Cody Happenings

I apologize for the time lapse between posts! It has been crazy busy around our house! Here's a quick recap with some pictures to follow.

Easter was a pretty eventful weekend. Ashlyn woke up Easter morning with a stomach bug, so we had to skip church and just hang out at home all day. The kids were up early to see what the Easter Bunny had left them. By Sunday afternoon she was feeling a little better so we decided to do an Easter Egg hunt in the backyard. Then it was off for some icecream for a funfilled afternoon.

Mine and Brennan's birthday was jam-packed. First I went with Ashlyn on her fieldtrip to the Baa Moo Farms in Olin, which is just north of Statesville. If you've never been I highly suggest booking a trip there! Ashlyn got to experience many firsts.............milking her first cow, bottle feeding baby calves, going on a tractor ride, seeing all of the amazing farm animals first hand, and much more. It was by far the best field trip of the year! After the farm we headed over to Brennan's preschool for a class birthday party. He thought he was King of the class! Then we went to Kobe's for our birthday dinner. My choice of course since I absolutely LOVE that place! Once we got home it was the kids bedtime, but since it was Mama and Brennan's birthday we all piled in the bed for a little play time. Brennan loves to tickle, and since we were having a tickle fest he was in heaven! He climbed on my back, and I thought he was going to tickle me, well to my SURPRISE he put his face on my back and bit me. I'm not just talking a little bite.........he bit a good chunk out of my back! I screamed so loud that it scared him and then he started crying hysterically. That was probably the worst pain that I've felt in a very long time.

That weekend we decided to have a girls weekend at the beach. NO BOYS ALLOWED! It was my mom, Mammaw Sherrill, Annette, Christi, Ashlyn, and me. We had a great weekend! Ashlyn was a hoot! She kept telling us that we all needed a beach boyfriend. Her main mission was for Annette and Mammaw. She told Mammaw that she needed an old boyfriend and Annette needed a fat one (so not true!). You know how kids are though. Then she told Annette that she had "wild" hair and she needed to do something with that hair before she could find her a boyfriend. Saturday we laid out on the beach all day and then went to Broadway so that Ashlyn could enjoy the rides since it was our last night there. It was a great trip and I can't wait to go back!

This past weekend was Abernethy CDC's 30 year anniversary. They had all kinds of food, games, and rides for the kids to enjoy. It's hard to believe that it's been up and running for 30 years! I once attended there. That tells you how long they've been open! I ran into one of my teachers there from when I attened............Mrs. Linda! I just LOVED her! I talked to her for a while and looked at some old pictures of our class when I was a little girl. It brought back some great memories.

That afternoon we FINALLY had Brennan's birthday party. It had been cancelled a couple of times due to sicknesses. We had good food, good times, and alot of laughter with good friends and family! He has played and played and played with all of his new toys. He was one tuckered out boy by the end of the night.
