A buncha of Pictures with captions
 |
| This man is at a Regal movie theather wearing his "free" popcorn shirt for a different chain. Ha! |
 |
| Mommy & her friends watch SYTYCD and daddy and the kids do this! |
 |
| I thought putting the cheese on the top shelf would keep him out of it. |
 |
| Another fun summer day at day care. (She took him to an indoor playplace that was waaay better than McDonalds!!) |
 |
| Spaghetti for breakfast. In the car. It was the only thing that got him to stop crying that morning. Ha! |
 |
| Oh no! I guess using the back seat as my shoe closet has caught up with me. |
The Ring Leader
So, as I mentioned we like to go to the McAirConditioned Playplace so our monkey can run around and we can enjoy some free A/C. We go to this one near our house that has this big open area under the climbing tubes. Well, the last 2 times we were there random children were playing with lil C. The weird thing is these different kids basically played the same game. They play a version of tag where Cody is always pretty much "it." They run and he chases. Since he is not allowed to push or hit and he is not upset he basically doesn't touch the other kids so eventually they run into him and say that he "tagged" them. This last time if he touched them they would fall to the ground pretty much because every time Cody would run in two circles he would fall to the ground. They other kids would help him up and they would do it all over again. Probably a boring story for you and the bloggy blog, here but it was so funny to watch.

Day 30 of 30 ... 30 days all about and for my Cody boy
My dear sweet silly boy,
You are my joy. Babies and kids almost always change a mommies life. You saved mine. I waited for so long for you to join me here on Earth. I have always know more than any thing else I wanted to be a mom. When I started making wrong choices and then wasn't able to have kids and start my family like I'd always wanted I changed. My priorities changed and who I was and thought I wanted to be changed. I even thought I had started to convince myself I didn't really want kids. Then one day all that changed. I found out, "Surprise!" I was pregnant. To me this in it's self was a miracle. I was resigned to the fact I might never get to be your mom. Imagine my joy. That day I changed. With in a few weeks my whole world changed. I left California and moved to Arizona to be closer to my sister and brothers. I started going back to church. I started following the guidelines & standards the church out lines for us to live by for happy lives.
It was not always easy. But I kept telling myself, Heavenly Father answered a 10 year old prayer of mine, so I needed to keep my end of the bargain. I aways knew I wanted to raise my family to know the truthfulness of the gospel and the church. So, I started going. It took time to get comfortable with being there. But with time and perseverance I got comfortable. And I became active again. And I got where I liked who I was and who I was becoming. I was more calm and collected as a mother of a 6 1/2 week early preemie than I has been in years. I made new friends and when you were just under 1 year old I, as you already know, met your daddy. We moved to Texas to be with him and the girls.
Every day of my life you make me smile. There are plenty of moments where you make me want to pull out my hair, too, but the little moments full of love make it worth it. The past 30 days tell about you and your little blooming personality. You have a stubborn streak. You are so smart and good at problem solving; which includes finding a way to get what you want. You are a lover. You love to hug and cuddle me. You like kissing people and asking them if they are, "all better." You have a chore and you are really good about doing it. You feed the cat. The cat named Mouse who you just call Cat. (Too smart, I say.) You know all your colors. You know shapes and numbers. You can spell your name and recite 2 of the 13 articles of faith. You know who you are.
Cody I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for bringing you into my life. I don't know where I would be if you hadn't decided it was finally your time to come to this world. Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy. I promise to do my best to teach you and love you and help you in this life. I can't wait to see all the other things you will do over the next 70 years.
Love,
Your Mommy

Day 29 of 30 . . .Growing up : Big Boy
Another step forward in Cody's progress to becoming a big boy. A new Big Boy Bed. Bigger than before. 1st night = success! He stayed in bed all night and didn't even try to come out of his room! Yay! (Nights two and 3...um... we are still working on it.) ![]()
A growing up sign. Literally growing. Cody seems to have grown like 4 inches in the last few weeks. I couldn't help but notice how long he seemed when he was laying in the bath tub. He almost stretched the whole length!! ![]()
- Daddy encourages Cody to be more self aware and be a big boy. He got him this little red wagon so we can work on saying Bye-bye baby stroller!
