Pearly Whites!!!

Cody started cutting a tooth last weekend. I really wasn't expecting it, but we are so excited. It's just barely coming through the gums... so pictures are still to come when there is actually something to see. We have only had one rough night so far. I feel so bad for the poor little guy because he was just so miserable. I think its extra hard to see him sad because he is usually such a good natured little guy. Even still, when he is sad and miserable he tries to put on a happy face.

Easter Weekend

We had so much fun this Easter weekend. We were able to just relax and spend time with our families. Cody got a John Deere Tractor, which he is still kind of indifferent about, but I am sure he will love it when he gets a little bit older. We haven't got a picture of it yet, maybe I should work on that.


On Sunday we went to Russell's brothers house and had a very nice dinner and an Easter Egg Hunt. Cody was not that interested in egg hunting, but he loves being outside.


These were a couple of the Eggs that Cody collected, and you guessed it, his dad put them there. The look on his face is priceless, he is like "what are you doing to me now??"



My mom did not want to do an Easter Egg hunt, so instead my mom and dad took everybody swimming. It was so much fun, and we found out that Cody is a fish!! He loves the water, and did so good at kicking and splashing. After swimming, we all went out to dinner at Garcia's.

Grandpa Paul Charleton

Russell's Grandpa Paul past away last week. He was 88 years old, and lived an amazing life. Attending his funeral was such a great experience because it allowed us to learn about his life and what an amazing person he was. Grandpa Paul is Russell's Grandma's second husband and he was such a sweet man with the greatest sense of humor. He served in the Navy for three years during WWII. After working on farms his whole life, he truley knew the meaning of hard, back breaking work. We will miss this great man, but we know that he is in a better place. His suffering is over, and for that we are grateful.

This is Cody with Grandma and Grandpa Charleton when he was about 4 months old.
