Haley loves Jakes Bar and Grill

We are happy to say that Haley is loving working at Jakes Bar and Grill, and that things are working out with balancing school and Varsity Soccer so far. It was tough in the beginning because she had to miss out on the beginning of her soccer tournament because of training which wasn't easy for her, but now everything is going fine with making it to practice and games. Her boss seems really cool about scheduling her around her practices and games too.

Now that it is Christmas break she can work some more hours and make some good money. That should help her to have a little bit more spending money around the holidays to do things with family and friends :)

We are so proud of you Haley. You are growing up sooo fast, and such an adult now. I can't believe that in less than 6 months you will already be 18 years old. Whew!

Love you Haley!!! xoxoxoxxx

Cody is 10 months old

I can't believe it. The time has gone by so fast. Cody is starting to stand more and more on his own, and we think he will be walking in no time. He also sits up on his knees and plays with his toys. Cody signed "more" to us a couple days before he turned 10 months too. One of the cutest things though is watching his face light up with the biggest smile, and then seeing him clap his hands. He is such a happy boy and a joy to have in our family. The last 10 months have been the best months of my life, and I can't wait to see what Cody discovers in the next months to come :) Mommy, Daddy, Sissy and Logan love you sooo much Cody!!! xoxoxoxxx

Haley has her first job!!!

Haley got a job at Jakes Bar and Grill as a hostess. Training starts this week. We are so happy for Haley and can't wait to find out how it goes. The nice thing is it is right by our house on Higley and Queen Creek so it will be convienent with going to work after school and after/before soccer.

Good luck Haley!!!

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe that it is December 1rst, 2010 tomorrow. This past year has gone by sooo fast! It has been the best year of my life though thanks to my awesome husband, Craig, daugther Haley, and my sons, Logan and Cody.

Haley is truckin through her senior year of highschool, and she made Varsity Soccer!!! Yay Haley we are so proud of you!! She is a great girl, and I'm so lucky to have her in my life. Haley is the best big sister, Logan and Cody think the world of her.

Logan is now 5 years old, and he is definetly keeping me on my toes. He is the best big brother and such a huge help with his little brother Cody. Always playing with Cody, and then so willing to pick up the toys in the living room once they are done. His other fav's are playing the wii, and his ds xl. This past few months he also was in his first season of soccer. He did a great job, and made some new friends. His fav... Jake! (Have to get them together for a playdate soon)... now were taking a few months off and then he will play again starting in February.

Cody is now 9 1/2 months old, crawling all over the place, playing with every toy he sees, pulling up on everything, standing on his own for a few seconds, clapping, eating all kinds of new foods, and stage 2 and 3 baby food. I'm still nursing him at least for another month or so... which is why we are working on sippee cups and hoping he gets the hang of them soon. He has 5 teeth now (2 top, and 3 bottom) which is another reason nursing will be done soon, lol! I do have to admit that he has the cutest smile (cheezy grin) I've ever seen though.

Craig is still working with his dad doing water treatment for JC Products, and then he is home with the boys a few nights a week while I'm at work. He is an awesome dad, best friend, and husband. I don't know what I would do without him and I thank God for him each and every day! I love you hunny!!

I'm still a server at Grimaldis and I love it. Working just a few nights a week is perfect, and really helping to pay the bills. My fav nights there are when it is so steadily busy that the time just flys by and the tips keep coming, lol!! Working as a server has also helped me to accomplish losing all the baby weight gained while prego with Cody, plus some. Which is a huge accomplishment.

Well, enough for now... diaper duty calls. Night!!

Chillin with the Stillmans

Logan, Cody and I had so much fun hanging out with Auntie KK, Presley and Jaggar today. It was quite entertaining watching Logan and Pres play together and Jaggar and Cody playing together. The kids have all grown up so much, and they are all so much fun. Let's just say there never was a dull moment, and between Kristin and the kids I was always laughing. Thanks Sis!

The only uh oh of the day was.... that poor Jaggar didn't get a nap today at my house, but he pulled it off like a champ and enjoyed a popsicle with mommy that he would have missed out on if he was napping, lol! Shhh... don't let Cody know he missed out while he was napping :)

Thankfully Kristin did find sometime to help me fix my blog and now I need to catch up on everything that has happened lately.

