Visit with JT
Every year at around Cody's birthday, Ashley and JT come up for the weekend. As the boys are getting older, they have so much more in common. They played together very well and as you can see from the pictures below, they had to sleep in the same room. We couldn't believe they actually went to sleep! (pardon the look of Cody's room, we were about to re-do it....pictures are coming in the next post!)
NASCAR Party Pictures!
His 4th Birthday party was a BLAST! We had a jump, games, pizza and a NASCAR cake! I think you can see from the pictures fun was had by all! We were so blessed that many friends and family drove from out of town to be with Cody on his special day!

Cody's actual birthday....
Cody's 4th birthday was on a Wednesday. We were able to celebrate it with our play date friends! It was bittersweet though, because it was Erin's last play date before moving to California. We miss her!!
We partied it up with the kiddos and then that night, he had his choice of what he wanted to eat and he chose Johnny's Pizza. After, back to the house for a couple of gifts from mommy and daddy. He got his backpack and lunchbox for school and a framed Jimmy Johnson NASCAR print for over his bed. His big present was to be delivered on Friday, but it never came. Over a week later, it finally showed up. A REAL steering wheel, pedals, and gear shifter to play with his NASCAR for the PS3 game his MiMi and PaPa gave him.

Pool Fun with friends!
Sunday evening was spent cooking out at the grill and swimming in the pool with great friends! Yes, Cody was the only boy but he didn't seem to mind at all!
Saving money is TOO much fun!
I've been clipping coupons now for 3 weeks. It has become a fun game to see how much I can get for under my budget! Here are ALL of the fun things I purchased today. The best part is I only have to pick up a few things next week such as fresh fruit and veggies and bottled water!
I spent $112.72 and SAVED $101.58!

What does your child sleep with?
So Courtney posted this question on her blog. She wanted to know what does your child sleep with. Well, here is your answer! This is Cody's room (for now). We're about to do an overhaul of his room and change it. Changing the color and making it a tasteful NASCAR theme. If you have any ideas on how to keep this looking decent but with a NASCAR theme, I would love to hear them! We're thinking maybe a Fathead Jimmy Johnson car on the wall behind his bed? ANYWAY.....
Here is the answer to Courtney's question. Cody sleeps with: Kitty, little blanket, green blanket, Chip, Dale, Star Wars Mickey, regular Mickey, Test Track Mickey AND Safari Mickey. There is barely any room for him!
So now I ask the question to you! What does YOUR child sleep with??

Slip-n-slide Friday
Cody and his little friends Mia and Madi! We had other little friends here, but they left before I had a chance to break out the camera. We hope to do Slip-n-slide Fridays at least once a month now!!

GIST - Weekends!
This weekend was a nice one for our little family. We worked in the yard Saturday. Dennis and Cody put pine straw down in the yard (well, Dennis put it out and Cody spread it out a little thinner).
It was HOT outside so Cody took multiple breaks with his water in the shade.
Sunday in our house has turned into NASCAR day. No, Dennis and I don't like NASCAR. Cody loves it! As soon as he gets up he starts asking what time the race comes on. Jimmy Johnson is his favorite driver and he tells us he is going to take his place driving the Lowe's car when he gets old enough. This is the scene all over the house during the day. He LOVES playing with his cars.

Summer 2009 has begun!
Playing in the fountain at Suwanee's The Big Splash!
I have a feeling we'll be here a LOT this Summer!
Disney Pictures...FINALLY
So...as a little recap...we took little man to Disney World as a surprise trip May 16-23rd. The video in the previous post says it all. He had a wonderful time. We stayed at All Star Movies Resort on Disney property and we did the dining plan. We had the BEST time with character breakfasts and sit down meals. Teppan Edo in Japan was MY favorite of all. It rained from Monday-Friday but we made the most of it and put on our ponchos and kept going the best we could. Still to this day he keeps telling me "I can't believe we actually went to Disney World." He rode almost everything he was tall enough to ride (except Tower of Terror) and he LOVED Splash Mountain and Test Track. The rest of the pictures are after the link below. Enjoy!!

Disney Reaction
I'll post pictures later, but I'll tempt you with this juicy tidbit...
This is when he realized we were ACTUALLY at Disney World and it wasn't just a sign by the road that we passed.

My GiST today
Grace in Small Things
I received a box from my little man after church which contained several little notes that explain "I love my mom because..." which they filled out in Kid's Church. His BEST answer was "She is sweet! LOTS of sweet." Can't beat that
He also picked a flower for me in the yard and daddy put down grass seed to fix the patches he tore up in our beautiful grass with his golf club. Overall, it was a good mother's day. I just missed my mom something AWFUL!
