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.

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!!!
