Cody is Two!

June 8, 2010

It was great that Cody's birthday fell on a Tuesday this year, Kevin's day off. We decided to take Cody to Disneyland. We hadn't been in  a while and he had a great time. He and Kevin rode the rockets, it was Cody's first time and he loved them. We ate dinner at Storybook Cafe. It was pretty good food and they came out singing to him which he really liked. We did a few other rides in California Adventure and headed home. He had a lot of fun. What kid wouldn't want to spend their birthday with Mickey?

Waiting in line for the rockets.

Funny story...I tried to fit in as well but as

you can see I am taking the picture.

Flying high, Cody loved it.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

We love you!

Family Birthday Party

June 6, 2010

We had a fun family party for Cody's birthday. We stuck with the construction theme and used the same plates and decorations. Instead of making cupcakes, like I planned I bought them from Costco. They sure are yummy. Cody loved having everyone at his house for his birthday. He loved all his presents and playing with all of his family. He also loved telling everyone that he was going to be a big brother. I just found out that Thursday right before. I went out and bought a shirt that same day that said "Big Brother". I put it on Cody so that when Kevin got home that afternoon from fishing it was the first thing that he saw. He looked at Cody and then looked at me and then looked at Cody again and then at me and said "Really?". It was so cute. So we decided that Cody's birthday party was almost too perfect of a time to tell all of our family at once. We put the shirt on Cody for the singing of Happy Birthday. Everyone was so surprised. It was a lot of fun. I was only 4 weeks at the time so we asked everyone to keep quiet for a few weeks. All in all it was an awesome day.

Batter Up!

For his birthday Cody got an awesome tee ball set. He loves it and is really good at it. Months after receiving it from the McRae Family he still loves playing with it. His favorite is to fake a swing and then the next time he hits it so hard. He is a funny kid.

His daddy teaching him how to swing.

I love the joy on both their faces.

Getting better on his own.

Trying to be fancy and hit it one handed.

Cody's Almost Two

On a gloomy June 1st we celebrate Cody's second birthday with all his friends. Since Cody is really into construction trucks that was our theme. I was able to find little front loaders, dump trucks and cement mixers to send each of the kids home with. We had a great time. The kids ran in and out of the house playing with toys, playing in the ball pit and laughing. The moms were able to sit and chat. We had pizza, salad, Cheetos, fruit, and cupcakes. It was a lot of fun and Cody just loved having everyone over to play. He also loved all his presents. Thank you all for coming and for the wonderful presents. Here are a few pictures from the fun day.
