Spring is finally here!!!!

As I went to pick Cody up from my Aunt Norma's house, I seen a bunch of daffadils growing in her yard. Lucky thing is I had Cody's camera still in my purse. So this is one of the many pics I took. It is my favorite sign that Spring is finally here!!!

Cody's B-day Dinner

We all went out to eat for Cody's Birthday on Saturday. We went to Ryan's, so that everyone would get a variety. As you can see Cody sat right in front of a window and the sunlight was not kind to the pictures. Now these pics were also taken on Cody's camera. Now the top picture has a little story to it. Last June for Lacy's birthday, My mom(Vivi) asked Cody to make her a birthday card for Lacy, well, she got the card you see in the picture. After she read it she told him that it wasn't exactly what she wanted for her granddaughter who was turning 6, and who wouldn't understand the card. So Vivi saved the card that she actually paid Cody to make, and gave it to him for his birthday. That is why he is making the face. After dinner at Ryan's, Cody had a friend of his over to watch movies and play playstation. The two of them stayed up almost all night. But they had a good time.
Now Cody also got his cast off on Friday. He still has to wear a brace for 2 more weeks. Then Samie broke her ankle yesterday. She had broke the left one a couple of years ago. This time she broke the right one. So I will be posting some pics of Samie in her new cast soon.

Happy Birthday Cody!!!!

Today my baby turned 13, I told someone recently that I didn't feel like I was old enough to have a teenager. So as a way to remember when he was small, I did a little collage on the computer. There is a picture of his 1st birthday. This is the only picture I have of his 1st birthday, and it was messed up. We took a video that day and it is at my aunt Norma's house. There is also a picture of my Pawpaw holding Cody, this was at my cousin Mike and Meredith's wedding. This is the only picture I have of my grandfather holding one of the great grandkids.
The picture of Cody on the phone should have been a sign of things to come, because all he does is talk on the phone and on the internet.
I have to tell you the story behind the one with the birthday cake. When Cody turned 3(this pic) when it was time to blow out the candles, Cody sneezed all over the cake instead. It is funny now to look back at that day, but it was kind of gross when it happened.
And I put the one with him at the wheel of the dune buggy. Cause I know that it will only be 3 more years before he is actually old enough to be behind the wheel of a car. I said old enough, not that I would let him. :)
The hardest thing for me right now is to believe that Cody is 13 today. Time flies, and kids grow way to fast. I can't even hold him in my arms the way that I did when he was little, because he is bigger than me now.
Happy Birthday Cody, even though you are growing taller and becoming closer to becoming an adult, you will always be my baby.
Love, MOM

HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY!!!!

I hope that the Luck of the Irish is with you for the rest of the day!!!!:)
These pictures were taken yesterday, since St. Patrick's Day was on a Saturday the kids wore their green on Friday. Of course Cody wore his green to the dance on Thursday. But I thought that I would take a couple of pics of them with green on anyway. Good Day to One and All and God Bless!!! By the way Casey gets mad when I call it St. Patty's Day that is why I titled it that way. ;)

All Dressed Up!!

Casey picked out her dress this past Sunday for church, as she does every Sunday. But this particular dress I remember that I had a picture of Samie wearing it. Now the only difference is that Samie is actually a couple of years older than Casey is now when she wore the dress. That is how much bigger Casey is than Samie was. But they both looked very pretty and lady like in the dress. :)
It is hard to remember Cody and Samie that small. Cody will be 13 next Friday. And it is hard for me to see him that much bigger now. They grow up way to fast.
Well, we are almost finished with the kitchen, all we have left is countertops. I am so excited.

Ducks On Ice!!

The week that Cody broke his arm, I think it was on Thursday when these pictures were taken. We were driving on our way home to get something before we could pick Casey up, anyway, we past this house that has a manmade pond and has ducks in the pond. Well, when we looked at the pond we seen that the ducks weren't swimming they were ice skating. :) So when we got to the house, we both grabbed our cameras and whatever I needed to take to Casey when I picked her up off the bus at daycare. And after we picked Casey up, we stopped at the pond so that we could take some pictures of the ducks on the ice. Here are a few of the ones that I took. I will have to get Cody to show you the ones that he took. Or I will post them this weekend. My favorite one is the one that looks like the duck has earmuffs on. I think that it is ice. Now to let you know, we had had a bad cold spell for a while and lots of snow and ice, but this particular day it was in the 50s and it was like that through last weekend. So I am so looking forward to Spring!!!! Enjoy the pics.
