Cody's Birthday

I was totally surprised on St. Patrick's Day when my kids set out a rainbow to lure a leperchaun to our house.  They drew a rainbow and then found all the yellow skittles and put them out as a pot of gold.  Then they told me, as we were leaving to run errands, that the leperchaun would probably come while we were gone and leave them prizes.  What?!  I wasn't prepared for this!  Brylie and Cody both went to the same preschool and I'm pretty sure that Miss Debbie taught them this.  Well, after a quick text to Michael when we left the house, we were completely surprised that the leperchaun did visit our house while we were gone!  And he brought gold candy and St. Patrick's Day bears for everyone!!  I guess a leperchaun just can't resist a good rainbow and pot of gold.

Cody turned 4 last month.   I can't believe how fast he is growing up.  He is a sweet little boy and I really enjoy having him home with me.  He's really helpful and loves to help clean the house and organize things!  Wonder where he got that from? He is a "glass is half full" kid and can always point out the bright side of things.  He loves to make his little sister laugh and most of all he enjoys playing with his best friend (our next door neighbor).  We love you Cody.  Happy Birthday!

Here is a picture of Cody and his best buddy, Surf.  They play together everyday, all day!  I feel so bad knowing that we are moving in a month.  It makes me sad that Cody doesn't understand it.  When he talks about moving, he talks about Surf coming with him :-(  Hopefully we can find him another good friend in our new neighborhood.

Valentine's Day

I am slowly getting caught up.... one of these days I am going to post a holiday on the actual holiday!  Really, I might, you never know.  So here was our fun filled Valentine's Day.  Brylie is beautifully modeling her Valentine box.....

and her valentine cookie.

Grandpa Dutson came down for a quick visit.  On a side note, Sadie is obsessed with sunglasses.  In the car if the sun gets in her eyes she screams "sun" until we give her glasses.  Oh, and she usually wears them upside down.

Cody's valentine cookie.

Brylie's 1st grade program.  She did a wonderful job.

For some reason our kids like to bring us their blankets and we have to wrap them up like a burrito.  Hours of fun!  And don't mind Sadie's hair.  It was in cute piggy tails earlier in the day!

Brylie had so much fun with Dr. Seuss week.  Here is crazy hat and socks day.

I think this was mixed up clothes day!

 And last but not least.... her "Who" hair.

Cody started soccer and had fun at his only practice he ever went to!  Unfortunately the weather hasn't been too great so a lot of practices got cancelled.  Then we were out of town for a couple of Saturdays that we weren't planning on when we signed him up.  So we missed so much that we finally gave up!  Well, we'll try again next year.
