacking in a new home... you look great in your facebook photos...!! =)
