Happy Birthday Goodbye

 Sooo Cody bought himself a plane ticket to go back to Texas 2 weeks before his birthday. He was working on a BYI-I  pathways project and he hadn't transferred work stuff out to CA. So the evening before we left I told him I was taking him out to dinner and had family and friends surprise him for an early birthday dinner at Taco Joes.
I even blindfolded him and he guessed it as we crossed the threshold! His favorite senorita Laura was there serving too. It was great. It was so fun to see everybody there. and! Nan Pops and Letti were coming back from a wedding extravaganza in Utah and pulled up just in time! Little Gary and fam came. Aunt Lindy and Toni and Grandma and Grandpa Bowler and My Mom and Dad the Byrds. It was nice. 
Then we went over to Pico park and had some cake and Chocolate malted crunch mmmm. & played with big ole' bouncy balls. It was fun, and weird he was leaving. Happy Early Birthday! He will have to fill in the details of his actual birthday. He was in Texas with Locke and Katie & fam staying at our house while they found a place to move, and Craig down the street with his birthday the day after Cody's. We sent him a package but that was pretty much all we could do.
He worked his tail off at home for a group project/ movie on Elder Ballard as seen here. all 10 minutes. The credits are also noteworthy

 It was really hard being away. As soon as he could he brought a flight back home and transferred work stuff out to CA until Syd's wedding. We had made the Father's day movie to send to him because he was going to be gone for that too, but he ended up coming home the Saturday before Father's Day. It made it so much sweeter. and It was really cool to be with our Dad's for Fathers day too
