Cody's Birthday Weekend

This Friday was Cody's 25th Birthday! (Happy Birthday Heffalump!) He got to celebrate all weekend long.

On Friday, we both got off work at lunchtime, so we ate lunch at Olive Garden and then we met up with his mom and dad who came to visit for the weekend. He opened his presents--my favorite part of birthdays--from his mom and dad. (Cody got to open his gift from me a little early...I gave him his GPS before we went to the beach so he would have a chance to use it.) We spent the rest of the day shopping around with Sherri, then came back to our house to grill out steaks.

On Saturday, we got up early so we could earn some money with our yard sale. We made $188 for about 4 hours of work; that's not too shabby! Then, our wonderful neighbors, Vern and Becky, hosted Cody's birthday party at their pool. It was the perfect day to go swimming, and we all had fun! Even Jake had fun in the water! Thanks to Sherri for making her famous pound cake. After dinner, Cody HAD to go spend some of his birthday money--he bought the Wii Sports Resort and an extra Wii Motion sensor for his remote. He broke it in the second we got home! :)

After lunch on Sunday, James and Sherri went back to Taylorsville, and Cody and I just enjoyed lounging around for a while. All in all, it was a very busy weekend, but hopefully a very good one for the birthday boy!
