Trash Day

One of Cody's favorite days is trash day. Really what boy doesn't love a loud trash truck?! He thinks it is so great. So every Wednesday he gets excited when he sees that people are putting out their trash cans. He can't wait for his daddy to get home so that he can help take out our trash cans. He does such a good job with helping. He even goes into all the bathrooms and brings out the cans. Last night I got a picture of him helping. He is so cute. He earned a sticker for being such a good helper.

A little blurry but still really cute.

He is so excited to help.

First Swim Lesson

Tuesday was Cody's first official swim lesson. He did well for the most part. He is like most kids I assume, he just wants to play in the water. The instructor, Danielle, wanted him to blow bubbles, kick his legs, and do ice cream scoopers with his arms. He did most of these things, but not when she wanted him to. He was attempting to blow bubbles, but outside the water. We are going to work this week on the bubble thing, I think he drank more water than he left behind. Oh well, all in all he had a good time and I hope that he will do better next week. We need to get him more acquainted with the water because at this point he seems to have no fear of it.

Kicking his feet. Having Fun!

Jumping in! Right at the end and

he is actually whining at me. Still so

cute though. 

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

This morning I went into the playroom and found Cody singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and playing with his trains. It was so cute that I had to capture it. All that I had was my phone so the quality is not that great but he sure does sound cute. I just love this boy. Click on the title and it will take you to the YouTube video.

Birthday Lunch and First Fishing Trip

A few weeks ago, Saturday, April 24 to be exact, we went for a little cruise on the boat to celebrate Kevin and Nanny Brown's birthdays. We had a great time with Grammy, Grampy, Nanny, Uncle Kyle, and Auntie Rochelle. We took a cruise outside the harbor to see the seals and we ate a great lunch of Del Taco. Cody also was able to use his fishing pole for the first time, but there was no hook attached. He hasn't stopped talking about it since. Kevin has a goal that Cody will catch his first fish before he turns two using his own fishing pole. We will see...he only has a month to accomplish this goal.

We love you Cody!

Happy Birthday Kevin and Nanny!

Visiting with Julia

Meghan and I have been friends since kindergarten. We dreamed and wished all those things that little girls do. We use to play in my playhouse and we were married to Jeff and Brad and lived in houses next door to each other, on the beach of course. We had babies and raised them together. It is funny how some of our dreams did come true and some didn't. Meghan and I are still great friends, but we didn't marry Jeff and Brad. We married Bryan and Kevin.  Meghan lives in Phoenix and I don't get to see her nearly as often as I wish I could, but our children are pretty close in age. Cody and Julia are almost exactly a year apart. Meghan and Julia were in town and we got to have a little playdate. It was fun to see them and see the kids playing together. Cody loves "Jewia" as he says it. Thanks for allowing us to come and visit with you. We love you!

Cody loved the piano and Julia was admiring

his skills. ;)

Learning how to play from Julia's Nana. Thanks

Gay! Cody had so much fun.

What a sweet little face she has!

I love this. He looks like he is protecting her.

They will always be buds no matter how far

away we live from each other.
