Toddler Beds

I thought it was time to convert Chase and Cody's cribs to Toddler Beds. I also am trying to break them from sleeping with us and sleeping all night. We have a bad habit right now of waking up at least once during the night. We took off the front panel of the cribs and the boys were so excited, they were able to climb up and down into beds. We put them to sleep and laid them in bed about 12:30pm Cody woke up (his normal time). He was almost back to sleep about 1:30 when his brother decided it was time also to wake up. Oh what fun that is too be awake at 2am. They ran around, jumped, laughed and just had a good old time in the middle of the night. They were finally tired out about 4am. And crashed until 7:45am. I am hoping that it just gets better from here!!

Here they are in their new beds!!

Chase

Cody

And of course Cody was not in his bed this morning at 6am. He was on the floor by Chase.

Funny Translation

We went to dinner last night with Pop, Grammy, Nancy, Dennis and a couple of friends of Grammy and Pop's, Dave and Mickey. Grammy had introduced Mickey to Chase and Cody. As Chase was sitting waiting for dinner, he looks up at Mickey and says Mouse. So I was the only one that knew what he was saying but it took me a minute to put the Mikey Mouse together. Everyone laughed and that is now Chase's name for Mikey.

Just a funny story that I thought that I would share!!

Weekend Fun

Since the weather was so hot here this weekend, Chase and Cody played outside in the water a lot. We saw Pop and Grammy's new (to them) house. Very lovely house. We are glad to have Pop and Grammy so close to us now so we can see them more often.

Fair Time!!

Today we went to the San Diego County Fair and oh what fun we had!! A huge thanks to Nancy and Tyler!! It was very warm in Del Mar. Chase and Cody fed the goats and sheep. Cody really didn't like that very much. They both had fun riding on the ponies. We also rode all the rides. Most of the rides were a bunch of fun. They liked the boat ride and the slide. They rode on a train and on an elephant. I went with them for the elephant ride something I had never done either - I guess it was similuar to riding a horse but bigger. Very cool!! After all that we also ate lots of yummy food from Hot Dog on a Stick to a strawberry shakes. We tried the fried avocado with ranch and it was very ood. You really can't go wrong with something that is deep fried and then spaltter a bunch of ranch dressing on it. It was very good. Here are some pictures of our fun!!

Happy Fathers Day!!

You are the best ever Daddy!!

Happy Fathers Day to Grandpa Dennis, Grandpa Richard
Great-Granpa Pop and Great-Grandpa Papa.

We Love you!!

Love Chase and Cody

Birthday Party

Chase and Cody had their birthday party on Saturday. It was a success and very fun. We had it at Victoria Gardens. It had so much to do from riding on the hayride to a petting zoo with a lot of very great animals. The giant slide was the biggest hit of all. I had made the two cakes for the party. The first cake was yellow with white frosting and decorated with the animal theme and the other was a marble cake with chocolate frosting-that said Happy Birthday. Both cakes were very delicious. Thank you for all the great presents that Chase and Cody received. Here are some of the pictures of the day.

Happy 2nd Birthday

Happy 2nd Birthday Chase and Cody!!


Another Year
I’m wishing you another year
Of laughter, joy and fun,
Surprises, love and happiness,
And when your birthday’s done,
I hope you feel deep in your heart,
As your birthdays come and go,
How very much you mean to me,
More than you can know.
