Running

This is kind of old but I have been wanting to blog about it for awhile and now have the time to do it. A couple of weekends ago Cody was asked by one of his buddy's to fill in for him in a race, that he was suppose to do but he was going to be out of town and couldn't do it so he asked Cody if he could do it in his place. Cody said yes but also told him he hadn't ran much this summer so he might be a little slow, I still knew Cody would make good time. Me on the other hand if someone asked me to fill in at the last minute to run in a race I'm sure I would pass out a block into it, I guess it is a good thing I wasn't the one asked to run. Well Cody was on a team of four to run a Marathon around Provo, Cody had to run just under seven minutes and he finished in a great time. I was so proud of him and I was actually there at the finish line to see him, well actually I was parking the car when he finished so I wasn't able to cheer him on like I wanted to but I saw him finish.

Work

Well I finally started work last week, and I never thought I would say this but I was excited to start work again. Only because all summer Cody and I played together all summer long, because both of us had the summer off. Once Cody started school I didn't have anyone to hang out with any more. So I was filling my days with going to the gym, cleaning, and spending hours at Target wishing to buy everything but had no money to buy anything that I wanted. I'm pretty sure all of the Target employees were seriously wondering if I was homeless because I spent so much time there.
Work has been good so far I haven't started to teach yet. The kids first day of school is next Monday the 22ND, last week me and my co-teacher had to go visit our students at there homes to meet there families and to see what there home situations were like. It was neat to meet all of the kids one on one and get to play with them. This week we are putting our room together which seems like it is endless. And then we have training's for the second part of the week. I'm excited to have the kids come and to finally hang out with them and watch them grow into little flowers (OK that was cheesy but I just had to add it).

Labor Day Camping

We went camping over Labor day weekend we went up Friday and came home late Saturday Morning. It was a short trip but it was so much fun. We have been wanting to go camping with our friends Megan and Brad all summer. Our friend Kristi came home for the weekend and we decided we better go camping before the summer is over and we can't go. So Shannon, John, Kristi, Tiff, Brad, Megan and baby Abbie all went up and ate tin foil dinners, Cody and my favorite camping dinner and then we just hung out and played games until the late hours of the night. It was so much fun, I love camping!

Homemade Bread

So if you can't tell this is a loaf of bread. On Sunday I realized that we didn't have any bread and so I didn't know what I was going to do for Cody's lunch on Monday. Then I remembered that I have been wanting to try to make homemade bread with my bread maker, that we got for our wedding. So I pulled out the bread maker and all the ingredients, started the machine and let it go to work. Three hours later I went to take it out of the machine and it looked like this, well to me it looks like a pile of cooked dough not like a loaf of bread. Well we picked at it for a minute and it tasted OK. The next morning I went to go throw it away and it was as hard as a rock. I guess I can say that I tried to make bread. I will try to make bread again but not today, hopefully when I do try again it will look like a loaf of bread and not a lump of cooked dough.

Date Night

On Friday night Cody and I had a date night. It was one of the first in awhile since we have been gone on Vacation. On Friday we went bowling at Fat Cats and played two games, before we started we placed our bets and we decided that whoever won would get to choose where we were going to go for dessert. Well Cody ended up winning both games, although I almost had him on the first one. I took a bowling class at Snow College but I was only in it for one day before I had to drop it and take a different class. I thought that one day would have helped me out in my bowling career but I guess you have to be in the class for longer than one day for it to help you on your moves.

After our two intense games of bowling we played three games of Air Hockey, it was so much. I won one game and Cody won one, so of course we had to play a third to break the tie, and Cody won that third game and he was one happy boy, but it was a very close game. Since Cody won bowling, he choose to go to Jamba Juice. We both love it. I love having date night and going out and doing fun things with each other.

Cody's Lunch Box

This is Cody on Monday ready to leave for another week of school. After he had been going to school for his first week, we thought it would be better if he had a real lunch box than having a paper bag for him to carry his lunch in. When I was a little girl I had a pink mini mouse lunch box and I loved it so much. So I thought it was a must that Cody have a lunch box.
While I was shopping for his lunch box I had a hard time finding him a good old hard plastic lunch box and I was sad because I was only finding the soft cloth lunch bags now what is that? I was so happy when I found a hard, black, plastic, lunch box. With a picture of the Hulk on it, I took it home not knowing if Cody was serious about carrying around a hard lunch box but he seemed excited when I showed it to him. So the next day I packed him a nice lunch in his cool Hulk lunch box. He took it with a smile and went out the door. But then today as I was writing this I realized I haven't seen that cool lunch box again. So the real question is does Cody really like his lunch box or not?

First day of school!

Today was Cody's first day of grad school at BYU! He looked so handsome, he had to wear a suit to his first day of school. I made him a breakfast so that he wouldn't go hungry during school and then I made him a sack lunch to take with him. I'm so proud of him and I know he will do a great job.