I think I can, I think I can

Cody is ready to start crawling soon. He was scooting all around the living room last night. Pushing up on his hands and knees :) With a little more practice he will be crawling in no time.

Wrestling.....

Last night big brother and Cody also fit in some time to wrestle with each other. The boys are so cute together and it really cracks us up watching them play together. I love it!!

Time Flies....

With each day Haley, Logan and Cody change so much and Craig and I realize more and more that they are growing up soooo fast!! Haley is researching colleges, Logan is going to be 5 next month, and Cody is already 7 months old. Craig and I are so blessed and we couldn't love our kids or eachother anymore than we already do. We thank God each day for blessing us, and keeping us safe and healthy.

Vikings Fans!!!

We got all dressed and ready to cheer on the Vikings with daddy. Good luck Vikings!!!

Papa came to visit us

Yesterday Papa came over to spend sometime with Logan and Cody.... and boy did they love having him here. I loved it too!! Logan still can't get enough Papa time, and Cody is getting more and more familiar with hanging out with his papa. I loved having my dad here, and can't express how happy it makes me to see him with my boys. Spending time together making special memories, and really getting to enjoy being with the ones you love is the best!

We love you Papa (aka... Dad)

Storytime with Daddy :)

One of my favorite things is watching Craig spend time with his boys. Last night daddy was able to read both of the boys a book and it was precious. Cody loved it just as much as his big brother, and he sat and listened so well. Too cute!!!

Cody is 7 Months Old Already!!!

I can remember the day we had Cody so clearly and I can't believe that 7 months has already gone by. He was such a little guy when he was born, and now he is a 21 lb. Chunka, Chunka (that is what we call him). He says, "dadda" and runs around the house in his walker, loves playing with anything that he can get his hands on, rolls all over the living room floor, and sleeps through the night (most of the time).

Cody also has the greatest personality. He crinkles up his nose at us, and smiles so big. I love when he smiles and shows us his two bottom teeth. So adorable! He also has the cutest laugh, and when he cracks up after dancing, playing in his excer saucer, jumping in his bouncer, or eating some yummy fruits and veggies it gets the whole family laughing.

With each day that goes by Cody changes so much. He is getting longer and longer all the time. He loves going out in his stroller. Really anything outside is so enjoyable for him. We can't wait till the weather is nice out so we can take him outside more often.

I know that the next month is going to bring so many more changes, and I look forward to spending each day with my Cody Codes. Such a great baby boy, and we all love him so, so much!!!

Bathtime :)

Logan and Cody love, love, love... bathtime!! It is so cute to watch them play with their toys while they splash in the water. Cody loves watching big brother play and Logan loves giving Cody a mohawk, and then having me give him a matching one too. Bathtime has really become a time that I enjoy each night with the boys. Plus, it gets the boys closer to bedtime and hopefully a full nights rest for all of us :)

Cody is almost 6 months old!!

It's hard to believe that in 5 days my baby boy will already be 6 months old. Time has flown by so fast. He is now rolling around from back to belly and belly to back.. Loves to scoot around on his back while he plays in his play gym with all of his toys, and he really loves jumping in his new jump-a-roo!!!! The more we laugh and tell him to bounce the faster and higher he jumps. He loves showing us what he can do.

Hanging out with the Lutt Family

We finally were able to hang out with the Lutt Family :) Lately this has been a challenge even with us living right across the street from each other because of work schedules.

We were able to swim, and Cody and Logan did great! Logan is swimming all over the place, and Cody loved floating in his froggy floatie. Cody didn't fuss once in the pool. He splashed water on himself and had a great time watching Logan play with his good friends, Avery and Logan Lutt.
Logan and Logan were Spiderman, while Avery was Ariel of course :)

After playing for a while in the pool we stayed for an awesome lunch. Which was very nice because Cody played in his play gym, and bouncer while we ate and we were able to catch up :)

When we headed home the boys laid down for a nice nap and mommy was able to get ready for work. Very enjoyable Saturday.

Cody cut his first tooth

He has been teething for awhile now, and it sure has made him uncomfortable, but its official... Cody cut his first tooth today :) Just another way to show us that our baby boy is growing up.

Wow, Senior Year is already here!!

I can't believe that Haley's senior year of high school started today. Time has flown by so fast, and she is so grown up!!!

