Bound Feet

Cody has been responding beautifully to his growth hormone resulting in him growing leaps and bounds over the last six months. For some reason we failed to buy him bigger shoes along with the larger sized clothing he needed. Anyway, on our way to a church meeting last night we stopped by the mall and got him some new shoes. When we measured his foot, to our shock he had not gone from a 7 to a 7 1/2 or even an 8. He went from size 7 to size 9. Poor kid. But in some cultures tiny feet are attractive right?

Easter!

Here are some pictures to document our hunt on Easter Morning.

Water Fun

Scott had some "comp" days he took on Thursday and Friday and we were able to go out of town to Six Flags' The Escape Lodge and Indoor Waterpark. We found it online while looking for something fun and active to do during colder days. So off we went to upstate New York. Cody was just the perfect size for everything. There were only two slides he couldn't go on, but too many other things to do for it to make a difference. Since Jade was obviously too small for everything she stayed with Grandma and Poppy for a funfilled couple days of her own. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs a little "get-a-way" during the cold season.

Cody loved the slides.

He was excited to meet Daffy Duck, but sad he didn't get to see Bugs Bunny.

This is the "tree house". You can just tell it's Scott and Cody on the stairs.

Gotta love a surfing bear.

Believe it or not Cody's favorite thing was the lazy river.

They also had this area for boogie boarding and surfing. Of course Scott got in on the action.

This is where I spent most of my free time. It was a 18 and older spa area. I guess without my kids in tow I look younger than I am because I was questioned by the life guard as to my age to make sure I was old enough to be there.

All this fun can really wipe out a kid.

Party, Party!!!

So here are a few pictures of our actual celebration of Cody's birthday:

We got him this shirt and I think it is quite appropriate.

Here is Jade enjoying her treat.

We took Cody and some family and friends bowling today for his party.

He's not too bad at it!



Uncle Ed and Aunt DeeDee gave Cody "Don't Break the Ice".

Happy Birthday Cody!

Today my little man turns 4 years old! I know it's a little cliche, but seriously time really does fly by. I can't beleive just a little bit ago he looked like this...

And now he's quite litterally a little man!

We are so glad he is part of our family. He truly is a great friend, brother and son.

My daughter's an ALIEN!

Jade had a sleep test done last night. That means she and I spent the night in New Brunswick so she could be hooked up to all kinds of wires. For the most part she was a real trooper, except she kept pulling off the moniter under her nose that kept track of her breathing. I suppose if I was hooked up to all those wires, I would try and get them off too. Anyway, I took a pic to document it, but even with all those things on her she still managed to stay looking cute!

Welcome James!

Welcome to my new nephew James Noah Kinghorn. He made a surprise entrance on Tuesday morning weighing in at 7lbs. 6oz. and 21 in. long. We are so glad you are here and can't wait to meet you.

Where do I get highlights like that?
