Happy Birthday Cody Ray!

Today is Cody's birthday! The big 28. He thinks it's funny though that I am one month and one day older then him. Oh well, I guess I "robbed the cradle." We had a birthday BBQ for Cody at our house last night. It was a lot of fun. My dad, Robin, Brock, and my grandparents came along with Rich, Diane, Brett, Dy, Chad, and Cody's grandparents. It was a lot of fun. This was the first family gathering we've had at our house. It worked out wonderfully. Plenty to eat and drink and had fun visiting with everyone. Boston was in heaven because he got to sit at his new picnic table with his cousin Ryan. I remember when I was little I always had to sit at the little kids table. They looked so cute though. Cody got spoiled this year. He got some money from the grandparents, gift cards from his brothers and Dy, an Itunes gift card from my dad and robin, and a peg board for the garage with some tool hooks and a work bench. Oh yeah, and he got an Ipod touch from me and Boston. I'm pretty sure he liked that gift. It really turned out to be a wonderful evening. Today it's back to work for him though with a softball game and a soccer game tonight. It never ends does it, even on our birthday. I know that Cody wouldn't have it any other way.

Cody is such a WONDERFUL husband and an AMAZING daddy. He always puts our family first no matter how busy he is. I can't believe I lucked out and was able to marry my high school sweetheart. We have so many memories that we get to share together and so many more to come. Thank you for all you do for us and for having such a big heart. We love you pooh bear and have a wonderful birthday!


OUR STREAKER
We went to church yesterday and we were getting ready to take Boston to nursery. He LOVES going to nursery. It use to be a big fight with crying and Cody and I having to sneak out. Now he happily walks to class opens the door, gives me five, and says "See ya mom". It definitely makes it so much easier. Yesterday, there was a little girl walking behind us SCREAMING because she didn't want to go. Boston kept looking up at me with this worried look. I just kept smiling at him and trying to distract him. Well, we get into nursery and he's a little hesitant to let go so I told him "why don't you go tell her it's okay and ask her to play with you". He just looked up at me with a scared look and said "no way mom". He then just gave me five and went on his way. Well after classes we picked him up and were walking home and I noticed that his pants kept falling down. I took a closer look and noticed that they were on backwards!! I asked him if he took his pants off in nursery and he said "yes". So I said who put them back on and he said "I did". So now we have a little streaker. He was quite proud I think because he could do it all by himself. I should have guessed this would happen because he will be jumping on the tramp at his grandparents house and all of the sudden his pants are on the grass. Or in the morning he'll be very quiet for a bit and I'll go check on him and he's no longer in pajamas. I guess I just didn't think he'd do it in nursery. Boys will be boys I guess.

Coach Valdez

I've mentioned in previous posts that Cody has been helping coach the THS soccer team. He never played soccer but just loves the game. He has really enjoyed the season. This Tuesday was the last league game so they had an alumni vs varsity game today. Cody played and did really well. He had two shots on goal. One was blocked by the goalie and the other hit the top bar. Boston and I just love watching him play sports and cheering him on.

Boston LOVES going to soccer games. It doesn't matter if it's the high school or the Real games. He loves soccer. He constantly kept running out on the field (pitch) to play with his soccer ball. We were sitting in front of one of the spare goals so he kept kicking his ball into the net. Boston got himself caught in the net many times. He didn't get mad though. I think he thought it was pretty funny. So did I.


I just had to share this picture of Boston. I think I've mentioned before that Boston is a nut. He checks his toes every now and then to make sure he doesn't have any toe jam. Yes, this his him cleaning his toes. I know it gross and we don't know where he got it from.

Last week we got to spend the whole week with my sister Mandy and her husband Dave and baby Emily. It was so much fun. Boston LOVES Emily. He constantly tells me "Mom, Emily best friend me!" I take that as Emily is his best friend. He did great with playing with her and sharing his toys. I was a little worried how he would do with that. There were a few times I had to tell him to quit kissing her. He just wanted to be with her all the time. When I came time for them to go home we were all very sad. Boston wasn't too happy to wake up and all of them not be at our house. We definitely miss them all very much. The whole time they were out here I forget to get my camera out so this is the only picture I got of Boston and Emily playing. Oops.



Well to finish this post I thought I'd update you on my pregnancy. I'm 14 weeks now and everything is going great. I'm finally looking pregnant and not like I've gained lots of weight. With this baby I definitely showed early. I have been loving it though. I can't wait till I can really feel it move. I'll try to be better about updating more often so that it doesn't end up being so long.

Catching Up

Life just flies by and I forget to update you all on what's going on in our life. Well first of all Boston's wall in his room is finally finished being painted. Rowe did an excellent job and Boston sure enjoyed the visits we would get during the process. Rowe became his buddy. We still need to get some wood to border the picture and frame it in but the painting is done. We sure love how it turned out.
My brother Mark moved out here in the beginning of April. He moved to Conneticut with my mom about 15 years ago. It's so nice to have him here in Tooele. Cody started playing in an indoor soccer league in Bountiful with Mark. He loved it, but then softball started and they ended up on the same night. He was pretty bummed that he can't play soccer anymore unless he get a rain out for softball. He did get to play one game though and it was fun to watch them play together.

Boston LOVES soccer! He had to take his soccer ball to the game and when the game was over him and grandpa Rich had to go on the kids field and play. Boston's actually very good at dribbling the ball to the goal and scoring.