My prayer is that she truly enjoys her last year of high school to its fullest! With her friends, sports, and anything else that makes her time enjoyable :) Memories that she can look back on in years to come and still remember every detail.. that helped her to become a confident, fun loving, caring, kind hearted adult....

Here's to a great year ahead of you Haley!! We love you so much!! Good luck!!

Love,
Daddy, Sheri, Logan and Cody

Serving at Grimaldi's

So far so good..... I have my first two nights of serving on my own at Grimaldi's down, and a whole bunch left to go. Everyone that I work with is so nice, and the customers have been great too. I love how fast the time flys by when I'm there. Before I know it the time has come to start cleaning up for the night, and get home to my boys. Who always have such big smiles on their faces for mommy, and big hugs and snuggles too. Love it!!

Now I have Thursday, Friday and Saturday off to enjoy. Then back to work on Sunday night! Hope its busy!!!

Logan, Logan, Logan.....

Logan cracks me up so much! Today he was Wolver-Cyclops!!! He loves to act out scenes from his favorite super heros and is more than willing to pose for pictures. Craig and I can't get over the different things he says and does, and Cody finds it very entertaining too :)


This is one of the very reasons I feel so blessed to be home with my boys each day. Watching them play and have so much fun, really warms my heart. I love them so much!!!

Sleep, what's sleep??

Well, Cody is 5 months old and still has no bedtime routine....... ugh!!!

Things have gotten even crazier when I started serving part time at Grimaldi's the beginning of this month. Daddy is doing great at home with taking care of the boys... its just bedtime that gets us everytime....

Then on a night like last night.... Cody was in bed by 10, which was great!!! Then he was up at midnight and 4am. It's hard getting up at first but then I see how happy he is to see me and the big smile on his face and my heart just melts!

After he has a clean diaper and a full belly I find myself praying that he will go back to sleep for a few more hours, so that mommy can sleep a little more too. Which he did until 8am!

Now it is time for mommy to get her morning cup of coffee, and spend some time with her boys before I have to go to work tonight :)

Lets Catch Up.....

I have to start by saying that I am the happiest I've ever been in my whole life and I feel completely blessed to have such an awesome husband, and the greatest kids in the whole world!!

Now too briefly catch everyone up.....

Craig and I have been together since November of 1998- Almost 12 years!! We were married on November 6, 2004 (One of the happiest days of my life). This was the day that I married my best friend, and felt like the luckiest woman in the world!

Haley was 5 1/2 years old when we met and 12 when we got married... and now she is 17 years old! Whew, she sure has grown up so fast! I can't say enough good things about her, and have to say that I am very lucky to have such a great daughter. Haley is the best big sister and both of her brothers... Logan and Cody love her to pieces!!

Logan was born on October 28, 2005, and he is such a blessing in our lives! The past almost 5 years have gone by so fast, and I love him more and more each day. Logan loves spending his time playing with his super hero squad toys, playing the wii, and spending time with his family, friends and our pets (Reese, Tana, Anakin, and Romeo). I don't know what I would do without Logan. He is such a great "Big Guy" and Cody is going to have so much fun playing with him as the boys get older. Logan looks up to his sissy so much too! He wants to spend as much time with her as possible, and loves when she watches/plays the wii with him, or lets him hang out with her in her room.

Cody was born on February 13, 2010, and he is such a blessing in our lives! I can't believe he is already 5 months old! My baby boy is growing up so fast, and changes with each day that goes by. I love his smiles and he has the cutest dimples ever! Cody loves spending time playing with Daddy, Mommy, Sissy, Big Brother Logan, and our pets! His favorite things to do right now are rolling around in his play gym (he rolls over from his back to belly but is still trying to figure out how to get back onto his back. Cody also loves playing in his exersaucer and talking (baby talk) as loud as he can while he plays with his seal, elephant, and horse (well chews on them.) One of his newest things to do is going swimming! Loves it!!! Each new experience is so fun, and I feel so lucky to have him in my life.

So as you can see we are truly blessed, and looking forward to the rest of our lives together :)

We finally have a Blog!!!

Wow, setting up our family blog has been on my mind forever. I just never seemed to get around to it... So please be patient as I am totally a blog beginner and have no idea what I'm doing!!!
