Happy Birthday to my Codybear

Twenty nine years ago I met my precious baby boy. Cody was always a joy as a child. He was my snugglebear, always happy and smiling. He was always a tenderheart, making sure everything and everyone was all right. Cody is and always was a great lover of all animals, and had many different pets over the years ~ cats, dogs, a 5 foot iguana, a tree frog, birds, and horned toads. He has always been compassionate towards others and a friend to all he meets. Cody is a great lover of all things outdoors, hiking, camping, fishing, but the only hunting and shooting he does is with his camera. :) He is married to a wonderful woman, Laurie, who is just as loving and compassionate as he is. They are true sweethearts and make everyone smile to see them together. After being close friends in high school they met up again and began dating. If I could have picked my own daughter-in-law it would have been Laurie. Happy birthday to my wonderful son who has always made me proud to be his mother.

Christmas morning at Kayci & Art's

We had a nice Christmas morning with Kayci, Art, and the kids. Yummy cinnamon rolls and lots of laughter watching Cassandra open her presents.



It's been a wonderfully busy couple of weeks. We got to go down to the Valley to spend a few days, and with a wedding shower, baptism, wedding, Temple lights and then Christmas it's been crazy. I got to visit with my sister and all of her kids and grandkids, some (grandkids) that I'd never even met. It was great seeing all the little ones running around, it reminded me so much of when my kids and their cousins did the same. Congrats to Jack on his baptism & Jessie & Mike on their wedding, wonderful choices made.. Colleen should be so proud of all her children and grandchildren.
