Cody's 1st Birthday Party in California!!!!

While we were visiting California we celebrated Cody's 1st Birthday at Grandma & Grandpa's house. What an amazing turnout!!!! Thank you to all our friends and family who shared Cody's special day with us. We BBQ'ed, we visited, and we ate cake. Cody's birthday cakes turned out GREAT!!!! They were so cute and perfect for his Mickey Mouse themed birthday party. Cody had a blast!!!! He loved his cake and he loved his new presents!!!! Thank you Grandma & Grandpa for the memorable 1st Birthday!!!

My sister~in~law Terri and I. What a great weekend we had catching up. Miss ya lady!!!!

So in Todd's family they have a tradition. On a child's 1st birthday they place a rosary, a shot glass, and a coin in front of them and see what they grab. If they grab the rosary they will be religious, if they grab the shot glass they will be the party animal, and if they grab the coin they will be rich and money hungry. So what did Cody go for? He grabbed the COIN (I so thought he would go for the shot glass)!!!!!

On your mark, get set, GO.......

There it goes.....

"WOW; this is pretty tasty!!!!"

Although it may look like he's eating a lot of cake, he only tried a little bit. He had more fun destroying the cake then eating it....

Austin was having just as much fun watching Cody......

Spending the day with MICKEY MOUSE!!!!!!

When Austin was turning 1 we all headed to the Happiest Place on Earth so since Cody is turning 1 we had to do the same. It was a pretty warm day, but we all had a blast. Cody had his special Mickey Birthday shirt to wear and the rest of the family also donned their Disney apparel too. We started our day at California Adventure and then headed off to spend the rest of the day at Disneyland. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for such a memorable day!!!

It's My Birthday!!!

A sleepover in SAN DIEGO

So after our fun day with Grandma & Grandpa at Sea World, we spent the night in San Diego and then went on a Harbor Cruise the next day. We had a blast and had BEAUTIFUL weather too. The boys LOVED riding on the boat. We also got lucky and got to see a bunch of seals and had a dolphin swimming and jumping along side of the boat!!!!

Cody just LOVES checking himself out in the hotel mirror. What a GOOF!!!!!

Austin wouldn't share his ice cream with anybody, except Cody. What a nice Big Brother!!!

Cody loved the boat ride and checking out the sites.

I know I am soooooo behind...........

I know, I am so behind!!!! I am trying to catch up, but WOW there has been so much going on lately. April 29th the boys and I packed up and headed to Temecula to visit and spend the night with my best friend from high school (friends for almost 17 years) and her boys. We were so excited to see Nicole and Chad and see their beautiful new home. They have 2 boys also; Logan (3) and Noah (7 months). Austin and Logan had a blast riding bikes, playing with toys, and of course stripping down and running in the water. The 2 little ones hung out and watched Baby Einstein together. Unfortunately, Cody was not himself on this visit and during the night started running a high temp. Poor Baby!!! We ended the evening with a yummy dinner and then off to the bath for the boys. Once the kids were all FINALLY down, the adults got to hang out, watch American Idol, drink some wine, and catch up. Thanks you guys for a great visit. Wish we could do it more often. I miss ya to pieces.......

Running through the sprinklers in their jeans of course.....

Playing out front!!

There's a puddle in the grass, so of course they must check it out....
