Cody's first Christmas.

Russ and I both had to work Christmas Eve, so we left Cody with my mom for the night. When we got off we went to my parents house and had our Christmas morning there. It was loads of fun. Cody got spoiled even more than he already is. In his defense, he is do damn cute you can't help yourself. He is way too young to even care about Christmas yet, he can't even get a good enough grip to open presents. I loved spending Christmas at home with my parents and my boys.


This is Cody in his Bumbo. It helps his lazy little butt sit up. I think it is one of the more creative inventions for babies.


This is Hayden (the ninja, or has he puts it the "inja") and Jake (the cowboy) dressed up on this special occassion, Christmas morning. They are just too cool.

Cody and Daddy. Russ got a rubiks cube for Christmas to occupy his time on the john.

Professional Picture Time

Once again, it was time for pictures. Can I just say I love Kiddie Kandids, more like, I love my photographer that I request every time at Kiddie Kandids. Sara, you do an amazing job!!


Our fun family photo. I think that photo does
a great job of portraying how wonderful we think
our baby is. We are constantly telling each other
how we can't imagine life without Cody. He is our
greatest blessing.


This pictures just cracks us up. It looks like he
is totally sledding down the hill and getting a
kick out of it.


This is my favorite. This is Cody's
classic "Mom, I think your wonderful"
smile. Have to capture the moments
while they last, cuz they don't think
your quite so great when they get a little older.

Family Christmas Fun!!

My family got together for some Christmas fun. The original plan was to go see the zoo lights, but the day ended up being bitter cold, so we had a change of plans. We all went to the Classic Fun Center, so that is why we look a little rough. We played hard on blow up toys, laser tag, skating, and arcade game. It was tons and tons of fun. I love spending time with my family. There were actually 3 different Christmas parties that we could have attended that night, one of which was Russ' whole extended family Christmas party, which he caught crap for missing, but my family planned first. So sorry!!


I love this picture because I don't have a lot of
pictures with Cody and me.

We went to Garcia's for dinner after the fun center.

Kitty and Tim, and their two girls Brindyl and Annie

Annie has the most bratty look on her face, and Brindyl

is like whoa! that was bright.

Christian and Ever, our niece and nephew.

They are a few months apart, but we call them

the twins. Poor Cindy has her hands full!!

Mom, why does Santa look so much like Grandpa?

Russ' dad dressed up as Santa this year for their ward Christmas party and wanted to have a picture with Cody. I was kind of hoping for one of those pictures with Cody screaming his face off on Santa's lap, but if there is one thing I have learned about Cody, it is that he has his own little agenda. Oh well, maybe next year. At least I got a picture of him smiling so dang cute.

I love my chubby little baby!!

Gobble Gobble

I'm sure Cody is going to look at this when he is older and think, "Mom, what were you trying to do to me?" But I couldn't resist, it was way too cute. Poor kid has to be the first and get tortured by his mom all the time.

I love Thanksgiving Gobble Gobble!!

Cody and his Heaven Buddy (Cousin) Brindyl

Cody's cousin Brindyl was born November 12th. We call them little heaven buddy's cuz they are so close in age, and we are pretty sure that they are going to love each other and be best friends. I think that Cody is always going to be twice her size though.

Best Little Heaven Buddies!!

Cody and Daddy

Russ loves his little monster, and loves to tote him around when he is out feeding the animals. Cody needs to be a little bigger for all the things that daddy thinks he should be ready for right now, but that is why Cody has a mommy. Even still, I get a huge kick out of the things that Russ does with Cody. I know that they are going to be buddies when Cody gets to be a little bit older, but for right now Cody is still a mama's boy and I am going to keep it that way for a while.

I'm Two Months Old!!

I can't believe how fast he is growing. Already 12 lbs and only two months old!! I love to kiss his chubby little cheeks!! Cody had to get his shots today, so we hurried and got some pictures before we had an upset baby!! He is kind of a grumpy kid so we were really glad to get a couple of pictures of him smiling. He was Blessed on November 2nd so we just did blessing, two month, and Halloween pictures in one sitting.

I'm Six Weeks Old Today

I'm So Handsome

Happy Birthday Cody

This had to be the happiest day of our married lives!! Cody was absolutely perfect and darling. I fell in love immediately, every doubt I ever had about being a mom melted away in moments. My labor nurse was amazing, she was actually one of my nursing instructors. Dale, my nurse midwife, did an incredible job. He even took all of these pictures. The labor was a little bit scary because Cody had the cord around his neck and his heart rate would drop really low every time I had a contraction. Russ and I were both so relieved when it was all over and we had our beautiful baby boy on our arms. As you can see from the pictures, Cody looked just like his daddy from the very first moments.

Brand New Blogger

I am brand new to the blogging world, so be patient with me! I have been meaning to set a blog up ever since I had Cody so that I could post pictures of my little cutie. I have been having so much fun being at home with Cody so I just haven't found the time yet.
