cody's first birthday and other adventures!!

i haven't posted anything for over a month!! so much has happened!! here it is:

Cody had his first birthday party at a park by our house. it was a lot of fun!! most of our families were in attendance and he got so many great gifts. it was awesome to have family there we don't get to see that often!! he had a little bear cake all to himself and he wasn't shy with it either!! he devoured it pretty quickly and of course, objected to the bib, so he was a mess. we did some water balloons because it was hot and then we did the pinata!! i always love to watch kids bust the pinata! (i secretly wish i could do it too) it was a blast!! the other pictures are of cody getting stuck in carson's cupboard where we keep his little cups, plates, bowls and utensils. it has a drawer so cody (and carson sometimes too) likes to crawl up inside and usually ends up crying because he is stuck. these are two separate occasions where he has gotten stuck. the very last picture is of amber, tiff, my mom , juliette and i, in flagstaff last friday. it was juliette's birthday and we drove up to surprise her and take her out for dinner and shopping. it was awesome. we had to leave early the next day, but i wished i could have stayed the whole weekend. we went to oregano's for dinner and then to the basement, a really cute urban outfitters type shop. we were there 45 minutes past closing!! but they said they really didn't mind. i can't wait to go up and visit again!!
