Boys!

This morning was all about boys. Cody spent the morning with his daddy, Grampy, Poppy, and Uncle Kyle. He had such a great time. They went to pancakes at the Harbor House (Cody's favorite breakfast spot). They went to the store to rent a generator and saw lots of cool equipment. Then they went to the boat. It is Kevin's birthday on Monday and he is taking a little fishing trip for the next two days and had to get things ready. Cody helped install a few new things and he played. What a great way to start a Saturday morning, hanging out with some of the most important men in his life. He is a blessed boy!

I found Cody and Grampy walking the docks.

"The boys" the only cheer that Cody likes to do. 

Soccer

Any one who knows Cody knows that he loves balls. He has loved playing with them since he was little. It is probably his favorite toy. As of a few weeks ago he realized how much fun it is to kick the ball. Soccer is his new favorite game. He waits for his daddy to get home and eat dinner so that they can play soccer. He is a little bit of a bossy boy. He tells Kevin where to stand and he stands across the room. When I say he tells Kevin where to stand I mean he walks up to the spot puts his finger on it and says "Right here Daddy." It is the cutest thing. They kick the ball back and forth for sometimes up to 20 minutes. He loves it and so does Kevin. He also loves to play in the yard and lately he has been kicking the ball into the planters. I told Kevin I thought we might need to get a net so that he could kick it into that instead. Last night Kevin came home with one. Cody was so excited. He loves it and is doing so well with it. We will see, maybe someday we will have a soccer star on our hands. ;)

First Goal! He was so excited.

He still needs to learn you can't
use your hands.


He was one happy boy!
Thanks Daddy!

Buddies

Amanda had the opportunity to substitute teach on Wednesday, so Cody and I got to have Tyler join us for the day. These boys are so funny together. They are and I hope always will be the best of buds, they are only six weeks apart. Right now they are at that age where they are laugh and being silly one second and the next crying because they want something that the other one has. It was a fun filled day. We played toys (as Cody loves to say when you ask him what he is doing, "TOYS"), played in the front yard, and walked to the park. At the park we were joined by Isla and another little boy. They had a great time. Cody and Ty, you are both precious boys so full of life and love. I love you both.

First Sleepover

This past Saturday Cody had his first sleepover. We had left him one other time with Grammy and Grampy (Kevin's parents) but they stayed at our house. He did so well with them that we decided we would try it again. This time he stayed at Uncle Todd and Auntie Mindy's house. Kevin and I went to San Diego for a triathlon he was competing in. He had a great time. His three cousins wore him out. They played soccer, basketball, Rock Band on the Wii and many other fun things. He slept well and ate well. He did so great that Kevin and I are ready to plan our next trip. :) Thanks Beebe Family for taking such good care of Cody. We love you and so does Cody.

Rockin out!



Singing his heart out.



I guess pink polka dots was the only towel available, 
but the put sunglasses on him to make him manly. 
He doesn't seem to mind much.

Run faster daddy!

Heidelberg Friends

I am way behind...but on Tuesday, April 6th Cody and I took an adventure. We drove two hours up to Agoura Hills to visit with my room mates from Heidelberg and their kids. The drive was an adventure...only in LA do you hit traffic on a Tuesday at 10:00am. Cody did great for most of the ride because I hooked up the DVD player and let him watch Curious George. The last 15 minutes he was done. He started whinning and crying. Finally we arrived to all our friends awaiting us. They all live in the local area so their commute was a little better than ours. Cody had a great time playing with Reilly, Georgie, Brayden, Meghan, Isabella, and Ryan. I had a wonderful time visiting with Tara, Diane, and Laura. I wish we lived closer to these girls. Our time is never long enough. The kids played, we ate lunch, and then headed home for naps. Cody made it to the freeway before he fell asleep. He slept the whole way home. It was a fun visit and we hope to have another real soon.

Easter Sunday



We were blessed to have our family over to celebrate our Risen Lord. We had a great day with wonderful food and company. We also did a little rockin and rollin in there, thanks to the 7.2 earthquake in MexiCali. We had an easter egg hunt, decorated left over cookies from our party and played outside. It was a beautiful, cool day. It was great to remember all that the Lord has given us through the death and resurrection of his Son. Cody loved playing with his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. We love you all and praise God for you.

Hunting Easter Eggs with Friends

On Tuesday, Cody had some of his friends over for an Easter Party. It was a lot of fun. We played, read a story, hunted for eggs, dyed eggs, ate lunch, and decorated cookies. It was a fun filled morning. The weather tried to crash our party, but a little mist wasn't going to stop us. The sun did come out and it was a beautiful day. Cody ate more sweets than he has ever consumed. I think his lunch consisted of candy, cheetos, a few bites of sandwich, a few grapes, a cookie and more candy. Oh well, what's a mom going to do? Thanks to everyone who made this such a special day! Here are a few pictures from the day.
