Cody hanging out in his igloo tent

Cody loves the tent he got for his birthday! Lately he has been packing it full of blankets, boxes, bikes, toys --whatever he can find-- and playing and playing! He loves to hide in there when Steve comes home so that Steve has to "find" him (even though the tent is in the living room right by the front door). Cody is so good to entertain himself most of the time. Yesterday, I was proofreading my dad's book about my Grandma Duncan and Cody just played in his tent or with this box most of the time. He did want me to read books to him for awhile. So I took a little break and we read all 30 of our library books. If there would have been more we would have read more. Steve had already read most of the books with him before going to school. He loves books! I am grateful for such a good-natured little boy in our family. He has so much love and he is so forgiving and innocent.

Kyle & Ashleigh's Reception

Last week we went to Kyle & Ashleigh's reception at the Timpanogos Park. We had fun visiting with family and enjoying this great September weather. Cody played with Carson and Kenzie in the bushes for most of the time. Cody sometimes gets a little crazy when he gets around other kids. At one point, Cody was a little too excited and started body slamming one of the bushes and flattening it to the ground. Sometimes it's hard not to laugh at kids when they are doing things they shouldn't, but we did put a stop to it and I think the bush will survive.
