Vacation to Massachusetts

In September, we were finally able to plan a trip to visit my family on the east coast. We had a fabulous time. We not only had a great time visiting with my family, but we also did a duck tour around Boston, Boston children's museum, Freedom Trail, rode the T, Storyland in NH, Kangamangas Highway, Jackson Falls, various places in NH, Cape Cod Chip Factory tour, professional family pictures, etc. We squeezed in a lot of things in a short period of time, and add in all the family we saw and spent time with.

Bodie was great on the airplane. He was excellent the entire time while on vacation. He loved being with the family, and already misses Kami and Connor. He was so funny when we arrived in Massachusetts. He was shy with Gram, Pup, and Kami and Connor, and even Laurie. It took him at least an hour to warm up to them, and repeatedly asking if we could go home yet. Later that day, Todd walked into the room for the first time, and Bodie ran to him and gave him a big hug and kiss. He must have remembered how much he loved Todd from the last time we saw him!

Overall it was a great vacation and I am looking forward to going back. :-)

4th Birthday Bash

Bodie's fourth birthday...where did the time go? He is growing up so fast. I wish I could slow down time. It really teaches you to just enjoy every moment you have because before I know it, we will be sending him off to college.

We had Bodie's birthday bash at Gigi's and Papa Sam. He wanted a Monster Truck party, and so Gigi and I made his cake. It was so much fun to make. His birthday was fairly low key, with just water guns, slip n' slides and some pool fun. I don't think anyone made it out dry. The kids had fun getting everyone wet, and so did some of the adults. It was a very warm day, so getting wet made the weather that more bearable.

Happy Birthday to you....
