Cody's Birthday!

So, for Cody's birthday, his family decided to take him skydiving! It all started with Bryce and then Cody's dad was invited down to go with him and then it snowballed from there. It ended up being a family affair and they had such a great time! It was so much fun that he came home and told me I had to do it and he was going to take me for my birthday (more to come on that one). They all loved it and wanted to go right back up and do it again.

I love that Cody is always willing to try new things and that he definitely has a spirit of adventure in him. We've had such a fun marriage and have done things I never thought we'd do (living in California comes to mind). :) He brings out my fun side, especially when I forget it's there. He is a wonderful dad and I couldn't ask for a better husband and best friend. We've been through a lot together and he is everything to me. I asked him the other day if he ever gets tired of bailing me out....it's a lot of work to be married to me. :) He takes such good care of all of us and he always does it with a joke and a smile. I couldn't top this gift if I tried, and I failed miserably, by the way, but I know that he had an extremely Happy Birthday this year because of this fun day with his family! I'll do better next year...I promise!! I love you!

Turkey Trot!

Yeah!! I finally have big pictures, but I still can't fix my top picture so any suggestions would be helpful! Anyway, I'm now to Thanksgiving so I'm definitely on a roll. :) This is our annual run before the big dinner every year! We added quite a few to our group this year! It was a lot of fun, especially to run on a beautiful morning with such good friends. One of the best things is that Brit & Bai ran the race together this year. They stuck together and did really well! I was so proud of them and it was really cute to watch them run in together. I hope this continues to be our tradition and we can keep recruiting because it makes it all the more fun to do it together with the people that we're so thankful for!

And Then There Was One....

Okay, so Brittany has the acting bug. She was in the school play back in November and it was such a darling play. As you can tell, she had one of the leads....just kidding. She's the one under the lampshade in the corner of the room for most of the play, as you can see in the bottom left picture, but when she woke up and had some lines, they were hilarious. She did such a great job and was the comic relief. That bruise on her head is not real, by the way. It was so much fun watching her do something that she really enjoys and you can tell that she's finding her way and really coming into her own. She has some really cute friends from this experience and really had a great time....she had enough fun that she tried out for the "Spring Musicaaal" (as we called it in our house) so those pictures will be forthcoming. We're so proud of her and we loved the play....we hope she makes it big one day! We're her biggest fans!
